Re: [Tuxpaint-devel] Stamps rotation

[Bill K. <nb...@so...>]

Wow, this was a pleasant surprise!  I checked it out
briefly; my main issue has to do with speed, but
I'm not sure the best way to deal with it.

(In other words, the response of the XOR outline
preview can 'lag' a bit with very large stamps.)

There's also a problem of the rotation being very
easily tilted sideways quickly.  Since the mouse
remains at the center of the stamp, you need to
carefully move to the right (zero degrees angle)
before moving the mouse around much.

With the stamps, since the mouse currently remains
at the center of the shape, if you move slightly...

 * up -- the shape tilts counter clockwise 90 degrees
 * down -- the shape titles clockwise 90 degrees
 * left -- the shape rotates 180 degrees

I think the mouse should be warped to the far right
side of the vertical-center of the stamp, like the
"Shapes" tool does.  (It will warp to the left of
a shape if you 'drag' the shape out to the left.
That's not an interaction we do with stamps, though.)


Also, I just noticed (how long has this happend! 8^o)
that the "flip" control button is not showing any icon.
(The "mirror" one shows me the "sphere + mirror" icon,
as expected.)

I'll see if I can address both of these.


Thanks so much for this Pere!  I bet we have a ticket
in SourceForge that we can close, once we're happy
with the feature.  If we can get it working well,
I'd be fine with making it a default setting, with an
option to deactivate it.

FYI, we'll need to remember to document it everywhere.

 * The feature itself
   + README docs
   + Features page of website

 * Option to disable
   + OPTIONS docs
   + manpage
   + bash shell tab completion file
