The problem: Depending on whether the user draws the freehand line quickly or slowly, it completely changes the number of points that are underlying said line.
The image shown illustrated an extreme case. (Left-slow-many points. Right-fast-few points)
Purpose: To compare planning and patient rehabilitation using 3D implant planning software and dedicated surgical templates with conventional freehand implant placement for the rehabilitation of partially or fully edentulous patients using flapless or mini-flap procedures and immediate loading.
Materials and methods: Patients requiring at least two implants to be restored with a single prosthesis, having at least 7 mm of bone height and 4 mm in bone width were consecutively enrolled. Patients were randomised according to a parallel group study design into two groups: computerguided group or conventional freehand group. Implants were loaded immediately with a provisional prosthesis, replaced by a definitive prosthesis 4 months later. Outcome measures assessed by a blinded independent assessor were: implant and prosthesis failures, any complications, marginal bone levels, number of treatment sessions, duration of treatment, post-surgical pain and swelling, consumption of pain killers, surgical and prosthetic time, time required to solve complications, and patient satisfaction. Patients were followed up to 5 years after loading.
Results: Ten patients (32 implants) were randomised to the computer-guided group and 10 patients (30 implants) were randomised to the freehand group. At the 5-year follow-up examination one patient of the computer-guided group and one of the freehand group dropped-out (both moved to another country). No prostheses failed during the entire follow-up. Two implants failed in the conventional group (6.6%) vs none in the computer-guided group (P = 0.158). Ten patients (five in each group) experienced 11 complications (six in the computer-guided group and five in the freehand group), that were successfully solved. Differences between groups for implant failures and complications were not statistically significant. Five years after loading, the mean marginal bone loss was 0.87 mm 0.40 (95% CI: 0.54 to 1.06 mm) in the computer-guided group and 1.29 mm 0.31 (95% CI: 1.09 to 1.51 mm) in the freehand group. The difference was statistically significant (difference 0.42 mm 0.54; 95% CI: 0.05 to 0.75; P = 0.024). Patient self-reported post-surgical pain (P = 0.037) and swelling (P = 0.007) were found to be statistically significant higher in patients in the freehand group. Number of sessions from patient's recruitment to delivery of the definitive prosthesis, number of days from the initial CBCT scan to implant placement, consumption of painkillers, averaged surgical, prosthetic, and complication times, were not statistically significant different between the groups. At the 5-year followup, all the patients were fully satisfied with the function and aesthetics of their definitive prostheses.
Conclusions: Both approaches achieved successful results over the 5-year follow-up period. Statistically higher post-operative pain and swelling were experienced at sites treated freehand with flap elevation. Less marginal bone loss (0.4 mm) was observed in the computer-guided group, at 5 years follow-up.
It seems I inherited the creativity gene, but not the aptitude to paint. Sure I can build furniture projects and home decor pieces, but painting freehand is not in my wheelhouse. I want to be a freehand painter and I want to paint more than a stick figure.
I took the paint-by-number idea and applied it to my projects. First I tried the technique on my Tiki Mask Planters, then on my Flower Power Bus Planters. The results? It looks freehand painted to me!
I also used the paint-by-number freehand painting technique on my Vintage Camper Napkin Holders. By the way, how adorable are these things?! This freehand painting technique is sooo easy! If you can paint-by-number, then without a doubt, you can do this technique!
@Mattyj This is becoming strange. From what I can see of your Tool Options docker (please show more) then you should be drawing a black freehand path. On a paint layer, with that brush preset, the stroke will be textured but it should be there.
So for some reason the freehand path tool still only works after changing the layout of Krita. It doesnt seem to matter which layout is chosen i.e. could be going from Default to Big Vector or to Big Paint or back, the freehand path tool just seems to not work randomly.
Also Ive found that the Bezier handle tool will not display vector points regardless of whether the freehand path tool is used or another type of vector painting tool is used e.g. the shape tool. Have uploaded a screenshot of Krita with the Bezier tool selected and the tool option window shown. Any help would be really appreciated. Cheers.

