Project Notes

Picture Manipulation Widget by Jens.


From original project:

This project was inspired by Paddle2See's fine version of Chalkmarrow's inspirative project "Pictures with Handles". I loved the way the photos could be moved and scaled in Chalkmarrow's project, and I liked Paddle2See's simpler interface even better but I wanted a yet more direct sprite manipulation method, using mouse gestures.

The gesture that picks up a photo is to start dragging it into the direction of its center. Once it is picked up, it can be dragged to anywhere.

The gesture ro rotate and resize a photo is to start dragging it into the direction of its edge. Again, once it starts turning it can be turned into any direction.

Resizing begins once the mouse touches the photo's edge. Then it can be dragged to become larger or smaller.

If you want to add more pictures, just copy the script into a new sprite.
