[Gimp-developer] servers consolidation

2010-11-04 Thread Alexandre Prokoudine
Hi,

It appears that the plan for servers consolidation was never realized.
And it looks like this is one of the problems behind some ongoing
issues with availability of our sites.

Does anybody have any idea at which stage of the plan exactly we are stuck?

Re: [Gimp-developer] Will be the Cage based transform included in the next Gimp release?

Hello,

The cage tool is based on the Green coordinates (
http://www.math.tau.ac.il/~lipmanya/GC/gc.htm). These coordinates are not
defined outside the cage, so the cage tool wont be able to affect point
outside the cage. There is a mathematical possibility to expand the
cage trough one edge of the cage, but i think that the way it would work
isn't relevant for the gimp use case.

However, the cage tool already implement almost half of a future iwarp tool.
Most of the deformation backend can be reused as is, and the deformation
logic of the cage tool can be adapted to code an iwarp tool.


Best regards,

Hello

Does the tool affect the points outside the cage? If no, it cannot 
replace i-warp plug-in  functionally.

It would be nice, if the tool had an option "deform pixels outside the 
cage" with the same behavior and settings like i-warp plugin outside the 
cage. And it could share some code with the future i-warp tool which 
does not have control closed region.


With respect,
Alexander Rabtchevich
