Stroke lacks Inner/Outer alignment on non-closed curves

[fyrissian]

It would be VERY handy to have the inner/outer alignment options work on non-closed curves. While obviously a non-closed curve doesn't really have an 'inside' or 'outside, you could establish a convention such that, for example, 'inside' would be to the right of the curve as you traverse the points in order, and 'outside' would be to the left (or vice versa).

And perhaps, to keep styles working consistently on non-closed curves, a way to reverse the point order on non-closed curves would be useful as well

I believe that is on the context tool bar.

Regarding your other (first) question I think you may be able to achieve something close to what you want with the 'pressure' curve in the Strokes Studio.

This came up a while back…

 

Don't think the discussion led anywhere very fruitful!
