[Gimp-developer] The clipboard selection in thegimp
Hi there,
I hope that this is not a FAQ, I am pretty new on this
mailinglist...
I am trying to get the copied selection in thegimp
(Select a region of an image loaded in thegimp and
then press ctl+c) in my gtk application. I already
know how to get for example the selection if this
is TEXT in another X or Gtk application ..
void on_button_GetClip_clicked
(GtkButton *button,
gpointer user_data)
{
static GdkAtom targets_atom = GDK_NONE;
if (targets_atom == GDK_NONE)
targets_atom = gdk_atom_intern (TEXT, FALSE);
gtk_selection_convert (button, GDK_SELECTION_PRIMARY,
targets_atom, GDK_CURRENT_TIME);
}
void on_button_GetClip_selection_received
(GtkWidget *widget,
GtkSelectionData *data,
guinttime,
gpointer user_data)
{
if (data-length 0)
{
GtkText *text;
text = lookup_widget(GTK_WIDGET(widget),text_in);
printf(%s,data-data);
}
}
Is this similar for getting the data which thegimp will
'broadcast' to the other X applications ?
my best guess is that I have to use another atom here :
targets_atom = gdk_atom_intern (TEXT, FALSE);
My next question will be .. how do I 'set' this clipboard
of thegimp from my external gtk application.. or perhaps
I will have to write a gimp plugin for something like that?
Again, I already know how to do this for TEXT clipboards ..
(there was a very good example available for this at the
Gtk+ documentation :

Since we use GTK+, the clipboard is used for texts, but as far as I know, no other data types go through the clipboard.

There's no way for you to get the contents of gimps internal buffer thru X since it is not broadcasted.

I am not a plugin developper, but would it be possible to write a plugin or- a module for thegimp that passes or sets the data of the internal gimp-buffer available to other applications ? Or should I not even think about trying to write something like that? Or is it way to difficult anyway.. ? Or maybe other suggestions ? -- Philip van Hoof aka freax (http://www.freax.eu.org) irc: irc.openprojects.net mailto:freax @ pandora.be ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

Theoretically it should be possible since Gimp exports functionality to copy to and paste from the buffer thru the PDB: gimp-edit-copy gimp-edit-paste Or maybe other suggestions ? What about using temporary files? I guess this would be easier and it solves the problem what format to use for the data.

Hi, I am trying to build Gimp on OS/2 but am having trouble. Can somebody give me some guidance in this area? All the auto tools like autoconf, automake, and those give me errors like - aclocal: configure.in: 293: macro `AM_PATH_GLIB_' not found in library any help would be appreciated. thanks.
