How I said previously, will be easier implement first mirroring (I have created a ticket <a href="http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2463"><a href="http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2463">http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2463</a></a>)<br>If you want work in scale, please write a propose, draw a mock-up and probably Gary can help us with the interface issues.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Hmmmm... That OLPC ticket is pretty minimal! It could mean either; 1) improving the ability to scale a selection; or 2) scale the whole image canvas; or 3) add some unit based rulers/grid so that you could draw something to a specific scale; or 4) allowing different sized canvas so you can zoom in and out to work at different scales...</div><div><br></div><div>Anyone know what the request was for? :-)</div><div><br></div><div>I think 1 works OK at the moment (make a selection and then use the Image tools to adjust width or height or rotate), but it is not a great UI for it. The usual way paint software allows easy scaling of selections is to add handles to the 4 sides and 4 corners of the marquee selection. That way a user can drag the handles to change width or height, or grab a corner and change width and height at the same time.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>--Gary</div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div>

<br>
Kindly share your feedback on the two approaches I have arrived at
for this issue. Thank you Gonzalo for your positive feedback on
them.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Looking forward to your reviews.<br>
<br>
