Perfect Freehand

<p>Turn vector lines into freehand strokes.</p><p><br></p><h2>Quickstart</h2><p><br></p><ol><li>Select the <strong>Pencil Tool </strong>(Shift + P).</li><li>Draw or write something on the canvas.</li><li>Select your pencil lines.</li><li>In this plugin, click the&nbsp;<strong>Apply</strong>&nbsp;button.</li></ol><p><br></p><p>To revert a stroke to its original shape, click the&nbsp;<strong>Reset</strong>&nbsp;button.</p><p><br></p><h2>Options</h2><p><br></p><p>You can use the plugin's options to change the appearance of a mark. See the&nbsp;<strong>Options</strong>&nbsp;section below for more information on each option.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Size</strong></p><p>Sets the base width for the stroke.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Thinning</strong></p><p>Sets the effect of pressure on the stroke's width.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Smoothing</strong></p><p>Reduces the overall number of points. A higher value will produce a smoother stroke.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Taper Start</strong></p><p>Tapers the beginning of the stroke.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Taper End</strong></p><p>Tapers the end of the stroke.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Easing</strong></p><p>Applies an easing curve to the line's simulated pressure.</p><p><br></p><h2>Tips</h2><p><br></p><p>You can continue adjusting a stroke's options after applying the effect.</p><p><br></p><p>Setting a negative&nbsp;<strong>Thinning</strong>&nbsp;value will cause the stroke to become thicker at minimum pressure.</p><p><br></p><p>In general, areas with more vector nodes will result in greater pressure and so a thicker stroke, while areas with less detail will result in less simulated pressure and a thinner stroke. To force a mark to be thicker, try adding extra nodes yourself.</p><p><br></p><p>If you'd like a better drawing experience—including real stylus pressure as well as better simulated pressure—try&nbsp;<a href="https://perfect-freehand-example.vercel.app/" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank">this link</a>, a demo for the&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/steveruizok/perfect-freehand" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank">perfect-freehand</a>&nbsp;library used by this plugin.
