I have always wondered about the feasibility of a "shaper" graphic tool.
By "shaper" tool I mean a circular graphic which may be used to nudge a graphic line to conform locally to the shaper. That is, as the circle moves against the line, the line conforms to the circular shape of the shaper.
Imagine a string lying of a flat surface. Slide a circular disk into the string. The string will be deformed to the shape of the disk. (Well, not quite. The length of the sting is fixed; the length of the Rev graphic line is not fixed. Instead the number of graphic points is fixed. It might be interesting to try to keep the length of the graphic line fixed.)
This works by "pushing" the graphic points ahead of the shaper. (You can see this by making the Marker Points visible.)
This tool works poorly when the graphic points become widely separated. For most purposes, the bezier tools still work best for constructing lines with a complex shape. But some may find the shaper useful in some situations.
