easy script request

I think that there is an option to create sharp corners (polylines) instead of smooth curves by default.abou123 wrote:could someone please make either a line tool or modify the original create shape tool to make it create lines?

I think the poster meant an open shape, not just two connected points.
Like this:
Not this:
Which is what you'd get with the Add Point tool since it only creates a shape if you "close" the line.
I know this is possible by using the Add Point tool then filling it and changing the line thickness, but an "Automatic fill without closed loop" tool would be useful, and probably easy to write.

I think it would create a lot of confusion. Each time you add a point to extend a line, it would fill the line again, so you would obtain as many fills as points you add.TheChewanater wrote:I know this is possible by using the Add Point tool then filling it and changing the line thickness, but an "Automatic fill without closed loop" tool would be useful, and probably easy to write.
I think right now it's very logical. As many tools in AS, you can find it weird at first (because AS doesn't use the Illustrator/Freehand/Coreldraw vectorial paradigm), but once you understand it, fill behavior get more sense, in my opinion.

it literally takes seconds to create astroke shape while drawing. As I draw my line and I'm ready to create the stroke shape, I just press the tab key then press U and hit space. Done.
Is it possible that the original request is for "auto stroke" on the add point tool? I often wondered why that wasn't in there.

but, vern, how the tool could know in which moment you finished to add points to decide fill? I think it should be filling the line each time you add a single point, and that doesn't sound too exciting. Other option is that each time you add a point it erase the current fill and fill the entire line again. That doesn't sound good either.heyvern wrote:Is it possible that the original request is for "auto stroke" on the add point tool? I often wondered why that wasn't in there.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't see another way.
