Also merged Wave & Line mode into one
There are tons of ways to make Cavalier look like shit. The question is can it look good with the setting in discussion? When thickness maximum value was increased, I said that in small window line mode with 40 thickness looks kinda like jumping cloud, and tbh I find this not very good looking, but okay, maybe somebody will like this. So I don't mind to keep it 40. But I will not insist if are sure it should be 30.
Love it ❤️ I was worried that modes list can become too long if a few more modes will be added, and you not only resolved this problem (at least temporary) but also made new feature to work with all modes!
I will make required changes in #35 when this PR will be merged, I will add |
|
Ah yeah, one more change. I think the offset should be increased with thickness, so when thickness is increased the space between elements keeps the same. |
|
Looks like I fixed everything, feel free to merge if you don't want to change anything |

Wait, I've still got some stuff to add, I'm still working on it. |
Also updated a description
src/draw_functions.py
Outdated
| step = width / ls | ||
| offset_px = step * offset / 100 | ||
| if not fill: | ||
| thickness = thickness * (100 - offset) / 100 |

I disagree with this change. I already made elements change depending on thickness (see lines 90-99 for example, when fill is off y coordinate and height are calculated taking thickness into account).

Thickness is set in pixels, so it's unexpected if it will change depending on something else.
But I like how in the last commit you changed in bars mode so when fill is on it just change thickness to 0 and one function is used no matter what in what state fill is, shorter and cleaner code.

The problem I was trying to fix was that if you put thickness to full, and then increased offset, you would see the blank space inside the element shrink to nothing, until it at some point grows again slightly

Like this.

I see another symptoms, elements start to grow and overlap eachother if both thickness and offset are big enough.
We need to fix it in some different way, without modifying thickness when the problem is not happening.

I found a fix for particles mode, I just limited thickness to not be more than half of minimum size of an element. I assume the same should work for other modes, going to implement it all and commit then.
EDIT: ah, damn, no, the issue from your video still can be reproduced. I guess offset needs to be limited too somehow.

Is it really so bad to use offset?
Yes. Thickness is in pixels. If a user set it to be 20, it should be 20, unless it causes problems.

Can you try again with my latest commit? It fixed it for me, but thickness calculation includes step & offset.

Well, we could also change the description of thickness... 😬

Or we can make it work properly :) I found a way to fix particles mode when roundness is 0, but when I increase roundness it doesn't work for some reason. I'm goind to find why and fix it
Bars also scale now when window is resized
fills/strokes less often now

@fsobolev Is there anything else you disagree with? |

Thickness is now limited in all modes. If you toggle between fill and stroke, no matter what are values of thickness and offset, you get the same shape. Roundness changes it if it's not exactly 0 or 1, because with increased thickness the actual size of element is changed and in result it's not rounded the exact same way, but I really don't think it's an issue, since basically the size is the same. |
