<h2>Rotate / Zoom</h2>
<p>This command in the Layers menu allows you to do free rotation about all
3 axes (X, Y, and Z).</p>
<blockquote>
<p> <img border="0" src="Images/RotateZoom.png">
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>There are three areas that you may adjust:</p>
<ul>
<li><h3>Roll / Rotate
</h3><p>This allows you to rotate about the Z axis by dragging the mouse
around the perimeter. There is also a ball ("globe") in the center,
which allows you to rotate about the other two axes (X, and Y).</p>
<p>Rotating the perimeter Z-axis controller will also rotate the
globe.</p>
</li>
<li><h3>Pan
</h3><p>This allows you to slide the image around so that you can get
the right portion in view of the canvas.</p>
</li>
<li><h3>Zoom
</h3><p>This allows you to slide the image back and forth to focus on
the portion of the image that you are interested in.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>There are also two checkboxes:</p>
<ul>
<li><h3>Tiling
</h3><p>If the image is rotated, tilted, or panned in such a way that it
does not fill the canvas, this will cause the image to start repeating
on itself in such a way that it tiles the canvas.</p>
</li>
<li><h3>Preserve Background
</h3><p>If there are parts of the canvas that are not covered by the
image, even if tiling is enabled (there is always a horizon that clips
the image), this will cause the original layer's contents to show
through instead of being replaced with transparency.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Using all of these controls enables you to make some pretty fantastic changes
to your image. The following image was modified using many facilities of Paint.NET
including Rotate / Zoom:</p>
