I love the Custom-Cookie-Cutter-Generator made by Guru, but I found it was rather difficult to use, especially when trying to add / remove nodes. So, I made some usability changes:
Current selected node is highlighted in red
When moving a node, it picks the node closest to the mouse, not just ones that are 4px away
Increased the height / depth of the cutting part for thicker rolls of dough
New nodes are now placed at the mouse cursor in a logical clockwise order instead of at a semi-arbitrary location
Removing a node now removes the node closest to the mouse
Added a basic scaling feature: up arrow scales the entire node set by 110%, down arrow scales the entire node set by 90%.
Made it so the file open/save dialogues all remember the last location you used them (super handy if you're not working in "My Documents").
All props to Guru for making the original one though!
There are still some things I wouldn't mind implementing when I have time:
Automated "smoothing" by inserting new nodes to round things out
Clean up the load / save / export functions so that proper file extensions are used, etc
More stuff that I forgot..
Also, to use this, you need the unlekkerlib for processing. You can download it at: http://codeandform.googlecode.com/files/unlekkerLib0003c.zip . To make it work, create a folder called "libraries" in your Processing folder (where the sketches are stored), and unzip the unlekkerLib folder into that libraries folder.
