[Inkscape-devel] Pencil weight

Hi, Not sure whether to ask this here or in users...

I sketch a cartoon (with the mouse) and I like to use the single path line (pencil) tool to do it -- mainly because I can clean the lines quickly. If I use the calligraphy tool it;'s nice, but hard to tweak.

I have found that the freehand line tool in Sodipodi actually works far better for this. It has a "weight", a slowness to it that produces fantastic lines and curves and with only a few nodes to tweak.

Naturally, the rest of Sodipodi is in the Dark Ages and I prefer Inkscape, but that single tool is more useful in the older app.

I see that Calligraphy has a 'weight' setting, and this does help, but is there some way to weight the freehand line tool in Inkscape?
