Discard text information.

Hello

In the Layer menu, there is an item called "Discard text information". What options do I have for turning text layers into non-text ones in a script? gimp_image_merge_down() works, but it does other things I don't really need. Is there another option? Thanks.

Looks like we are missing a PDB way of doing it.

One thing to do is to "scale" the layer into itself - in Python you can call, for example:

dr.transform_scale(dr.offsets[0],dr.offsets[1],dr.offsets[0] + dr.width, dr.offsets[1] + dr.height,0,1,0,1,1)

("dr" being your layer, of course)

Thank you. I've realised that not being able to turn text layers into non-text ones wasn't actually the cause of my problem. It was actually a gimp_layer_new() call I used.

Some functions have "range" parameters which run from 0 to 255. Others have parameters which run from 0 to 1. The "opacity" parameter runs from 0 to 100. At least I know now.

Thank you for your suggestion, though.
