Currently, the PDB provides either basic rotate, scale, or shear, or a full-blown perspective. Instead of just augmenting rotation, why not provide a 2D transform, with rotate, scale, and shift in a single op? Although it's a little redundant, I've found the following parameters useful to describe 2d transforms: centre of transform x and y scale rotation angle destination point for centre plus interpolation on/off. (Do the PDB versions expand the drawable to fit? Do we need another flag for this?) This is not really a new feature (freeze-wise), but would be very useful. I can probably do it if no one else has the time, and if the powers-that-be don't object. -- David Hodson -- hodsond@xxxxxxx -- this night wounds time
