I'm not sure if it is better to open a separate blueprint or not. Which is similar to what you're proposing, only this doesn't use interpolation between adjacent nodes, it just places an element on a specific node (or nodes if you have several selected). I'm thinking this tool could allow the user to copy a path or an object or group of objects to any node in a path. Expanding this would enable this effect, and opens up many other possibilities. There is already something like this, the "nodetypes" attribute, but it is too restrictive. This is very well doable, but would require a new "Nodepath" implementation that enables writing special values (preferably a struct) per node. To position a pink handle at exact coordinates, Shift+Click or ALT-Click on it, an entry box opens.To remove a pink handle, CTRL-ALT-Click on it.To add another pink handle, you can duplicate one of the existing ones with CTRL-Click, and then drag it away along the path.A pink handle can be dragged away from or closer to the center of the path to make the stroke at this position thicker or thinner.A pink handle can be moved along the length of the path to define where it should have its effect.When added, the Path Effect PowerStroke produces 3 additional pink handles that can be dragged around intuitively:.jegHegyĪs of inkscape-1.0.1 the implementation is different than what is described here. Perhaps Alt+drag a node to change the thickness?Ī combination of a metakey and the scroll wheel would be intuitive as well (with status bar message stating you can do that, of course). Graphical feedback could even possibly set different icons for nodes that are set and others that are interpolated. When a node is selected, you can see what its value is by the change in values in the number entry or by the state of the push button.Īdditionally, hovering over a node could show the value of a node. User selects a nodes or a set of nodes and affects values to those. Only the stroke-width property of the path is overridden, the rest of the stroke properties keep working as usual, when relevant. Then the user applies the LPE to his shape, it overrides the normal stroke rendering and allows custom line width at different nodes of the path. The user simply creates the line, it might for example be based on an outline.
This LPE allows a modulated stroke from manually entered values.įurther development could allow direct width reading from a pressure-enabled device. The proposed power stroke LPE is as follow: SVG source files: should be linked here soon. 5 Johan Engelen's implementation (0.48+dev) as LPEĪ PDF of Johan's presentation at LGM 2012 in Vienna: File:LGM2012 - Powerstroke.pdf.
