Description

Functions for operating on pixel regions. These functions provide fast ways of accessing and modifying portions of a drawable.

Functions

gimp_pixel_rgn_init ()

void
gimp_pixel_rgn_init (GimpPixelRgn *pr,
                     GimpDrawable *drawable,
                     gint x,
                     gint y,
                     gint width,
                     gint height,
                     gint dirty,
                     gint shadow);

gimp_pixel_rgn_init is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

Initialize the pixel region pointed by pr with the specified parameters.

The dirty and shadow flags can be used as follows:

dirty = FALSE, shadow = FALSE: the region will be used to read the actual drawable datas. This is useful for save plug-ins or for filters.
dirty = FALSE, shadow = TRUE: the region will be used to read the shadow tiles. This is used in some filter plug-ins which operate in two passes such as gaussian blur. The first pass reads the actual drawable data and writes to the shadow tiles, and the second one reads from and writes to the shadow tiles.
dirty = TRUE, shadow = TRUE: the region will be used to write to the shadow tiles. It is common practice to write to the shadow tiles and then use gimp_drawable_merge_shadow() to merge the changes from the shadow tiles using the current selection as a mask.
dirty = TRUE, shadow = FALSE: the region will be used to directly change the drawable content. Don't do this, since this could prevent the Undo-System from working as expected.

Parameters

pr	a pointer to a GimpPixelRgn variable.
drawable	the GimpDrawable the new region will be attached to.
x	the x coordinate of the top-left pixel of the region in the `drawable` .
y	the y coordinate of the top-left pixel of the region in the `drawable` .
width	the width of the region.
height	the height of the region.
dirty	a gboolean indicating whether the `drawable` should be marked as "dirty".
shadow	a gboolean indicating whether the region is attached to the shadow tiles or the real `drawable` tiles.

gimp_pixel_rgns_register ()

gpointer

gimp_pixel_rgns_register is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

This is the varargs version of gimp_pixel_rgns_register2.

Parameters

nrgns	the number of regions to register.
...	`nrgns` pointers to GimpPixelRgn.

Returns

a gpointer to a regions iterator.

gimp_pixel_rgns_register2 ()

gpointer
gimp_pixel_rgns_register2 (gint nrgns,
                           GimpPixelRgn **prs);

gimp_pixel_rgns_register2 is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

It takes a number of initialized regions of the same size and provides a pixel region iterator the iterator can be used to iterate over the registered pixel regions. While iterating the registered pixel regions will cover subsets of the original pixel regions, chosen for optimized access to the image data.

Note that the given regions themselves are changed by this function, so they are resized to the first subsets.

This function has to be used together with gimp_pixel_rgns_process in a loop.

Parameters

nrgns	the number of regions to register.
prs	an array of `nrgns` pointers to initialized GimpPixelRgn.

Returns

a gpointer to a regions iterator.

gimp_pixel_rgns_process ()

gpointer
gimp_pixel_rgns_process (gpointer pri_ptr);

gimp_pixel_rgns_process is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

This function update the regions registered previously with one of the gimp_pixel_rgns_register* functions to their next tile.

Parameters

pri_ptr

a regions iterator returned by gimp_pixel_rgns_register, gimp_pixel_rgns_register2 or gimp_pixel_rgns_process.

Returns

a gpointer to a new regions iterator or NULL if there isn't any tiles left.
