Re: [Inkscape-devel] rect improvements

>1: Create two equal squares >2: round the cornern, so that you get a circle >3: Scale one of the squares horizontal and the other one vertically Just tried this: - when I scale by selector, I get two ellipses - when I "scale" by the bottom right handle in rect tool, I get two rects with circular ends In both cases, there's no difference between the shapes (except for direction). So please check again and report in more detail how you managed to get the result you describe. _________________________________________________________________ Free yourself from those irritating pop-up ads with MSn Premium.

Do you mean the pattern fill not being scaled, or something differnt? Which bug report #? _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN Premium.

>Also, I think as a side-effect from the image-in-a-rect work going on, >the PS output no longer seems to include images; but that doesn't seem >to be from my changes, I don't think. Now that is serious. It will be a pity to lose the shaped images capability because of PS being unable to handle pattern fills. We really need a PS expert to do a facelift of our PS export code. Can we get any help from Scribus on that? _________________________________________________________________ Free yourself from those irritating pop-up ads with MSn Premium.

[BUG] PostScript saving (Locale issue: 961568)
by Gustav Broberg 28 May '04

28 May '04

Ok, I think this issue has been discussed before in this list/newsgroup, but I couldn't find any report in the bugtracker. The locale issue with file saving was fixed for the SVG-format, but remains for PostScript. If the locales (LC_...) are set to a language which use comma-sign (',') as decimal-separator, the PostScript file will use them as such. This is wrong -- it shouldn't be localized, but fixed set to dot ('.'). Therefor, setting LC_ALL=C solves the issue temporary. I've added this to the bugtracker, item 961568. Tried version: snapshot 20040526 / Gustav excuse my poor english..

And actually, I'm going to change this menu into a couple of toggle buttons (to the right of the solid/gradient fill buttons) so it will be more graphic and easy to understand, plus it will take less space. _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the MSN Premium and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=ht…

No. By default fill is transformed together with the rect. This is what happens now when you set Store transforms to Preserve. >also want the pattern to scale with the object, when ctrl is pressed >while scaling. Eventually this will be the default that will work in all modes. You'll be able to turn it off if you wish but this is the default behavior.

The image may have its own transparency, such as alpha shannel in PNG. >What I'm criticising is that you eventually give up the idea of a >patternfill, to make a workarround for clipping paths. >I don't know about you, but I think, whose of you who do the coding will >end up throwing all this stuff away pretty soon because real clipping >paths are implemented. No it won't end up thrown away. Clipping paths are an entirely different story. _________________________________________________________________ Free yourself from those irritating pop-up ads with MSn Premium.

Oh my, I always forget that anonymous CVS lags behind. Just wait a day and try again. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN Premium.
