Even when using a graphics tablet with pressure sensitivity, the Calligraphy pen's strokes often look too smooth and artificial. To enable a more natural look, the new Tremor parameter is added to the Calligraphy tool in this version. Adjustable in the Controls bar from 0.0 to 1.0, it will affect your strokes producing anything from slight unevenness to wild blotches and splotches. This significantly expands the creative range of the tool.
This tremor stuff is wicked cool! Only tried with mouse so far, so I can't wait to get home to try with the tablet.

Sounds neat! Do you have a screenshot for that?
We definitely need a good, big, complex, stunning screenshot for the web site demonstrating what can be drawn with Calligraphic, with or without pressure sensitivity and tremor. But I'm not that much of an artist to do it all by myself. Artists needed! :)
I'm willing to do it. I think that for an updated calligraphy screenshot we'd benefit to have half the screenshot drawn with tablet, the other with just a mouse (labeled accordingly). That way people can see what can be done with each. I've actually been playing with the calligraphy tool a bit at home recently just to get really "inky" results. I know I can definitely do some interesting and fun stuff, but if you want actual calligraphy we're probably better off finding someone with better penmanship for that part.
Shall we update the Calligraphy tutorial as well to reflect the new parameter?
Oh, and if you have any SVGs or screenshots of the other recently added stuff, it's welcome too. I hereby open the 0.44 Screenshots Season! :)
Does this mean I can whip up the Gaze - Outline View one, or should I still wait? This one is cake since the document exists and it's a quick view toggle and screencap, so if there are any potential UI changes that I should wait on it's all good.
