triangle preview #268

Open pkundrat opened 10 years ago

pkundrat commented 10 years ago

It was always confusing when drawing triangles - often they end up on the opposite side than expected (until you memorize it is created to the left of the line). It would be a bit less confusing if there was a preview (similar to perpendicular line or circle) - drawing triangle immediately after selecting the first point. It would be also nice to be able to switch the orientation (e.g. by pressing shift) - as if you start with the wrong point, it is a bit of extra work to fix it. Other approach might be to require 3 clicks to draw a triangle - 2 points + confirm orientation.

Concur. I suggested something similar, akin to the Circle creation tool that follows the mouse cursor. I like your version too, but I believe developer was unsure how to implement this enhancement.
