[ANN] Pen Tool v2

[MisterX]

Beautiful work Alejandro!!!

The only critique i got is that it feels more illustractor (3 clicks+ drag)
like than the simpler Freehand interface (2 clicks-drag) (if i got it
correctly ;) - finally a professional looking line graphic tool in Rev ;)

smooth animation too, im officially impressed!

cheers
Xav

> Hi Developers,

> Download the stack "Pen Tool v2" from:

> http://www.geocities.com/capellan2000/penToolv2.zip
> 
> This stack shows a pen tool similar to the bezier pen tool of 
> vector ilustration software. i'm working in the companion 
> three selection tools for this tool and integrating all my 
> previous work with vector graphics into one stack: "graphic tools v02"
> 
> To start drawing, click on the button
> "Set cursor to pen", then the cursor turns to the icon "Pen Tool".
> 
> To start drawing, click on the empty space of the card.
> 1- To start drawing a curved line, click on the card to 
> create the FIRST VERTEX POINT (sending a mousedown
> msg) and while keeping the mouse down, drag the mouse far 
> from the point where you clicked (mousemove msg) and release 
> the mouse button (mouseup msg) to create the FIRST CONTROL 
> POINT... a red line appears with a bezier curve.
> 
> Click again (mousedown msg) to fix the position of the SECOND 
> VERTEX POINT and move the mouse to shape the bezier curve 
> (mousemove msg) and release the mouse in any location to fix 
> the SECOND CONTROL POINT (mouseup msg).
> 
> IMPORTANT: If you press the ALT/OPTION key while moving the 
> mouse to fix the position of the SECOND CONTROL POINT, you 
> get a THIRD CONTROL POINT that moves in sync with the second 
> control point... this third control point becomes the first 
> control point of a new curve that will follow the line you 
> are drawing. 
> 
> Click to fix the position of these control points.
> Now the red line turns to a green line and you could repeat 
> the steps above to draw another curved line or simply click 
> and release the mouse button to draw straight lines.
> 
> To close the polygon you put the cursor exactly over the 
> beginning of the line (You'll notice that the cursor changes 
> to a pen with a circle)and DOUBLE CLICK (mousedoubleup msg).
> 
> You'll finish drawing anytime by double clicking in any place 
> of the card.
> 
> Feel free to streamline this handler for your own purposes.  
> All i ask is that you keep an updated link to my website in 
> your website or the documentation of your software.
