Support! This would make stamping sprites a lot nicer!

Support, because i want to add a feature to my art project to make the pen quality high or low.

SupportStill do
I know that the pen object itself is a 1 pixel bitmap dot (at least it was last time I checked), though I'm sure it could be configured in a way where it could draw per-pixel based on the user's screen size rather than based on the resolution of the canvas like what happens to all other images. I think more people, particularly the art and aesthetic scene would use pen more if it was equivalent to vector in how sharp it looked, and it'd be a benefit to pretty much everyone.

Support! Pixilation is very annoying.
It is also easy to implement. Currently the pen marks are saved in a png file (You can see it by downloading the project and renaming it as *.zip). We just need it to be a svg

Is this for vector?

Is this for vector?No, it's to stop the pen blocks from looking ugly and pixelated

Support because other people might want to use this.

No support. Tbh I never use them so I don't really care.That's a really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really, REALLY REALLY bad reason not to support. I don't have use for a “detect country of user” block but I supported that one anyway because I don't see any reason not to.

Support, the current 481 x 361 pen rasterization is rather low res, would be cool so see a feature improving this. In the meantime we can use websites like turbowarp and forkphorus which have high res pen features.

Support, pen should be related to the size of the canvas for higher quality, and should probably be higher quality in general. Turbowarp has a high quality pen mode and it looks great (phosphorus and forkphorus had this on automatically). Right now pen looks terribly grainy.

I do want to make a comment that the high quality pen mode on Turbowarp has one flaw, That being if you resized the window, it resizes the pen with it, and it causes some nasty artifacts, and all of your high quality pen strokes are gone and look terrible. So I hope, if this is implemented, that this problem can be avoided.
Support! This would make stamping sprites a lot nicer!Yes, I despise clones

Yeah, I don't see why this needs to be an option when a vector pen is objectively better.Like this:https://xkcd.com/1172/set pen to [vector v]::pen????
set pen to [bitmap v]::pen
If it was like this, support. Sometimes I want the pixellated version for Pen

I don't really see how this'd work. Does it automatically complete the line after using pen up? What if it doesn't do pen up at all?

Vector graphics are graphics stored and drawn with instructions rather than grids of pixels. This not only results in very high and theoretically infinite resolution images, but it also reduces the file size dramatically. They are commonly stored in the SVG file format which resembles XML. SVG files can be viewed in a web browser, and SVGs are used in Adobe Flash.
Those graphics are commonly miscalled simple graphics due to the lack of effects which are only able to be used in regular bitmap images (blur, shadows…) and the inability of taking photos in vector format.
The vector graphics make drawings look much smoother but can be more difficult to draw. Vector graphics use splines (mathematical curve) through a set of control points instead of pen marks on a region. The control points can be dragged later on to modify a shape, so getting a complex organic shape to look perfect is simpler. Objects can be manipulated individually, too, so one can stretch and rotate one element separately (or group multiple elements to do these; operations collectively). Vector graphics also have greater clarity and resolution, and usually, have smaller file sizes.
