Class GroupLayer
Build from GroupLayer.h
Krita 4.0.0

The GroupLayer class A group layer is a layer that can contain other layers. In Krita, layers within a group layer are composited first before they are added into the composition code for where the group is in the stack. This has a significant effect on how it is interpreted for blending modes.

PassThrough changes this behaviour.

Group layer cannot be animated, but can contain animated layers or masks.

Return

returns whether or not this layer is in passthrough mode. @see setPassThroughMode

setPassThroughMode(passthrough: bool)
Krita 4.0.0

This changes the way how compositing works. Instead of compositing all the layers before compositing it with the rest of the image, the group layer becomes a sort of formal way to organise everything.

Passthrough mode is the same as it is in photoshop, and the inverse of SVG's isolation attribute(with passthrough=false being the same as isolation="isolate").

Parameters

passthrough

whether or not to set the layer to passthrough.

type()str
Krita 4.0.0

Krita has several types of nodes, split in layers and masks. Group layers can contain other layers, any layer can contain masks.

Return
