PDB equivalence

A table of old PDB calls, and their equivalents in the GIMP 3.0+ world.

This document is a work in progress. Feel free to add to it.

Undo/Context

Removed function	Replacement
gimp_undo_push_group_start	image.undo_group_start()
gimp_undo_push_group_end	image.undo_group_end()
gimp.context_push()	Gimp.context_push()
gimp.context_push()	Gimp.context_push()
gimp_context_get_background	Gimp.context_get_background
gimp_context_set_background	Gimp.context_set_background

File load/save

Removed function	Replacement
gimp_file_load	Gimp.file_load
gimp_file_save	Gimp.file_save

Selection operations

Selection operations are now in the Gimp.Selection class (except a few in the Image class). E.g.

Removed function	Replacement
pdb.gimp_selection_invert(img)	Gimp.Selection.invert(img)
pdb.gimp_selection_none(img)	Gimp.Selection.none(img)
pdb.gimp_selection_layer_alpha(layer)	img.select_item(Gimp.ChannelOps.REPLACE, layer)
gimp_image_select_item	img.select_item(channel_op, layer)

Filling and Masks

Removed function	Replacement
Gimp.drawable_fill()	layer.fill()
pdb.gimp_edit_fill(FILL_BACKGROUND)	layer.edit_fill(Gimp.FillType.BACKGROUND)
gimp_layer_add_mask	layer.add_mask
gimp_layer_remove_mask	layer.remove_mask

Miscellaneous and Non-PDB Calls

Removed function	Replacement
gimp_displays_flush	Gimp.displays_flush
gimp_image_insert_layer	image.insert_layer

Plug-ins

Calling other plug-ins is trickier than before. The old

pdb.script_fu_drop_shadow(img, layer, -3, -3, blur,
                              (0, 0, 0), 80.0, False)

becomes

        c = Gegl.Color.new("black")
        c.set_rgba(0.94, 0.71, 0.27, 1.0)
        Gimp.get_pdb().run_procedure('script-fu-drop-shadow',
                                     [ Gimp.RunMode.NONINTERACTIVE,
                                       GObject.Value(Gimp.Image, img),
                                       GObject.Value(Gimp.Drawable, layer),
                                       GObject.Value(GObject.TYPE_DOUBLE, -3),
                                       GObject.Value(GObject.TYPE_DOUBLE, -3),
                                       GObject.Value(GObject.TYPE_DOUBLE,blur),
                                       c,
                                       GObject.Value(GObject.TYPE_DOUBLE, 80.0),
                                       GObject.Value(GObject.TYPE_BOOLEAN, False)
                                     ])
