gimp_progress_init ()

gboolean            gimp_progress_init                  (const gchar *message);

Initializes the progress bar for the current plug-in.

Initializes the progress bar for the current plug-in. It is only valid to call this procedure from a plug-in.

message :

Message to use in the progress dialog.

Returns :

TRUE on success.

gimp_progress_init_printf ()

gboolean            gimp_progress_init_printf           (const gchar *format,
                                                         ...);

Initializes the progress bar for the current plug-in.

Initializes the progress bar for the current plug-in. It is only valid to call this procedure from a plug-in.

format :

a standard printf() format string

... :

arguments for format

Returns :

TRUE on success.

Since GIMP 2.4


gimp_progress_update ()

gboolean            gimp_progress_update                (gdouble percentage);

Updates the progress bar for the current plug-in.

percentage :

Percentage of progress completed (in the range from 0.0 to 1.0).

Returns :

TRUE on success.

gimp_progress_pulse ()

gboolean            gimp_progress_pulse                 (void);

Pulses the progress bar for the current plug-in.

Updates the progress bar for the current plug-in. It is only valid to call this procedure from a plug-in. Use this function instead of gimp_progress_update() if you cannot tell how much progress has been made. This usually causes the the progress bar to enter \"activity mode\", where a block bounces back and forth.

Returns :

TRUE on success.

Since GIMP 2.4


gimp_progress_set_text ()

gboolean            gimp_progress_set_text              (const gchar *message);

Changes the text in the progress bar for the current plug-in.

This function allows to change the text in the progress bar for the current plug-in. Unlike gimp_progress_init() it does not change the displayed value.

message :

Message to use in the progress dialog.

Returns :

TRUE on success.

Since GIMP 2.4


gimp_progress_set_text_printf ()

gboolean            gimp_progress_set_text_printf       (const gchar *format,
                                                         ...);

Changes the text in the progress bar for the current plug-in.

This function allows to change the text in the progress bar for the current plug-in. Unlike gimp_progress_init() it does not change the displayed value.

format :

a standard printf() format string

... :

arguments for format

Returns :

TRUE on success.

Since GIMP 2.4


gimp_progress_end ()

gboolean            gimp_progress_end                   (void);

Ends the progress bar for the current plug-in.

Ends the progress display for the current plug-in. Most plug-ins don't need to call this, they just exit when the work is done. It is only valid to call this procedure from a plug-in.

Returns :

TRUE on success.

Since GIMP 2.4


gimp_progress_get_window_handle ()

gint                gimp_progress_get_window_handle     (void);

Returns the native window ID of the toplevel window this plug-in's progress is displayed in.

This function returns the native window ID of the toplevel window this plug-in\'s progress is displayed in.

Returns :

The progress bar's toplevel window.

Since GIMP 2.2


GimpProgressStartCallback ()

                                                         gboolean cancelable,
                                                         gpointer user_data);

Warning

GimpProgressStartCallback is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.


GimpProgressEndCallback ()

void                (*GimpProgressEndCallback)          (gpointer user_data);

                                                         gpointer user_data);

Warning

GimpProgressTextCallback is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.


GimpProgressValueCallback ()

void                (*GimpProgressValueCallback)        (gdouble percentage,
                                                         gpointer user_data);

user_data :

a pointer that is passed as user_data to all vtable functions.

Returns :

the name of the temporary procedure that's been installed

Since GIMP 2.4


gimp_progress_install ()

const gchar *       gimp_progress_install               (GimpProgressStartCallback start_callback,

Warning

gimp_progress_install is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

Note that since GIMP 2.4, value_callback can be called with negative values. This is triggered by calls to gimp_progress_pulse(). The callback should then implement a progress indicating business, e.g. by calling gtk_progress_bar_pulse().

start_callback :

the function to call when progress starts

end_callback :

the function to call when progress finishes

text_callback :

the function to call to change the text

value_callback :

the function to call to change the value

a pointer that is returned when uninstalling the progress

Returns :

the name of the temporary procedure that's been installed
