Hi all,
I've unhidden the sketch lpe. I decided to remove the "construction line" feature in this effect (it used to place the tangent lines randomly along the input path).
My feeling was that the placement should either be tuned by hand, or guessed from curvature extrema or something... Anyway, I felt it was not good enough as is, and would eventually be worth a separate effect (the issue with independant effect is that you need to apply 2 effects on the *same* source path, which is not possible atm --- but no doubt this will come sooner or later! ;-)
Anyone having an opinion about this feature or it's eventual splitting in a separate effect?
By the way, my dream is that we could import or mimic Blender's 'node' system into inkscape: the effect editor would be a window within which each effect would be a little box with input and output slots (+ input fields + an eventual small window to show the result of the effect), and you would be free to connect ones with others, defining not only a pipeline, but a full graph with parallel ways, etc... You generally end up with a nice plate of noodles, but it's very powerfull. Notice the same thing could be used for both lpe and filters effects.
Cheers, jfb.
