Now text layers are proper types, which means that the binding API will also be
nicer (e.g. `txt_layer.set_text('hello world')` in Python).
This commit also adds the param specs allowing to create plug-in procedures with
text layer parameters.
Finally it fixes the few calls in file-pdf-save (apparently the only plug-in
using specific text layer API right now) with explicit type conversion.
Something I wanted to implement for a long time and today I finally took
the time after I had one more annoying case where I had to merge all
groups for exporting then undo for saving!
Now this won't be needed anymore as the plug-in will allow to export
only as pages any first-level layers (groups included, so you could
gather your page compositions in root layer groups). For me, it's the
only way I use this when making/editing PDFs with GIMP, but maybe some
people would still want GIMP to crawl into groups and subgroups and
export layers individually. That's why I make it an option, defaulting
at TRUE.
Note that I didn't port "file-pdf-save-multi" at this point, though I
did move to using GimpProcedureConfig instead of GimpValueArray
everywhere.
In any case, that's a lot of code removal and simplification already,
though some part of this plug-in is still a bit ugly.
We also get proper config storing between sessions now.
As for metadata, it unfortunately doesn't look like Exiv2 has PDF
support, so I didn't add metadata settings.
This is the consequence of previous commit. Plug-ins' label and
documentation are now localized before sending these data to GIMP core.
In other words, we replace N_() macros with basic gettext calls.
Hence avoiding the stderr messages. These are going to be localized with
centrally installed catalogs "gimp*-std-plugins", "gimp*-script-fu" and
"gimp*-python".
We now handle core plug-in localizations differently and in particular,
with kind of a reverse logic:
- We don't consider "gimp*-std-plugins" to be the default catalog
anymore. It made sense in the old world where we would consider the
core plug-ins to be the most important and numerous ones. But we want
to push a world where people are even more encouraged to develop their
own plug-ins. These won't use the standard catalog anymore (because
there are nearly no reasons that the strings are the same, it's only a
confusing logic). So let's explicitly set the standard catalogs with
DEFINE_STD_SET_I18N macro (which maps to a different catalog for
script-fu plug-ins).
- Doing something similar for Python plug-ins which have again their own
catalog.
- Getting rid of the INIT_I18N macro since now all the locale domain
binding is done automatically by libgimp when using the set_i18n()
method infrastructure.
While doing this cleanup, I found at least several other string leaks
in: file-compressor, file-gegl, file-pdf-save, file-raw-data, file-xwd,
jpeg-load, psd-save…
So it's quite worth it!
Note: in file-pdf-save, there is a global variable file_name which seems
to be happily leaked without caring (didn't look in details, but looks
so). I didn't fix this one which will require a bit more in-depth logics
care.
The gimp_drawable_type() is an issue though as gimp_drawable_get_type()
is already defined as a common GObject API.
Though I'm actually wondering if GimpImageType is well called. Rather
than Type, shouldn't we go with ColorModel?
sed -i 's/\<gimp_drawable_bpp\>/gimp_drawable_get_bpp/g' "$@"
sed -i 's/\<gimp_drawable_width\>/gimp_drawable_get_width/g' "$@"
sed -i 's/\<gimp_drawable_height\>/gimp_drawable_get_height/g' "$@"
sed -i 's/\<gimp_drawable_offsets\>/gimp_drawable_get_offsets/g' "$@"
s/gimp_image_base_type/gimp_image_get_base_type/
s/gimp_image_width/gimp_image_get_width/
s/gimp_image_height/gimp_image_get_height/
Sorry plug-in developers, more porting work! But really this seems like
the right thing to do in order not to get stuck with inconsistent naming
for many more years to come.
Subdivise progression steps inside layer groups.
It is not perfect yet as it would not handle perfectly weird edge cases
where you have for instance a lot of layers in a top layer group with
only many other top layers. But it would still handle it better than
before. Ideally we should simply count all non-group "leaf" layers in
the layer tree and use this as the number of steps. In other words, we
should do a first pass through the whole layer tree.
PDF exporting had no progression. In particular when exporting a PDF
with more a hundred pages today, it took maybe 20 secs without any
progression status, which is annoying.
Limitations:
1. When exporting as multi-images, we reset to 0 at each image. I am
actually not sure if this is the expected behavior.
2. I am updating the progression per top layer, not doing finer grained
progression steps. An extreme case would be a single top layer group
with many children layers inside. Yet I wanted to avoid too much
progression updates for the normal cases.
Color picking on a single layer still works as it used to. On multiple
layer, it will now pick on the composited color, similarly to sample
merged if only selected layers were made visible.
The PDB/libgimp function gimp_image_pick_color() is also updated to work
on multiple drawables too, giving the same ability to plug-ins (the only
call to this function in core plug-ins have been updated).
This commit just changes our saving API (i.e. the GimpSaveProcedure
class) to take an array of drawables as argument instead of a single
drawable.
It actually doesn't matter much for exporting as the whole API seems
more or less bogus there and all formats plug-ins mostly care only
whether they will merge/flatten all visible layers (the selected ones
don't really matter) or if the format supports layers of some sort. It
may be worth later strengthening a bit this whole logics, and maybe
allow partial exports for instance.
