Post subject:  Script writer newbie
Hi everyone! I'm trying to learn how to write scripts and I'm going through the basics. I'm trying to create a simple "Slider" dialog that will create a New image. But when I'm trying to run it, it's giving me an error. Can any experience coder here explain what am I doing wrong?

"Error while executing script-fu-new-layer-white:
Error: eval: unbound variable: image"

This is what the script looks like:

Code: Select all
(define (script-fu-new-layer-white)
   (gimp-image-new 400 400 GRAY)
   (gimp-layer-new image 400 400 GRAY-IMAGE "New" 100 LAYER-MODE-NORMAL)
   (gimp-image-insert-layer image layer 0 0)
   (gimp-drawable-fill layer FILL-WHITE)
   (gimp-display-new image)
   
)   
   
(script-fu-register   
   "script-fu-new-layer-white"
   "<Image>/Files/Create/New layer"
   "Generates a New layer"
   "Pocholo"
   "Pocholo"
   "Feb 2020"
   ""
   SF-ADJUSTMENT "Layer Size (px)" '(400 1200 1 10 0 SF-SLIDER)

So you should really use Python instead. Much easier to learn.

This said, looking at your code, gimp-image-new and gimp-layer-new both return the id of the created image layer, so you have to keep these somewhere to be able to reuse them in the following function calls.

Hi Pocholo.

Did Ofnuts' comments help?
If not - see for example:
Code: Select all
(define (script-fu-new-layer-white size)

   (let*(
       (image (car (gimp-image-new size size GRAY)))
       (test (car (gimp-layer-new image size size GRAY-IMAGE "New" 100 LAYER-MODE-NORMAL)))
         )
   (gimp-image-insert-layer image test 0 0)
   (gimp-drawable-fill test FILL-WHITE)
   (gimp-display-new image)
    )
)
(script-fu-register
   "script-fu-new-layer-white"
   "<Image>/File/Create/New layer..."
   "Generates a New layer"
   "Pocholo"
   "Pocholo"
   "Feb 2020"
   ""
   SF-ADJUSTMENT "Layer Size (px)" '(400 1 1200 1 10 0 SF-SLIDER)


And three more comments:
1. If you enter the selection parameter (SF-ADJUSTMENT) must be defined.
2. SF-ADJUSTMENT "Layer Size (px)" '(400 1200 1 10 0 SF-SLIDER) requires 7 arguments (not 6)
3. Location on the menu is probably:
"<Image>/File/Create/New layer..." (not Files)

Python basics are probably easier to learn (and only this has a future...)
Good luck in Your studies :jumpclap
