Rotopen - change line width and colour?

[Davidk]

In the ultimate version, the Rotopen filter enables a moving line with travel icons between points on whatever background is selected, with the inclusion of icons being a feature the organic VS printing creator tool does not have. But the control panel for Rotopen seems to lack some essential elements, and there is no advice in the user guide about how this feature can be applied:
1. Path Styles. Altho there is a selection box for a choice of path "styles"
- removal of a drawn line seems to be impossible: the red X and reset just close the style box, cannot seem to remove a badly drawn line by anything other than close the whole panel, and start again.
- a choice of style lines seems to be offered, eg, solid or dotted lines, but there's no apparent way to change the colour of the line/pattern, or it's width. Is that even possible?
- changing a path style doesn't seem to change the drawn line


Can anyone familiar with the use of rotopen advise on these things?

removal of a drawn line seems to be impossible

On the Edit Path page, simply highlight the path segment in question and delete it.

there's no apparent way to change the colour of the line/pattern, or it's width

These are not available from within the Rotopen plug-in.

changing a path style doesn't seem to change the drawn line

It has since at least X7.

David, for years I have used Routegenerator a free tool for drawing routes, it is far more versatile than Rotopen, your designated path can be any width or colour, you have choice of vehicle type and you can add your own

Hi Robert,
found it - currently v 1.7.1.
For the moment - opening a map gets the image about 2x as large as it should be. And there's no apparent way to zoom the map image in or out?
