Hi Cody,

Thank you for working on this! I really like your dots. And sorry for my slow reply: I was travelling.

That's a good point about using color/value to separate leader lines from object lines, though can't really do it in this case since these are for print and I'm trying to avoid fuzziness from halftoning. But I'll try that next time I do a drawing for digital-only.

I actually did try making the radii in vector graphics initially. The problem I ran into is that using one radius didn't look the same on acute and obtuse angles, but one fillet distance does:


I don't know how to make a constant distance fillet in Inkscape, Illustrator, etc. so that's why I did that step in MoI rather than eyeballing each one.

Anyway, I really appreciate your help and am going to borrow your dots :)

- Peer

You're very welcome, Peer.

I had fun making those samples. It's all good, man. :-)
