entY8 Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Hello everyone! Anyone got an idea how to achieve a perfect (that means: all sides same length, all corners same angle) hexagon (shape with 6 corners) in Paint.NET? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illnab1024 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Try using the shift key, line tool without antialiasing, and watch the status bar. Take the line tool (no antialiasing), press the shift key, and draw 6 lines from a common vertex (eg 400,300). Then draw 6 more lines to box it in correctly, then fill every triangle with the line color. cut of the excess and voila! A (Nearly) perfect hexagon.

entY8 Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 Yes, I tried it this way already... It works not that bad, but unfortunately i need 6 or 7 of those in different sizes and after shrinking it looks ugly A tool for drawing symmetric, "perfect" polygons with sides of the same length and corners with the same angles would be great (another idea for a plugin or another toolbar tool...)

entY8 Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 lol... got the problem solved now by creating hexagons in MS Word and transferring them via screenhot But this really is a thing Paint.NET should support... (in other words: "Feature request: A tool for drawing polygons (shift = regular, same side lengths and corner angles), at least up to 8 sides."
