Declaration [src]
GimpGroupLayer*
gimp_group_layer_new (
GimpImage* image,
const gchar* name
)
Description [src]
Create a new group layer.
This procedure creates a new group layer with a given name. If
name is NULL, GIMP will choose a name using its default layer name algorithm.
The new group layer still needs to be added to the image, as this is
not automatic. Add the new layer with the
gimp_image_insert_layer() method.
Other attributes such as layer mask, modes and offsets should be set
with explicit procedure calls.
Other procedures useful with group layers:
gimp_image_reorder_item(), gimp_item_get_parent(),
gimp_item_get_children(), gimp_item_is_group().
Available since: 2.8
