Hi.
Is there a callable native gimp function (or a script/plug-in) able to detect whether a pixel (identified by the coordinates x1,y1) is inside or outside the active user selection?
This would be the optimum solution, otherwise, at least:
- is it possible to know the extreme (lowest, highest) x and y of the active user selection?
Thanks

edit: the second possibility is inside Gimp PDB: gimp-selection-bounds
so the help request remains only for the "inside/outside"...

(vector-ref (cadr (gimp-drawable-get-pixel (car (gimp-image-get-selection image)) x y)) 0)

The above will evaluate to how much the pixel at x,y is selected. 0 means it is unselected and 255 means it is fully selected.

Many thanks, Saulgoode!
