PathUtils 0.1.2 =============== Tamito KAJIYAMA <8 January 2003> Introduction ------------ The PathUtils package is a suite of Sketch scripts for manipulating object paths. Using PathUtils you can easily cut and combine paths to make a different shape. The latest version of the PathUtils package is available at the following location: http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~rd6t-kjym/sketch/ Installation ------------ Copy the pathutils subdirectory and its contents into ~/.sketch and add the following line to ~/.sketch/userhooks.py: import pathutils Usability --------- This package is in a very early stage of development and the codes are quite immature. The scripts are: - very slow (efficiency is out of consideration at the moment) - imprecise (due to a curve approximation algorithm) - not intelligent (there are many special cases they fail) However, basic ideas of path manipulation have been successfully implemented. Obvious next steps are improvements of performance and intelligence. History ------- o Version 0.1.2 <8 January 2003> - Added another minor change to the README files. No change in the codes. o Version 0.1.1 <18 July 2002> - Added minor changes to the README files. No change in the codes. o Version 0.1 <15 July 2002> - The first public release.
