[GBG] Directional layers tool updated

[Branko Vukelic]

Hey brushmakers,

I've updated the Directional layers tool to NOT create the 360 degrees
layer (that used to be the last one). Whatever step came before the
360 degrees is now the last one. For example, for an 8-step rotation,
315 degrees is now the last layer created. Download the updated
version here:

Happy brushmaking!

Link is broken, well not really but it doesn´t provide a good friendly
"save as..."

Hm, it's a codaset bug, I guess. Right-click the link, and then "Save
link as" or whatever mechanism your browser provides for saving linked
content.

I wrote a similar function in scheme http://registry.gimp.org/node/583

I am not a python person (but I am trying) and it looks like each new
rotated step is created by rotating the last rotates step.

From my experience, I would suggest you always rotate the original
layer (selection) and keep incrementing the angle you rotate to avoid
gradual softening and blurring of the image as you repeatedly rotate
already rotated copies.

Hope that is clear (no pun intended).

That's as clear as it gets, I think. :) I guess this might be a big
issue for graphical brushes such as the ones used in cartography. I'll
mod my script accordingly.

Thanks, Rob.
