<html><head></head><body><div style="font-family: Verdana;font-size: 12.0px;"><div>Hi,</div> <div> </div> <div>Ethan asked for old annoyances in gp that could be changed with 5.0 some time ago, and was just remembered of one that´s been bugging me for years from time to time.</div> <div> </div> <div>Pointtype 3 in most terminals (emf being the notable exception) is just a superposition of pt 1+2, so it completely hides them if put at the same position. I´ve looked at an old plot of mine, and thought "i know these points should be at the same position, but are two of them even there?"</div> <div> </div> <div>So a six-arm star would add to logical plot clarity, plus it´s less ink on the paper (improving optical clarity) , plus vector graphic files would be (marginally) smaller.</div> <div>Drawback would be bad looks without antialiasing.</div> <div> </div> <div>Any opinions on this? Should it be done, and if yes for 5.0.0?</div> <div> </div> <div>Best, Karl</div> <div> </div> <div> </div></div></body></html> |
