Ropey Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Hi Maps often use lines with different colour and pattern edges - eg, a red fill with solid black edges for a highway, red with one solid and one dotted for a secondary road, etc; blue with dark blue for a major river, blue with no border for a dry or seasonal river. Assuming no one has created one already (I did search!), how easy would it be for a technical person to create such a tool? I am picturing options for width; fill and edge colours; edge styles. Would anyone be willing to take on the task, as I am not such a technical person? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HyReZ Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Greetings Ropey,Sometimes cartographers will use patterned or textured lines to represent what you described.I have created a tutorial screen capture that shows a basic way to do that using the out of the box features of PDN. (See Below) The PDN forum member; null54; has developed plugins that will let you take that to the next level: Here is a link for a Paint.NET plugin that lets you use Photoshop Brushes ( https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/25792-photoshop-brush-filetype-2018-12-23/ ) Here is a link for a Paint.NET plugin that lets you use Photoshop Patterns ( https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/25696-photoshop-pattern-filetype-2018-12-25/ ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ropey Posted January 28, 2019 Author Share Posted January 28, 2019 The Neutral Wire zip contained a single .dll. Which folder should that go in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
