Gimp.Layer.new_from_surface
function new_from_surface(image: Gimp.Image, name: String, surface: cairo.Surface, progress_start: Number(gdouble), progress_end: Number(gdouble)): Gimp.Layer {
// Gjs wrapper for gimp_layer_new_from_surface()
}
Create a new layer from a [type@cairo.Surface].
This procedure creates a new layer from the given [type@cairo.Surface]. The image has to be an RGB image and just like with Gimp.Layer.new you will still need to add the layer to it.
If you pass progress_end > progress_start to this function, Gimp.progress_update will be called for. You have to call Gimp.progress_init beforehand then.
