Bezier handles color

[davoodice2]

hello
is it possible to change color of handles and shape or color of handle Points?

[Greenlaw]

AFAIK, no, but that's a great idea. Currently it's too easy to confuse a handle point with a curve point, especially when they're close together and on or near a curve.

Even if the handles were a different shape it could be easier to work with. For example, a diamond, circle, anything but the same square shaped used for a point. Or, if it must be the square, maybe a filled square for one and and empty square for the other?

[Daxel]

Yeah I like those ideas. Something easier to distinguish at a glance would be nice.

Here's my version of the curvature tool with some extra options and a different handle look:

• LK_Curvature

It also works with color points set with LK_SelectPoints:

• LK_SelectPoints

awesome.it's exactly what I want. thank you very very much.
is there any way to implement it in point transform tool?

[Greenlaw]

Nice! I'll check it out today Lukas!

[davoodice2]

I think you forget to put some icons in archive.

[Lukas]

You're welcome, I needed it too.

Yeah, you can move those icons into the FO_icons folder, sorry. I removed them for now.

And yeah, I've also modded the transform points tool to display the colors. I'll upload it when I've got time!

It's a great tool. I'll wait for you to upload it with the right icons.

Icons are there now, thanks to Stan fixing an issue with the site so quickly.

This displays the custom bezier handles and color points in the transform points tool:

• LK_TransformPoints

(removed link, delete this tool if you use it and update your LK_Curvature version instead so it works with the standard transform points tool)

Also, now I'm uploading all these anyway, this is useful as a button if you use LK_SelectPoints to create Shy Points, so you can create a shortcut for toggling their visibility:

• LK_HideShowShyPoints

Lukas,wouldn't it be possible to combine LK_Curvature, LK_SelectPoints and LK_TransformPoints in one tool? Or at least two of them?

I agree especially the Select tool has a lot of functions that are not about selecting, at all, and more about transforming. I could move some stuff around, but am not sure if there's enough ctrl/alt/shift combinations available to actually merge tools without losing features. I'll think about it.

I did fix a bug mentioned here: http://www.lostmarble.com/forum/viewtop ... 25#p205225 LK_Curvature is updated, LK_TransformPoints still has the bug, but will be fixed soon.

(edit: Fixed and updated LK_TransformPoints too)

I liked them a lot, but the problem is taking up a lot of space in the tools palette. Unfortunately the moho still does not have the drop down combination as we have in other programs, where we can put two or more tools together. Another option would be to close a group drawer if we double-clicked the name, for example in draw (or any other group we created). I hope that in the near future the move will change its UI. Imagine being able to make a panel with all the tools on a second monitor? It would be a great!

I understand. I updated the LK_Curvature tool, now it will overwrite the part of the original Transform Points tool that draws the handles in the viewport. So you don't need the custom LK_TransformPoints tool anymore, delete that one.
