[Therion] Graphic tablet with XTherion

2021-08-08 Thread Bruce Mutton
After many many years XTherioning with a mouse, I think I might try a graphic tablet for drawing with XTherion, and maybe soon, Inkscape. Do I need anything fancy, or will the simplest do? One of these? https://www.huion.com/pen_tablet/Inspiroy/H430P.html Bruce

[Therion] Some metapost symbols defined so they cannot be scaled

I've just noticed that some metapost symbols are coded so that they ignore scaling options xs, s, l, xl. For example point dig is positioned but not rotated or scaled. def p_dig_UIS (expr pos,r,s,al) = U:=(.4u, .5u); T:=identity aligned al shifted pos; thfill

Hi Roger As Tarquin mentioned, it is quite easy, although it may take some work to convert an existing project. I only export one extended profile shape per compiler run, but it might be possible to export multiple profiles per compile - conceptually it should work, maybe there is some detail
