Done. The feature is now also present in pen tool since it's probably equally useful there. Also, the dots created by Ctrl+click are now filled with the current stroke color and have no stroke so that they look like real points. :)
And a couple more notes on the feature:
- 'Create single point' message in Undo History is grouped under
'Draw path'. I think it deserves its own group ;-)
Not sure about that but I'm not averse either. Haven't done it yet, though.
- There's no way to define radius/diameter of the point.
Now there is. :) To be set in the preferences of pen/pencil tools.
- Points should probably be measured in screen pixels and be
relative. Or meaybe not. This is a highly controversial stuff :-)
For now (mostly due to limited time, and since I didn't want to interfere too much with the dialog as it is) the value simply represents the amount by which the dot size is larger than the current stroke width. Maybe this is sufficient for most needs.
Oh, and one other feature: When pressing Shift while creating dots by Ctrl+click, the dot radius varies slightly so that when a couple of dots are created the result looks less monotone. Hope this is useful for someone.
