Add a GimpTransformGridTool::matrix_to_info() virtual function,
which should extract the tool-specific transformation parameters
given a transformation matrix, and the old parameter set (which is
needed in some tools, to derive the parameters that aren't encoded
in the matrix, such as the pivot point). The transformation matrix
can be any combination of matrices calculated by the tool, and
their inverses. Subclasses should only implement this function if
every such matrix can be mapped back to transformation parameters.
This is currently the case for all the transform-grid tools, except
for the shear tool (since it only supports shearing along one of
the horizontal or the vertical directions, however, the combined
matrix may require shearing in both directions).
When a transform-grid tool implements this function, show a chain-
button between the two transform-direction radio-buttons in the
tool options. When the chain-button is linked, whenever the
transform corresponding to the active direction is modified, adjust
the transform corresponding to the non-active direction such that
the overall transform remains the same.
One notable workflow that this enables is transforming a layer
while adjusting a different area than its boundary, by first
defining the area while the transform-directions are linked, and
then transforming the area while the transform-directions are
unlinked.

In GimpTransformGridTool, allow performing simultaneous forward
(normal) and backward (corrective) transforms, by having each
transform direction operate on an independent set of parameters.
In other words, whereas the transform-grid tools previously had a
single transform, which could be applied either normally or
correctively using the "direction" tool-option, they now have two
independent transforms, one applied normally and the other
applied correctively, which are toggled using the "direction"
option. The overall transform is the combination of the backward
transform, followed by the forward transform.
Another way to think about it, is that the tool transforms a source
shape into a destination shape. The source shape is defined by the
backward transform, and the destination shape is defined by the
forward transform. Wherewas previously only one of these shapes
could be controlled (the other shape always being the item bounds),
it's now possible to control both shapes in a single transform.
The next commit will allow modifying both shapes simultaneously,
making this even more useful.
Note that since both transforms start off as the identity, using
only one of the transform directions has the same behavior as
before.

Add an undo_desc field to GimpTransformToolClass, which subclasses
should set to the tool's default undo description. Provide a
default implementation for the get_undo_desc() vfunc, which returns
(a copy of) undo_desc. This simplifies transform tools that have a
static undo descrption, as well as provides a fallback when a
detailed undo description can't be generated (not currently
relevant, but will be used in the next commit).

When initializaing the perspective-clone tool in paint mode, the

In GimpPerspectiveCloneTool, use PIXEL_CENTER cursor precision
while setting the source, and place the source-position handle at
the center of the selected pixel, rather than at its top-left

Additionally, disable the paint tool while adjusting the
perspective, so that the brush outline isn't shown, and the cursor
precision remains SUBPIXEL, even if the hard-edge option is
toggled.

... tools' brush options.
After discussions, it turned out that many people disliked that the spin
scale for brush size (and some other options) get you fractional values.
How often do you actually need to get a 4.32 pixel-size brush? And even
how meaningful is it? On the other hand, you usually want a 4 or a 5
pixel size brush and it's nearly impossible to get (exactly) by dragging
the scale widget.
It is so annoying that some even resort to edit the value with keyboard!
So I am adding an optional "constrain" feature to GimpSpinScale. It will
still be possible to get fractional values when constraining is on, for
instance with keyboard edit (the arrow incrementation also will keep any
fractional part). So the interaction for such scales is simply reversed
so that you get integers easily, and fractional parts with a bit more
effort.
It is not turned on by default (some feature actually need precision and
we don't want to break the sliders for these) and for the time being, I
only applied it to all the brush settings in paint tools. Now that it
exist, we may want to apply this to more scales in various parts of
GIMP.

When a fill zone was a bit too segmented, you'd want to just stroke
across it. But it was leaving some pieces uncolored, even though the
pointer dragged through it! The exact motion mode allows more events.
Note: I don't set it in the similar color filling (where it could have
been useful too) mostly because it is harder to remove events then (even
if a point was already filled, it could still serve as a seed for more
filling if threshold > 0), thus implied too much processing. Anyway in
all my tests, it was more a problem for line art filling anyway.

Additionally to sample merge and active layer, now we can only use the
layer above or below the active layer as line art source.
The line art fill is meant to work on drawing lines. Though sample merge
still is ok in many cases, the more you fill with colors, the more the
line art computation becomes unecessarily complex. Also when you use a
lot of layers with some of them already filled with colors, it makes it
impossible to colorize some line art zones with the tool. Moreover you
just don't want to have to hide every layers out there to colorize one
layer (especially background layers and such as you may want to see the
result with your background).
Thus we want to be able to set the source as a unique layer, while it
not being necessarily the active one (because you want lines and colors
on different layers). In this case, I am assuming that the color and the
line layers are next to each other (most common organization).

Several en_GB to en_US.
Also "Show a preview of the transform_grided image". "grided" should be
"gridded", but I also have a problem with the underscore. Should it be
"transform-gridded"? Even so, does it really make sense?
I chose to just read "Show a preview of the transformed image", which I
think is simpler and the most understandable (we don't need to leak the
implementation with a transform grid into the human read text IMO). If
anyone think that was not the right choice, feel free to propose
otherwise.
Thanks to Bruce Cowan for noticing these.

In the gradient tool, halt the gradient editor before committing
the filter, so that its image-flush idle source is removed before
applying the operation, to avoid flushing the image, and hence
restarting its projection rendering, during application.

In GimpTool, track the last-seen pointer coordinates, modifier
state, and event time, during button_press() and motion() events
and use those to synthesize a button_release() event when
comitting/halting the tool, if the tool is still active, and a
matching button_release() event has not been received.
The paint tools (as well as other tools) require each
button_press() event to be matched by a button_release() event in
order to properly finish their operation, but one isn't organically
generated when switching tools due to a device change.

