Just remember that this BETA and there is no UNDO. ;-) So always play safe! About smoothing, you are talking about the jagged edge of the graphics in the sample images: http://andregarzia.on-rev.com/alejandro/img/Gradients06.jpg Actually, I use a "resolution" of 32 points or segments for every bezier segment. This number appeared in a MacTech article from long time ago: "One strategy for implementing Bezier curves is to divide the curve into a fixed number of segments and then to pre-compute the values of the weighting functions for each of the segments. The greater the number of segments, the smoother the curve. (I’ve found that 16 works well for display purposes, but 32 is better for hardcopy.)" http://www.mactech.com/articles/mactech/Vol.05/05.01/BezierCurve/index.html In this image, you could notice the notable difference between using 32 segments to draw a bezier segment and using 256 segments to draw the same bezier segments in a copy of the graphics. http://andregarzia.on-rev.com/alejandro/img/BezierResolution_32_256.jpg It's easy to change this resolution in the script of the stack penTool0.3.2h, only if you are ready to see a extra large dose of spaguetti code... http://deviq.com/Media/Default/Article/spaghetti-code/SpaghettiCode.jpg Here is how: In the script of the stack "penTool 0.3.2.h" change the line "put 32 into zdt" for "put 256 into zdt" Compile the script and save the stack. To redraw graphics imported or created at 32 segments por curve, at this new 256 segments resolution, click on the graphic using the White Arrow tool from the palette. Then to deselect the clicked graphic, doubleclick anywhere, (except over other graphic) This is the "Edit Selection Tool". Hopefully, Ian McPhail will update his stack SVGL to import gradients and transparency from SVG drawings. Only then, it will be possible to design confortably complete interfaces using only vector graphics with gradients and transparency. Inkscape could export drawings as JavaFX and SilverLight XAML: http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/File-Export.html Maybe these two vector formats are easier to convert in LiveCode vector graphics.
