which means that it's now included normally via gimpbase.h
and not any longer via gimpbasetypes.h which we only did out
of lazyness. A *lot* of files in libgimp* and app/ now need to
Add "Constrain handles" and "Around center" options to the
perspective-transform tool's GUI, which are similar to the
corresponding options of the unified-transform tool. Both of these
options can already be controlled using Shift and Ctrl,
respectively, through the transform-grid widget, so we might as
well provide GUI toggles for them.
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.

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.
While most of our transform tools use an interactive transform
grid, and have similar behavior, the flip tool is an odd one out.
The new "auto straighten" function of the measure tool introduces
another tool that performs transformations, while not behaving like
the rest of the transform tools.
Factor out the parts of GimpTransformTool that handle user
interaction into GimpTransformGridTool (with corresponding
GimpTransformGridOptions, and GimpTransformGridToolUndo), and only
leave the basic transform functionality and options in
GimpTransformTool (and GimpTransformOptions).
Derive all the transform tools (and transform-tool base classes)
that previously derived from GimpTransformTool, from
GimpTransformGridTool. The one exception is GimpFlipTool, which
still derives from GimpTransformTool directly. The next commit
will derive GimpMeasureTool from GimpTransformTool as well.
