GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 127785
stroking with size linked to pressure sensitivity should scale the spacing
Last modified: 2009-01-10 00:52:05 UTC
When stroking with pressure sensitivity linked to size, the dot spacing should be able to be scaled with the size. Scaling the dot spacing would mean that size scaling scales the entire stroke shape, and doesn't cause the shape of the stroke as a whole to change when pressure is light. I belive the correct formulation would scale the size with the diamater of the pixmap, but this probably requires experimentation to ensure that the stroke shape is unchanged.
I remember that I tried to implement this when I added pressure-sensitive brush scaling four years ago. It turned out to be non-trivial.
It presumes reworking of the interpolation code that at the same time should be made to use some other, nonlinear algorithm for interpolating stamp positions because in addition to messed up spacing and fast curve with a mouse will clearly display where the segments are...

The patch from bug 471344 has been committed. Closing as FIXED.
