Inflection warning (red arrows plugin)

What did I do wrong? and how to fix this “error”?!

Add a node at the inflection point to fix it. Some manual adjustment of the path may be necessary.

Thank you! I guess it worked!

In most cases, you don’t need the inflection point. It can lead to problems in certain rare cases but until you actually encounter one, you don’t need to fix it.

Meaning I could get away with the example in 1st image…?

Yes.

It is not an error. Just a warning. There are some advantages to having inflection points if you want to offset the path, i.e. create a parallel path. They are very problematic in interpolation. I try to do without them wherever possible.

The inflection flagging seemed to confuse users. I have changed the logic so clearly intended and noticeable inflections get a yellow arrow, and inflections closer to the start or end point, which may be unintended, get a red arrow as before.

Is there a way to customize Red Arrows? Ej. I would like to deactivate “Semi-vertical line” detection.

Currently, only by hacking the plugin source code. You would comment out the line #97 in plugin.py:
