Description JonStipe 2004-06-14 06:38:17 UTC 
Something that could be useful is "fill layers": A layer that contains only a
single color, or a pattern, or a gradient. It looks like a normal layer
completely filled in with that color/pattern/gradient; however, you can
double-click it in the Layers palette, change the color/pattern/gradient
settings, and it updates automatically. And it can have layer masks or clipping
paths added to it like normal layers.

Photoshop's "Shape layers" are just fill layers with clipping paths. So if you
implement this, and clipping paths (bug #131982), then you could just add a path
stroking capability (similar to bug #136322) and you have vector layers.

Comment 2 Raphaël Quinet 2005-03-11 09:53:07 UTC 
This could be solved if we implement "active layers": drawables associated with a
plug-in or some PDB function, which would be automatically updated when the
parameters of that function are edited.  It is likely that the framework needed
for implementing this enhancement request would be similar to the one needed for
solving bug #79025 and its duplicate bug #98262 (mentioning Photoshop styles and
adjustment layers).
