Declaration [src]

GimpLinkLayer*
gimp_link_layer_new (
  GimpImage* image,
  GFile* file
)

Description [src]

Creates a new link layer.

This procedure creates a link layer monitoring the specified file.

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.

The arguments are kept as simple as necessary for the basic case. All link attributes, however, can be modified with the appropriate gimp_link_layer_set_*() procedures.

Available since: 3.2
