I could not figure out how to do stuff. I made a line segment, but then could not find a way to move or resize it, although I did get some drag handles to show up. I couldn't figure out how to make any other shape, like rectangles or circles. I clicked on every button I could find probably twenty times in different orders, but could not get most of them to do anything.
- stevage 1y agoI think it's helpful for apps like this to provide a lot of hints about how to use the tools, which can then be turned off.
- boomskats 1y agoThe shape tool is on the main toolbar between the text tool and image tool. The first two shape options are rectangles and circles.
- recursive 1y agoI definitely saw the button, and clicked on it many times. And vigorously, but nothing ever happened. I tried this in Firefox and Chrome on two different machines. Then I used some debugging skills, and found that there were a pair of zero-opacity <iframe>s blocking my clicks on the button, which is why nothing happened. After detaching them from the document, the shape button started doing stuff. I suspect these mystery iframes explain most of my difficulty in using it.
- jansan 1y agoI Hyvector an `iframe` is only used when parsing an SVG, so apparently something went wrong and the iframe was not removed properly. I will have to add better error handling to prevent ensure everything is cleaned up in any case.
- recursive 1y agoI'm not sure if you changed anything, but it's working now. No phantom iframes. Everything makes more sense now.
