Map Editor Tools

[BelgarionRiva]

The new map editor is great, there is a load of creativity amongst the community. There is something I have seen so far that I did not like. Players start making maps with great patience and creativity, then stop halfway and botch it the whole way. Why do they do that? Because of loss of patience. The editor needs the following tools in order to make beautiful maps and get rid of patience issues. It took me 6h to make a tower, and I got pissed by the end and stopped calculating my scales and ended up with a half crapped design...

List of tools that would be cool to be implemented in part or totality:
-Undo last action
-Redo last action
-Geometric shapes brush
-Different sized brushes
-Crop action
-Copy action
-Cut action
-Paste action
-Rotate clipboard action
-Resize clipboard action
-Straight line action from point A to point B at 0deg, 30deg, 45 deg, 60 deg, 90 deg or at any approximate angle
-Curved line action. Let points C and D be between points A and B. Straight line between point A and point B. C and D can then be manipulated for curvy line.
-Fill empty space. This is the most crucial of all tools. 90% of the maps are not single area spaced and are filled maps. It takes an eternity to color the whole map. Why cannot I simply draw the contour, make sure it's enclosed, and then click a single button + click, to fill the whole area? It would save HOURS and it would make people pay way more attention and botch their drawings less.

Thank you for your consideration.

Interesting array of tools. I wouldn't mind if some were added.
