unstable since: 3.2

Declaration [src]

GimpVectorLayer*
gimp_vector_layer_new (
  GimpImage* image,
  GimpPath* path
)

Description [src]

Creates a new vector layer.

This procedure creates a new path layer displaying the specified path. By default, the fill and stroke properties will be defined by the context.

The new layer still needs to be added to the image as this is not automatic. Add the new layer with the gimp_image_insert_layer() method.

The arguments are kept as simple as necessary for the basic case. All vector attributes, however, can be modified with the appropriate gimp_vector_layer_set_*() procedures.

Available since: 3.2
