Doubts about open source projects
-
I'm not very familiar with your code developers. Inkscape is an open-source program, and there are many nice graphical effects that can be used. Does VS need any permissions or need to inform the other party when using these codes? @VectorStyler

that might clear things up a bit

@monsterfox Copying open-source code into commercial license is not permitted and it is unethical.
There are some open source licenses that explicitly allow use in commercial environment, but that is not the case of inkscape. In this case of course it would still be unethical.
But if you have some feature requests, then we can try to implement it.

@Subpath I roughly browse several paragraphs. It seems a bit complicated. It feels like it is protected on the contrary by the law. There are a bit more restrictions on using it. It's not very convenient.
-
@VectorStyler Please add these,These functions are used more.I haven't experienced all the effects yet. If there are any in VS, please ignore them.
-
@monsterfox I added these to the backlog as new features (mostly for 1.3)
-
@VectorStyler OK，Thank you，You've worked hard.
-
@monsterfox Which version of inkscape you use (I'm trying to match the screenshot)?
In order of red markers:
"Distort -> Pattern along path": this exists in VS. In the Shape Effects panel, select the Mesh -> Bend shape effect. The path of distortion can be edited with the second button of the panel. The third panel button will edit the variable width profile.
Ypu can also create an artistic or pattern brush from any object and apply it on any curve."Generate -> Tiling": this also exists in VS, the repeater panel can create tiling repetitions, but with more options.
"Generate -> Rotate Copies": the same Repeater, but select the Concentric geometry. Again more options.
"Convert -> Dashed Stroke": also exists in VS, setup a dash on a stroke and use "Object -> Shape -> Convert to Dashes"
There are other (not marked) features that do not exists in VS, that might be added in the future.
What are those tools with the bomb icon?
-
@VectorStyler The version used is 1.3.2. I'll try these points tomorrow and see what the difference is. At least on the surface, it can be seen that the rotation copy is different. The copy of inkscape is in a linked state with the original graphic. The original graphic can be modified in shape at any time, and the copy will be synchronized. During the editing process, the axis position can be dynamically adjusted, and the operation is more flexible.The bomb icon is an experimental new effect and there is nothing too special about it, so it can be ignored.

@monsterfox said in Doubts about open source projects:
The original graphic can be modified in shape at any time, and the copy will be synchronized.
This is also possible in VS, using object references: create a reference to an object (Edit -> Reference) and repeat that. The repeater parameters are dynamic and can be changed at any time.
