Toolbar Bugfixes
June 02, 2019Today's update fixes several bugs with the new toolbar. Thanks to Ari for reporting a couple of these! I've also added an Auto Hide setting that will automatically hide the toolbar when a non-LNP active window gets focus, and a keyboard shortcut to toggle it manually.
Please don't hesitate to report any bugs or strange behavior!
Preset Toolbar!
May 31, 2019As more and more functionality has been added over the years, it has become increasingly annoying to dig through the preset list to find what you need. To help with this, today's update adds a much needed Preset Toolbar! This will help you quickly access your favorite presets without having to use the list or keyboard shortcuts.
The toolbar is fully customizable by editing a simple XML file. You can have as many or as few presets in it as you want, in fly-out groups or by themselves. You can even add overlay icons for scripts, as shown in the stock toolbar! The toolbar can magnet-stick to the sides of your monitor, and you can select between wide/thin and horizontal/vertical layouts.
A huge thanks goes out to Dave "LeDev" Montoya for ideas/testing/encouragement and a wonderful set of icons, and to Aaron Jakubenko for another awesome set of icons!

Cubic Bezier Ruler!
March 29, 2019Today's update adds a new ruler: Cubic Bezier!
This will help you draw more complex curves than what you can with the Quadratic Bezier ruler. Click here to learn more about it!
3-Point Fit
February 13, 2019Today's update adds a new fitting mode to the Ellipse and Bezier rulers called 3-Point Fit. For the Bezier ruler, this will let you setup your curve by clicking on where you want the start, middle (t=0.5), and end points to be. For the Ellipse ruler, this will let you setup your ellipse by clicking on the two sides of the major axis segment, and then a third time to define the degree.
The current normalized position on the Bezier curve is now connected to the scripting engine via the "dn" input variable. Its value varies from 0 at one end to 1 at the other. I've added a new script mode named "bezier auto pressure" in the pressure section as a usage example. It connects this input to the pressure output variable, which helps you draw bezier curves with perfect pressure gradients.
Quadratic Bezier Ruler!
January 18, 2019Happy new year! Today's update adds a new ruler: Quadratic Bezier!
This will help you draw precise curves, and effortless offset/parallel curves. Click here to learn more about it!
This update also adds a new option to the Overlay settings: On only for rulers. This is for people who have slow machines or very high resolution monitors with which LNP's overlay window may cause performance issues.
