spiro and freehand path with images and groups

[Jabiertxof]

I think coul be useful to made whith paths or images from clipboard like skeletal strokes allowing pressure and more free

It's impossible to decipher what you want. You'll have to give us a better explanation of what you need.

[Jabiertxof (jabiertxof)]

is for in the node tool on paste from clipboard add the posibiliti to add images and more than one group for natural media painting.
Hi.

I think this is virtually impossible to implement in a vector oriented graphics program like Inkscape. This should be a task for a bitmap oriented drawing program like illustrator or gimp.
Hence, proposing to close this request.

Hi Kriss, look if you want to this software vectorial (windows, previously mak) 3 download point working for the "free full equiped" versión .

One maior feature is Skeletal Strokes and they do whith images and full groups of objects. You need to convert first to "Skeketal Stroke" to use.
Hi, Javier.

[Kris (kris-degussem)]

I'm sorry, but this kind of application is in my opinion note in the scope of Inkscape's users base in general.

[Jabiertxof (jabiertxof)]

I dont undertand well, im not english. are you agee or not whith this feature?
I think you say no, and sorry, but is very powerful to draw from tecnical to artist staff.

With some previous design of a stroke you can simplify some draws hours of creation and give it better look.

For example, i need to draw a Shoe.
I develop 4,6,8, - more beter- realistic points of yarn and make de stroke for repeat. each point is a group of shaded lines to fit a real point of yarn, the artist decide the level of detail.

Now instead of duplicate+move+turn point by point the artist only need to contourn all pieces of the shoe.
It could be ok for strets,repeating ornaments, logotypes..., or if the user use a bitmap can do too much more artistic staff.

A tecnical drawer can drew for example 3 paralels lines with a intersection in each 20mm. whith only one stroke.
or create a stroke who draws exacly 10mm over and see all this while drawing.

A lot of the staff of powerstroke can be used, can be used too pessure to give random/distance/color... to the stroke.

Hi, Jabier.

That's correct. I am not positive for this feature in Inkscape.
But ... I also agree with you that it is very powerfull for artists.

I only fail to see how it could be included in a nice way in Inkscape.

Intento a describirlo en español.

Creo que la idea es una idea fantástica y útil en general por mucha gente, por ejemplo para los grupos que designas.
Pero en mi opinión es algo que no tiene un lugar bueno en la funcionalidad y la interfaz de Inkscape. Y según mi conocimiento del código fuente de la programa, será muy difícil programarlo también.

Very clear thanks!!! But please dont mark for close, any body or maybe i accept the challenge.

I do a experiment: I create a gruup of diferent paths (all breaked) and aply the curve live effect to the group.
Before draw a curve line with pen, and go to source.
Get the "d" attribute from the last line for copy.
Go to the filter apiled to the group and put the content of th d curve info inside the bend path of the curve.
And relativament easy i have s svg skeletal stroke from a pen based input. For images no posibility for now because no drestructibe warp are create, but whith some of the code of gradient mesh, can be done non destructive warp mesh and maybe it coud affect to the images and vectors. and implement a full skeletal stroke staff, repeating thik isnt mayor problem.

The first step could be with vectors....

What about this?

Best regards, Jabier.

OK. Feel free and let your imagination and ethousiam go for a run. :-)

PS: I can not discuss details of the functionality right now.

[Jabiertxof (jabiertxof)]

Thanks, you are welcome.

[Jabiertxof (jabiertxof)]

Added a branch, no presure but...

Merge lp:~inkscape.dev/inkscape/bendFromClipboard into lp:inkscape but it not close the bug/feature request
