    Default Re: another new curve drawing tool - Ananya

    Well, I guess you need to watch the demo videos, because the new capabilities of this curve drawing tool are obviosuly complex. E.g.:

    1. it has a new curve model ("Ananya") that allows more flexible designs than previously possible (or with vastly more nodes on Bezier curves).

    2. the program gets rid the Bezier handles for good. .... And this applies even to Bezier curves. Obviously one can become very proficient using the standard handles; nevertheless they are the nightmare of any beginner and better options are beginning to emerge (both Spiro and this program use only "on-curve points", to adjust curves more quickly and far more intuitively).

    3. the program also offers some "restricted" curve models (e.g. conical curves, circular arcs) which are indeed interesting as they allow the easy drawing of absolutely regular curves and, through concatenation of such curves, complex geometrical objects. The options for these precise designs are perhaps CAD-like and are above the regular drawing vector tools.

    In my eyes a very interesting and promising approach.
