multi-line text control

I'm using a windows version of Gimp, 2.2.1.3. I notice I don't have the capability for multiline text, which I believe is provided by the gdyntext plug in. I've been unable to find a windows version of this plug in, and cannot build it from source using MS C++. Would anyone know where to turn for this?

wow, i haven't heard anyone mention gdynatext in a really long while.

i would be curious what the error message is if you tried to build this as you have described here.

i think that the new texttool accepts an enter to create individual lines with. there are also some buttons that allow you align the text horizontally.

more current is the freetype plug-in. but the way gimp developers use the word 'current' -- if taken like the velocity of a stream, many of the developers have confused a lake with a stream.

I brought up my version of Gimp (2.2.13), and used the regular text widget. If you press Enter while you're editing the text, it automatically expands the text that will be dropped onto the canvas. Keep in mind that I left the dialog displayed while I was typing the text (after having clicked on the text tool itself.

Quoting Tony Freeman:

One last thing that I cannot figure out is: how do you close the dialog box that the image is sitting in? In Scheme you do it like so:

(gimp-display-delete Image)

I've tried the following (with variations), but it causes the python-fu to hang:

pdb.gimp_display_delete(img)

To the best of my knowledge, it is impossible for a script to close the display unless it was created through PDB calls (i.e., you cannot delete an image created or opened by the user).

The PDB function, 'gimp-image-delete', only works with images that have been created through the PDB. Since the call to 'gimp-display-delete' will attempt to delete the image if the display you are deleting is the only one associated with the image, you end up effectively violating the conditions of 'gimp-image-delete'.
