Well, I'm not really trained to talk of such things, but one thing worth thinking of is how precise your method is trying to be. One of the reasons why Cage Transform is so slow is that it's trying to be too smart and does too much computation. The plan was to eventually start using poly2tri-C li

I have it currently written in Java and performance on fairly large images isn't so good. I suppose that in C and with more optimizations it will be much better. Performance and behavior of the algorithm very depends on a size of mesh's squares (or triangles). I'll try to do some performance tests.

Hi I'm using gimp for quite a while now, and I thought, I know gimp inside out by now :) So there is a little wish, that most of the users on gimp-werkstatt.de and I have: Would it be possible, to put a filter to the font-dialog, like there is for brushes, patterns an other resources-dialo

Well, if I could say something about creating gradients in gimp (as a regular user), there are some issues that I think that can get the user confused or frustrated: - using right mouse button to change colors and to split segments: Intuitivelly, I see the right mouse button as "more options"

Hello, I would like to participate in this year's GSOC. As a school project, I implemented as-rigid-as-possible (and as-similar-as-possible) n-point image deformation. I've thought it would be useful to have a tool implementing this in GIMP. I know that at the moment similar effect can be achieved
