MagPoly tool: a simple interface to extend the functionality of the Polygon. It is purely 2D tool. No 3D extension is foreseen at the moment.



Tool is activated with the present Polygon tool. Then behavior changes according to dialog parameters.

|x|  UseMagPoly - turns the tool on.  Off = regular polyline.

"MagPoly radius":  the cursor changes to a semitransparent circle (similar to the paintbrush cursor). Radius specify the snapping seaarch radius - this way user has some feedback how far she should click.

|x|  Precompute slice edges (for slow computers).  - at the moment I plan to compute edges each time user clicks within the apperture specified by the "MagPoly radius".  Hopefully it will fill instantaneous on the mainstream computer.  Otherwise, with the tool on each time the slice would change, the internal edge layer will be computed.

"Edge Parameters" - parameters identical to the Texture Edge detector.


Additional parameters will appear later on.  F.e. more advance version would snap the curve between the user-specified Anchor points.
