Description Laxminarayan Kamath 2004-02-07 12:06:28 UTC 
:flip around a given axis
You give two points on the axis (like you draw a line) and the selection 
or drawable flips around (with respect to) it.
Comment 1 Michael Natterer 2004-02-07 19:52:05 UTC 
I agree, being able to flip freely, not only horizotally
and vertically, would be a useful enhancment.
Comment 2 Simon Budig 2004-02-07 20:01:46 UTC 
I believe it would be fairly easy to implement, because it is a
special case of a linear transformation (similiar to perspective
tranformation). Not for 2.0 though, setting milestone to 2.2.
Comment 3 Joao S. O. Bueno 2004-10-22 18:15:44 UTC 
I actually had encoded this as a PDB procedure in BUG #137053. 
 
If that is checked in, there is no reason why a small script fu performing 
this could not be implemented.
Comment 4 weskaggs 2006-06-16 15:38:57 UTC 
Upgrading target milestone to 2.6.
Comment 5 Martin Nordholts 2008-05-28 17:38:22 UTC 
Three and a half years without any progress. Setting milestone to Future.
Comment 6 david gowers 2008-05-29 00:05:11 UTC 
AFAIK the PDB entry currently exists and works, so there was progress. The only thing remaining is to write the script.
Comment 7 Martin Nordholts 2008-05-29 04:33:07 UTC 
Ok then it shouldn't be very hard to get done for 2.6. Let's consider it. Putting back on 2.6 milestone.
Comment 8 Sven Neumann 2008-05-29 06:52:40 UTC 
A script is not very useful for this as the user will want to set the line using the mouse. Which would require quite some changes to the Flip tool. I don't think this needs to be on any milestone.
Comment 9 Martin Nordholts 2010-06-29 18:34:12 UTC 
The free transform tool (http://gui.gimp.org/index.php/Transformation_tool_specification) along with a normal flip will be good enough.
