Hi, it's my first request. I didn't find any similar topic though. I had this idea with all my experiencing with Adobe Fireworks, and I made some pictures to show.

Maybe this can be called a "Brush Tool":

And this can maybe be a "Pen Tool" (it's the name of the tool in fireworks, it does not remember a pen for me, though)

I hope it doesn't confuse anyone, I'm not that good at english.

Comment what do you think~

First request: I could see it working. Add control points to a Catmull slider as you drag the mouse around. Would I use it? No. Catmull sliders look like crap, as do curves drawn with the mouse. (Just look at your examples!)

Second request: Kinda pointless IMO. The existing Bezier slider interface works almost the same way. You can (almost) do the other thing using red control points as well, although due to an unfixable bug, the later segments won't be the very same as the first.

MetalMario201 summed up what I was gonna say.

Seems you didn't understand what the precision means, it's to make the drawing a bit more smooth, better than catmull sliders' interface.
Yeah, almost. The second tool I'm requesting gives you more control to the curves and it's easier, in my opinion.

Can someone say what is IMO?
