This talk will demonstrate two tools in the context of tool interface sharing between different applications. One tool is a mesh tool, which has been gaining popularity in various open source projects lately. It can be used for many things, such as gradients, predictable image and path warping, and various special effects. The other tool is a clone tiler, as almost seen in Inkscape, plus a variation on that tool that allows custom recursive layout patterns.

Tom has been experimenting with various tool interface design in Laidout for the last several years. He is an artist living in Portland, Oregon, USA.
