Actually, it doesn't look bad. Do you want to work on this further so I
can include the patch?
Well, I've actually got some sparetime this weekend, so I might be able to work a little bit on it.
- the thickness of both stems should be better in balance. the left one
should be heavier, or the right one lighter.
- the hole should be a bit wider.
To properly balance it, you need to print it (on paper, not on screen)
out next to other glyphs from the font (but not f and p, since they are
extra heavy).
Well, as you can see, I just copied the m glyph and removed one stem. I can't promise anything, but I'll take a look at it. A scan of a real example would be of great help.
For the circle: use a circle output routine (see easy-notation.cc)
Ok
- the property should have a graphical name. eg. something like
'circled-tip
Ok
- this can be folded into one statement.
if ((grow_dir > 0) && !broken[LEFT])
+ mol.add_at_edge (X_AXIS, LEFT, Stencil (circle), 0, 0);
+ if ((grow_dir < 0) && !broken[RIGHT])
+ mol.add_at_edge (X_AXIS, RIGHT, Stencil (circle), 0, 0);
Ok
I'll try to improve it and send an update.

Erlend Aasland
