What's new in Crochet Charts 1.2
Sep 28, 2015
- Open source: Crochet Charts is now completely open source!
- Improved stability: The stability of the program has drastically improved. The program now rarely, if ever, crashes.
- Properties window: The properties window provides context sensitive information about the current selection and allows you to change certain properties of the selection.
- More export options: Extra export options, allowing you to export only the selection and the ability to add a header and/ or footer to the exported chart.
- Full coloring options: The foreground and background of stitches can now be fully colored using the color edit tool and the pattern colors tab.
- Full text support: Using the properties window, the font and size of an indicator can be edited, which allows for the user to write instructions, copyright notices,.. in the chart.
- Image support: It is possible to add custom images to the chart.
- More selection methods: Box, lasso and line selection are available. These make it easier to select big groups of items quickly.
- Updated copy, mirror and rotate window: The old mirror and rotate window now has an extra option, copy, which clones and moves the whole selection. Mirror now properly mirrors the selection, rather than rotating it.
- Align to grid: A square, round and triangular grid can be shown, and all items will automatically snap to this grid. This is useful to exactly position elements in a chart. Snap to angle makes stitches automatically rotate towards the center in a round grid.
- Layers: A chart can be divided into multiple layers, making it easier to organize big charts and work with overlapping elements.
- New file format: Crochet Charts now internally uses another file format. Because of this, charts created in this version can't be opened in older version of Crochet Charts
- New method of calculating rotation and scale: The application works with rotation and scale in a completely new way. Everything can now be rotated and scaled arbitrarily, without deforming the stitch or making it jump around the chart.
- More options: More options have been added to the application, allowing for more customizability. Among those options are the ability to rotate and scale around the center of a stitch, and the ability to center stitches on the mouse when pasting.
- Resize window: A resize window allows you to change the size of the chart.
