Enabling plugins to get the user to click a point on the image.

Manuel pointed out, The gimp currently lacks any way for a plugin to get a coordinate from the image (eg. click on the 'seed' pixel). I've often wanted to do this, and it is a bit awkward without it. Has implementing this been avoided, or is it just an oversight?

Some example usages: * Color mixer: click on any number of pixels then press ENTER to set FGcolor to a mix of all those colors. * Zone selector: click on a zone to select it * Word balloon creation (see a recent post on gimp-user) -- click a series of 5 points to draw a word balloon (size, point shape and location)

It doesn't seem to fit into the current architecture.

Hi David:

If you do not need it in real time, that is, if picking a point and only then caling a plug-in suits your needs, one can use paths.

I have a couple of python-fu scripts myself that pick coordinates from the first, or first two nodes on the active path, and it is quite usefull.
