I'd appreciate that, too. As Andrea has already said, we can certainly take some features from the Mask tool. :-) Sam On 14.12.19 11:17, Andrea paz wrote:

Wow! I have seen the demo. Very good. I would change the Off, On, Dbl labels to Off, AA, AA+ AA means AntiAliasing. Or, like in other pull down menu: <strike>AA</strike> (with a strike line on it) AA AA+ And, if possible, an hint when you are over it (Antialiasing). I would like to test it, and the new nesting feature, on a Ubuntu16.04-LiveDVD next days. If you can make a build for me, I thank you.

Anti-aliasing has been added to the Sketcher in the latest GIT checkin. A rough demo is at:

If anyone wants a static build to test, just let us know which distro and version. It is no trouble to create a build and testing would be appreciated. Soon there will be a Debian 9 and 10 static tar at: https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/testing

I agree and possibly would also like to implement presets of shapes,rotations and scaling (as in the mask tool).

Rotating and Scaling will be worked on (but not tomorrow on Christmas day). An attempt to add presets of shapes ended as a complete disaster as an attempt to port Mask presets was a totally different design. Decision was made to not add shapes because to make a square/rectangle/triangle and even a circle is trivial with just 3, 4, or 5 points (for a circle you just make a box using Line and then switch to Curve) while the programming time would be days.

Great improvments, thank you very much. I don't have much time these days, but at a first, quick test, it seems to me that the automatic keyframes don't work and the tooltip "Anti-Alias" doesn't work. When I have time I will do more in-depth tests. There's no hurry!

*Need HELP on this:*

- Color Picker: Default button is missed. I don't remember where and who but somebody have reported that issue.

Yes, preobraz/ugin reported this BUT we are confused and do not see the problem. Can anyone show how it used to work versus how it now works incorrectly? Phyllis wrote: "GG added Anti-Alias as a tooltip"

For me would be better Antialiasing or AntiAlising or Anti-Aliasing.

OK, will use Anti-Aliasing.

Off-On-Dbl option. Do you means Double for Dbl? Maybe, they would sound user friendly Off-Normal-Fine.

Yes, Dbl means Double. The reason it is Double and not Fine is because it is a Double line -- some people will not like that even though it looks better to me, instead of 1 pixel width, it is 2.

Andrea: Will look at automatic keyframes. The tooltip was not checked into GIT since it was a 1 line change so since you do your own builds, that is why you did not see it, but IgorB did.

In Timeline, RMB on an edit, choose "Bar Color..." option and near the X (cancel) icon should be there the Default button. Picture added to show, before and after.

Thanks for change to "Anti-Aliasing" in the tooltip.

Sorry for the late, Phyllis. GG and you had already seen where it was. IgorBeg Il 30/12/2019 18.54, Phyllis Smith ha scritto:

Thanks, IgorB for corroborating. gg just added a fix here locally just in time to make the builds.

do you think that antialiasing will be possible to implement?

It will certainly be a goal and since Sketcher uses Don Kelly's smooth lines, it may be a good possibility.
