Check if the image's undo stack is enabled.
91
This procedure checks if the image's undo stack is currently enabled
92
or disabled. This is useful when several plugins or scripts call
93
each other and want to check if their caller has already used
94
<link linkend="gimp-image-undo-disable"><function>gimp_image_undo_disable()</function></link> or <link linkend="gimp-image-undo-freeze"><function>gimp_image_undo_freeze()</function></link>.</para>

Disable the image's undo stack.
110
This procedure disables the image's undo stack, allowing subsequent
111
operations to ignore their undo steps. This is generally called in
112
conjunction with <link linkend="gimp-image-undo-enable"><function>gimp_image_undo_enable()</function></link> to temporarily disable an
113
image undo stack. This is advantageous because saving undo steps can

be time and memory intensive.</para>

This procedure enables the image's undo stack, allowing subsequent
131
operations to store their undo steps. This is generally called in

146
Freeze the image's undo stack.
149
This procedure freezes the image's undo stack, allowing subsequent
150
operations to ignore their undo steps. This is generally called in
151
conjunction with <link linkend="gimp-image-undo-thaw"><function>gimp_image_undo_thaw()</function></link> to temporarily disable an
152
image undo stack. This is advantageous because saving undo steps can
153
be time and memory intensive. <link linkend="gimp-image-undo-freeze"><function>gimp_image_undo_freeze()</function></link> /
154
<link linkend="gimp-image-undo-thaw"><function>gimp_image_undo_thaw()</function></link> and <link linkend="gimp-image-undo-disable"><function>gimp_image_undo_disable()</function></link> /
155
<link linkend="gimp-image-undo-enable"><function>gimp_image_undo_enable()</function></link> differ in that the former does not free up
156
all undo steps when undo is thawed, so is more suited to interactive
157
in-situ previews. It is important in this case that the image is
158
back to the same state it was frozen in before thawing, else 'undo'
159
behaviour is undefined.</para>

172
Thaw the image's undo stack.
175
This procedure thaws the image's undo stack, allowing subsequent
176
operations to store their undo steps. This is generally called in
177
conjunction with <link linkend="gimp-image-undo-freeze"><function>gimp_image_undo_freeze()</function></link> to temporarily freeze an
178
image undo stack. <link linkend="gimp-image-undo-thaw"><function>gimp_image_undo_thaw()</function></link> does NOT free the undo
179
stack as <link linkend="gimp-image-undo-enable"><function>gimp_image_undo_enable()</function></link> does, so is suited for situations
180
where one wishes to leave the undo stack in the same state in which
181
one found it despite non-destructively playing with the image in the
182
meantime. An example would be in-situ plugin previews. Balancing
183
freezes and thaws and ensuring image consistancy is the
184
responsibility of the caller.</para>
