GIMP Dynamic Text

Hi,

I'd like to use the below GIMP Dynamic Text with Gimp-Perl, but I cannot find any documentation on it.

Regards, Andrei

Is this: http://registry.gimp.org/plugin?id=337

That is a Gimp-1.2 plug-in and if you are using Gimp-2.x?, it will not work.

And there is other tool like GIMP Dynamic Text to work in Gimp 2.2? I need basically to wrap the text when the line is bigger than the size of the layer.

Thanks,

The new text tool will attempt to load GIMP Dynamic Text layers from your old XCF files. It also provides multiline text. What it doesn't provide yet, is the ability to specify a fixed layer width and have the text broken wrapped into that. That is however planned.

Since I seem not to get around to implement it, perhaps someone else wants to look into adding the missing pieces? Quite a bit of the required functionality is already there, since this feature has always been foreseen. What's missing is mostly the tool code. I haven't looked at this in detail, but I think it should be possible to add this by deriving the text tool from the new rectangle tool. If anyone is interested, let me know. I will then try to explain the text properties that exist for this purpose. I hope that the existing text infrastructure will be capable of handling this feature w/o any incompatible changes to the gimp-text parasite.

Hi,

Thanks for the update.

As long as it is not implemented yet, I'd like to use GIMP Dynamic Text.

Does anybody knows where I can find some documentation to use its Perl API?

Regards, Andrei
