Regarding variable thickness lines
hi,
I am new to inkscape development . I'm not sure I have all the definitions perfectly clear, but I'll try to explain my query as well as I can. Is this functionality already exist in inkspace i.e to create a line of variable width which would allow us drawing curves but where each node could have its width set so that the line width changed from node to node.
I've also tried a couple of other vector graphics programs, such as Illustrator and Xara but this functionality doesn't exist.
Thanks a lot

The Powerstroke path effect does exactly this.

it doesn't; it does almost this (to my knowledge) but not exactly.
you do not have a control point per node but you have three control points per stroke with an enormous selection of variables

update: i was dead wrong
ctlr+clicking on any control point creates new control points Ctrl+Alt+click will delete a control point
Unlimited awesomeness is now within reach!!

Thanks, I didn't realize about Ctrl-click. Very cool. Maybe this feature should be more discoverable (perhaps a "Create new control point" button in the powerstroke dialogue). -Bryan

its mentioned in the status bar like tips for all other tools (im too confident with my shortcuts and turn the status bar off)

Hi all, (I haven't worked on powerstroke since lgm; I guess I worked way to much on it before lgm... hope you have patience...)
First I want to finish the math (output) of powerstroke, before thinking too much about the UI. Many people have not discovered the Ctrl-click on their own, so I guess the status bar message when hovering over a node is useless :-( But the ctrl+(alt+)click was just a stop-gap solution anyway, so feel free to invent another method of adding nodes.
I would be very happy if someone could work on the UI. For example saving and reapplying powerstroke profiles (the "offset_points" attribute of the LPE) is not hard, but is not just one evening of work.
ciao, Johan
