changing font size within text
by David Christian Berg 11 Jan '05

Hey guys, just wondering, if there's a way to change the font size within a <text> element. Basically I guess I need a <tspan> but they create new lines, which I don't want. Thanx in advance! David

Ashwin, Cairo also has a SVG presentation type tool. Here's some info on it.

Yes, the tool was 'xsvg'; our simple svg viewer application which can be found in cairo CVS. It's far from a complete presentation tool, but it suffices for our needs. We use an xslt transformation to convert a simple slide xml format into svg. All of that is in cairo-artwork module. It's quite broken and has to be hacked extensively to restyle it for a new talk. -keith

nightly builds issue
by Alexandre Prokoudine 11 Jan '05

11 Jan '05

Hi, I have a problem compiling Inkscape from nightly builds in GNU/Linux: after ./configure: --- Configuration: Source code location: . Destination path prefix: /usr/local Compiler: g++ CPPFLAGS: CXXFLAGS: -Wall -W -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wsign-compare -Woverloaded-virtual -Wswitch -Wno-unused-parameter -g -O2 LDFLAGS: Use Xft font database: yes Use gnome-print: no Use openoffice files: yes Use MMX optimizations: yes Use relocation support: no --- I do: --- [avp@...33... inkscape-0.40cvs]$ make make: *** No rule to make target `configure.in', needed by `Makefile.in'. Stop. --- I have: [avp@...33... scribus-1.3.0cvs]$ rpm -qa | grep auto | sort autoconf_2.5-2.59-alt3 autoconf-common-0.2-alt1 automake_1.6-1.6.3-alt6 automake_1.7-1.7.9-alt1 automake_1.8-1.8.5-alt1 automake-common-0.2-alt1 I don't have that problem with usual CVS snapshot I get with cvs up -Pd, but I don't have a possibility to grab CVS myself very often. What could be reason for that error message? Alexandre

AGG backend?
by Chris 11 Jan '05

11 Jan '05

Has anyone looked into using AGG (http://www.antigrain.com) as the low level back-end? AGG itself seems very low-level in some places, which might cause problems but it seems very functional. I searched this list and found another reference that said it might be good for being able to add the SVG filter support. Personally, I would love to finally have that functionality. I made a real quick look at the code and it looked nice and seems flexible. In my limited testing I found that it was extremely fast. It doesn't have much in the way of SVG support though. There is an example SVG viewer but barely has any functionality. I suppose Inkscape would just keep its current SVG stuff anyway. I was just wondering if anyone had looked into it and if they found any serious issues. I assume Inkscape switched from librsvg to livarot for some good reason and I'm just wondering if AGG was a consideration. -- // Chris

First try at multiple tracing
by Bob Jamison 10 Jan '05

10 Jan '05

Hi, all, Today I finally got an initial (very rough) ability to scan an image multiple times, and produce multiple paths. The trace option I added today does: 1) Quantizes a bitmap into a reduced number of colors or shades of gray 2) Separates out each color, and traces it (much like taking four-color art to your local print shop). 3) Scans each one, applies the color to it. 4) Assembles them as a <g>roup. It seems to do fairly well with simple images, but complex ones have a "Potrace problem". What I mean is that since Potrace traced an estimate around each region, the reassembled curves do not exactly tile together again. You might need a background shade or something to keep the white background from peeking through. But give it a try. It should be a bit of fun. If anyone can think of a good general algorithm for stitching together two adjacent curves, give it a try. There will be more stuff later, of course. The 'differing levels of brightness' thing will be added soon. Bob
