                                             gdouble *strokes);

Paint in the current brush with varying pressure. Paint application is time-dependent.

This tool simulates the use of an airbrush. Paint pressure represents the relative intensity of the paint application. High pressure results in a thicker layer of paint while low pressure results in a thinner layer.

`drawable_ID` :	The affected drawable.
`pressure` :	The pressure of the airbrush strokes.
`num_strokes` :	Number of stroke control points (count each coordinate as 2 points).
`strokes` :	Array of stroke coordinates: { s1.x, s1.y, s2.x, s2.y, ..., sn.x, sn.y }.
Returns :	TRUE on success.

`x1` :	The x coordinate of this blend's starting point.
`y1` :	The y coordinate of this blend's starting point.
`x2` :	The x coordinate of this blend's ending point.
`y2` :	The y coordinate of this blend's ending point.
Returns :	TRUE on success.

gimp_bucket_fill ()

gboolean    gimp_bucket_fill                (gint32 drawable_ID,
                                             GimpBucketFillMode fill_mode,
                                             GimpLayerModeEffects paint_mode,
                                             gdouble opacity,
                                             gdouble threshold,
                                             gboolean sample_merged,
                                             gdouble x,
                                             gdouble y);

Fill the area specified either by the current selection if there is one, or by a seed fill starting at the specified coordinates.

This tool requires information on the paint application mode, and the fill mode, which can either be in the foreground color, or in the currently active pattern. If there is no selection, a seed fill is executed at the specified coordinates and extends outward in keeping with the threshold parameter. If there is a selection in the target image, the threshold, sample merged, x, and y arguments are unused. If the sample_merged parameter is non-zero, the data of the composite image will be used instead of that for the specified drawable. This is equivalent to sampling for colors after merging all visible layers. In the case of merged sampling, the x,y coordinates are relative to the image's origin; otherwise, they are relative to the drawable's origin.

`drawable_ID` :	The affected drawable.
`fill_mode` :	The type of fill.
`paint_mode` :	The paint application mode.
`opacity` :	The opacity of the final bucket fill.
`threshold` :	The threshold determines how extensive the seed fill will be. It's value is specified in terms of intensity levels . This parameter is only valid when there is no selection in the specified image.
`sample_merged` :	Use the composite image, not the drawable.
`x` :	The x coordinate of this bucket fill's application. This parameter is only valid when there is no selection in the specified image.
`y` :	The y coordinate of this bucket fill's application. This parameter is only valid when there is no selection in the specified image.
Returns :	TRUE on success.

gimp_by_color_select ()

                                             guchar red,
                                             guchar green,
                                             guchar blue,
                                             gint threshold,
                                             GimpChannelOps operation,
                                             gboolean antialias,
                                             gboolean feather,
                                             gdouble feather_radius,
                                             gboolean sample_merged);

Create a selection by selecting all pixels (in the specified drawable) with the same (or similar) color to that specified.

This tool creates a selection over the specified image. A by-color selection is determined by the supplied color under the constraints of the specified threshold. Essentially, all pixels (in the drawable) that have color sufficiently close to the specified color (as determined by the threshold value) are included in the selection. The antialiasing parameter allows the final selection mask to contain intermediate values based on close misses to the threshold bar. Feathering can be enabled optionally and is controlled with the \"feather_radius\" parameter. If the sample_merged parameter is non-zero, the data of the composite image will be used instead of that for the specified drawable. This is equivalent to sampling for colors after merging all visible layers. In the case of a merged sampling, the supplied drawable is ignored.

`drawable_ID` :	The affected drawable.
`red` :
`green` :
`blue` :	The color to select.
`threshold` :	Threshold in intensity levels %`desc`%%.
`operation` :	The selection operation.
`antialias` :	Antialiasing.
`feather` :	Feather option for selections.
`feather_radius` :	Radius for feather operation.
`sample_merged` :	Use the composite image, not the drawable.
Returns :	TRUE on success.

                                             gint32 src_drawable_ID,
                                             GimpCloneType clone_type,
                                             gdouble src_x,
                                             gdouble src_y,
                                             gint num_strokes,
                                             gdouble *strokes);

Clone from the source to the dest drawable using the current brush

This tool clones (copies) from the source drawable starting at the specified source coordinates to the dest drawable. If the \"clone_type\" argument is set to PATTERN-CLONE, then the current pattern is used as the source and the \"src_drawable\" argument is ignored. Pattern cloning assumes a tileable pattern and mods the sum of the src coordinates and subsequent stroke offsets with the width and height of the pattern. For image cloning, if the sum of the src coordinates and subsequent stroke offsets exceeds the extents of the src drawable, then no paint is transferred. The clone tool is capable of transforming between any image types including RGB->Indexed--although converting from any type to indexed is significantly slower.

`drawable_ID` :	The affected drawable.
`src_drawable_ID` :	The source drawable.
`clone_type` :	The type of clone.
`src_x` :	The x coordinate in the source image.
`src_y` :	The y coordinate in the source image.
`num_strokes` :	Number of stroke control points (count each coordinate as 2 points).
`strokes` :	Array of stroke coordinates: { s1.x, s1.y, s2.x, s2.y, ..., sn.x, sn.y }.
Returns :	TRUE on success.

                                             gint num_strokes,
                                             gdouble *strokes);

Clone from the source to the dest drawable using the current brush

This tool clones (copies) from the source drawable starting at the specified source coordinates to the dest drawable. This function performs exactly the same as the gimp_clone function except that the tools arguments are obtained from the clones option dialog. It this dialog has not been activated then the dialogs default values will be used.

