This tool creates multiple copies or clones of a path/object/group "spraying" them over the canvas.
This tool allows "painting" of motifs on the canvas. When clicking and dragging, several copies are scattered following the drawn stroke. Controls to adjust scaling, rotation, color (HSLO) and the randomness (or limits) of each parameter should be made available.
The radius of the tool controls the main active zone where the copies will be drawn. The described controls set how the copies vary. The result could be:
* Copies.
* Clones (shift+D would point the original).
* Everything is rendered to a single-path object. Having a selected object would ADD to it.
The motifs are taken from the clipboard but some default shapes could be provided (like a circle, a square, a snow flake...). Some of the UI elements keep similarities with the Tweak tool.
