1999-12-17 Michael Natterer <mitch@gimp.org> * app/menus.c * app/paths_dialog.c: Minor help system fixes. * app/app_procs.c: I thought we should have a real splash (without decoration). Like it??? * app/about_dialog.c * app/flip_tool.c * app/gradient.c * app/levels.c * app/measure.c * app/text_tool.c * app/tools.c * app/transform_tool.c: Did some code browsing: I18N fixes, s/gtk_window_position/gtk_window_set_position/g, indentation paranoia, some g/<type>/g<type>/, various stuff (didn't change any logic).

The Layer Boundary Size lets you set the the boundary of the layer. Remember
|
|
you can have a smaller or larger layer than the image boundary size. When
|
|
you enlarge the boundary size, then you will add some space to paint on to
|
|
your layer. Naturally it will be wise versa when you make the boundary size
|
|
it smaller.
|
|
<P>
|
|
The size area will control how big or small your new layer boundary will
|
|
be just as when you created a new layer. The Offset area will control how
|
|
your layer is clipped or expanded.

Making the layer smaller:

|
|
The offset fields will control where your upper left corner of the old layer
|
|
will be in the "new" layer. The best way to control the new location and
|
|
how and where the layer will be clipped. Is to drag the "layer preview" in
|
|
the Offset area to the right position, and make the final touch with
|
|
the spin buttons (or type it in by hand). The thin outline is the new layer
|
|
size and you have to drag the old layer to the right position so it will
|
|
be clipped according to your demands.

it.

<P>
|
|
If you uncheck the chain in the Size area, you will be able to have different
|
|
ratios when you make the "new" layer . It's therefore possible e.g to have
|
|
a layer which is smaller in X direction and bigger in Y direction than before
|
|
you altered the layer boundary size.
