On Fr, 24.03.2006, I had written:
Is it possible to paste a copied portion of an image to another place
in that same image by scripting, e.g. the topleft quarter to the
topright quarter?
The paste command always places the copied part of an image at the
center of the image as in the following script, so what kind of
parameters should be added?:
(snip)
As usual, the solution is probably quite simple, but I cannot find any
relevant information how to to this in the docs.
As a workaround, one could use a succession of snapshots and the
deleting of the interim images, but I think there must be an easier
way using paste, drag, move etc.
Any suggestions are welcome!
The lack of responses to this question probably implies that the answer
is definitely "no" and at the same time points to the level of urgency
of my information request, which is indeed something very much like a
side-issue.
It is possible to paste part of an image - using "choose select tool",
"drag from x,y to x2,y,2", "copy", and "paste" with an appropriate
script - as a *new image* to the center of the screen, which then can be
dragged like any other object to a specific loc. However to "combine"
(not a keyword) the layers of the two images is then only possible with
a snapshot and deleting the last two images underneath.
Pasting a selection into the image itself - this was my question -
always results in the copied selection being put at the loc of the image
- and what is important here - without any possibility to move the
pasted selection anywhere else as it has become an *integrated* part of
the image.
You could of course again select the pasted part - after having done
your math - with the select tool and drag it elsewhere by script, but
that would leave the area of the image from where the selection was
drawn as "blank".
The engine apparently knows how to place selections of an image to a
specific location; each time it has to compute the point where to paste:
either the screenloc or the center of the image into which the selection
should be put.
Therefore it must be relatively easy to add a new feature for pasting
image selections using a syntax like "paste at x,y".
I will submit an enhancement request.
