Deformation Envelope LPE

This Project is part of a student project from Ecole Centrale de Lyon. (SVN : http://svn.eclair.ec-lyon.fr/ )


See this Mock-up for immediate understanding.

Main points are :

  • a. envelope effect (math)

Lib2geom provides good mesh-deformation. The toy "mesh-grad" is a good example.

  • b. envelope parameter UI (how to handle the control of the envelope)

The envelope may be a single path. But there are particular nodes : the first four ones. Johan: the sodipodi:nodetype attribute of a path determines the nodetype. you could add a new nodetype to specify the 4 special corner nodes. This way you can reuse all node-editing stuff that is already present in inkscape, with only tiny changes needed. Just having it as one (closed) path is nice, good idea!
