Objective
Extend Script-Fu to include additional functions that help the user.
Key Concepts and Definitions
- Script-Fu: A scripting language based on Scheme
Additional Procedures
| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
| (gimp-context-get-display) | Get the active display ID |
| (gimp-context-eraser-toggle) | Toggle the active tool to the eraser. |
| (gimp-context-eraser-paintbrush-toggle) | Toggle the active tool to the eraser and always return to the paintbrush |
| (gimp-context-get-eraser-active ) | Returns true if the Eraser Tool is active |
| (gimp-items-set-visible) | Set the visibility of a vector list of items |
Changes
- New Script-Fu Functions:
(gimp-context-get-display): Retrieves the active display ID. This ID can then be used with other display-related functions like(gimp-display-present display-id).(gimp-context-eraser-toggle): Toggles the active tool between the eraser and the previously active tool.(gimp-context-eraser-paintbrush-toggle): Toggles the active tool between the eraser and the paintbrush tool.(gimp-context-get-eraser-active): Returns 1 if the Eraser Tool is active or 0.(gimp-items-set-visible): Allows setting the visibility of a vector list of items in bulk. This can help streamline visibility management for layers, paths, or other drawable items.
Benefits
- These additional functions enhance the flexibility of Script-Fu, enabling users to toggle between tools, manage visibility across multiple items, and integrate display information into their scripts, leading to more powerful automation and customization.
