CDFG vs graphic design

Post by Crybaby »

Thanks for a great app!

Being a graphic designer, I realize my viewpoint may be in conflict with the intent of CDFG, its philosophical or methodical purity etc. Never the less, here are a couple of features that would increase CDFG's usability to me:

1) Arbitrary shapes. Whether it's in the form of manual polygon definitions or importing a vector- or pixel based image. This is the culprit!

2) Vector output (for animation). If I had a PDF file I could fairly easily remove one shape per frame, FIFO or reverse order, and get an animation of the growing shape.

3) Vector or coordinates output (to bypass 1). If I had a PDF or text file containing the position, angle and size of shapes, I could replace the shapes afterwards with arbitrary graphic elements. (Even better: if there was some way to identify different shapes, so I could replace different shape types with specific graphic elements.)