Instead of having layer picking only on paint tools with alt-click, make
it available everywhere with alt-middle click. Moving through layers is
also a way to navigate an image, so it actually makes sense to be with
other modifiers (panning, zooming, rotating), while making the feature
more generic (this is definitely useful whatever the selected tool).
(cherry picked from commit 4c337353a0)
If you click on a zone filled in several visible layers, you don't
necessarily want the top layer. You may want one below. With this
change, as long as you hold alt, you will loop through all candidate
layers from top to bottom (then looping back top when reaching the
bottom).
In a first alt-click, you will always end up to the top candidate.
(cherry picked from commit 90e9eb3fca)
When working with a lot of layers, it is common to have to switch easily
between layers. And having to go back to the layer list is annoying and
also sometimes not practical at all when you can't find easily the right
layer. This is a first step in an experiment for such a feature, worked
together with Aryeom as advisor (and originator of the feature idea).
For now I apply this only to paint tools, though we are considering
having it as a generic modifier too, working whatever the tool. Yet we
wouldn't be able to use alt-left click (as it is used already in some
tools).
How it works is simply that in any paint tool, alt-click allows to
switch to the topmost layer having a visible pixel at the clicked
position.

... in GimpBucketFillOptions for the line art algorithm.
Inside GimpLineArt, there are still 2 properties, but we don't show them
anymore in the Bucket Fill tool options. One of the main reason is
probably that it's hard to differentiate their usage. One is to close
with curved lines, the other with straight segments. Yet we don't
actually have any control on one or the other. All one knows is that you
can have "holes" in your drawing of a given size and you want them
close-like for filling. Only reason I can see to have 2 types of closure
is whether you'd want to totally disable one type of closure (then you
set it to 0). But this is a very limited reason for making the options
less understandable overall, IMO.
So for the time being, let's show up only a single option which sets
both properties in GimpLineArt. As patdavid says "it makes sense as a
first pass".
Also rename the option to shorter/simpler "Maximum gap length". Thanks
to patdavid and pippin for helping on figuring out this better label!
Finally I am bumping the default for the gaps to 100px. The original
values were ok for the basic small images used in demos, but not for
real life image where it was always too short (even 100px may still be
too short actually, but much better than the 20 and 60px from before!).
(cherry picked from commit 503775a5a0)
Practically it means that the algorithm won't close line art anymore
with both settings at 0. This can nevertheless still be a very useful
tool when you have a drawing style with well-closed lines. In such a
case, you will still profit from the color flooding under the line art
part of the algorithm.
Moreover with such well-closed zones from start, you don't get the
over-segmentation anymore and the threaded processing will be faster
obviously.
(cherry picked from commit 0a2d066168)
This was my initial choice, but the more I think about it, the less I am
sure this was the right choice. There was some common code (as I was
making a common composite bucket fill once the line art was generated),
but there is also a lot of different code and the functions were filled
of exception when we were doing a line art fill. Also though there is a
bit of color works (the way we decide whether a pixel is part of a
stroke or not, though currently this is basic grayscale threshold), this
is really not the same as other criterions. In particular this was made
obvious on the Select by Color tool where the line art criterion was
completely meaningless and would have had to be opted-out!
This commit split a bit the code. Instead of finding the line art in the
criterion list, I add a third choice to the "Fill whole selection"/"Fill
similar colors" radio. In turn I create a new GimpBucketFillArea type
with the 3 choices, and remove line art value from GimpSelectCriterion.
I am not fully happy yet of this code, as it creates a bit of duplicate
code, and I would appreciate to move some code away from gimpdrawable-*
and gimppickable-* files. This may happen later. I break the work in
pieces to not get too messy.
Also this removes access to the smart colorization from the API, but
that's probably ok as I prefer to not freeze options too early in the
process since API needs to be stable. Probably we should get a concept
of experimental API.

Currently in bucket fill tool, the modifier was only switching fg to bg
and bg to fg, and was doing nothing when pattern was set. I make it
switch to fg as well (and remember which was the original value).
(cherry picked from commit 5a157bf1ba)
The code was too much spread out, in core and tool code, and also it was
made too specific to fill. I'll want to reuse this code at least in the
fuzzy select tool. This will avoid code duplication, and also make this
new process more self-contained and simpler to review later (the
algorithm also has a lot of settings and it is much cleaner to have them
as properties rather than passing these as parameters through many
functions).
The refactoring may not be finished; that's at least a first step.
(cherry picked from commit db18c679f3)
In particular, it allows to easily color pick. This just makes sense as
the bucket fill is definitely what one could call a "color tool", and
being able to easily change color without having to constantly switch to
color picker tool nor open a color chooser dialog is a must.
The fill type option (FG/BG/Pattern) was already mapped to the common
toggle behavior key (Ctrl on Linux), which is commonly used for
switching to color picker on paint tools. So I decided to remap the fill
type switch to GDK_MOD1_MASK (Alt on Linux) to keep consistent with
other tools (at the price of a change for anyone used to this modifier,
though I doubt it was that much used).
I also made possible to combine the 2 modifiers (so you could pick the
foreground or background color with ctrl and ctrl-alt).
(cherry picked from commit 5d4281944f)
The distance map has all the information we need already. Also we will
actually grow up to the max radius pixel (middle pixel of a stroke).
After discussing with Aryeom, we realized it was better to fill a stroke
fully (for cases of overflowing, I already added the "Maximum growing
size" property anyway).
