Wish abstract gfx previewer/coding window

I've noticed that quite a bit of time is taken up by figuring out math for drawing things etc...
it would be useful to have a simple window where we could test gfx functions and see them draw without launching the app similar to designer scripts but just basically with bitmaps and canvases + drawing/loading functions and being able to declare views. For example I'm writing one right now to scale an image and keep its aspect ratio into a box of a totally different dimension, it's pretty brutal. Actually turning to visual studio express for a minute just because Its faster to work with and see the results, but it would be nicer if there was just a simple window to do this built in. The advantage is being able to write/copy/paste native code.

The next version will support hot code swapping so it will be simpler to test such changes.

That's great news. In the meantime, for those who ran into something similar here's the simple VS2012 project that I used in the meantime.

The orange box is the target view
The red box is the original image variable view so we can see the end effect.

The grey box is just a copy of the original image, but that holds its dimensions.

All i did was change the width and height.
