Line constrain in xy ratio

[Kinwailo]

Draw straight lines with constrain in 2:1, 1:1, 1:2 etc

[novhack]

Could you please describe this feature request in a little more detail?
It's already possible to draw a straight line constrained to 15 degree increments by holding Shift + Ctrl and I'm not really sure what you are suggesting.

[Kinwailo]

A straight line constrained to 15 degree is draw as 4-4-3-4-4-3...
But in pixel art, we usually want a line draw as 2-2-2-2 or 3-3-3-3.

[novhack]

Oh, I think I get it now. You mean lines like these, right?

[Kinwailo]

Exactly.

If we added an option in the Preferences to let the user change the the degree increment value, will it solve this issue?

[novhack]

2:1 is 26 degrees, 1:1 is 45 degrees and 1:2 is 74 degrees. Letting user chose an increment would not solve the issue. It would be better to have just two options in preferences:

• 15 degree mode
• 2:1, 1:1, 1:2 mode

For comparison Aseprite and Pyxel Edit only constrain lines in 2:1, 1:1, 1:2 so I would rather default to it to not confuse new users.

Would something like this work?

Edit: It wouldn't work, I misunderstood

This is resolved in #281 right? Should we close the issue then?
