I generally use some version of GIMP 2.10 on many different distros of Linux, most often Debian-based such Ubuntu, Parrot, Neon, etc
For the most part, I've done my scripting in Scheme because it was the only scripting language I could get to register properly, the python scripts would never load no matter what troubleshooting steps I tried. This is fine though as Scheme is fun and still powerful enough to do just about whatever I need with the proper ideas.
Anyhow, the point being that I came across a hurdle with (gimp-drawable-set-pixel), which is the only function I know where you can explicitly define pixels values to place into an image. And with the following script :
I get the cryptic error message -- "Error: Procedure execution of gimp-drawable-set-pixel failed". As a side note, I don't use python because it's been difficult for me to get Gimp to register python scripts in Linux, so seeing as how I have quite a few Scheme scripts started I'd like to try and resolve this fundamental problem of being able to place a pixel into an image, are there other functions that could give a similar functionality? I've considered sampling pixels with (gimp-drawable-get-pixel) and then creating a new layer with 1x1 pixels, and then applying a paint to the new layer to match the color of sampled picture, and then mixed down a layer group of 320 x 240 layers (for a 320x240 pixel image for example) and then calling that a 'set pixel" alternative, but that would be an extreme work around. Is there anything obvious that I'm overlooking?
