Re: [Inkscape-devel] Pencil weight

Donn disegnò:

I sketch a cartoon (with the mouse) and I like to use the single path line (pencil) tool to do it -- mainly because I can clean the lines quickly. If I use the calligraphy tool it;'s nice, but hard to tweak.

I have found that the freehand line tool in Sodipodi actually works far better for this. It has a "weight", a slowness to it that produces fantastic lines and curves and with only a few nodes to tweak.

Maybe another solution could be just to use the "Simplify" command (Ctrl-L) to reduce the number of nodes of your lines after you've drawn them.
