Description [src]

Create a new layer from a %GdkPixbuf.

This procedure creates a new layer from the given %GdkPixbuf. The image has to be an RGB image and just like with gimp_layer_new() you will still need to add the layer to it.

If you pass progress_end > progress_start to this function, gimp_progress_update() will be called for. You have to call gimp_progress_init() beforehand then.
