Hia Dalton!
1) Set the control points the same as the anchor points for straight
segments,
2) They aren't schemem pairs, it is a just a big list. So for a three
straight segment bezier this is an example:
#( 100 100 100 100 100 100 300 199 300 199 300 199 141 250 141 250 141 250 )
where it is really (P1x P1y P1x P1y P1x P1y P2x P2y P2x P2y P2x P2y P3x P3y
P3x P3y P3x P3y)
3) The last parameter for gimp-vectors-stroke-new-from-points is the closed
Boolean. Just set it true in your
case.
The best thing I found (running on windows) was to a) Open up a script-fu
console and play with simple images/objects to see what they commands look
like/return - I have been burned by not CARing returned layers for example)
and to b) run gimp in console mode (gimp --console-messages) so you can send
debug messages out to the console using (gimp-message "foobar")
