The canvas is a sort of layer that contains other layers, such that the inner layers are clipped to the edges of the canvas. Maybe it would make some sense for the canvas to be a layer group instead, and to have a "clip to group container" checkbox on a layer group. But the canvas is a strong metaphor. -- Liam Quin - XML Activity Lead, W3C, http://www.w3.org/People/Quin/ Pictures from old books: http://fromoldbooks.org/ Ankh: irc.sorcery.net irc.gnome.org freenode/#xml _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list
