The same code appeared over and over again in plugins, not only, but the idea of centralizing in KisPainter doesn't actually prevent you from actually what you are talking about... You see, I believe tools should be adapters since they are only present a particular algorithm to the user, but most of the time, that algorithm is needed in many situations, however, a common tool interface probably isn't the best way to interact with such services if your using C++. > -- but who should get the brush shape, > the pattern, the colour? The tool, or the painter.
