Calculating a new selection from the current selection would be faster
(I think):
def create_border(image, selection_type='rectangle', size=1):
is_selection, x1, y1, x2, y2 = pdb.gimp_selection_bounds(image)
if is_selection:
if size < 1:
size = 1
if selection_type =='rectangle':
pdb.gimp_rect_select(image, x1+size, y1+size,
(x2-x1)-(size*2), (y2-y1)-(size*2), CHANNEL_OP_SUBTRACT, False, 0)
elif selection_type == 'ellipse':
pdb.gimp_ellipse_select(image, x1+size, y1+size,
(x2-x1)-(size*2), (y2-y1)-(size*2), CHANNEL_OP_SUBTRACT, True, False, 0)
else:
gimp.message("Please make a selection...")
def test_plugin(image, drawable):
image.undo_group_start()
create_border(image) # A rectangular selecion with default
settings...
#create_border(image, selection_type='ellipse', size=3) # Or
Ellipse with custom settings...
# Fill
pdb.gimp_edit_fill(drawable, 0)
pdb.gimp_selection_none(image)
image.undo_group_end()
