Ah well, I have no idea if the wiki image upload issue will be fixed, so I just made everything into an image and uploaded it somewhere else:

As you can see, central concepts include:

1. Transformations separated into groups that people other

than tile mathematicians understand 2. And moved to a dedicated dialogue. Basically: ?- One-time filters -> floating boxes ?- Properties that may need future editing -> side-dialogues By the way, radial transformations to use polar coordinates.

I was thinking about the tiling thing for some time and I came to a conclusion that usability-wise the tiling dialog is a cruel joke (adjusting numbers by trial and error? seriously?).
