Description [src]
Create a new layer.
This procedure creates a new layer with the specified width,
height and type. If name is NULL, a default layer name will be
used. opacity and mode are also supplied parameters.
The new 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.
