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

["Joao S. O. Bueno" <gwidion mpc com br>]

Actually - from yoru description I guess you've created a Plugin UI where a
copy of the image is shown and one draws the points?

That would be pretty close to unusable -

I suggest you do abuse from the "path" tool at this point, which allows one
to place independent handles already (although unconnected points require
modifier + click) - -Then yu get the points, snap capability, and you can
have a plug-in, or group of simpler plug-ins that could be grouped on a
submenu, to perform actions based on points of the currently selected path.
