I am unable to set brush size in script, whatever I set for size the script takes no notice and uses the default size, I desperately need Ideas

Code: Select all

(aset *newpoint* 0 (/ width 2))   ; set the paint array
   (aset *newpoint* 1 (/ height 2))
   (set! brush1-layer (car (gimp-layer-new image width height RGBA-IMAGE "brush1" 100 NORMAL-MODE)))
   (multi-brush-fill-include-layer image brush1-layer layer 0)   ;stack 0=above 1=below
   (gimp-context-set-brush (car brush1))
   **(gimp-context-set-brush-size size)**
   (gimp-paintbrush-default brush1-layer 2 *newpoint*)

No change with that proceedure and I set brush size just before the paint command

(gimp-context-set-brush-size size)
(gimp-paintbrush brush1-layer 0 2 *newpoint* 0 0))

Wilbur let me get away with this

Quote:

;;;;create the brush layers
(aset *newpoint* 0 (/ width 2)) ; set the paint array
(aset *newpoint* 1 (/ height 2))
(set! brush1-layer (car (gimp-layer-new image width height RGBA-IMAGE "brush1" 100 NORMAL-MODE)))
(multi-brush-fill-include-layer image brush1-layer layer 0) ;stack 0=above 1=below
(gimp-context-set-brush (car brush1))
(gimp-paintbrush-default brush1-layer 2 *newpoint*)
(gimp-layer-scale brush1-layer (* (/ width 100) max-size) (* (/ height 100) max-size) TRUE)
(gimp-layer-resize-to-image-size brush1-layer)

But I'd still like to know why brush-size did not work

Pack Sprites to shape? Cool.

I just had a feeling you would go somewhere with this new G'MIC script Graechan. Bravo!

Happy to hear you fixed the brush issue.

If there's real solution to brush size, I'm interested. I have one old script (for inking) which is very usable, but only way to change brush size is to select new brush. In earlier Gimp versions it worked with current brush size, but no more. So, if there's a real solution, I'm interested.

Currently I have done bunch of brushes just for different sizes, but it works well only on certain scale (600dpi) now...

This bugs me also. In my wacom I want to preserve brush size in stylus and one in erraser, and it's the same, that's frustrating. I liked that from gimp 2.6
