Brushes & Screenshot Test

Brushes & Screenshot Test

This image demonstrates two new features in the works - brushes (Richard made a brush that draws Koch curves), and the new screenshot function - which can save screenshots at about 8000×6000 pixels. This could be an interesting feature for saving images for print. Of course saving out vector images is also on the roadmap, but this will probably still be a while.

I guess it will be quite important not to make the user interface of the Tagtool more complex when adding the brushes functionality… the plan right now is to connect a brush to the pen ID, so using a different brush means physically taking a different pen. The basic brushes we wanna implement are standard, calligraphic and a “paintbrush”, that can be used quite painterly, with more texture, without trying to emulate analogue paintbrushes. We got some inspiration from Caligraft.
