Note: the resulting LPE object will automatically have its own stroke disabled, though power users can still add one via Fill&Stroke dialog. When LPE mode is activated, the underlying horizontal object is scaled so that its maximum height is this value, so you can easily control the width of the resulting object.
The resulting value is the width of the stroke (be it simple or a complex LPE stroke). Width control: you specify a base unit (ex.: 0.2 pixels), and with the directional keys you can multiply this base unit. Clipboard mode or Presets are accessed via drop-down. Pops up LPE dialog.Įxamples of what can be produced with presets: Drop-down: Single, Single Stretched, Repeated, Repeated Stretched.Ĩ. Clipboard items, however, retain their original fill and stroke settings (save for rescaling as defined by width and path length).ħ.This is because in most cases, the shape applied -is- to obtain an (advanced) "stroke", and if it has its own stroke it may cause confusion, especially because of overlapping use of Width. Note: when a shape is applied, both Line style and markers are greyed out and automatically turned off (though they can still be turned back on in the Stroke & Fill dialog).a few Presets, for those hundreds of pesky hair strands (more types to be added on user demand).Good for not having to clutter presets with temporary shapes. When a path is drawn, the selected shape is automatically applied to it via LPE. Pops up Fill & Stroke dialog, on Stroke page. Mouse-over: Advanced Stroke and Fill options. Mouse-over to drop-downs (line = none): Start marker, Mid marker, End marker.ĥ. S (mouse-over: Smooth) is disabled for Spiro.Ĥ.The new Spiro mode (possible icon: only Spiro nodes on a curve, as Spiro has no handles).The normal bezier mode (possible icon: add handles?).x (base unit)" allows for fine-tuning for thin lines.Width can controlled with the directional keys.This gives the width of stroke when no "shapes" are applied, and the maximum diameter of the shape when shape is applied (since the shape is often supposed to be a stroke itself). I've also included a few other proposals (bezier vs Spiro mode, access to dash and marker styles from toolbar) to show that they fit.ġ. When a path is drawn, the clipboard or preset shape is automatically applied to the path via pattern along path, allowing users to easily draw "complex strokes" and edit the direction.
