Pattern coming out greyscale

granthobbs · **Joined:** Jun 30, 2014 **Posts:** 1

Hi, I'm new to scripting. I am trying to fill a pattern onto a new image, it seems to work ok except it always comes out as greyscale. Would anyone know why this is?

Thanks

(define (set-pattern-make text-pattern outfile)
(gimp-patterns-refresh)
(gimp-context-set-pattern text-pattern)
(define width 3600)
(define height 3600)
(define image (car (gimp-image-new width height RGB)))
(gimp-image-set-resolution image 300 300)
(gimp-drawable-fill image PATTERN-FILL)
(gimp-file-save RUN-NONINTERACTIVE image TRUE outfile outfile)
(gimp-image-delete image)
(gimp-quit TRUE))

Did you try going to Image > Mode > RGB ?

I'm slightly surprised it does that much.

From the procedure browser entry for gimp-image-new:

Quote:

Creates a new image, undisplayed with the specified extents and type. A layer should be created and added before this image is displayed, or subsequent calls to 'gimp-display-new' with this image as an argument will fail. Layers can be created using the 'gimp-layer-new' commands. They can be added to an image using the 'gimp-image-add-layer' command.

Then for gimp-drawable-fill: According to the procedure browser it takes a drawable as it's first parameter, but you are passing the image id, so you would need to have added a new drawable (layer) to fill?
