Using pencil and paper, easy, just skew the paper to suit.

You can do this with Gimp. On my installation the shift key + the middle mouse button (which on my mouse is pressing the scroll wheel) will click and drag and rotate the view. Not the same as a image rotate, this is virtual.

might go like this. https://i.imgur.com/wL2hTqQ.mp4

Zero01, the video was accelerated but I don't think any tools were used. At least no changes to the mouse pointer or the screen.

rich2005 I think you found the answer!
I think that must be it; I tested it here and it also worked!

Every day a new learning experience with Gimp.

Thank you gentlemen!
