You have built a paving layout. Until now it stayed in your browser tab. Version 1.0.10 gives you two ways to get it out.
Share your plan: one click, one image
The new “Share” button in the canvas toolbar exports your layout as a high-resolution PNG (2× for sharp rendering on retina screens and social media feeds). A branded watermark, your locale’s version of “Planned with patioplanner.app”, sits in the bottom corner: visible enough that people know where to find the tool, small enough that it does not ruin the image.
On mobile devices the native share sheet opens: WhatsApp, email, Facebook, whatever you have installed. On desktop the file downloads directly.
Post your layout in a gardening group, send it to your landscaper, or attach it to a forum question. The watermark markets the tool every time someone sees the image.
Print: layout and shopping list on paper
The “Print” button opens your browser’s print dialog with a purpose-built print stylesheet:
- Page 1: The paving layout as a clean, full-width diagram
- Page 2: The complete shopping list with stone counts and sub-base material quantities
A branded header (“PatioPlanner – Verlegeplan”) and a footer with the website URL frame the printout. It is tidy enough to hand to a contractor or take to the hardware store.
The print version drops background colours, shadows and rounded corners, so it stays readable and saves ink.
Precise stone rendering
The stone border used to bleed outside the polygon boundary. A 200×200 mm stone was rendered as 201×201 mm visually because SVG strokes are centered, half inside, half outside.
Now each stone polygon is inset by half the stroke width. Joints look exactly as wide as you set them.
Projects now save completely
Joint width and stone colour are now stored with your project. When you reopen a saved project it looks exactly like it did when you saved it. No settings go missing.
Installable as an app
PatioPlanner is now a Progressive Web App. Add it to your home screen and use the planner offline. Your projects stay local on your device.
