Declaration [src]

gboolean
gimp_image_import_paths_from_string (
  GimpImage* image,
  const gchar* string,
  gint length,
  gboolean merge,
  gboolean scale,
  GimpPath*** paths
)

Description [src]

Import paths from an SVG string.

This procedure works like gimp_image_import_paths_from_file() but takes a string rather than reading the SVG from a file. This allows you to write scripts that generate SVG and feed it to GIMP.

Available since: 2.4

Parameters

string

Type: const gchar*

A string that must be a complete and valid SVG document.

The data is owned by the caller of the function.
The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.
length

Type: gint

Number of bytes in string or -1 if the string is NULL terminated.

merge

Type: gboolean

Merge paths into a single path object.

scale

Type: gboolean

Scale the SVG to image dimensions.

paths

Type: An array of GimpPath*

The list of newly created paths.

The argument will be set by the function.
The array must be NULL-terminated.
The instance takes ownership of the data container, but not the data inside it.

Return value

Type: gboolean

TRUE on success.
