/**
 * gimp_channel_new:
 * @image_ID: The image to which to add the channel.
 * @name: The channel name.
 * @width: The channel width.
 * @height: The channel height.
 * @opacity: The channel opacity.
 * @color: The channel compositing color.
 *
 * Create a new channel.
 *
 * This procedure creates a new channel with the specified width and
 * height. Name, opacity, and color are also supplied parameters. The
 * new channel still needs to be added to the image, as this is not
 * automatic. Add the new channel with the 'gimp_image_add_channel'
 * command. Other attributes such as channel show masked, should be set
 * with explicit procedure calls. The channel's contents are undefined
 * initially.
 *
 * Returns: The newly created channel.
