Help needed with proceedure My dilema today is-[Solved]

Wilbur tells me, Error: ( : 1) Invalid type for argument 13 to file-gih-save.
I have a Grayscale Image with 26 layers
I can export INTERACTIVE with same settings OK

(file-gih-save RUN-NONINTERACTIVE image
(car (gimp-image-get-active-layer image)) ;drawable
path ;filename [The name of the file to save the brush pipe in]
path ;raw-filename [The name of the file to save the brush pipe in]
100 ;spacing
font ;description
width ;cell-width
height ;cell-height
1 ;display-cols
1 ;display-rows
1 ;dimension
26 ;rank<----------------error points here
1 ;dimension
INCREMENTAL) ;sel

26 ;rank should have been (26) ;rank but now INCREMENTAL is incorrect

Shouldn't the data type for rank be an 8bit integer array (INT8ARRAY)?

Not sure the number of array elements expected by the procedure but shouldn't the syntax be something along the lines of ..

Code: Select all

(set! rank (cons-array 3 'byte))
   (aset rank 0 intvalue1)
   (aset rank 1 intvalue2)
   (aset rank 2 intvalue3)

In this example, rank is a vector with 3 elements assigned as intvalue1, intvalue2 & intvalue3.

GnuTux I think Your right, also do you think the 'sel' setting should be set along the same lines
and if so where would it differ as it asks for a 'STRINGARRAY'

That didn't work either, Wilbur dislikes me today. I'll try something else maybe SaulGoode knows the answer as it would be worth knowing
I've been trying for 2 days now

(file-gih-save RUN-NONINTERACTIVE

Actually, it does work. You can check it from the console...

> (set! rank (cons-array 1 'byte))
#(0)
> (aset rank 0 26)
#(26)

It returns the exact same value as using the vector function...

> (vector 26)
#(26)

Thank you SaulGoode, that did the trick. Thanks also to all who considered my problem
