bad transparency export
by David Christian Berg 11 May '04

11 May '04

Hi guys, I'm using the build from 6th of May... and the export of gradient with transparency is somewhat messed up when you make excessive use of it... it works fine, if you have a background color to export. picture one is with white as bg color exported, picture two is with the background filled in gimp. Does anybody have the same problem or can reproduce it? David -- Otto von Bismarck once remarked: “A fool learns from his experience. A wise person learns from the experience of others.” If so, how to define President George W. Bush, who is not even able to learn from his own experience?

bitmap fill patch
by bulia byak 10 May '04

10 May '04

Simarilius, I finally reviewed your pattern fill patch. It works :) - Why does it only work for bitmaps? AFAIK the mechanism is pretty similar for fills out of SVG objects, so why not enable them as well. - I would expect it to show me the bitmaps imported into the document in the list as well, not only those i specifically import from the dialog. - Most importantly, there's no way to adjust the position of the bitmap inside a path. Ideally I would like to see on-canvas handles that would let me to arbitrarily move, scale, rotate, and skew the fill inside the path, but for the patch to be usable, _at least_ move must be implemented. You may try to create an arena in the dialog, similar to those in the gradient tabs, that would show the bbox rect of the object and a draggable handle that positions the fill's top left corner (you can steal most of the code from gradient tabs). - A related bug that must be fixed: objects that write transforms with optimization, such as path, do not update the position of the fill. So that looks like you're moving a window into an unmoving wall of repeating bitmap tiles. Non-optimizing objects (ellipse) work as expected, transforming their fill with them. Better yet, it would be nice to have a switch that would allow me to enable any of these two behaviors for any object. _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?

NRArenaShape and SPStyle
by MenTaLguY 10 May '04

Just a quick heads up that I'm working on removing the SPStyle dependency from NRArenaShape. This should permit a cleaner separation between the renderer and the SPItem layer, as well as making future style cleanups much easier... -mental

>dx/dy and letterspacing are not the way i intend to >store glyph coordinates in the layout; x/y attributes >are. Why? The most likely failure scenario is that the font used originally is not found or has different metrics. In this case, using letter/word spacing will result in wrong line lengths, but the text itself will remain readable. Using x/y will _almost_ (but not quite, due to the last letter) preserve line lengths, but may render text ugly or even completely unreadable, with letters overlapping each other etc. I think the first case (wrong line lengths) is much preferable to the second. Besides, line/word spacing settings per line take much less space in the source file. this is just a preliminary test to see if >something is badly fucked up. note that on this >sample, inkscape screws up somewhere in the advance of >glyphs, since it ends with a total length smaller than >what pango computes, hence the letterspacing (ie. the >dx attribute) doesn't compensate fully and the right >of the text is not the right of the text shape > > > 4 Currently your sample works in Batik, but crashes > > Inkscape on load :) > >i'm a 'printf debugger', so this is normal output. but >it works fine here. maybe some messing up with >deleting the children of the group or something like >that. also note that inkscape will not render the text >correctly when loading, because it can't get the >shape's curve (since the element it queries for the >shape is initialized after it), but as soon as you >change the shape, it will layout the text (in the >shape before the change, so this is still fucked up, >but hopefully i'll find a way around) > > > > > > >Vous manquez d�espace pour stocker vos mails ? >Yahoo!

Fred, Now that I see your sample, it's truly grand. Something like that we were contemplating with njh some time ago, but it seemed like a long time away :) A few points: 1 Why don't you use standard URIs for linking the typeset group with its shape? i.e. instead of non-standard inkscape:dstShape="[rect1525]" I propose inkscape:dstShape="#rect1525" which will allow you to use the standard URIReference class. 2 You use dx for spacing the line, but since all dx values are the same, it's much easier to add a letter-spacing property, e.g.: style="font-family:Luxi Sans;font-size:12.000000;letter-spacing:0.345123" That will work out of the box. Still better would be using word-spacing for small stretches, and add some letter-spacing when stretch becomes too large (with user-settable threshold). The word-spacing property is not yet supported, but it's easy to add it - just let me know and I'll implement it. 3 When all dy values are 0, you don't need to set the dy vector at all. 4 Currently your sample works in Batik, but crashes Inkscape on load :) typeset 82e0910: n src= The Digital Millennium Copyright Act, better known as the DMCA, is a travesty of law. The act (summary available here in PDF form) was passed in 1998 and since this period of time it has been used in the most egregious ways to shut down Fair Use and competition in the marketplace. From being used to justify illegal subpoenas, to making reverse engineering easily preventable, to shutting down toner cartridge competition, to killing off Fair Use, the law is a major blow to consumer interests. While some uses of the DMCA have met stiff rebuttals from the judiciary (e.g., Lexmark toner ploy was defeated for now), the law remains in need of revocation or serious reworking.

"ugly icons" problem

Well! It looks like g_ascii_strtod is NOT totally locale safe! What a shame. Here are the reports from my debugging of src/svg/svg-affine.cpp, sp_svg_transform_read: Under "C" locale: took 1 chars from '1,0,0,0.999999,4.42378e-08,-1.09524e-06)' to make 1.000000 took 1 chars from '0,0,0.999999,4.42378e-08,-1.09524e-06)' to make 0.000000 took 1 chars from '0,0.999999,4.42378e-08,-1.09524e-06)' to make 0.000000 took 8 chars from '0.999999,4.42378e-08,-1.09524e-06)' to make 0.999999 took 11 chars from '4.42378e-08,-1.09524e-06)' to make 0.000000 took 12 chars from '-1.09524e-06)' to make -0.000001 Under "fr_FR" locale: took 3 chars from '1,0,0,0.999999,4.42378e-08,-1.09524e-06)' to make 1,000000 took 3 chars from '0,0.999999,4.42378e-08,-1.09524e-06)' to make 0,000000 took 7 chars from '.999999,4.42378e-08,-1.09524e-06)' to make 0,999999 took 11 chars from '4.42378e-08,-1.09524e-06)' to make 0,000000 took 12 chars from '-1.09524e-06)' to make -0,000001 Yuck! (And it works correctly under "LANG=fr_FR LC_NUMERIC=C", further proving it to be locale-sensitive.)
