Hi,
perhaps before even talking about the data format, we should try to make
a list of features that we would like to see in a next generation brush
file format. Later we can look at the implementation details.
So let me throw some ideas into the air:
* grayscale masks
- more than 8bit should be possible
- allow different resolutions to improve scaling
* pixmap brushes
- should this be image + mask or rather an image with alpha channel?
- we also need higher bit depths and different resolutions here
* vector brushes
- just a set of default shapes?
- perhaps a subset of SVG?
* dynamic brushes
- based on pixmap and/or vector brushes?
- more or less complex instructions on how speed, tilt, pressure, ...
should affect the brush
Sven
