you both for providing some hints. Perhaps the developers of
GIMP might provide a simple little utility/dialog box that would allow
such a thing in the future?
On a slightly related note, does GIMP provide a co-ordinate system
other than pixels? I ask, because it would be even nicer if I could
use my own (x,y) co-ordinate system and then center the image based on
a point in that space, rather than mapping to pixel space and then
centering the image based on the pixel value. Well... perhaps wishful
"hoping" :)
Thanks again,
AikidoGuy
