)
Description [src]
Create a new layer.
This procedure creates a new text layer displaying the specified text. By
default the width and height of the layer will be determined by the text
contents, the fontname, size and unit.
The new layer still needs to be added to the image, as this is not automatic.
Add the new layer with the gimp_image_insert_layer() command. Other
attributes such as layer mask modes, and offsets should be set with explicit
procedure calls.
Available since: 3.0
