 | | LPub4 callout arrows vs. pointers
|
|
I've been working a lot on 4.0.0.2. One of the changes I've made is to replace the callout pointers (the triangles), with arrows. The arrow color is the same as the callout border. You will have choices on arrowhead dimensions and shaft thickness. (...) (16 years ago, 18-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Sounds OK. Any chance to see BOM back in this new version? Philo (16 years ago, 18-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I was done with feature additions, but that is kind of a feature restoration, so I'll work on that now. Thanks, Kevin (16 years ago, 18-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)

(...) No, sounds good to me! (...) Very nice! I've been playing with LPub for the past month or so. While there are a few bugs that I have run into, the program has been amazing to use! Philo's comment about the BOM is well taken - and I am happy at (...) (16 years ago, 18-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)

(...) No, but it'd be nice to see an example. Will it be possible to have bends or corners in the arrows? Jim (16 years ago, 19-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Yes, of course, but not in this next release. Sorry. I'm guessing that hearing this is a double edge sword for you, because in the past, you've taken most every LPub source code update (hint: www.sourceforge.net) and test driven it for me. I (...) (16 years ago, 19-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I'd be happy to test it for you too. Can you send me a compiled executable of LPub? Just mail it. (...) Merry Xmas to you all too! And Kevin: once again I thank you! (16 years ago, 19-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)

Great news Kevin! I too would like to see the BOM back. And it would indeed be so nice to be able to add corners to the callout arrows. Perhaps even a line to the next page? On the other hand, I like the pointers as they are now too. If it is (...) (16 years ago, 19-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)

(...) These are great ideas and on the list of todos, but they will have to wait for some future release. I've always assumed that LPub would support the double page concept so that you could have arrows cross pages, but thats going to take a lot of (...) (16 years ago, 20-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)

(...) LOL. And if you had not asked, someone (me :-) would have asked after the next release to re-integrate the old style pointers. (16 years ago, 20-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)
