Brush improved!
Update to version 1.04
With this update the brush is intensively improved. The new brush does no longer change the height of a 2*2 point area, but only one point. The methods "Valley", "Mountain", "+Slope" and "-Slope" worked only with the 2*2 points area, and so they are no longer available.
1. Now you can choose between three brush forms:
Flat - equals the old standard brush
Round - what all were waiting for. The round brush, with a sinus profile, equals most the wellknown bushes, in its form, but is still a full level brush
Squared - equals the old blending brush
2. The power of blending is now adjustable, so that even the flat brush can be reduced in the power, to eleminate small borders
3. Two new brushmethods:
relative - this brush takes the height value from the surrounding. You can select, whether it takes the heighest or lowest height of the surrounding, and all the 7 steps in between. With this modus for example, you can draw ridges out of a existing mountain, and this ridges decrease in the height.
absolute - draws with a fixed height, very simple and very powerful. The heights can be picked up from the existing terrain with the right mouse button.
Again the height correction filter for the brush was improved. Together with the new round and squared brush forms, changing the height correction is no longer a problem.
Improved project 2D-view. After rebuilding, the zoom and position were set to center and 100%. Now GeoControl keeps the settings, so it is much easyer, to move a layer, when zoomed in.
At least, the problems with hiding the overlay image are fixed.

In the attached image you see a wide ridge, which was drawn with the relative brush. No worry about the height decreasing, it is down automatically.
