Hallo,
I cut coins out of a *.tif with an own written PythonFu plugin.
Nearly all works as expected, the coin cut out is saved as tif and looks what
it should be.
The picture save I let stay in Gimp and is rather strange:

See the -.-.- extra rectangle?
No way to remove it.

the relevant steps are:

Code: Select all

            gimp.message(str(counter) + "   " + file)
            image = pdb.file_tiff_load(file,file)
            display = gimp.Display(image)   #PKHG>??? nicht unbedingt noetig
            select_quadrat();fuzzyselect();all4(0,0)
            LZW = 1
            compression = LZW
            save_transp_pixels =  True
            file = newName(file)
            pdb.file_tiff_save2(image, image.layers[-1], file, file , compression, save_transp_pixels)
            gimp.message(file)
            #pdb.gimp_display_delete(display)
            #pdb.gimp_image_delete(image) 
    return

the do-er is all4 (its last lines are)

Code: Select all

    pdb.gimp_image_crop(image, width, height, links, oben)
    pdb.gimp_selection_none(image)
    pdb.gimp_item_transform_rotate_simple(image.layers[0],0, 1,0,0)
    return ("links rechts oben unten",links, rechts, oben, unten, width, height)

Do you know this behavior ? What to do to get rid of that extra rectangle in the Gimp widow itself???

I think this extra line should do it

pdb.gimp_item_transform_rotate_simple(image.layers[0],0, 1,0,0)
pdb.gimp_layer_resize_to_image_size(image.layers[0])
return ("links rechts oben unten",links, rechts, oben, unten, width, height)

This is just the indication of the boundary of your layer (which, as you can see, can extend outside the canvas). And your layer is wider than the canvas, because your image is higher than wide, so when you rotate the layer, its width, being the height of the image, is wider than the canvas.

Maye be you wanted to rotate the whole image (gimp_image_rotate()).

Both of you are right ... thanks, again a problem solved ;-)

Glad you worked it out.

You could also merge another transparent layer onto it, which is what I do when that happens.
