Hi Pacco- yes, subverting Path creation for getting user coordinates is currently the only way GIMP plug-ins have to get them. (You could however, clear the paths on the plug-in call if in your workflow clearing them become a burden) It is interesting to note that even the C plug-ins that ship with GIMP can only get image coordinates by re-creating an image preview inside their window (that could be done from Python plug-ins as well). But this is done by old-style plug-ins - new style plug-ins, using GEGL, don have much of an UI definition yet, besides automatically generated UIs from the GEGL-operation parameters. I had proposed a couple of times in the past (distant past by now) to have a way to call-back plug-ins upon user actions on the images. Such a discussion should pop back anytime soon, since on-dialog image previews for plug-ins are now a thing of the past. I don't think your proposal as is should "fly" though - I can't see how to define an image "click" from within a plug-in like you do. A "click" using what tool? What settings? Maybe a "plug-in tool" that would give a plug-in (or Gegl-op ) access to all stroke parameters, more or less as specified in the "ink markup language" would be a more solid approach for GIMP (http://www.w3.org/TR/InkML/) in the foreseable future. js -><- On 15 January 2014 07:42, Paco Garcia <jfgatol@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > hi, it would be very helpful to have access to the history of each image object > from python, at least to the coordinates where the user has pressed, for > example in two of my scripts to take coordinates from the user I force them > to create paths of only use the coordinates of two nodes, if I had access > to the user history clicks only have to access the last two clicks, for > example: > img = gimp.image_list () [0] > h = img.History > x1, y1 = h.mousePos [h.Length-1] > x2, y2 = h.mousePos [h.Length] > Or something like this > Currently forced the user to create paths which then has to clear, the > examples are: > http://www.arakne.es/en/dessign/gimp-python-plugin-rotate-image-using-paths/ > http://www.arakne.es/en/dessign/gimp-script-stitch-layers/ > Paco García > _______________________________________________ > gimp-developer-list mailing list > List address: gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx > List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list > List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address: gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list
