I've been banging my head on this one for awhile and I can't get past "TypeError: wrong parameter type". I've set all the values to integers since I figured it could automagically convert them to floats if it needed to. I realize I shouldn't have tangled with a function that has 40+ arguments, but it's what I need. I got a colortoalpha plugin to work, but I've removed it for clarity.

I'm new to python so I suspect I'm indenting wrong or some such thing. Please set me straight.

Here's my code:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import math
from gimpfu import *

def create_spherical_animation(img, drw):
img.disable_undo()
layer_ovoid = drw.copy(True)
layer_ovoid.mode = NORMAL_MODE
layer_ovoid.name = "Ovoid"
img.add_layer(layer_ovoid, -1)
pdb.plug_in_map_object(img, layer_ovoid, 1,
#viewpoint x, y, z
1, 1, 2,
#position x, y, z

#first-axis x, y, z

#second-axis x, y, z
0, 1, 0,
#rotation-angle x, y, z
0, 0, 5,
#light type = directional

img.enable_undo()
gimp.displays_flush

Hi Bob,
Your mistake is not an indentation problem; almost every indentation problem causes a SyntaxError or IndentationError.
The TypeError comes from the drawables; you have given -1 for the drawables, however they need to be a drawable -1, not an integer -1.
if you do
na = gimp._id2drawable(-1)
and then replace the -1's with na, does that help?

Lastly, you are not calling gimp.displays_flush.
Instead, you are getting its value (and then discarding it). This is because you omitted the ()

I'm not sure how to repay your quick response. You nailed it. The -1 not being a drawable was it. I had no clue about the need to make the -1 a drawable even though it clearly shows that in the procedure browser.

If you want my avatar you only need ask.

My pleasure, really.
(I'm the same guy who talked to you elsewhere, recommending the spacing out across lines + commenting)
I had some trouble with -1 drawables myself, before, so it's good to know for me too.
