Rotation shape tool. Elipse.

Tue Jan 30, 2018 9:20 am
Hello, Dear developers ;D . If is possible, add new feature. Shape tool rotation.
For example , when i create ellipse shape i can do move (ALT) and control proportions (SHIFT, CTRL), but i can`t rotation :'( . I`d like to do it by CTRL + ALT . In main is minimum manipulation.
In my opinion, it will speed up creation circle form in perspective. In my case it works. Maybe it`s useful to someone.

Sorry for my english. Have a nice day. ^-^

If you select the elipse, it is surrounded by a selection/control rectangle. Then, the 'handles' are visible and can be grabbed by the cursor to give a variety of adjustments.

The corner handles give an arrow (stretch) cursor or a rotation cursor, depending on where you position the cursor. The rotation cursor lets you rotate the elipse.

The handles on the sides also give you a skew/perspective control cursor which might be useful for you.

Thank you for your answer.
If i right understand you tell about transform tool ( https://userbase.kde.org/Krita/Manual/Tools/Transform and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQ8iIQU9KHc )

I mean what i can rotate ellipse when i create one. https://www.desmos.com/calculator/42lngkxil6 :)

I mean the Shape Manipulation tool. It looks like an arrow and is the first tool in the Toolbox (next to the Text tool). The elipse must be drawn in a vector layer for this to work so that it is an object with handles and parameters that can be varied by grabbing and dragging with the cursor.

Edit: Actually, the Transform tool does the same thing for Paint Layer shapes after you've selected an area with the Shape Manipulation Tool.

Thank you, again.
This function is the same as transform tool. I say about spend of time. We do many actions for result (new layer > draw shape > select another tool > transform shape > merge layer). I think, it is long time for one ellipse.
