See this bug report in which I roughly sketched out how I'd use such a thing (i've refined it in my own program a little, but it's basically the same). It calls for a three point transform defining an affine transformation: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164828 I personally wouldn't mind seeing some such tool completely replacing the separate rotate/scale/shear tools. I started to develop such a tool, but I keep getting sidetracked.. Also see this bug report about adding a "free transform" tool: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138462 I've also been (very, very) slowly making a tool to stretch around images using some form of bezier patch within the Gimp, which is relevant for the following bug report. Too many other projects getting in the way!: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=338888 Tom -------- http://www.tomlechner.com _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
