Hi everyone, I'm new to the list.
I'm an origamist (what? yes thats right). Hopefully one of you does origami as a hobby and so is familiar with names like Robert J. Lang, John Montroll, Satoshi Kamiya etc. and so also are familliar with origami diagrams.
Attached is a page from one of my first full diagrams. In total its 12 pages long. It takes quite a bit of time and effort to make these with a high standard of quality, but it would certainly take less time if I was able to customize my documents, just to make things a little more convenient.
I'm just gonna throw out a bunch of items. One or two of them may have been addressed already on this mailing list.
Rotation snap. Inkscape seems to give many options for this. 7.5, 15, 30, 45 etc. It seems it wouldn't be too much trouble to be able to input a custom value. For me its usually 22.5.
*Something like "styles" Its annoying to constantly have to input different values into the fill and stroke window. I should be able to just chose a preset style, that would for example, make the line .8 pt with a dot dash stroke. Then another style that is 1 pt, and has an arrow end marker and a solid stroke pattern etc.
*Different arrow heads. I tried to find this out on the wikipage, but couldn't. How do I customize arrow heads? Different size maybe (I think they're too small) and also a different shape that I have in mind.
*Something like an image palette. How can I draw little images (you can see the kind that I mean in between step 5 and 6 on the attached doc) and have them easily accessible, so I don't have to go through old documents and copy and paste, each time I re-use them (which is often).
I'm sure you know the feeling that you can never remember all the problems you have, but once you encounter them you remember again. Well these are the things that I remember now. Hopefully you'all can help me out.
Best, Seth Friedman
