Vector brushes in shapes are not displayed correctly.

[Sitaara]

Hi,

Today I tried to create a frame with vector brushes, as I did some time ago. Unfortunately, the problem with most brushes is that the line is not closed properly. Is there a trick for this problem?

If you insert a Break in the curve at the start/end point then the problem might be lessened but, depending on various things, it might not go away entirely.

It seems to be largely dependent on the cap style:

@GarryP@Alfred Thank you for your help.

I just did this very quickly. One solution seems to be converting to curves and opening them (in the example, I had to do this in every corner). That's not my favourite solution, but if it has to be.

The other solution seems to be to round off the corners. In any case, these are some ideas I can play around with.

@Alfred How did you make the moving background that your avatar is on? I think it's cool!

I presume you’re referring to the header on my profile page. I’m sorry to say that I didn’t make it myself, I simply found it online. (It comes from Mel Brooks’ movie Spaceballs.)

Apart from stroke caps and additional node, for certain brushes also their Head | Tail Offset may influence the stroke's start/end:

@thomaso Thank you for that tip. Some stroke can be tamed with it. But, as is so often the case, not on the ones you want to use (I think this must be a universal law).

I didn't know the word "header", but yes, I mean that. And whoever made it, it looks cool anyway. 😁

Oops, there’s something not quite right about the text in that … er … ludicrous link!

Ludicrous Speed was a hyperspace speed considerably faster than lightspeed. While a ship was moving at Ludicrous Speed, a plaid-patterned tunnel straight through space itself would be visible to all bystanders. Ludicrous Speed was both an extremely powerful hyperdrive mechanism and a considerable threat to the health of anyone not buckled down during acceleration.

How so?

@AlfredActually, I just thought it was cool; now that I know what it's about, I want to have it, for real!

It just looked a bit weird at first blush, but now I see how it works. It says “text=<first part of the text>,<last part of the text>”, where the first part is “Ludicrous Speed was a hyperspace” and the last part is “be visible to all bystanders.”
