flashx_454 Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 how about adding the ability to make and save vector images just a thought :!: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 I can't find it in the FAQ nor in the Popular Feature Requests thread... Last news on this were: Not gonna happen, Paint.NET is meant to be a raster image editor. Quote No. Way. I've just seen Bob. And... *poof!*—just like that—he disappears into the mist again. ~Helio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Like Pi Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Paint.NET was designed from the ground up as a raster image editor that works with pixels. Supporting vector graphics would pretty much mean reprogramming PDN fro scratch. You're much better off using a dedicated vector graphics editor like Inkscape.

david.atwell Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Yeah - I think Rick has probably said no. The only reason a program like Adobe Photoshop can have vector support is that they also have the code from Adobe Illustrator; including both is moderately simple. Paint.NET has no such code, nor does it need it. Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. 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.Amy: But how did it end up in there?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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman's Friend Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Well, maybe someone could make a plugin just to open vector graphics. Maybe with a window "How large do you want the picture?" as you can scale vector graphics losslessly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blooper Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 That'll be pretty darn tough :shock: Quote http://synthastic.deviantart.com http://soundcloud.com/siderealenterprise Lockerz invites are available, PM me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman's Friend Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 That'll be pretty darn tough :shock: That would be (...) :wink: Well, basically it's just reading and converting xml code, isn't it? I don't know, I think GIMP can open SVGs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe with a window "How large do you want the picture?" as you can scale vector graphics losslessly. Well.... you can do that, or you can just open a vector in Inkscape and export it as a PNG...

pyrochild Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Use the right tool for the job. Asking for vector support in Paint.NET is like asking hammer manufacturers to start including a screwdriver head on the end of the handle. Why would you need that, when there's a screwdriver lying right next to the hammer? 'Tis madness! Quote ambigram signature by Kemaru [i write plugins and stuff] If you like a post, upvote it!

usedHONDA Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 That's what they said when one noble man put an eraser on his pencil.... Just kidding. I'm on your side, pyro.

Yep, just because it's XML doesn't mean its easy. Neither Firefox nor Opera have full SVG support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
