[openbeos] Re: ShowImage "Mirror" Operations

I believe ShowImage should be left as a lightweight image viewer.  If all I
want to do is view an image, I don't see the need for a larger,
full-featured, application to be used.  If I want to make changes to that
image then I will use something else.  For me, I see ShowImage as being
analogous to Preview on OS X.  It is small and gets the job done with a lot
less hassle than, say, iPhoto or Photoshop.  I say leave it as it is, a
application that displays images and allows maybe simple task to be done,
such as maybe rotation or reflection of the image, and nothing more.

And that brings me to why I originally started this.  Instead of using flip
or mirror, why not use reflect.  You can reflect the image across the
horizontal or vertical axis or allow the user to select a point and reflect
across that.  Anyone with a basic understanding of algebra, I think, should
be able to understand that terminology or maybe I have had too much math and
it just seems to make more sense to me than mirror this or flip that way.
