The doc for the Image class (http://www.gimp.org/docs/python/index.html) has around 20 methods. Compare to the number of gimp_image_* functions in the PDB (not speaking of all the Python class methods/attributes vs the whole PDB)(*) For a newcomer, it looks like using the Python classes isn't going to cut it, since PDB functions will have to be used anyway, so why bother with two ways of doing things? And for the laziness bit, the python-fu console gives pre-cooked PDB calls... > The code to create an image and an RGBA layer should > look like this: > > image = image = gimp.Image(100, 100, RGB) > layer = gimp.Layer(image, "RGB layer", 100, 100, RGBA_IMAGE) > image.add_layer(layer) > > Then to address you problem, you are not really creating a grayscale > layer in an RGB image.

Case closed :-) (*) I'm not underestimating the challenge of having a complete Python "vision" of the PDB... _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
