Rasterize a text layer with GIMP Python or Script-Fu

Hi everyone,

I have looked at the docs, even checked the source code, to find the magic libgimp call (http://developer.gimp.org/api/2.0/libgimp/) that will allow me to do programmatically what the UI text layer option "Discard Text Information" is doing, but without much success.

How do I achieve that (https://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-layer-text-discard.html) from libgimp or gimp python (maybe script-fu)?

Thanks in advance, Lucian

Merge it to a transparent layer... But why do you want to do that? If you do something pixellish to the layer it will be done automatically, otherwise keeping the text information can be useful.

It will be useful to use libgimp/gimp to generate images programmatically from templates: change text, apply effects, rasterize/save it.

Thanks
