=head1 NAME

 Gimp::Util - some handy routines for Gimp-Perl users

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 use Gimp;
 use Gimp::Util;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Gimp-Perl is nice, but when you have to write everytime 10 lines just to
get some simple functions done, it very quickly becomes tedious :-/

This module tries to define some functions that aim to automate frequently
used tasks, i.e. its a sort of catch-all-bag for (possibly) useful macro
functions.  If you want to add a function just mail the author of the
Gimp-Perl extension (see below).

In Gimp-Perl (but not in Gimp as seen by the enduser) it is possible to
have layers that are NOT attached to an image. This is, IMHO a bad idea,
you end up with them and the user cannot see them or delete them. So we
always attach our created layers to an image here, too avoid memory leaks
and debugging times.

These functions try to preserve the current settings like colors, but not
all do.

These functions can also be handled in exactly the same way as
PDB-Functions, i.e. the (hypothetical) function C<gimp_image_xyzzy> can be
called as $image->xyzzy, if the module is available.

The need to explicitly C<use Gimp::Util> will go away in the future.

=item C<get_state ()>, C<set_state state>

C<get_state> returns a scalar representing most of gimps global state
(at the moment foreground colour, background colour, active gradient,
pattern and brush). The state can later be restored by a call to
C<set_state>. This is ideal for library functions such as the ones used
here, at least when it includes more state in the future.

    Palette->get_foreground,

=item C<gimp_image_layertype $alpha>

BG_IMAGE_FILL). If $alpha is non-zero (default 1), the new layer has
alpha.
