(as far as i understand, tilt makes sense as a way to apply biased paint -- so it might work as an aspect ratio + scale + rotation modifier. I think we could do something nice automatically here.. as long as we still allowed GIH brushpipes to implement custom behaviour. Brushpipes currently support things such as selection based on angle, velocity, X and Y tilt, which are highly useful. They need to be made easier to create and edit, as they will be always more capable than any automatic modification we can devise. something else to consider is, it's helpful for one input to map to one output -- if rotation maps to movement angle (and I believe it should by default), then it would be confusing for another factor to effect the rotation. ) Anyway, the proposition of David G related only to manual setting of brush angle, rather than modification during a stroke according to things like direction and tilt. so to be correct, such a behaviour (manually setting and drawing with a rotation) is entirely independent of the particular device being used. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
