ImageCoordinatesWindow
The ImageCoordinates-Window displays informations about the
current image (the one spefied as input from within the
PCSinglePicture-Window) and allows you to modify several
effect-parameters graphically.
There a some types of controls which can be dragged and
modified using the mouse.
Functions
Control-Type type of control:
point : simple point, e.g. represting a upper-left edge
of a image to be composed
rect : e.g. representing a crop-region
circle: e.g. representing the amount and the radius
of a Twirl-effect
Left,Top coordinates of the point (in coordiantes of the unscaled image),
upper-left edge of the rectangle,
centre of the circle,
Right, Bottom lower-right edge of the rectangle
Angle angle of the current drawn radius of the circle
Radius radius of the circle
Apply apply the settings to the currently selected effect

Rotate (point, circle)

Notes
1) To grab a region for a Crop-effect it is necessary to disable
the effect (pressing <n>) before opening the ImageCoordinates-Window.
Otherwise the image shown as preview is already cropped.
This "nasty" behaviour is a result of the clear preview-concept and
no "bug" or similar.
2) This window can be also used to grab a color. If the control-type
is set to "point" the original colors (i.e. of the untransformed image)
at the current cursor-position are displayed as rgb-values.
3) Graphically specified parameters have the higher priority.
So it makes no sense to change a parameter from within
Parameter-Settings -Window while
the ImageCoordinates-Window is open.
