Dedicated Eraser Tools

[pauland]

True erasers and lassos, magic wand tools, are bitmap tools. They are meant to work with pixels.

Edit:

At one stage processor power wasn't good enough to make a real-time eraser in anything but a raster-based image. Advancing processor power has made this possible for vector based artwork, yet the idea persists that it's not possible to have a vector eraser. Many existing vector programmes show this not to be true.
