Re: [Gimp-user] Layer positioning via dialog
Quoting Mauro Condarelli [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I would be much happier if I could have some kind of feedback. E.g.: a box showing the position of the layer into the canvas. Any further idea?? The following Script-fu will allow you to enter numerical offsets into a dialog box. Script-fu is unable to provide a visual preview of the result but perhaps this will suit your needs (you can UNDO the operation if the result is unsatisfactory). Save the text below as a file named layer-offset.scm in your scripts directory. The command will appear as Script-Fu-Transform-Layer Offset. (define (script-fu-layer-offset image layer offset-x offset-y resize?) (gimp-image-undo-group-start image) (gimp-layer-set-offsets layer offset-x offset-y) (if (= resize?

Is there a simple way to to make a dialog that does not change the values, but updates them when I move the layer? Is this possible at all? I mean: is it possible for a dialog to react to changes made to the image? This seems to imply some kind of notification/callback mechanism that I don't know if it's implemented at all. I *will* try to get info about the available functions in the docs, but a pointer would be welcome. :) TiA Mauro ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

I Have been searching for some dialog where I can say exactly where in the canvas (much bigger than the layers) I want to have the (e.g.) top left corner of the layer. I have seen the Layer-Transform-Offset menu, but this gives an offset for the content into the leayer, while I need to set the offset of the layer into the image. I know It must be available somewhere, but I can't find it! :( Thanks for Your help! Mauro You can move with move tool with keyboard for higher precision. Choose layer with Page Up/Down key, press M and you can move chosen layer with arrows keys by 1 pixel, or by 10 pixels with arrows keys, while holding Shift button. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
