Re: [Synfig-user] How the width tool works?

[Robert B Q. Jr. <da...@de...>]

The width tool was designed for the "tablet" workflow, which has not  
been fully implemented.

It provided a means for increasing or decreasing the width of a line  
much like you would with a pencil on paper. Since the tablet workflow  
was largely abandoned at Voria, we never used this tool much after  
implementing it.

If you would like to increase/decrease the width of a bline, I would  
recommend turning on the width ducks and using the normal tool to  
directly manipulate the widths.
