hello, I want to ask how to use the api to get the color from the screen with a pen.

hello, I want to ask how to use the api to get the color from the screen with a pen.

hello, I'm a beginner of GIMP. I'm developing a plug-in for GIMP. Now I'm facing a problem, that is, I want to pick a color for a picture and use it as an input to process the picture, but I don't know which api can fulfill my task. Can you help me? Thank you very much. By the way, is there any good advice for a beginner to quickly get into the stuff? Any efficient way to use the API reference? Thank you again.

You are looking for the procedure gimp-image-pick-color. You can see it's documentation here: http://developer.gimp.org/api/2.0/libgimp/libgimp-gimpimage.html#gimp-image-pick-color

You are probably looking for this page: http://developer.gimp.org/api/2.0/index.html Note that the top links in that page are the ones relevant for development of plugins. The bottom link (titled Gimp Application) is a documentation of the GIMP's core and is usually not relevant unless you want to contribute code to GIMP itself.

Good luck with your plugin =) LightningIsMyName
