Add randomized running and fill stitches #2830

@kaalleen @tyrosinase This is what we discussed earlier in #2281 |
|
Here is an example of a design using regular, then randomized modes.

Nice, I do like the random running stitch feature a lot!! |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I do hate the sort_index thing so much, even though I'm the one that added it. I can't wait until we redo the GUI entirely.

Nice!! The moire effects have been really bugging me. This produces a much nicer result. It's funny... looking way back at the start of Ink/Stitch, the original fill stitch algorithm used random phase. It gave far lower-quality results with weird banding and moire effects, so I implemented staggering. In this case though, random is much better :) |

@george-steel I feel like I might have missed responding to one of your comments @-mentioning me recently, but I can't find it. If so, could you please point me to it? |

All good. Merge when you are ready. |
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:
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.
