  134.                   When the dialog is displayed, the original dimensions of
  135.                   the active layer are shown. You can change them by using
  136.                   the two text boxes. If these boxes are linked together
  137.                   with a chain, the width-to-height ratio is automatically
  138.                   maintained. If you break the chain by clicking on it, you
  139.                   can set the dimensions independently of each other.

  143.                   this by using the drop-down menu. For instance, you might

  152.                   By default, the resized layer is placed in the upper left
  153.                   corner of the image. Here, you can set the offset of the
  154.                   upper left corner of the layer relative to the same corner
  155.                   of the image. The default unit of measurement is pixels,
  156.                   but you can change it by using the drop-down menu. You can
  157.                   also place the layer in the center of the image by
