gimp_ellipse_select (1995-1996)

NAME

gimp_ellipse_select - Create an elliptical selection over the specified image.

SYNOPSIS

gimp_ellipse_select (image,x,y,width,height,operation,antialias,feather,feather_radius)

DESCRIPTION

This tool creates an elliptical selection over the specified image. The elliptical region can be either added to, subtracted from, or replace the contents of the previous selection mask. If antialiasing is turned on, the edges of the elliptical region will contain intermediate values which give the appearance of a sharper, less pixelized edge. This should be set as TRUE most of the time. If the feather option is enabled, the resulting selection is blurred before combining. The blur is a gaussian blur with the specified feather radius.
