Calligraphy pen functions differently for lefties - hackable?

Open Tridens92 opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

I've already made this suggestion to rM directly, but past experience tells me not to hold my breath...

My writing looks terrible with the calligraphy pen (and not just because my writing is bad) :) It appears as if it has to do with the angle the pen is tilted to the screen (which changes which strokes are registered as thick versus thin). This is true unless you're the kind of lefty that holds your pen with a 90 degree bent wrist, to avoid smearing the ink with the side of your hand. In that case, your pen to paper angle looks more like a right-handed person, and thus you wouldn't notice the problem.

To see what I'm talking about, just make a letter "O" or other letter that you're ambidextrous enough to form with both your right and left hands.

Is there any way the calligraphy pen can be hacked to respect the Left Handed or Right Handed setting in the Settings menu of the rM?

Thanks either way.

Unfortunately no, with which i mean that i can't do it within a resonable timeframe, but this would be trival for rm to implement.
