    Default Re: Some way to thicken the outside edges of a wireframe?

    I would still like to know how the "wireframes" were created and in what file format they exist.

    The original question posted does not reveal this information so it is really hard to give a accurate answer.

    Is this what Figs is asking?

    I bet Figs feels really welcome.

    Shame on you sledger and pauland.

    I'm not sure why I need to be ashamed, DD.

    Philm I don't think there are any shapes - the OP was asking if the software could analyse a raster image and deduce the outer edges and modify them. A kind of filter request, if you like.

    [ An apology - I misread the original request as a more complex task than it actually is - my bad ]

    If the OP is referring to vector lines Philm's suggestion looks good even though it's not totally automatic.

    Nowhere did he mention "raster".

    I definitely agree with the first and I definitely disagree with the second.

    If what he requires isn't available in any software he's looked at to date and we can provide him with a reasonable way to achieve it, I simply don't see the need to be so off-hand with him.

    Hello Figs, Welcome to Talkgraphics!

    If you could post an example of one of your more complicated drawings and show us exactly what it is you want to achieve it would help us help you How are you creating these drawings? are you importing them from a CAD program? or are you importing a raster(bitmap image) that you need to vectorize?

    Haters are gonna hate..
    I'd hoped that the OP would recognise a sense of humour when he saw one. Emoticons can only go so far and in this case the OP chose to take everything negatively
    If he'd have provided a sample for us to see, as I'd asked (this is a graphics forum after all and it is a graphics question) then his issue could have be better understood in order to know exactly what he requires.

    BTW: He mentioned he didn't want to be doing anything by eye (such as painting a background), from which it is reasonable to feel he is talking about a raster image.

    It might also be reasonable to feel he would or should have a sense of humour, but I guess you lucked out there too

    Except for standard application features that are specific and commonly used in graphics programs, most graphics applications in general don't automatically do anything. Design software is by nature designed to be manipulated for a large variety of results - allowing you to do pretty much any graphic thing you want. Programs that are automatic tend to be less versatile, limiting what you can do. Expecting "push button" results for any graphic program is pretty much a non-existent situation. Simple computer programs do things automatically, complex graphics applications don't - and for good reason.

    No, not when a new member asks a reasonable question and gets an unreasonable response. I bet he felt real welcome.

    Very good point.
