Hi,
I've not contributed to inkscape before, this is my first time.
I have created a branch which supports editing elliptical arcs in
the node editor.
I'm new to bazaar (and inexperienced with launchpad) so I think I've
done the right thing with a merge request here:
https://code.launchpad.net/~danieljabailey/inkscape/arc_node_editor/+
merge/294742
(but thought I'd check by asking on this list.)
Is this an interesting feature?
Definitely!
If so I can polish it up for merging into the main repo.
Please do.
The interface is a bit awkward but I don't have a better idea at this
point. It would probably be useful to be able to fix the tangents at
the nodes so the path is smooth at that point.
I see a couple of bugs in my five minutes of playing with it:
First one:
1. Draw a circle.
2. Convert to path (path consists of four arcs).
3. When adjusting one arc, the upper right arc is transformed into a
straight line.
Second one:
Converting from arc to Bezier (clicking the curve button) either does
not work or does not produce expected result of a Bezier that
approximates an arc.

Thanks.
Dan.
