Channel

Create a new channel.

This procedure creates a new channel with the specified width, height, name, opacity and color.

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

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].

The channel's contents are undefined initially.

Parameters:

image	The image to which to add the channel.
name	The channel name.
width	The channel width.
height	The channel height.
opacity	The channel opacity.
color	The channel compositing color.

Returns:

The newly created channel.
