Hi,

I have a plugin which uses lots of functions which are deprecated now. Since the macro GIMP_DEPRECATED_FOR suggests functions with totally different parameters
GIMP_DEPRECATED_FOR(gimp_drawable_get_buffer) void gimp_pixel_rgn_init (GimpPixelRgn *pr, GimpDrawable *drawable, gint x, gint y, gint width, gint height, gint dirty, gint shadow);

(gimp_drawable_get_buffer has a single drawable_ID parameter only)

is there a recipe how to translate the old calls into the current function calls?

Hi,

first of all, there should clearly be a guide for porting GimpDrawable/GimpPixelRgn code to GeglBuffer.

gimp_drawable_get_buffer() or gimp_drawable_get_shadow_buffer() are the right replacement APIs here. What to do further depends on what you do next with the pixel region. Look at the GIMP_DEPRECATED_FOR() above the remaining pixel region functions to figure how to proceed with the buffer.

The GEGL API is documented at http://www.gegl.org/api.html

Maybe you can write up a tutorial about how you ported your plug-in :)
