oh yeah, i know xokem's tool! funnily enough, it actually inspired my other plugin (dithering generator) xd.
i completely get what you mean about increasing the pattern size/coverage (keeping 1x1 pixels but making the brush footprint wider). i actually thought about adding this exact feature when i first started making the plugin, but completely forgot about it! so ty for the reminder
about the "force tiling" - i just checked how that extension works under the hood and you are totally right! "force tiling" in that tool actually forces the brush size to be a multiple of 4 (since the base pattern is 4x4) so the pattern doesn't break when strokes overlap.
but here is the good news: because my plugin uses aseprite's "align to destination" feature by default, the pattern is permanently glued to the canvas grid. this means when i add the coverage slider, we won't even need a "force tiling" checkbox! you'll be able to make the brush absolutely any odd size you want (like 5x5 or 7x7) and the pattern will still never break or look messy when you draw ( ˙▿˙ )
i'll definitely try to add the pattern coverage feature sometime around may-june ♡
