Re: [Inkscape-devel] NEW: calligraphic tremor

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.

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! :)
If you don't want to do the entire screenshot, but if you have any interesting, neat, or funny drawings or sketches (no matter how small) made with Calligraphic pen, please send me the SVGs. When I have enough good ones, I will assemble/compose them into a screenshot with full credit to the original authors.
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! :)

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.

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?

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.

Yes, or just 2 screenshots :)

We already have an old one on calligraphy proper (i.e. letter-writing). Now I think we need to cover drawing, not writing with that tool.

Sure.

I think we can create and start filling the 0.44 screenshots page, and your screenshot can be first :) The only reservation with regard to UI is that I'd like the shots to not show the docked palette, because of the size issue and menu button issue that Jon Cruz has not fixed yet. When and if these are fixed, we'll do a separate screenshot showing the palette.

I'll see what I can come up with. :)

That's what I thought but wanted to make sure I didn't run with an assumption.

Palette is hidden. Here she is for the outline view, we may want to re-save as a jpeg *shudder* due to size as it's 1.6megs... and I'll probably regret posting this link ;) http://www.scislac.com/inkscape/inkscape-0.44-view-outline.png
Is there anything else you would like this to show or anything you'd like for me to change? Any additional info you want/need?

Very cool - nice upgrade. When you get this into a stable release along with the svg tiny export, I will be able to switch entirely to Inkscape.

Lo all,
LGM was good for us, but it is sure that users have often to few examples of what can be done with the functionnalities. i'm aiming to work on that with Inkscape as i did for Scribus : http://www.le-radar.com/articles/scribus/pdf/ReleaseNote133.pdf .But it's evident i won't be able to illustrate all new stuffs. May be we should add a page on the wiki for that. But anyone can contact me directly. If i could be informed of releases some days before, it could help.
