Arrow heads work in progress
by Carl Hetherington 07 Apr '04

07 Apr '04

Hi, I've just uploaded my arrow heads patch, which is incomplete, to the sf.net tracker. At the moment it behaves like this: 1. Add an arrow head to a line. Nothing happens. 2. Add another arrow head to the same line. The first arrow head appears. My limits for trying to follow C++-in-C have been reached for today ;-) Any insights would be welcome. Cheers Carl

roadmap
by Jonathan Phillips 07 Apr '04

07 Apr '04

Please check out our dev. roadmap: http://inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Roadmap Everything is not in the proper place, but gives us some bite-sized amounts of work to conquer. I think the amount of items for a release is around 10-15 at the current pace, but several have way more. Please move items/tasks/subtasks around on the site so that we can have a nice distributed amount of work...thx Jon -- Jon Phillips Graduate Researcher Visual Arts Department PO BOX 948667 LA JOLLA, CA USA cell.858.361.2811 jon@...247... http://www.jonphillips.info

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Calligraphy Pen

A sequence of beziers in "thickness space" will indeed give you smooth thickness function and may require less data to store (i.e. you can use less samples). Still, I think what is _stored_ for a stroke should be just an array of widths, which can then be rendered either as a polygon (for quick renders), or as an automatic beziergon where all the points are smooth points on a path of beziers (for quality renders). Using such an array will allow us to represent both "geometric" (elliptical, triangular etc) stroke shapes as well as totally random strokes, e.g. with thickness information coming from a tablet pen pressure. The tricky part is the algorithm: given a midline path (a sequence of lines and beziers) and the thickness array, produce a closed path representing the final stroke. This algorithm should deal satisfactorily with sharp turns and any other oddities in the input data. Once we have it, adding a new object type to Inkscape and some UI for it is more or less trivial. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Premium: Up to 11 personalized e-mail addresses and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=ht…

roadmap 0.39
by Jonathan Phillips 07 Apr '04

07 Apr '04

Also, I think we should look at in this next release cycle the big picture of upcoming releases, evaluate other similar apps and think about what is necessary in our app (which is picking up serious steam). I will try and spend an afternoon evaluating and moving ideas from the feature proposals and scratchpad to RFEs... Thoughts?

Somebody has written a fairly complete PPT parser, it's in Gnumeric CVS in subdirs of gnumeric/src/cut-n-paste/goffice. Are there any further plans or active work happening on Inkview? -- - Charlie Charles Goodwin <charlie@...208...> Online @ http://www.charlietech.com

How to add <marker> objects to <def>
by Carl Hetherington 06 Apr '04

06 Apr '04

Hi, I'm having a hack at the code for arrow heads, but I've got myself properly confused. It seems that we have the SPItem class hierarchy (which contains SPMarker) and the repr tree, and that these are kept in sync with each other. So in which tree should I create my new marker object? AFAICS my alternatives are: 1. Do a sp_repr_new ("marker"), add it to the defs repr, set up the attributes using sp_repr_set_attr () etc. etc. 2. Create a SPMarker, and set up its struct with the required bits. So which should it be? And how to I propagate my changes from one tree to the other? I've just tried the first approach above and it works fine, except that the arrow heads only appear when you re-load the file. I think this is because a SPMarker is never created / initialised. Any enlightenment would be greatly appreciated. Carl
