Description [src]
Create a new layer by copying an existing drawable.
This procedure creates a new layer as a copy of the specified
drawable. 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() command. Other attributes such as layer
mask modes, and offsets should be set with explicit procedure calls.
