Is there a way to have Multi-line text in a script-fu

JamesH · **Posted:** Thu Dec 01, 2011 12:02 am **(#2)**

Unicode for a carriage return is U + 2029, I don't know what the equivalent ascii code is for that (Alt + Numpad).

You can test this out if you have a script that requires text entries. Unicode only works in Linux, though.

I tested it out in the Shrek Text script.

'O' I found a good example of how to use in test sphere.scm and should work under any operating system.

instead of using

SF-STRING "Text" "Merry Xmas" to return Merry Xmas

use

SF-TEXT "Text" "Merry\nXmas" to return

Only change made everything else is the same

Way cool!

Works for me. The Unicode is faster though. Don't have to remember that string of text and I seriously doubt if I'll ever be writing any scripts.

Here is a 10 line test with nothing changed as before to check on bounding border and positioning.

Offtopic :

? Where do you find what these SF- mean? I'm attempting to learn scripting and I've ran across SF-ADJUSTMENT now I see SF-TEXT. Is there a list of these some where??

I looked in http://www.gimp.org/docs/scheme ... -fu-gimp.html and found this:

Code: Select all

(script-fu-register "script-fu-simple-drop-shadow"
                    _"<Image>/Script-Fu/Shadow/Drop-Shadow (simple)..."
                    "Add a simple drop-shadow of the alpha-channel"
                    "Simon Budig <[email protected]>"  ; author
                    "Simon Budig"                ; copyright holder
                    "2002/2/3"                   ; date
                    "RGBA GRAYA"                 ; image types
                    SF-IMAGE "Image" 0
                    SF-DRAWABLE "Drawable" 0
                    SF-ADJUSTMENT _"Offset X" '(8 -4096 4096 1 10 0 1)
                    SF-ADJUSTMENT _"Offset Y" '(8 -4096 4096 1 10 0 1)
                    SF-COLOR      _"Color" '(0 0 0)
                    SF-ADJUSTMENT _"Opacity" '(75 0 100 1 10 0 0))

Below it says:

You can specify SF-COLOR for colors, SF-TEXT for text and some other stuff.

Still can't find where all the SF-'s are!

Sorry this is off topic.

Try reading these

http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-using-script-fu-tutorial-first-script.html

http://developer.gimp.org/api/2.0/libgimp/libgimp-gimpenums.html

<Menu>Filters/Script-Fu/Test/Sphere

Could not find specific info on SF-TEXT yet but if you read the Test sphere script it will give some info at the top. I'm still looking for better discription, Why it's been overlooked till now I don't know.
