There is an ancient feature request for the ability to rotate the canvas in GIMP - https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55367 - I always thought ofit as interesting, and I expect that a pure GEGL rendering stack and reworking of the UI will enable GIMP to implement something like this. Splitting a window, AFAIK, had not been thought of - there is support for multiple views of an image, with different zoom levels, thrught he use of multiple windows to the same image. js -><- _______________________________________________ Mypaint-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/mypaint-discuss
