Description Simon Budig 2003-10-30 20:59:52 UTC
I think it might be useful to have additional
options for the Grid. It could be

* rotated
* sheared (that would include hexagonal grids as
suggested on IRC)

other suggestions were isometric and polar grids.

This definitely is a post 2.0 issue.
Comment 1 Sven Neumann 2003-10-30 22:05:45 UTC
We could make GimpGrid a GimpItem. It would then implement the
transform interface (should perhaps really become a GInterface) and
could be transformed using the transform tools. And it would more or
less automatically transform with the image. So if you rotate the
whole image, the grid rotates with it.

See Bug #151092 where some similar ideas were addressed.
Modified algorithms from the GFig grid (independent track 
and sector spacing on polar grids, where inner tracks don't 
get overly dense sectors, etc.) could be used. 

Actually I don't know why (from a user's perspective) GFig 
needs its own separate grid mechanism, but if GimpGrid could
do all of this, GFig might not need its own. (and many times
one might not need to even use GFig if these options were in
GimpGrid)
