Making the end of a line round?

Post by Zerdo »

Hello,

I wanted to ask you, how to make a round ending of a thick line. Instead of a rectangle ending, a round ending (a half circle).

Thank you, greetings Zerdo

There's no way to change the style of line endings in Moho, but you could draw a small circle lined up with the end of the line to fake the effect.

If one created a brush that was a round black ball wouldn´t that create a rounded end?

I made a round black circle, stuck it in the brush library of Moho then drew with it (see above).
The ends of the lines are round.
Is this what you wanted? :?:

Make sure that Preview mode is turned on for the display quality in Moho so you can see the final drawing style.

Yes, that's right - a round brush can do the trick nicely.

LM, do you ever USE your own program? :wink: It's not the first time a user pointed out an option you didn't think of, that's what you get if you leave people with choices...

Thanks a lot, Toontoonz and Lost Marble for the ideas and hints. But I think, that this method needs sometimes more time. Then a button like Line Width could help. Could this be a feature in the next versions? Just to "make a line round at the ending" button. I think, this feature could help a lot at different things.

Sorry for my bad English :cry:
