Function

Gimpedit_copy

Declaration [src]

gboolean
gimp_edit_copy (
  gint num_drawables,
  const GimpItem** drawables
)

Description [src]

Copy from the specified drawables.

If there is a selection in the image, then the area specified by the selection is copied from the specified drawables and placed in an internal GIMP edit buffer. It can subsequently be retrieved using the gimp_edit_paste() command. If there is no selection, then the specified drawables’ contents will be stored in the internal GIMP edit buffer. This procedure will fail if the selected area lies completely outside the bounds of the current drawables and there is nothing to copy from. All the drawables must belong to the same image.

Parameters

num_drawables

Type: gint

drawables

Type: An array of None

Drawables to copy from.

The length of the array is specified in the num_drawables argument.

The data is owned by the caller of the function.

Return value

Type: gboolean

TRUE if the cut was successful, FALSE if there was nothing to copy from.
