Layer.from_drawable


Description:

[ CCode ( has_construct_function = false ) ]
public Layer.from_drawable (Drawable drawable, Image dest_image)

Create a new layer by copying an existing drawable.

This procedure creates a new layer as a copy of the specified drawable.

The new layer still needs to be added to the image as this is not automatic. Add the new layer with the [method@Image.insert_layer] method.

Other attributes such as layer mask and offsets should be set with explicit procedure calls.

Parameters:

drawable

The source drawable from where the new layer is copied.

dest_image

The destination image to which to add the layer.

Returns:

The newly copied layer.
