Line Tool

    When using line tool with a 1px brush, the line created does not exactly match the shadow. It creates a second line of the element on top. I think it would be more helpful if the line created actually followed the guide.

    For example

    = is empty

    * is guide

    + is what actually is created.

    Currently

    ====*   ===++

    ===*=   ==++=

    ==*==->=++==

    =*===   ++===

    *====   +====

    What I want

    ====*   ====+

    ===*=   ===+=

    ==*==->==+==

    =*===   =+===

    *====   +====

    I think the current way is / was at some point intended. I forgot why ... I know for walls it was because of missing pixels, but i'm not sure if elements would also have the missing pixels in 1px lines.

    What is the line tool? The mouse + shift?

    I'd like the user interface to actually show off the real width of the drawn line. So if you have a 15px circle brush it actually makes two lines 15px apart and circle butts at ends to show the actual shape that will be created. For precision, or something.

    Well, for pixels it would be more useful to draw one line rather than draw one and erase one, or draw two the way you want instead of guessing with one.

     I agree entirely. The line tool is annoying because it draws those extra pixels.

    There is something that does this in feynman's mode, it's called art mode.

    Yeah, you can toggle it in the Settings menu. It also applies to lines that you draw freehand.

    Would it be fine to add it to the official tpt? I'm sure others would like that setting.

     

    @FeynmanLogomaker: I will check out your mod.
