I have an (unfinished) image viewer app (C program) that lets you dynamically resize an image with pinch and stretch gestures. I tried supporting rotate too, but I discovered I need to fix the broken multi-touch code in the kindle (still broken in 5.1.0) needed to support rotating past a common axis.
When touching the screen, it changes to dithered mode to support "animated" resizing, then on finger release it redraws the "full grayscale" image. I have so many projects at various stages of completion that I bounce around between them at different times. This is just a hobby after all (no pay, no sponsors, and almost too many hecklers for my comfort -- the ignore button will help there).
Anyway, I have published enough code snippets here that people should be able to continue my plans in my absence, should I really decide that I must leave here to preserve my own peace and serenity.
Part of my plan for image resizing is so that you can expand small text in a comic book image for readability, and pan around between comic book frames within the page.
The important part is dynamic (real-time visual feedback) resizing and panning, so you can see a hint of what you will get when you "untouch" the screen.
