3-point editing of arcs

[madworm]

Thank you! That is a big improvement.

Suggestion to make it even better:

Arcs show 3 nodes, one for center and two for the arc itself. One of the arc-nodes exclusively changes the included angle, while the other one also changes the radius. To respect this difference, these two nodes should be visually different as well. Maybe use a square for one and a circle for the other.

On 2nd thought, it would be better to add a 4th node solely for changing the radius. That way each end-point of the arc could be adjusted without changing the radius.

Hi madworm,

That is a fine idea, but currently we need to focus on further subjects. Good, that it is stored here and tagged 'cern' (thank you Nick), so at one point when I will be reviewing the bug tracker, it will remind me of that improvement.

Regards,
Orson

Note that I think this should be 4-point editing: centre, start, end, radius.
