To be honest, i don't know how implement this functionality. Is a tool to change the size of a selection? is a rule? is a zoom tool? We have a tool to change the size of a selection (in the Image toolbar) but is not easy to use. How I said previously, will be easier implement first mirroring (I have created a ticket <a href="http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2463">http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2463</a>) If you want work in scale, please write a propose, draw a mock-up and probably Gary can help us with the interface issues.

Thank you Gonzalo for your positive feedback on them. 1.Use selection tool(Marquee tool) for scale using its boundary as dimensions ,printing it out on either toolbox ,or on a temporary status bar at bottom or view it on a gtk.window instance using a scale button. 2.Implement a line scale like a line tool which will show dimensions from starting point to end-point in pixels as text at center of the line. Looking forward to your reviews. Regards, Ayush </div> </div> </blockquote></div> -- Gonzalo Odiard
