Color spacing in dashed color mode (Relative) is broken

[ThePowerOfElectricity]

Description:
When creating a shape with a dashed color, the spacing of the segments is not even. Instead, there is a part-segment of the shape that is not fully drawn at the end of the drawing cycle OR two segments of the same color merge into one large segment at the start / end of the drawing cycle. Which of the two occurs depends on frequency and shape size.

Expected behavior:
When drawing a shape with a dashed color at a frequency of four, exactly 8 equally sized dashes should be drawn. The color dashing should also not change depending on the shape size.

Steps to reproduce:
-Open editor mode
-Select dashed color mode (relative cycle length)
-Set Frequency to 4
-Set colors to show the different segments clearly
-Draw a small, medium and large circle

Outcome: The circles will not have even color spacing or weird cut-off segments at the start and end depending on their size

Thanks for the report.

The way the frequency setting works right now, it is actually values 0.5 between integers that result in evenly spaced segments. For example a frequency of 3.5 results in 8 even segments as you describe in the expected behavior.

However, there are still two actionable issues here

1. I will consider offsetting the frequency value behavior so that round numbers produce even segments instead of non-round numbers, as this is more intuitive.
2. The tiny cut-off segment that you may or may not see when the frequency is even is caused by a rounding error. Should be fixed.

Thank you for the explanation!

This indeed makes sense the way it is set up. While it's not that intuitive, it's still working if you know what you're doing.

I do agree though that adding the .5 offset would probably help make it easier to understand.
