SomeDudeFromSpace Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 If you have worked with Flash Pro. 8 you'd know what I'm on about. Anyway, its when you brush on a stroke, it doesnt look so uneven, it will straighten out, just like you'd draw it in the real world with a pencil, straight. Sorry if this isn't a good explanation.

Myrddin Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I've never used Flash Pro. 8, but I'm going to hazard a guess anyway: wouldn't the Line / Curve Tool ( :LineCurveTool: ) suffice for your straight lining needs? It also has the added bonus that you can shape the created line during the drawing of it, but it can do straight very well. Holding the Shift key while drawing will also snap the line to increments of 15 degrees which includes the usual 180 and 90 degrees.

BoltBait Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Also, very important, after you draw a straight line, if you RIGHT-CLICK and drag the nodes it turns into a bezier curve. THAT took me a long time to learn. Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomeDudeFromSpace Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 Also in Flash, when brushing a stroke quicker it makes it thinner, when slower it makes it thicker. And this results with a nice cartoon effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobofthedead Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 No no, I've used Flash at school with a mouse, and if you move the mouse slower, it makes the line wider than it would be if you moved the mouse quickly.

Myrddin Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I was referring to the fact that feature is available in Paint.NET but only to certain OS and equipment users, I by far don't doubt you that the ability is available in Flash.

Bobofthedead Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Oh, right! I didn't know that! Is there some way it can be implemented for mouse users?

oma Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 @BoltBait and @Myrddin. you both just opened up a new world for me. now i can get rid of that inkscape program I have so much trouble using. its been sitting dorment on my computor for ages. once in the blue moon I attempt a bezier curve with it. now this is much much easier for me to use. yes! i do love this paint.NET program.

Myrddin Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Oh, right! I didn't know that! Is there some way it can be implemented for mouse users? With my understanding coupled with that Flash has the same capability, I would say yes, it could be added. However, whether Rick feels the need to implement such a feature and whether he would see benefit to come from this is his prerogative, I don't know his views on adding pressure/speed sensitivity to mouse users nor know what he has planned so I can't make an informed answer. Rick, any opinions? Would be cool though. yes! i do love this paint.NET program. Yes it is! That feature has been very useful in the past and is an invaluable feature for Line Tool.

Bobofthedead Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 :? Iz confused... I can't say I speak mathematics... What's their practical function, and what's the difference between them and a regular curve? @ Ghost Ranger: I like the sound of that, it would be really very handy.

Leif Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I dont know about the mathematic. But try making half a circle with the regular line tool, and then the Bézier curve. The Bezier can do it in one line. But with the regular you have to split it into several single lines. At least, that is where I see the great deference. It is much easier to make smooth curves. It is an enormous help for drawing. Quote My DA: http://leif-j.deviantart.com/ -------------- Some people seek justice so persistent, that they will do great injustice themselves.

MiguelPereira Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Someone should make a thread called "Paint.NET Secrets" or something along those lines... I believe its called Help Docs. And I'm not being sarcastic but this would be the most probable answer from mods and Rick. But still Help Docs really are "Help"ful (really bad joke) Quote [The stock on my sig is a photo I took not a render from Splatter] [My deviantART][My Gallery][My Space] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I don't understand what the Bezier curves is exactly. I bet, if you looked in the help file, it would have a link that explains it perfectly.

Blooper Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Well, Wikipedia's explanation is quite complicated. Checking, BB. Didn't need the help files, but I get it now. Black line is for "regular" curve,red line is the bézier curve. Both have their "handles" at the same place.
