Re: [[email protected]: Suggesting new feature for Pencil Tool]

Mc, Patrick and Myself had a look at the feature (it has an easy to use
python Qt5 demonstration that worked easily on Ubuntu 18.04)

I've recommended that an animated gif demonstration be drawn up to
express the feature and warned that no new feature can be added until
after the freeze.

But it is a cool feature (having used it)

Best Regards, Martin Owens
