[How would I import an image from a website into paint.net?]

Oh sorry. Yes I meant through a plugin.

[How would I import an image from a website into paint.net?]

I honestly have no idea where to start or whether or not it is even possible to do through code. I was just going to ask around for any help/scripts/tips before I got started. Any help?

[How do I finish this script of taking information from a string and coloring pixels with it?]

@Ego Eram Reputo huh, I guess I didn't see that when browsing through the tutorials. I'll make sure to add that into the script.

[How do I finish this script of taking information from a string and coloring pixels with it?]

Thank you to everyone for the help! I was really stuck on my code, and I knew that it looked like a mess(I almost didn't ask for help because it looked so unorganized). But, you guys helped me understand my errors and I cannot thank you enough for showing me the right way to do it.

 

[How do I finish this script of taking information from a string and coloring pixels with it?]

I am making a plugin on CodeLab, and I have been having quite a bit of trouble. I want to make a script that takes an input of something like "[10,10;20,20;0.5,0.25,0.9;1][50,60;10,10;0,0,0;1]" and creates a picture out of it. Heres how its suppose to work. 

[posX, posY; sizeX, sizeY, R,B,G; ZIndex] (the ZIndex is not being used yet, because other problems are in the way first, but eventually I would like to have it so that tables with high ZIndex's overwrite the colors of tables with lower ZIndexs)

I want it to paint all of the pixels in the area define by the size and position the RBG given. I have been having trouble debugging this because paint.net keeps on crashing whenever an error exists in the code(because it auto compiles every few seconds). It is VERY annoying. I have tested the string parsing on other programs and am confident that it works, but it still keeps on crashing. Eventually, I want to get rid of the line     String Amount1 = "[10,10;20,20;0.5,0.25,0.9;1][50,60;10,10;0,0,0;1]";   and allow an input from the User Interface Designer. Can anyone out there finish the script for me or point me toward a better plugin creator for Paint.net?

 

 

Here is the code I have so far (and yes the UI code isnt in yet)