`drawable_ID` :	The affected drawable.
`num_strokes` :	Number of stroke control points (count each coordinate as 2 points).
`strokes` :	Array of stroke coordinates: { s1.x, s1.y, s2.x, s2.y, ..., sn.x, sn.y }.

                                             gdouble x,
                                             gdouble y,
                                             gboolean sample_merged,
                                             gboolean sample_average,
                                             gdouble average_radius,
                                             gboolean save_color,
                                             guchar *red,
                                             guchar *green,
                                             guchar *blue);

Determine the color at the given drawable coordinates

This tool determines the color at the specified coordinates. The returned color is an RGB triplet even for grayscale and indexed drawables. If the coordinates lie outside of the extents of the specified drawable, then an error is returned. If the drawable has an alpha channel, the algorithm examines the alpha value of the drawable at the coordinates. If the alpha value is completely transparent (0), then an error is returned. If the sample_merged parameter is non-zero, the data of the composite image will be used instead of that for the specified drawable. This is equivalent to sampling for colors after merging all visible layers. In the case of a merged sampling, the supplied drawable is ignored.

`image_ID` :	The image.
`drawable_ID` :	The affected drawable.
`x` :	x coordinate of upper-left corner of rectangle.
`y` :	y coordinate of upper-left corner of rectangle.
`sample_merged` :	Use the composite image, not the drawable.
`sample_average` :	Average the color of all the pixels in a specified radius.
`average_radius` :	The radius of pixels to average.
`save_color` :	Save the color to the active palette.
`red` :
`green` :
`blue` :	The return color.
Returns :	TRUE on success.

                                             gdouble *strokes);

Convolve (Blur, Sharpen) using the current brush.

This tool convolves the specified drawable with either a sharpening or blurring kernel. This function performs exactly the same as the gimp_convolve function except that the tools arguments are obtained from the convolve option dialog.

Crop the image to the specified extents.

This procedure crops the image so that it's new width and height are equal to the supplied parameters. Offsets are also provided which describe the position of the previous image's content. All channels and layers within the image are cropped to the new image extents; this includes the image selection mask. If any parameters are out of range, an error is returned.

`image_ID` :	The image.
`new_width` :	New image width: (0 < new_width <= width).
`new_height` :	New image height: (0 < new_height <= height).

Create a polygonal selection over the specified image.

This tool creates a polygonal selection over the specified image. The polygonal region can be either added to, subtracted from, or replace the contents of the previous selection mask. The polygon is specified through an array of floating point numbers and its length. The length of array must be 2n, where n is the number of points. Each point is defined by 2 floating point values which correspond to the x and y coordinates. If the final point does not connect to the starting point, a connecting segment is automatically added.

Create a fuzzy selection starting at the specified coordinates on the specified drawable.

This tool creates a fuzzy selection over the specified image. A fuzzy selection is determined by a seed fill under the constraints of the specified threshold. Essentially, the color at the specified coordinates (in the drawable) is measured and the selection expands outwards from that point to any adjacent pixels which are not significantly different (as determined by the threshold value). This process continues until no more expansion is possible. The antialiasing parameter allows the final selection mask to contain intermediate values based on close misses to the threshold bar at pixels along the seed fill boundary. Feathering can be enabled optionally and is controlled with the \"feather_radius\" paramter. If the sample_merged parameter is non-zero, the data of the composite image will be used instead of that for the specified drawable. This is equivalent to sampling for colors after merging all visible layers. In the case of a merged sampling, the supplied drawable is ignored. If the sample is merged, the specified coordinates are relative to the image origin; otherwise, they are relative to the drawable's origin.

`drawable_ID` :	The affected drawable.
`x` :	x coordinate of initial seed fill point: (image coordinates).
`y` :	y coordinate of initial seed fill point: (image coordinates).
`threshold` :	Threshold in intensity levels %`desc`%%.
`operation` :	The selection operation.
`antialias` :	Antialiasing.
`feather` :	Feather option for selections.
`feather_radius` :	Radius for feather operation.
`sample_merged` :	Use the composite image, not the drawable.
Returns :	TRUE on success.

Paint in the current brush with optional fade out parameter and pull colors from a gradient.

This tool is the standard paintbrush. It draws linearly interpolated lines through the specified stroke coordinates. It operates on the specified drawable in the foreground color with the active brush. The \"fade_out\" parameter is measured in pixels and allows the brush stroke to linearly fall off. The pressure is set to the maximum at the beginning of the stroke. As the distance of the stroke nears the fade_out value, the pressure will approach zero. The gradient_length is the distance to spread the gradient over. It is measured in pixels. If the gradient_length is 0, no gradient is used.

Perform a possibly non-affine transformation on the specified drawable.

This tool performs a possibly non-affine transformation on the specified drawable by allowing the corners of the original bounding box to be arbitrarily remapped to any values. The specified drawable is remapped if no selection exists. However, if a selection exists, the portion of the drawable which lies under the selection is cut from the drawable and made into a floating selection which is then remapped as specified. The interpolation parameter can be set to TRUE to indicate that either linear or cubic interpolation should be used to smooth the resulting remapped drawable. The return value is the ID of the remapped drawable. If there was no selection, this will be equal to the drawable ID supplied as input. Otherwise, this will be the newly created and remapped drawable. The 4 coordinates specify the new locations of each corner of the original bounding box. By specifying these values, any affine transformation (rotation, scaling, translation) can be affected. Additionally, these values can be specified such that the resulting transformed drawable will appear to have been projected via a perspective transform.
