Anti-aliased lines


Arc

Recommended Posts

I was wondering if the Devleopers could make thinner lines for the anti-aliasing for rounded rectangles. y'know just one pixel thickness without it being transparent/faint. I've got the latest version of PDN so I was wondering if it could be included in the next upgrade.

It does seem that no matter where you start drawing, you can never get a 1 pixel width line.

I believe that Rick is using GDI+ for drawing shapes, so this is more a problem with Windows than Paint.NET. So, don't hold your breath waiting for a fix.

If you need finer lines, you may want to mix a rounded rectangle and a normal rectangle yourself.

That is true but I'm a comicer. Iuse .Net for effects and speechbubbles. And I did attempt the methoed you just suggested,but whenever I add tails and use the paintbcket tool to fill it, it covers my entire background in white. If someone can tell me a way round this, please tell me.

Try turning down the tolerance on your bucket fill.

And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.

The Doctor: You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it.
River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him.

Add the rectangle on a second layer with the blending mode set to 'Multiply' or 'Darken'...should work like a charm.

Another option is to click the :AntiAliasingOn: to turn it into :AntiAliasingOff: . The corners will be jagged, though. To overcome that, increase the size of your image using the Nearest Neighbor option by about 200-400%, create your shape with a width 2-4x the width you want, then resize it back down using SuperSampling.
