- The idea of setting width as integer times a float is very good
imho. Did you borrow it somewhere? or it's yours? :)
Mine! (just thought of it yesterday in fact) :D I'm lazy, and the Last thing I'd ever want to do is have to manually enter 0.5 px and similar values just because I want to draw a few thin lines. D:
- Spiro and Bezier as separate modes make sense (for now, Spiro would
disable profiles, but this will be fixed when LPEs can be stacked, this is already being worked on), but I'm not sure about the other buttons in your Mode switch. When I need straight lines, I just do click-click-click in Pen as opposed to Pencil. As for the remaining two buttons, what's the difference? Smoothness? That can be adjusted by the Smooth parameter.
Excellent points! Just Bezier and Spiro it is, with one Smoothness setting!
As for the rest: - drop-down with None, Presets and Clipboard: done! - repeat mode next to it: done! - LPE edit button: d... how does it look like? Well... added anyway! - separate dash and markers, with both disabled for LPE: done!
If possible: - Presets and repeat should only appear for LPE and Clipboard (well, Presets grayed out for Clipboard) - Dash style and markers only appear for "none." This would reduce clutter, as the bar is otherwise pretty long.
Did I miss anything? There could also be an edit button next to dash style, to access the rest of the less common commands.
And if this goes through, Inkscape would actually have acquired an easy interface for vector brushes! :D Joy! Who besides me would like to see "Vector brushes" announced for 0.47? :D Come on now!