Weeds listed above can be controlled when FreeHand 1.75G herbicide is applied at rate ranges of 100-200 lbs as listed on the product label. Higher rates will control a greater number of species and provide longer residual per application.
*Not controlled in California; refer to FreeHand CA 1.75G herbicide product label for additional information

What I want is to be able to draw some drawing with a simple pen tool (as with the Freehand Line from the Drawing Tools of Mathematica), while a script runs every time something is added to the drawing, outputting and updating another graphics element based on what I draw. For example I could make a real time copy of my drawing, mapped like complex numbers in F(z) = z + 1.
The SQL is validated if I use 'Number' or '?' but when I use the column in report, I get "ORA-01722: invalid number" Error becaues I'm comparing a string with a number - Either way, I'm not able to call the user prmpt parameter value into freehand SQL calculated field
So then I went on to test number two. I knew Illustrator used to open Freehand files itself, so had to find out when that was taken out. The answer is, CS5 was the last version of Illustrator that would open Freehand files. Since I had that on hand, I installed it to test.
Downside. It's hit or miss if Freehand will work under Snow Leopard. Adobe says it no workee in Snow Leopard. It works for some, but not others, so they just declared it unsupported. There's a fair number of posts in their forums on the same topic with pretty much the same answers. Some users have little, or no problem getting it to work in SL, and others can't get it to run at all.
External ventricular drain (EVD) placement is a frequently performed neurosurgical procedure. Inaccuracies in drain positioning and the need for multiple passes using the classic freehand insertion technique is well reported in the literature, especially in the traumatic brain injury (TBI) population. The purpose of this study was to evaluate if electromagnetic neuronavigation guidance for EVD insertion improves placement accuracy and minimizes the number of passes in severe TBI patients.
Navigation was applied prospectively for all new severe TBI patients who required ventricular catheter placement over a period of 1 year, and compared with a retrospective cohort of severe TBI patients who had EVD inserted freehand in the preceding year. The placement accuracy was evaluated using the Kakarla grading system; the number of passes was also compared.
Fifty-four cases were recruited: 35 (64.8%) had their EVD placed using the freehand technique and 19 (35.2%) using navigation guidance. In the navigation group, the placement accuracy was: 94.7% (18/19) grade 1, 5.3% (1/19) grade 2, and none at grade 3. In comparison, freehand placement was associated with misplacement (grades 2 and 3) in 42.9% of the cases (p value = 0.009). The number of passes was significantly lower in the navigation group (mean of 1.16 0.38), compared with the freehand group (mean of 1.63 0.88) (p value = 0.018).
Classically, EVD placement is a blind procedure that is performed using freehand technique through a frontal approach utilizing anatomical surface landmarks. Inaccuracy of EVD placement using the freehand technique has been reported in the literature (Table 1) [1, 2, 3, 11, 14, 16,17,18,19, 24, 26, 29,30,31,32, 38, 41, 45]. In their cohort, mostly of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), Toma et al. [45] reported the misplacement within the brain parenchyma, subarachnoid space and contralateral side to be 23%. Of the misplaced catheters, 40% required revision or reinsertion. A similar result of high rates of misplacement (23%) was reported by Lee et al. [24] in a Korean cohort that was mostly composed of SAH and ICH patients. Hsieh et al. [17] reported misplacement to be more than 28%, of which traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients constituted about 30% of the sample. The rate of misplacement was significantly higher in patients whose head computed tomography (CT) scans revealed lower hydrocephalus ratio [8] and smaller ventricular size [17, 45].
Various techniques have been described to improve ventricular catheter placement. Thirty years ago, Ghajar [14] published his technique using the Ghajar Device (Neurodynamics, New York, NY, USA) to improve the accuracy of EVD placement. The application of navigation-guidance was evaluated for permanent ventricular shunt placement and EVD insertion [10, 26, 40]. In a retrospective cohort study comparing freehand, stereotactic-guided and ultrasound-guided ventricular catheter placement for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunting, the only risk factor identified for placement inaccuracy was the use of freehand technique [46].
