Ellipse, trim and gap

I'm using a translator.

Hello,

LibreCAD is a great program, thank you very much for working on it.

I don't know if it is something normal of the application or maybe it has already been reported; however, I want to show with a short video something that occurs when making cuts on ellipses.

Best regards.

This is a bug of rendering, or visual artifacts.

We will fix it for 2.2.1 and later.

Hi usuario,

Thanks for bringing up this issue. As this is an important bug, the fix has been added to both 2.2.1 and the master branch (2.2.2). Earlier versions are not affected.

Hello Dongxuli,

Thanks, the aesthetic result now looks excellent, could you please try the semicircles with rounded ends?, as described in a past post [1]; likewise, added to the aesthetic aspect, it would be important that the area formed by the two semicircles and the two segments was a closed area, on which among other things we could apply a hatch.

Best regards.

The complexity to support qpen cap styles and join styles is pretty high.

We will see what can be done in 2.2.2.

Hello,

I understand; likewise, thank you very much for your amazing work in LibreCAD.

I pushed a fix to support cap style for arcs.

The basic story: we rely on the Qt framework to render primitive geometries, such as elliptic arcs, but Qt doesn't natively support elliptic arcs, while support ellipses.

The current solution:

Draw a complete ellipse;
Trim unwanted part;
At each end, draw a line segment of 1 device independent coordinate in length.

Hope future Qt versions will provide support for rendering elliptic arcs.

Hello,

When a circle or ellipse is cut, the resulting finish has very minimal visual imperfections.
Thank you for working in LibreCAD.
