Several new features were added to the Calligraphic pen to make Inkscape capable of the ancient art of '''line engraving'''. Traditional engraving is a very labour-intensive process, and while for a long time it was the only practical way of reproducing lifelike images in black-and-white print, about a century ago it was almost completely displaced by automatic halftone screens. However, line engravings have their characteristic charm, and there's no reason not to try to resurrect this art form with the help of Inkscape.
I was just thinking, like, a few days ago, about adding/requesting something that would assist with my comic inking, namely something to help keep my stylus locked on my scanned pencils. :D The parallel lines feature looks lovely, too. I'm going to see how this works tonight with my comics.
