[1.9.0.767] Contour tool

[sfriedberg]

New crop of issues with the beta contour tool.

1) Instead of "px" the radius box on the toolbar now claims "in", but with a bizarre scaling factor.  Very, very roughly a reported "300in" is about 1 real inch on my 8.5x11 document.  My 15" diagonal 1920x1080 laptop screen certainly doesn't have 300 pixel/inch density, and the number displayed doesn't seem affected by viewport scaling (CTRL+, Z command).  Equally certainly, a contour width of 300 inches will not fit on a 8.5"x11" page, but I can fit multiple "300in" contours on such a page.

2) If you drag a contour far  enough (range of "1200in" to "2500in" in the attached sample document), a messed up secondary contour appears, clipped by the original curve.  I presume this is due to numerical issues in the process of approximating the contour curve.

Hi sfriedberg,

The first issue is a known one, it is actually giving a pixel readout, but showing document units instead of showing you the value in your document units. I presume you're document is 300 DPI hence the 300in when applying a 1 inch contour.

The second issue is something we're aware off that also affects really strokes with a very large width when applied to objects - it creates a gap inside the object.
