  GimpImage* image,

  gdouble progress_end
)
Description [src]
Create a new layer from a cairo_surface_t.
This procedure creates a new layer from the given
cairo_surface_t. 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.
