Help needed Stuck with path I cannot Stroke [solved]

Graechan · **Posted:** Mon Apr 23, 2012 9:54 pm **(#1)**

I have created a path using (plug-in-sel2path 1 image image-layer) but I cannot stoke it with (gimp-edit-stroke-vectors image-layer vectors)

there is no other paths displayed, and it is active. The name of the path is shown as selection,but that is all I know about it,I wanted to stroke a path instead of selection becouse it looks cleaner

Hoping someone has a rutine to 'change a selection to path and stroke it'

This is what I am working with

Quote:

;; define new brush for drawing operation
(gimp-brush-new brushName)
(gimp-brush-set-shape brushName BRUSH-GENERATED-CIRCLE)
(gimp-brush-set-spikes brushName 2)
(gimp-brush-set-hardness brushName 1.00)
(gimp-brush-set-aspect-ratio brushName 1.0)
(gimp-brush-set-angle brushName 0.0)
(gimp-brush-set-spacing brushName 1.0)
(gimp-brush-set-radius brushName outline)
(gimp-context-set-brush brushName)
(gimp-context-set-foreground brush-color)
(plug-in-sel2path 1 image image-layer)
(set! PathName (car (gimp-vectors-get-name vectors)))
(gimp-edit-stroke-vectors image-layer PathName)
;(gimp-edit-stroke image-layer);;stroke the selection
(gimp-selection-none image)
(gimp-brush-delete brushName)

I have only the path I created

Code: Select all

(gimp-edit-stroke-vectors image-layer PathName)

This is incorrect. The procedure is expecting the path's ID, not its name. Substitute your variable "vectors" for the variable "PathName".

Got it I hope?

Code: Select all

;; define new brush for drawing operation
            (gimp-brush-new brushName)
         (gimp-brush-set-shape brushName BRUSH-GENERATED-CIRCLE)    
            (gimp-brush-set-spikes brushName 2)
            (gimp-brush-set-hardness brushName 1.00)                   
            (gimp-brush-set-aspect-ratio brushName 1.0)
            (gimp-brush-set-angle brushName 0.0)                       
            (gimp-brush-set-spacing brushName 1.0)
            (gimp-brush-set-radius brushName outline)            
            (gimp-context-set-brush brushName)
            (gimp-context-set-foreground brush-color) 
            (plug-in-sel2path 1 image image-layer)
         (gimp-selection-none image)
         (set! vectors (car (gimp-image-get-active-vectors image)))
         (gimp-edit-stroke-vectors image-layer vectors)
         (gimp-brush-delete brushName)
            (gimp-image-remove-vectors image vectors)

Saulgoode I think this is what you mean
