In the latest #paragraphic test build 0.6.11 the menu has been moved to the native menu bar on macOS and the window adjusted to the moved menu bar to feel a little more integrated and familiar for macOS users. On Windows and Linux the menu stays in the window as before.

Working on adding node previews in #paragraphic, just like the ones in #patternodes. To help understand step by step what is changed by each node in the generation sequence for a layer. More info and tester signup at paragraphic.design

Element indexes are very useful for selecting and modifying things in groups, but they can be tricky to understand. So now I've added a helpful little display setting that shows the index numbers of elements in selected groups. #paragraphic

Doing some #vectoraster style vector halftones in #paragraphic. Still quite slow compared to Vectoraster, but workable, and potentially much more flexible.
