2.5.3 Anchoring Floats
After a float has been created, normal operations cannot continue in
the GIMP until the float is anchored. Anchoring is just the operation
of depositing the float into a normal layer. Once this is done, the
other layers become available for GIMP operations again. A layer can
be anchored either to a new layer or to the last active layer before
the float was created. A float is anchored to a new layer by
selecting New Layer from the Layers menu or by clicking on the
New Layer button in the Layers dialog. A float is anchored to
the previously active layer by using the Anchor
Layer function from the Layers menu, by
typing C-h in the image window, or by clicking on the Anchor button in the Layers dialog.
