gint32
gimp_channel_new (gint32 image_ID,
                  const gchar *name,
                  guint width,

                  gdouble opacity,
                  const GimpRGB *color);

Create a new channel.

This procedure creates a new channel with the specified width and height. Name, opacity, and color are also supplied parameters. The new channel still needs to be added to the image, as this is not automatic. Add the new channel with the gimp_image_insert_channel() command. Other attributes such as channel show masked, should be set with explicit procedure calls. The channel's contents are undefined initially.

gimp_channel_new_from_component ()

gint32
gimp_channel_new_from_component (gint32 image_ID,
                                 GimpChannelType component,
                                 const gchar *name);

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

Since: 2.4

gimp_channel_copy ()

gint32
gimp_channel_copy (gint32 channel_ID);

Copy a channel.

This procedure copies the specified channel and returns the copy. The new channel still needs to be added to the image, as this is not automatic. Add the new channel with gimp_image_insert_channel().

gimp_channel_get_show_masked ()

gboolean
gimp_channel_get_show_masked (gint32 channel_ID);

Get the composite method of the specified channel.

This procedure returns the specified channel's composite method. If it is TRUE, then the channel is composited with the image so that masked regions are shown. Otherwise, selected regions are shown.

gimp_channel_set_show_masked ()

gboolean
gimp_channel_set_show_masked (gint32 channel_ID,
                              gboolean show_masked);

Set the composite method of the specified channel.

This procedure sets the specified channel's composite method. If it is TRUE, then the channel is composited with the image so that masked regions are shown. Otherwise, selected regions are shown.

gimp_channel_get_opacity ()

gdouble
gimp_channel_get_opacity (gint32 channel_ID);

Get the opacity of the specified channel.

This procedure returns the specified channel's opacity.

gimp_channel_set_opacity ()

gboolean
gimp_channel_set_opacity (gint32 channel_ID,
                          gdouble opacity);

Set the opacity of the specified channel.

This procedure sets the specified channel's opacity.

gimp_channel_get_color ()

gboolean
gimp_channel_get_color (gint32 channel_ID,
                        GimpRGB *color);

Get the compositing color of the specified channel.

This procedure returns the specified channel's compositing color.

gimp_channel_set_color ()

gboolean
gimp_channel_set_color (gint32 channel_ID,
                        const GimpRGB *color);

Set the compositing color of the specified channel.

This procedure sets the specified channel's compositing color.

gimp_channel_combine_masks ()

gboolean
gimp_channel_combine_masks (gint32 channel1_ID,
                            gint32 channel2_ID,
                            GimpChannelOps operation,
                            gint offx,
                            gint offy);

Combine two channel masks.

This procedure combines two channel masks. The result is stored in the first channel.
