Add a mode to running stitch that uses randomized phase and stitch length instead of even spacing. This greatly reduces moire effects when stitching closely-spaced curves in running-stitch-based fills.
Add option for randomized running stitch to:
ripple stitch
circular fill
contour fill
guided fill
auto-fill
When is randomization is not selected, ripple stitch will use even running stitch when staggers are set to 0 (default) and the stagger algorithm from guided fill (which does not look nice with a stagger period of 0) when staggers is nonzero.
Also includes fix for satin contour underlays (missing tolerance default) mentioned in #2814. This sets the default tolerance to 0.2mm, which is the largest tolerance guaranteed to be backwards-compatible with existing designs using the default inset of 0.4mm.
Original commits:
* fix satin underlay tolerance default
* Add randomized running stitch, make available in ripple stitch, circular, and contour
* add randomized guided fill
* make ripple stitch use even stitching when not staggering or randomizing.
* add random auto-fill and switch jitter parameter to a percentage (matches satin)
* fix comments
Setting the cache size to 0 bypasses the cache completely.
This is necessary during development to ensure newly-changed code actually gets run.
Also fixes the error pane in the params gui.
* make params warning pane large enough to see contents
* rename sizers in preferences dialog descriptive names
* add shapely version bound
* add option to disable stitch plan cache
* remove out-of-date wxg file
* make a cache size of 0 disable the cache
- Recursive Clones now pick up inkstitch:angle etc. from clones they clone
- Style now properly propogates to clones
- Unlink Clone tool (which applies angle changes, etc.)
- Minor refactoring
* replace jumps by running stitches
- this modify the contour underlay by adding a running stitch to travel from first side to second side
- it also add running stitches between underlays and between underlay and final satin stitches
* rename patch to stitch_group
* Update satin_column.py
add a function to avoid repetitive code
