[Gimp-developer] Freehand paths

[saulgoode at flashingtwelve.brickfilms.com]

The enhancements made to the Free Select tool in version 2.6 are quite  
phenomenal. The implementation is powerful yet intuitive and I  
congratulate those involved in its development (from the Changelog I  
am led to believe that Martin Nordholts handled the brunt of the  
coding effort).

I was wondering if it would be feasible to use that same tool  
interface in order to implement similar hybrid polygonal/freehand  
segments as a new Paths type. Having the capability to free draw and  
then stroke both closed or open paths would be quite handy, as well as  
being able to manipulate such paths by duplication, scaling,  
transformation, translation, and direct editing.
