Beautiful work Alejandro!!! The only critique i got is that it feels more illustractor (3 clicks+ drag) like than the simpler Freehand interface (2 clicks-drag) (if i got it correctly ;) - finally a professional looking line graphic tool in Rev ;)
smooth animation too, im officially impressed! cheers Xav > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Alejandro Tejada > Sent: Friday, May 06, 2005 18:53 > To: [email protected] > Subject: [ANN] Pen Tool v2 > > Hi Developers, > > Download the stack "Pen Tool v2" from: > > http://www.geocities.com/capellan2000/penToolv2.zip > > This stack shows a pen tool similar to the bezier pen tool of > vector ilustration software. i'm working in the companion > three selection tools for this tool and integrating all my > previous work with vector graphics into one stack: "graphic tools v02" > > To start drawing, click on the button > "Set cursor to pen", then the cursor turns to the icon "Pen Tool". > > To start drawing, click on the empty space of the card. > 1- To start drawing a curved line, click on the card to > create the FIRST VERTEX POINT (sending a mousedown > msg) and while keeping the mouse down, drag the mouse far > from the point where you clicked (mousemove msg) and release > the mouse button (mouseup msg) to create the FIRST CONTROL > POINT... a red line appears with a bezier curve. > > Click again (mousedown msg) to fix the position of the SECOND > VERTEX POINT and move the mouse to shape the bezier curve > (mousemove msg) and release the mouse in any location to fix > the SECOND CONTROL POINT (mouseup msg). > > IMPORTANT: If you press the ALT/OPTION key while moving the > mouse to fix the position of the SECOND CONTROL POINT, you > get a THIRD CONTROL POINT that moves in sync with the second > control point... this third control point becomes the first > control point of a new curve that will follow the line you > are drawing. > > Click to fix the position of these control points. > Now the red line turns to a green line and you could repeat > the steps above to draw another curved line or simply click > and release the mouse button to draw straight lines. > > To close the polygon you put the cursor exactly over the > beginning of the line (You'll notice that the cursor changes > to a pen with a circle)and DOUBLE CLICK (mousedoubleup msg). > > You'll finish drawing anytime by double clicking in any place > of the card. > > Feel free to streamline this handler for your own purposes. > All i ask is that you keep an updated link to my website in > your website or the documentation of your software. > > Alejandro Tejada > > Thursday 5 may 2006 > > > > Visit my site: > http://www.geocities.com/capellan2000/ > > > > Yahoo!
