Python script

Dear list members,

I wrote a script that adds an outline to the text. The script works as I expected with on exception. When it finished, it removes all textual information and converts the text into graphics. Could anyone give me an advice how to modify the script in order to keep the textual information unchanged? The script itself below.

#!/usr/bin/env python # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

from gimpfu import *

def outline_text(image, outline_color, outline_thikness): active = pdb.gimp_image_get_active_drawable(image)

pdb.gimp_image_undo_group_start(image)
if not pdb.gimp_drawable_is_text_layer(active): pdb.gimp_message('Cannot proceed on non textual layer') pdb.gimp_image_undo_group_end(image) return

outline = pdb.gimp_vectors_new_from_text_layer(image, active) pdb.gimp_image_insert_vectors(image, outline , None, -1)

saved_fg_color = pdb.gimp_context_get_foreground()
pdb.gimp_context_set_foreground(outline_color) pdb.gimp_context_set_stroke_method(STROKE_LINE) pdb.gimp_context_set_line_width(float(outline_thikness)) pdb.gimp_drawable_edit_stroke_item(active, outline)
pdb.gimp_context_set_foreground(saved_fg_color)

pdb.gimp_image_undo_group_end(image)

register( "python_fu_outline_text",
"Adds an outline to a text", "Adds an outline to a text", "Alexander",
"Alexander",
"01.05.2018",
"Text outline",
"RGB* GRAY* INDEXED*",
[
(PF_IMAGE, "image", "Input image", None), (PF_COLOR, "outline_color", "Color", (255, 255, 255)), (PF_INT, "outline_thikness", ("Thickness"), "1"), ],
[],
outline_text, menu="/Illustration") main()

With kind regards,
Alexander

You are stroking the path onto the Text layer, which will convert it from text to raster. To keep the Test layer you will need to stroke the path onto a new layer.

The layer will fail to be a text layer after being changed by any tool or plug-in which is not the text tool. The text becomes just another painted layer.

Perhaps a different software will retain the textural information, but not GIMP.
