Hi everyone !

Thank you so much for your interest in Ductus!
First of all, I thank the administrator of this amazing community for accepting me!

I wanted today to annonce an incoming update of the tool in 2 weeks, with some new cool features, after a lot of suggestions and ideas from users. The new features are :

 - Slant lines (with adjustable angle from 0 to 55°),
 - Paper orientation (portrait and landscape),
 - Paper format (a4, a3, letter, legal),
 - Black and white mode
 - Customizable colors for the main lines, the regular lines and the slant lines.

Again, I thank you a lot for your interest in Ductus. Without calligraphers like you, it would be worthless !
be sure to be notified again when the new version is live.

In the meantime, you can always make new suggestions or ask questions here if you wish !

Dear fellow calligraphers, it is time for another announcement !

One month ago, I launched Ductus, a tool to help anyone feeling the need to quickly generate guidelines for training purposes. I was actually surprised to see how much people found this useful, and by the huge response Ductus got in the first week (over 7000 users !).

Some of you made some pretty useful suggestions, and today, Ductus is back with some pretty cool features !

I also created a newsletter for anyone willing to keep informed about Ductus, and the next features in the works (because, yes, Ductus is ALWAYS evolving). So don't hesitate to click on the button to subscribe !

To make Ductus useful to the most people possible, make sure you share this around !

As always, Ductus would be worthless without its users.
So thanks to everyone !

Very nice!

It might have been posted here too, here is a link to another such generator (though it is for pointed pen calligraphy) that a fellow member Prasad pointed out earlier- http://shipbrook.net/guidelines/
