Do you know for an EFX to function, it has to be based onto a mathematical function?
The (now) value and the (now+1) value has to be known so that the difference in between can be calculated...

Drawing a figure in pixels does not compute into a math function - So I'm afraid your request will be way off...

If you draw the pattern in advance, it's easy to compute the distance
For example, let's say the drawing is composed of short lines. The distance for each segment is easy (sqrt(x^2+y^2)).
The problem is that someone must implement UI for adding points, moving, deleting, etc.
It's a lot of work.

ShowXpress has a feature like this, except you can add or subtract points. I think that'd be easier to implement than free draw. And it's easier to modify the pattern for the end user.

It's not nice of you to promote other products Daryl.
You are not helping QLC+ users here by saying 'use that product instead'

How am I promoting another product? I'm just saying that this product does EFX in a way that closely matches what OP wants, and QLC+ could do something similar.
