Great script. I think I would also like ESC to end the 'curve' at the last set point.

And I think the whole auto-weld, auto-fill, sharp-corners options might be required (in ver 2.0)

Good Stuff.

[KuzKuz]

Thank you! Yes, I plan to develop this tool further. I'm also thinking about Bezier mode, like Photoshop's Pen Tool.
Auto-weld and sharp-corners are already working via shortcuts. How important is it to have them as options on the panel?

[SuperSGL]

Looks great very much needed! Should be standard in the next version of Moho. Being able to click and drag to create the curve your looking for would be nice too, that would definitely become bezier though.

KuzKuz this script is brilliant! You just made the Moho drawing tool even better!
Thank you so much once again and take care over there.

Cheers

Wow! Eugene, Moho just gets better and better thanks to your incredible scripts!
This is exactly what I was missing from using other drawing software.

Thank you so much for sharing this.

I would love that!

you are awesome . it's absolutely needed. especially when we use pen to draw. also ctrl usage in default tool is painful , you bring it to life. thank you again for sharing this.

[Daxel]

Great mod! And yeah the peak shortcut (ctrl) works much better here than in the original tool.

The original has a big flaw: when you are going to create the next point and hold ctrl, Moho doesn't seem to activate the peak mode until you move the mouse a little bit before adding the point (if you look the path you can notice the slight change in curvature when you move the mouse that indicates that the point you are about to add is going to be peaky). So many times the user holds ctrl without moving the mouse and the added point is normal. That should be fixed in the built in tool.

It'd be cool to have a option where right click acts as a enter button as well similar to CACANis way of handling it.

Edit:

Also is there any way to get the vector to automatically fill in the stroke so we can see the stroke be filled in per click or that a bigger limitation with Moho itself? Like basically the stroke is created during each click so we have a actual preview of the line while adding more points.

Thanks to the Great Developer of this scripts
Great script. has made me love drawing in Moho.
a little feature i would request for a version 2:
ability to change the line that is dangling ( the line that has not been clicked down) from curve to straight line
Thanks for your efforts

as far as I know right click not available through scripting.

Version 2.0 is released. The link in the first post is updated.

[Greenlaw]

Wow! MR Curve 2.0 is fantastic Eugene!

In the short time I've been using it, it's already become a game changer for the way I draw in Moho. For point-by-point drawing, this is so much faster and more fluid than using Add Pont tool (and I'd gotten pretty good with Add Point over the years.)

Thank you so much for creating and sharing this tool.

[JoelMayer]

This is basically what the default tool should be like! A modern and fast way of putting down points. Thanks a lot Eugene!
