I was asked by Michael Natterer to discuss this enhancement on the

Basically, I'd like to see the line cue for the Pen tool colorized
when either of the two X,Y axis offsets are 0, or when their absolute
values are equal (or have it match the existing angles used for
snapping, though I personally only use the 45 degree angle setting
often).
This colorization cue would be visible without activating snapping,
and would simply change the line color when those conditions are met.
I have no other reason for wanting it except that I think it is
difficult to see when the line is at exactly 45 degrees since it uses
such a smooth anti-aliasing algorithm, and that it would provide
added value, be a nice helpful feature, and something that I've
wanted in GIMP for quite some time. :-)
How would that be better than the current "constrained angles"?
It would cue automatically without constraining. As the cursor moves
around, the colors would indicate alignments. It could be used to
examine existing image content, or to help align new.
Best regards,
Rick C. Hodgin
