Bad shifting with Powerstroke

Postby Vectorman » Wed Jul 22, 2015 12:45 am

When I shifting my design with Powerstroke (Path Effect) collapsing all construction...

To Developers: Please fix it!
I suppose that is the coolest tool in Inkscape and must be developing!
For example, to draw with Calligraphic Tool by stylus and automatically generate
these control points in depend by pressing on the pen tablet... :)

Group the paths first, then skew the group, … or use preserved transforms (Preferences > Behavior > Transforms).

Off topic:
Powerstroke is somewhat similar to a round calligraphy brush. If you transform it's stroke, it no longer can be written with the same brush.
Especially in that serif lettering, it is originated in a flat brush calligraphy.
Catitch - The origin of the serif

If it's request time I would like to see something similar to kalliculator as an lpe first, which would fit better to that lettering style in your image.
