Humility Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Is there a polygon line tool plugin? You know you click one point and then another and a line is automatically created between those two points? Also if it creates a secondary window to work in that won't work for me. A simple no will do if there is not. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xod Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 You can try TR's SplineMaster plugin with setting for Tension = 0 but it creates a secondary window.http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/27512-trs-splinemaster-v142-a-line-maker-march-72015/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same can be said about ShapeMaker and I find it more difficult to use, also, the polygone's corners that it renders can be very sharp/pointy. I wish there was a simple polygon tool something like the line tool. In the mean time you can draw your polygons using the line tool: 1. Trace a line. 2. Do not move your mouse or remove your hand from the mouse. 3. Use the left hand to press enter on the keyboard 4. Very careful and with moving the mouse make a click to start a new line 5. Repeat and continue until you finish your polygon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eli Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I forgot about the polygon tool. But I do not use it because the corners where lines meet are not pointy. It is also awkward to use it, try to draw a star. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humility Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 (edited) Oh I did have it followed, why isn't it e-mailing me then. Hmm... Got it had to toggle a bunch of switches. Must be a result of the new forum. Edited August 29, 2016 by Humility Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
