what means "g" ?

I have these strings:

Rotate by %-3.3g° around (%g, %g) Shear horizontally by %-3.3g
Shear vertically by %-3.3g
Shear horizontally by %-3.3g, vertically by %-3.3g

What is "g" ? And what is "3.3g" ?

Here "around" means "approximately" ?

%g is a printf format specifier for printing floating-point numbers in a particular format. You can see the printf manpage (man 3 printf) for details. For the strings above, you can consider it equivalent to %f.

No, "around," in this context, means rotating around a centre-point at coordinates (5g, %g)

To anwser your other question, g is part of the floating point format specifier.

%-3.3g , for ex. is not printed, it is replaced by the number.

See man sprintf on linux.

Fine, thank you. I also found the first of the above strings in practice, so I checked successfully my translation.

Further question: should't be the ° character be present after all g's ? (like in first string)

Or, rephrasing: what measurement unit is the %-3.3g from shearing ?

Pixels; ° is only for degrees, e.g. in rotation. One _could_ measure a shear in degrees, but the GIMP UI presents it only in linear units.

Hope this helps.
