Hi all, (Johan, I'm CC'ing you because you actively worked in this area a while ago)
I'd like to use the temporary canvas item machinery to display some "info" related to LPEs. This info can consist of helper paths or perhaps even text (e.g., for LPEs measuring path lengths or areas). I've played a bit with it but I think I'm not using it in the correct/recommended/ easiest way, which sometimes even results in crashes.
So my questions are:
- How can I create a temporary canvas item to display a helper path having a given shape?
- How can I display text using this mechanism?
- If I want to make either the helper path or the text permanent (i.e., convert them into a non-temporary item and save them in the document), how can I achieve this?
Thanks for any help, Max
