Only you can answer that question. Why not try it and see for yourself?

Seems like something that could be a really interesting open source project.

I won’t be making this application an open source project, but thanks for the interest.

Apologies, Garry. I missed the 'headlines' which are clear as can be.... 

[GarryP]

Ah, that's okay; I thought I might have missed something important.

Haha, It is the app. One more question. is there a tutorial how to use it or just play around and create things?

For the user guide (with many examples), click the cogwheel and select 'User Guide' at the bottom.

lascivious1: As Hilltop said above, the User Guide is available via the Settings Page (press the Cog icon at the top-right of the window).
I didn’t expect anyone to need a tutorial after watching the videos and reading the guide, but if there is a something specific that you think isn’t explained well enough then tell me and I will see if I can make it clearer in the user guide for the next version.

Hi @GarryP,

Thanks for sharing these free tools. I also appreciate you for the videos that you have shared. I will try them out and keep you posted. 

[GarryP]

You’re welcome.
It will be interesting to see what you can create using the software.

[Rudolphus]

Many thanks, @GarryP, for these improvements! Glad to see this promising tool is alive. 

[GarryP]

You’re welcome; glad you like it.
I have lots of ideas for extra functionality and will be adding more stuff at some point, but I can’t say what or when.

Version 1.2 has just been released and is now available in the Microsoft Store.

New in Version 1.2:

Tracks Function – Create many types of rotational designs.
Routes Selector – You have a choice of the order in which most designs are drawn.
Colour Schemes – Seven new schemes.
New Shapes – Spikeys, Flowers, Rectelipses (Squircles), Quaternates, and path versions of other shapes.
Code Viewer – Improved viewing options.
Fields – You can now determine if the shape positions are automatically recalculated.

See the first post in this thread for examples and videos.

Thank you, @GarryP - just a little question though; is there a non-microsoft store version on the horizon?

[GarryP]

You’re welcome.
I have no (short/medium/long-term) plans to make a non-Microsoft Store version available for various reasons.
That might change at some point in the far future, if circumstances change massively, but no-one should count on it ever happening.

Canny Vectors has just passed the one thousand acquisitions mark.
While this doesn’t sound like much in the grand scheme of things, considering that I have only mentioned the existence of the application in these forums, I think it’s a pretty good amount which is still growing day-by-day.
Thanks to everyone who has used the application and helped it, by personal recommendation, to reach so many people.

My little Canny Vectors app has just passed the 5,000 acquisitions ‘marker’ in the Microsoft Store which, while not being a massive number, is great for something that has only been mentioned in these forums.

Thanks to anyone who has passed on a recommendation to a friend/colleague/enemy/stranger/etc.
Thanks also to anyone who has posted a nice review/rating in the store too.

Looking forward to making it to 10,000.
