[Niche Request] Skewing in the Costume Editor.

Open Micasddsa opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

(Quick note: "Element" is how i describe SVG shapes, objects, and groups. if there is a more proper term for this then please lmk) Describe the Request I want a feature in the costume editor that allows me to skew images and SVG elements. The way people would acess this feature would be a seperate tool or appear when something is selected.

Why i want the Feature While you can skew elements manually in the paint editor, It's very time consuming and can come out looking wrong and inacurate and Images must be skewed in a alternate program. A tool to automatically do this like in other programs would make skewing things easier and more effecient and eliminate the need for a external program.

Challenges this might pose when implementing While images may be very easy to implement skewing in. SVG will most defintely introduce problems since it might produce unintended results when skewing SVG groups, meaning that the tool might skew each shape independently instead of skewing like one shape/image.

Edit: This is apparently called Transforming. there is apparently already a suggestion on the scratch forums but this is for the costume editor.

By "skewing", do you mean resizing without preserving aspect ratio. You should be able to do that already by shift+clicking when resizing something
