I'm not sure I understood correctly what do you wish to do. If I understood correctly, when you rotate a drawable, you can use the option "Preview: Image + Grid". Now, you would like to move the center of the rotation so that it will snap to this grid. If this indeed what you mean, then you'll have to modify (at least) the following files: app/tools/gimptransformtool.c - The base class for the transformation tools in GIMP (rotate, shear, transform, scale). The code of the grid for the transformation tool is there, and this is where you should look for information about the grid points (try looking at the function which actually draws the preview grid - it shows how to find and access the grid points themselves) app/tools/gimprotatetool.c - The code of the rotate tool An interesting note which you should probably consider during your implementation, is that it's weird to snap the center of the rotation after you started rotating. Why? Because moving the center point will move the drawable (and the grid itself) and so after you move the center to some other location which was supposedly a crossover of the lines, the crossover would also move and it will probably not be there... (Try it - move the center of the rotation after you already rotated in some big angle) Hope this helps =) LightningIsMyName _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
