Live Path Effect mode

The options in the Live effect dialog give you control on bspline paths.

• Numeric input for weight.
• Steps with CONTROL snaps in node/handle editing.
• Ignore cusp nodes, affect to all other widgets changes and, for example, retain cusp nodes when you change the power.
• Change only selected nodes, affect to all other widgets changes.
• Show a helper path whith the final shape and the generated new nodes.

Perspective/Envelope

---

Extended video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjKGatyxTZ8

Apply both deformations by 4 points.

• Two modes, perspective and envelope.
• Apply on paths, shapes and groups.
• Apply on vector clips and mask

Lattice Deformation 2

---

Extended video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlK9L88_tWE

Add deformations by a mesh.

• Apply to paths, shapes and groups.
• Apply to vector clips and mask

Show Handles

Extended video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9ul_PR9XYo

A LPE version of Show Handles extension.
