[Inkscape-devel] pressure sensitivity for Pencil tool using powerstroke?

Hi Friends, Someone has recently posted on a forum, asking for a tool which combines pressure sensitivity of Calligraphy, freehand, powerstroke, and simplify, all in one tool. I explained we have something pretty close to that with Pencil, Triangle In/Out, with Simplify option.

But it made me start to wonder. The Calligraphy tool must have been chosen for pressure sensitivity, at least in part because it can achieve variable width. Well now that we have powerstroke, I wonder if it would it be possible to give pressure sensitivity to the Pencil tool, using powerstroke?

Probably a wild thought. But can't hurt to ask. Just asking if that, or something like it would be possible.

Thanks, brynn
