a comment if I may, the v1.3.5.1 release anouncement says "A new line editor for custom line styles" I wasn't too sure what this meant or how to use so I tried "line editor" and "custom lines styles" in Help, in Google, and in the scribus faq and wiki search nothing in help, and everything else only showed the release announcement.
So I haven't yet found a way to see detail or tutorial on what the above actually definitively meant or would provide. a suggestion and or question as how to go about suggesting it (assuming it hasn't already) I'm assuming the line edit and custom line styles all relate to the Line and Colours sections of the properties dialog? If so I have played around with that and basically I think established that I can create lines where the variations are limited to dots or dashes and to change the colour of the solid part only. Is that correct ? I tried to apply colour gradients and the like but it did not seem to have much affect? What I would like (and I know a number of others will want if we were to convince them of the merits of scribus) is a means to do more with the line more akin to "border art" in Publisher. So if it is not already possible would applying a "pattern" i.e. crosshatching or colour gradients be possible. Or maybe embedding at least one char or maybe a string of char from a spooky font (e.g. from wingdings) that can be repeated i.e. an asterisk or a star and that could be controlled like the line controls existing (e.g. four asterisks side by side a gap of some amount and then repeat the pattern four asterisks, space etc.) Is any of the above already possible ? Would it be a reasonable thing to add ? Is it the sort of thing that we could maybe look into coding and contribute ? K
