Grease Pencil Draw Transform
Use case demo by Daniel Martinez Lara on this link : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ino4Njemtds
Use letter-keys like modifiers combined with left-click on a stroke to trigger transform:
G : Grab R : Rotate
S : Scale E : Pinch
Note: the 3D pencil and letters display
have nothing to do with the add-on, there are only in the video/gifs to
better show where the cursor is.
Usage
Once the transformation has started you can release the modifier key, transform keep going while click/pen is pressed
Pressing Esc during the transformations will cancel back to original position.
Those keybinding can be customized or disabled in add-on preferences.
At the end of the transform, stroke reproject itself on the canvas.
Check that you have wanted canvas draw-settings.
Pinch Tool:
The most useful tool of the set.
While active, Keys 1 and 2 top row numbers can be used to reduce/augment influence radius.
Radius default value, influence display, presets and behavior can be tweaked in addon preferences.
Influence propagate along the line, so only the part you pinch is affected! :
Pinch influence falloff is different when triggered in the inner part of the line or close to line tip for easier stroke tweaking:
Stroke Delete:
Directly pressing X delete the closest stroke from cursor, useful for quick cleaning
Slide Tool (0.9.0 update):
Pressing W + click drag to change the length of the stroke.
Smooth Tool (1.0.0 update):
Press Shift + S to Resample and Smooth closest stroke from cursor (continuously for auto-repeat). Useful for extending and re-sculpting strokes.
