GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 79446
Ability to smooth lines drawn by ink, pen, pencil tools
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
It would be nice if there was an option which would make the lines drawn by the pen, pencil, or ink tools be "smoothed". By smoothed, I mean that any small bumpiness in the line would be removed. I believe Macromedia Flash (the program that creates flash files, not the browser plugin) does this... the reason they do it is probably largly because a smooth line is easier to define with vectors. The reason I think GIMP should be able to do it is because people want to be able to draw smooth lines and don't intend to draw bumpy lines. If this is unclear, I'd be happy to attach a couple screen shots. A good place for this preference looks like File>Preferences>Interface>Tool Options.
Although the description is a bit different, the same feature was already requested by Roy Katz in bug #55366. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 55366 ***
