AIMS: Am I Missing Something?
I'm a systems programmer new to GIMP code, so it's quite possible that I'm missing something obvious because I zipped along thinking I knew all I needed to know. I've written a plugin to do a simple transformation but currently the user must select a region with the poly select tool to define the transformation before calling the plugin. I'd much rather the user select the polygon from within the plugin, but I cannot for love nor money figure out how to do anything UI related from within a plugin! If this is by design, I'm curious to know why. If there is a way to select points from within a plugin I'd love to see how it's done!
I just feel it's more seemly to allow the user to define a transformation and have it apply only to a selection, as for the other image transformations and filters generally.
I appreciate anyone's attention to my little problem
Cheers
