Channel.from_component

Create a new channel from a color component

This procedure creates a new channel from a color component.

The new channel still needs to be added to the image, as this is not automatic. Add the new channel with [ method@Gimp.Image.insert_channel].

Other attributes, such as channel visibility, should be set with explicit procedure calls.

Parameters:

image	The image to which to add the channel.
component	The image component.
name	The channel name.

Returns:

The newly created channel.
