Node tool - Arc editing

Svg has lots of Funcions that we technically support but don't have GUI for it one of these is Arch paths. inkscape!694 (closed)

My proposal for arch editing ideas:

image

  • new node type that should with should be visual represented cith circle inkscape_MC0WN8H46v
  • Show all controls only after you select this new node (avoided clutter ) inkscape_MOfwzTHC8o
  • use eclipse model with 3 controls :
    • top (x size) + rotation
    • Side (y size) + rotation
    • center (position)
  • Try to predict most of the edges cases using this controls (auto - flipping)
  • minimize the need for adding commands into toolbar

to do

  • icons for helo type
  • icons segment conversion

All modifers are up for discussion let me know i f i forgot some edge case

my sources of inspiration

SVG with my sketches arch_editing.svg

Implmenation:

Honestly i think 80% of usefulness is to have one knot that controls size . that keeps perfect circle and flips when you cone to other side .

rest is just nice to have power user stuff,
