Problem:<\/strong> In experimenting with GIMP’s Script-Fu console, I could not figure out what values to feed in to scriptfu-rounded-corners (you know, to see what would happen) for image and drawable.\u00a0 It was surprisingly simple though.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Image ID: The image ID to use is displayed in the image window’s titlebar.\u00a0 For example in “DianeLatest.jpg-4.0<\/strong>” the 4 is the image id.\u00a0 The zero after the dot is the view id. (Might be useful to know, but I don’t know where you’d use it.)<\/p>\n

Drawable: For simplicity’s sake when I was testing I just took the active drawable for the image, which you can get from (car (gimp-image-get-active-drawable [IMAGEID]) where the [IMAGEID] is replaced by the number you have for the image.<\/p>\n

Example:<\/strong> (script-fu-round-corners 1 (car (gimp-image-get-active-drawable 1)) 30 1 6 6 20 1 0)<\/p>\n

This adds uses script-fu to add rounded corners, a drop-shadow, and a background layer to the active drawable (usually a layer) of image #1.\u00a0 [Details: Corners have a radius of 30, shadow is offset 6 pixels to the right and 6 pixels down.\u00a0 Shadow is blurred by 20 pixels.] (The color of the background layer appears to be taken from the currently active background color.)<\/p>\n

Notes:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The procedure browser shows a run-mode parameter for script-fu functions.\u00a0 Don’t provide it, GIMP does that for you.<\/li>\n
  2. The (car …) function is required because the drawable parameter is expecting a number, but scheme functions return lists, so car is used to grab the first item from the list produced by gimp-image-get-active-drawable.<\/li>\n
  3. More specific to rounding corners this way: If you just want to round the corners of an image and have a transparent background, make sure there’s an alpha channel on the layer.\u00a0 You can tell because it’s layer-name will be in bold if it does not have one.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Here’s the result of the command I used as an example:<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
