Hi, These two distance thresholds were initially added to avoid having really closely spaced points.
IIRC, Manhattan distance was really meant to avoid having situations where drawing in a straight line (this was before the straight line tool) would end up adding too many points (i.e. smaller jitter/hand-shake would be eliminated), while Euclidean distance would get rid of cases where the mouse hovered over a spot for a while but only just bumped a bit. Originally both were just hardcoded, but later I found that different the sensitivity for some people was too extreme for others. Hopefully this helps, Joshua On Thu, Jun 10, 2010 at 11:43 AM, Mike Erwin <[email protected]> wrote: > What is the purpose of grease pencil's Manhattan distance threshold?