As for saving, it was not even looking at the passed GimpDrawable either
and was simply re-querying the active layer anyway.
Note that I don't implement the multi-selection saving in XCF yet in
this commit. I only updated the API. The reason is that the current
commit won't be backportable to gimp-2-10 because it is an API break. On
the other hand, the code to save multi-selection can still be backported
even though the save() API will only pass a single drawable (as I said
anyway, this argument was mostly bogus until now, hence it doesn't
matter much for 2.10 logics).
When the "Omit hidden layers and layers with zero opacity" option is
set, this property was only checked on non-group layers. So if we had
non-hidden layers inside hidden layer groups, they ended up exported,
which is not the expected behavior.
See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/issues/4425#note_675350
Adds a new PDF export option "Convert text layers to image", which
defaults to FALSE (because text staying text is obviously usually
prefered).
Also loop through text layers to detect missing fonts. In case any are
found, add a warning in the export dialog, below the new option,
advising to enable this option if design matters (if fonts are missing,
PangoCairo seems to select any other random font and embed it into the
PDF instead of the expected one).
And always pass URIs to all file procedures, the ones what didn't
register as "handles remove" will only ever get local file:// URIs.
Change all file plug-ins (also legacy ones) to expect URIs instead
of filenames, and convert to local paths in the plug-in.
The wire protocol should now be almost 100% clean of non-UTF-8 strings.
This improves commit bbd5ebbe8a. Several parameters did not need to go
inside draw_layer(). In particular this function should not take care of
filling return values on errors. It should just return a success boolean
with a GError which is processed on the main function. This also allows
proper shortcut to end the loop earlier on the first error.
Also the layer index parameter does not need to be a pointer since it
never requires updates.
Finally declare variables in smaller scopes for cleaner code.
Nothing said what was going to be the order of the page, except by
testing. Now there will be an explicit text, which will be automatically
updated when checking the "reverse order" box.
... only shows the color (and nothing else) when "Convert bitmaps to
vector graphics where possible" was set.
This is because gimp_drawable_histogram() only checks selected pixels.
So let's make sure we work on a duplicate of the image so that we can
safely remove the selection before processing the export.
(cherry picked from commit 679e341285)
Current comment was implying that PDF had some kind of fixed PPI, or
that a 72 PPI was hardcoded in cairo. This is not at all what this is
about. Cairo simply has a concept of user-space coordinates, and from
what I gather, it seems that this is set as "point", the typographical
unit of measure (not as a screen point). In such context, cairo_scale()
is used to update the transformation matrix (which will transform from
user to device units, i.e. pixels) so that we can draw with pixels. In
other words, both the user and device units will be pixels in subsequent
calls.
It turns out that 1 inch == 72 points. This is not a PPI/DPI at all and
the comment was completely misleading.
No need to loop through layers, which may be wrong anyway with
layers-as-pages. Also we were using the layer sizes without even
checking their offsets yet filling from (0, 0). This code was flawed in
many aspects.
Cairo doc is pretty clear about cairo_mask_surface():
> A drawing operator that paints the current source using the alpha
> channel of @surface as a mask
Therefore when creating a mask surface, it must be in one of
CAIRO_FORMAT_* with an alpha channel and the mask data must be copied
into this alpha channel. I chose CAIRO_FORMAT_A8 (a format with alpha
only) which I map to "Y u8" babl format in GEGL so that
gegl_buffer_copy() copies the contents of Y into A.
The `if` test was inverted. When the option is checked, we don't want to
add the GIMP_EXPORT_CAN_HANDLE_LAYER_MASKS capability so that
gimp_export_image() applies the mask.
This is a first step to fix bug 783528, but it's not finished. Right
now, when the option is unchecked, the mask is simply ignored. We want
to export a PDF mask instead.
And revert file-pdf-save to its previous signature before commit
d03de52. For compatibility reason, we can't change the signature of a
procedure available in previous stable releases.
Also revert file-pdf-save-multi for the same reason. I don't create a
file-pdf-save-multi2 though even though layers-as-pages could still be
meaningful there (creating a multi-page PDF from several multi-layers
images) but that's likely a special case which can be dealt with later.
Obviously the interactive export will use file-pdf-save2.
Otherwise default values are not taken into account in interactive mode.
In particular, we want ignore-hidden to be checked (TRUE) by default,
because this is the most obvious behavior (WYSIWYG).
Try to sort all GIMP_ICON_* defines into FDO categories like in
https://specifications.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/latest/ar01s04.html
Add defines for all icons we override, rename some icons to their FDO
standard names, and mark the ones we duplicate with a comment so we
don't forget to rename those to standard names in 3.0.
PDF files have no transparency, still, transparent areas of
exported images would always display white, regardless of the
current background color.
(The misbehavior was found while checking BUG #752819,
but that is a cairo issue and is not fixed by this)
Set the resolution of the PangoFontMap from which the
PangoContext is created, set cairo font options only
on the PangoContext, explicitely set wrap mode and
do not force a layout height.
