<p>
The available tool options for the Rotate Tool can be accessed by
double clicking the Rotate Tool icon.
<span class="guiicon">
<span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../images/toolbox/rotate.png" /></span>
</span>
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
<span class="term">Affect</span>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
The Rotate tool can affect the Layer, the Selection, and the
Path differently. These three buttons associate the remainder
of the options to one of those three elements.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
<span class="term">Transform Direction</span>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
The Transform Direction sets which way or direction a layer is
rotated. The Traditional mode will rotate the layer as one
might expect. If a layer is rotated 10 degrees to the right,
then the layer will be rendered as such. This behaviour is
contrary to Corrective rotation.
</p>
<p>
Corrective Rotation is primarily used to repair scanned images
that are not straight. If the image is 13 degrees askew then
you need not try to rotate by that angle. By using Corrective
Rotation you can rotate visually and line up the layer with
the image. Because the transformation is reversed, or
performed backwards, the image will be rotated with sufficient
angle to correct the error.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
<span class="term">Interpolation</span>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
The <span class="guilabel">Interpolation</span> drop-down list allows
you to choose the quality of the transformation. For more
information about the different methods that can be employed,
see the glossary entry <a href="go01.html#glossary-interpolation">Interpolation</a>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
<span class="term">Clip Result</span>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
This option will clip the rotated layer to the original layer
size.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
<span class="term">Grid Options</span>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
The three available grid options are used to change the visual
display of the rotation grid.
</p>
<p>
<span class="guilabel">Don't Show Grid</span> will display only the outline of
the rotation rectangle.
</p>
<p>
<span class="guilabel">Number of Grid Lines</span> will allow control over the
total number of displayed grid lines. Use the
<span class="guilabel">Density</span> slider to set the number of grid lines.
</p>
<p>
<span class="guilabel">Grid Line Spacing</span> allows control over the
distance between the grid lines. Use the <span class="guilabel">Density</span>
slider to set the distance.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
<span class="term">Constraints</span>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
<span class="guilabel">15 Degrees</span> will constrain the rotation to angles
divisible by 15 degrees.
