Ability to set stroke to none

[GoogleCodeExporter]

i don't see the option of eliminating the fill or stroke altogether. it
should be there somewhere.

PS: i have discovered that you are able to have no fill. but how about stroke of
thickness 0?

Christian,

This bug is not really valid.

It is not entirely discoverable right now, but if you hover over a palette 
square you
will see a tooltip which says that shift-click sets the stroke.  Originally we 
had
right-click for this but it was not very workable with Opera so we went with
shift-click.  I am ok with that except for the fact that it's not easily 
discoverable
by new users.

I am willing to keep this issue open if you have better ideas on how to fix 
this.

Another option is to start writing an online help document (that we can link to
directly).  However, I would like to try and keep SVG-edit from needing help 
files
this early in the game.  My goal is to keep the UI as intuitive as possible.  

As soon as users have to read through help files/tutorials to learn something 
we've
already lost half of those users :)

Btw, I don't think stroke-width of 0 is valid because you can simply set
stroke="none" (by shift-clicking the red x)

thank you for sharing the shift-click thing. my observation was not intended as 
a bug
discovery but more like a feature want. now you may close it.

Well, this is the third time this bug has come to my attention.

The first time was when I myself reported back at Issue 8 ! :)

The second time was on my blog:

ge/#comment-12926

So I think I'll leave this bug open until the UI has been addressed to my 
satisfaction.

Thanks!

I think what I'd like to see is a modification to jPicker that has an option to 
set
None color.  I'll raise this with Christopher Tillman.

Should have accepted it long ago, since I think this is a bug in the UI of 
SVG-edit
since setting stroke to None is not very easily discoverable.

IIRC, the next version of jPicker has 'none' or 'transparent' as an option in 
the
picker, so I hope in 2.5 when we upgrade jPicker this should be taken care of.

Also, it looks like jPicker 1.0.12 can be localized:
http://www.digitalmagicpro.com/jPicker/

So this should really be a high-priority thing to get fixed in 2.5

Ok, jPicker 1.0.12 was released: http://www.digitalmagicpro.com/jPicker/ that
supports "none" and localization!
