gEDA-user: sloppy rupper band mode
Rubber band mode is (still) much too sloppy about the decision which
segment endpoints to move.
Imagine a short segment between longer ones like I constantly get because
of the metric/imperial nuisance. Thes almost never rubber move in a
decent way. Suppose a track looks like this:
_____
1 2\_____
3
If I drag the top corners at segment 2 there are two sensible rubber
modes:
a) Segment 1 and 2 stretch. Segment 3 stays in place.
b) Segment 1 and 3 stretch. Segment 2 moves a matching amount, no stretch
However, rubber band mode almost invariably chooses a third mode:
c) All three segments stretch.
This results in
/|\
/ | \
/ | \
/ | \
/1 2| 3\
This is rarely a useful transform.
