crosswalker Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Hey, Just a suggestion. I occasionally use another image editor for different effects and it recently implemented a symetry drawing tool. Basically what it does, is let you set a number of repetitions, a style of symmetry(circular, tiled, straight line, etc.) and then whenever you draw, with any tool, it copy's what you draw in real time based on the settings that you entered. I don't know how hard this would be to do, but it can give some really cool effects and it's fun to play with. crosswalker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaveN Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 The real time wont work I will tell you that, unless they integrate it into a tool. I still do not understand what you mean though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illnab1024 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Hmm...A virtual mirror? That would be hard to implement, though, I'm sure. And this is an awkward feature. Quote ~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crosswalker Posted August 25, 2006 Author Share Posted August 25, 2006 yeah, I'm not really expecting it to be implemented, I just thought I'd throw the idea out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoked Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 y not just draw something, copy, paste, and flip it around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gekko Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 I actually like the idea. Would be hard to implement, but its an interesting feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crosswalker Posted September 4, 2006 Author Share Posted September 4, 2006 @Stoked: You could do that. but compared to the method that this other program uses, it is painfully slow. I'm not sure how they do it. Closed source :-( I just got it because I sent in a bug report to them and they gave me a reg code :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
entY8 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Hm... something to make it symmetrical drawings easier to do would be great! I don't think it needs the realtime stuff (though that'd be cool ofc), but just a few more commands in the menus to make it easier. For example it is quite annoying to click yourself all the way to "flip layer horizontally", and then again to "flip layer vertically", since they don't have any keyboard shortcuts :? Also a few command allowing you to rotate a picture 180° around a point you can choose, or flipping it around a line you can choose. Probably just a few more ideas for your could-be-implemented list :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
