Re: [Inkscape-devel] Powerstroke requests
Awesome! Some feedback of my own:
1) So powerstroke is now available from the shapes drop-down: Very neat! Can the "eclipse" form also be replaced by a powerstroke? It's actually the most common usage scenario.
Also, I recommend adding a separation line between the powerstrokes and "from clipboard", to show that they are different functions.
2) Cusp styles are currently either Beveled or Rounded. How complicated is the coding for an "Angled" option? For font designers in particular, thick powerstrokes using successions of angled segments render a bit strangely, when some may be hoping for sharp edges (Example: the letter A with a sharp top)
(I thought I suggested this before, but the mail never seems to have reached the mail archive...)
3) Does anybody think he might need an "assymetric" option?
4) +1 on the "Filled Powerstroke" (or whatever it will be called) option in the drop down.
As for manually setting the width value for powerstroke points, I suggest click-enter for a numerical box to appear near the point, for the user to input the value.

Hello again, here's some further feedback:
1) A way to directly set width values for Powerstroke points (or at least a command that sets the value to zero without having to directly edit the XML) would be useful. 2) I noticed the 'Triangle in' and 'Triangle out' shapes now use Powerstroke. Is there any chance we could get an extra shape option added to that drop down that produces both a Powerstroke and the clone original LPE at the same time. 3) Adding and removing Powerstroke control points should not require switching to another control and back to have them show up properly. 4) The 'Smoothness' control cannot be dragged (at least on Windows 7). Instead, it changes values by 0.01-0.03 (appears to be random) and then loses focus.
Regards, Aaron
Keep the feedback coming :) Be patient, the next 3 weeks nothing will happen on my side. Of course, there is always a chance that someone else jumps in and helps with the finishing touches. (yes, an invitation :)

The Ellipse shape is somewhat harder to mimic correctly, but doable. Low priority for me though.
Also, I recommend adding a separation line between the powerstrokes and "from clipboard", to show that they are different functions.
Thought of that too. Don't know how... (yet)

Highest priority. Already started working on it. The way I envision it will be kick-ass, but a tad complicated, so... (all other activity is most likely delayed until this is done :) Also, the rounded style is bugged and needs to be fixed. (perhaps a 2geom bug)
(I thought I suggested this before, but the mail never seems to have reached the mail archive...)
Yes you did, but I lost the mail :S
- Does anybody think he might need an "assymetric" option?
He would have to wait until all else is done.
- +1 on the "Filled Powerstroke" (or whatever it will be called) option
in the drop down.
Very easy to implement. If someone wants to help me out, add the creation of the dummy path, etc, to spdc_apply_powerstroke_shape in draw-context.cpp.
As for manually setting the width value for powerstroke points, I suggest click-enter for a numerical box to appear near the point, for the user to input the value.
Yep, perhaps on double-click?
Cheers, Johan
What interpolator type are you using? "CubicBezierJohan" ? If all use that one, I will have to rename it to something that makes sense. Unfortunately, this may break you current drawings (the name stored in SVG is "CubicBezierJohan", which is obviously not a sustainable name).
Sorry for that one :(
Ciao, Johan
That is the primary one I've been using, but don't worry about me :) If I need to go back and edit an older test drawing for some reason I can always just use an older nightly.

I just remembered this is why I put the [Experimental!] text in front of the name. ;)

Is it in an inkscape namespace? As long as it is I think it's a great name for it.
