It would really be nice if there was a way as part of the pen extension (or as a separate extension if it doesn't match the scope) to draw arbitrary filled and possibly textured basic shapes (ellipses, triangles, quads) that worked similar to the pen stamp block. Ellipses would probably be unnecessary difficult to implement and could be left out entirely. The problem I'm trying to solve is that manually drawing filled shapes using pen is quite slow even on fairly powerful systems (I have a decent machine and pen lags a good amount on it), and sprites alone are not malleable enough as you can't move the corners or warp them.


Here's some scratch blocks of my idea:

draw [ellipse v] from x: () y: () to x: () y: () :: pen
draw [triangle v] at 1st x: () y: () 2nd x: () y: () 3rd x: () y: () :: pen
draw [quadrilateral v] from x: () y: () to x: () y: () :: pen

draw [ellipse v] from x: () y: () to x: () y: () with costume area from x: () y: () to x: () y: () :: pen
draw [triangle v] at 1st x: () y: () 2nd x: () y: () 3rd x: () y: () with costume area at 1st x: () y: () 2nd x: () y: () 3rd x: () y: () :: pen
draw [quadrilateral v] from x: () y: () to x: () y: () with costume area from x: () y: () to x: () y: () :: pen

draw [unfilled v] [ellipse v] from x: () y:() to x:() y:()::pen//dropdown of filled/unfilled for first one and various shapes in second

draw [ellipse v] from x:() y:() to x:() y:() using the area in the costume from x:() y:() to x:() y:()::pen//dropdown of various shapes

I have never had problems with speed with mine and these would need a considerable extension to the block pallet

Alright I updated my post using the feedback

• I removed unfilled shapes since to draw borders, you could just use regular pen
  
• I updated how ellipses and quads would work
  
• Instead of using an image, I figured out scratch blocks

I would love to see this. while textures might be excessive, the lack of basic shape drawing is a shame.

this would be cool, and it would definitely make using the pen easier and faster.

Uhm yeah this would be really useful especially for pen only projects and drawing engines theres really no downside to this I support
