Enhance Guides New and Guides New Percent

programmer_ceds requested to merge programmer_ceds/gimp:EnhancedGuides into master

Add options to the Image/Guides/New Guide By Percent... and Image/Guides/New Guide... scripts to give the following possible settings:

Horizontal

Vertical

Both axes

Horizontal mirrored

Vertical mirrored

Both axes mirrored

Horizontal repeating

Vertical repeating

Both axes repeating

Horizontal repeating including 0

Vertical repeating including 0

Both axes repeating including 0

The first two options are simply what the existing scripts provide.

The "Both axes" option with a value of 50% (for example) would give centre lines.

The mirrored options would add two guides per selected axis. For example selecting "Both axes mirrored" with a value of 33.3% would give 'rule of thirds' guides in one operation, rather than the 4 needed currently.

Selecting one of the first three repeating options with a value of 30% (for example) would give guides at 30, 60 and 90%.

Selecting one of the final three repeating options with a value of 30% (for example) would give guides at 0, 30, 60 and 90%.
