Re: [Gimp-user] How to get the positions(x, y) (width, depth) of selected rectangle or selected ellipse

[Ofnuts <ofnuts gmx com>]

If you register your script properly, the Image will be in the function
arguments when the script is called from the menu,
no need to read it out from the title bar.

Also, you can avoid a lot of back-slashing by either:

- Using "raw" notation for string literals:

    file_name = r'c:\Users\YourName\Documents\Temp\SampleXcfCsv.txt'

- Using triple quoting:

file_name='''c:\Users\YourName\Documents\Temp\SampleXcfCsv.txt'''

- Using forward slashes, that work just as well (the Windows API
understands both types, it's just the command-prompt parser
that insists on backslashes):

file_name="c:/Users/YourName/Documents/Temp/SampleXcfCsv.txt"
