[Gimp-user] Point Guides aka guide points aka Anchors

[Gimp-Monkey <forums gimpusers com>]

Thank you for the feedback.  In fact the images are all mockups aka doctored
screen shots and not the implementation.  What I have actually got done are the
dialogs and representation code doe the points / anchors via parasites.  I
started researching how to pain them on the canvas independant of any drawable
but got a little stuck there.  So... hopefully next week when I have a nice bock
of time I can unravel those mysteries. I will check out the ideas referenced and
yeah look at 2.10. Thanks again.
