Feature Request: Displaying Path Values At Point Junctions or Point’s Location in Viewport

[rigorous-mind]

Hello Mathieu,

Firstly, I would like to express my profound gratitude for making your SVG Path Visualizer free to use. I have been working with SVG equations generated using GIMP’s path features for the past couple of months, and your Visualizer has helped me immensely in optimizing the equations and reducing the byte count. Although I am establish quite quickly that the GIMP generated SVG contains too many redundancies, however, without an excellent visualizer, it becomes an extremely slow and tedious task optimizing those equations. I hate redundancies in code, and your SVG visualizer has been immensely useful.

Now to the core issue. I do not have the luxury of using a large screen monitor, and I quite like working on my laptop. However, your SVG visualizer lists the points after rendering the figure drawn using the path, and the edit box for entering the path and drawn figure take up the whole of the screen space. To study the points, I have to repeatedly scroll down to see which point is where and then scroll back up to use those points optimally. If you were to introduce an option to display the values of the points where the figure is drawn, at the precise locations where your SVG visualizer shows small circles to display connections in the path element, it would make it spectacularly easy to keep an eye on the values right where the figure is drawn and where the edit box is available to the user.

You have mentioned in your introduction that you make stuff that allows people to make minor improvements. SVG Path optimizer has allowed me to make spectacularly large gains when it comes to byte count reduction. I most definitely would not consider it a tool that allows those working with SVG to make only minor or insignificant changes. It’s a spectacular, outstanding SVG debugging tool that just needs some minor tweaks to become a truly euphoria inducing SVG visualizer. I am attaching a screenshot to indicate the missing values although the connecting points have been highlighted spectacularly successfully. Displaying the point values right at those locations where path connection points are displayed would greatly reduce the time it currently takes me to optimize the path equations on my 15.6" laptop screen.
