by Bob Jamison 08 Apr '24

08 Apr '24

The win32 build, which was broken for the weekend, is working again. I just made a "manual autobuild" again, so that we can see how it looks on Windows: http://troi.titan-aeu.com/~rjamison/inkscape/builds/ Bob

Visual feedback while snapping
by Mathieu Dimanche 26 Apr '06

26 Apr '06

Hi everyone Since it's my first attempt at trying to make things improve in a software, using cvs, and trying to understand a whole project (and written in c++... sometimes), please don't be too harsh on me and on my english level, I'm just a little frenchy :) Very used to illustrator, I miss some little things that make life easier, like moreeffective snapping. So I tried to understand the whole object tree, reading both the doxygen and the code (...when there were comments) and finally managed to have a patch made. The functionnality is a pretty little one, I just made guides highlight when moved objects snap against them. For now, this only works for dragged objects and rectangles being drawed. I post this for anyone to check if I do right, naming functions, indenting, thinking the whole problem, so please, feel free to over-comment my "work", for me to know if I can go on with these kind of updates. This is the first patch of my life, I hope I've made it well. Could you test that ? Next things I could look at could be : - Snapping modes (enable/disable) Bounding box and dots snapping. I thik it could be great too temporarily disable bounding box snapping, just to make sure only dots do it. - Providing visual feedback of which of these is used now (you grab a rectangle, its bounding box snaps a guide, the guide turns red (default highlight color), and a little text appears along the guide saying (snapping to boungbox). If you drag farther, the boundingbox will stop snapping and it's the corner dot that will do, so the text'll be "dot snapping" or something like this... maybe snapped dots could be highlited too - Making grid lines highlight when snapped, just like guides (it was much easier for guides since they are separate objects and the color/hicolor alread existed) - Trying to make more snapping objects... maybe angled guides, objects themselves, middle of objects, etc... all these could be mode enabled/disabled. What do people think ? What feature would you like most ?

Help: Suitable cast to satisfy the below problem.

Hello, I'm trying to hack Inkscape 0.4.3 to compile on Solaris 10 x86, with Sun Studio 11.

"sp-item.cpp", line 310: Warning: repr hides SPObject::repr. 2 Error(s) and 5 Warning(s) detected. I suspect I need to correctly cast "reverse_list<SPObject::SiblingIterator>( SP_OBJECT_PARENT(this)->firstChild(), this)," (line 284 of sp-item.cpp) so that it resolves to "reverse_list(InputIterator start, InputIterator end)" in reverse-list.h. Am I right about this? If so, could someone enlighten me on how to cast it correctly? (I'm no C++ expert). Many thanks in advance. :) -- Regards, Jeremy

units
by Eric Wilhelm 31 Dec '05

31 Dec '05

Hi all, The good news is that svg2crs foo.svg | crs2xar > foo.xar is almost working. The bad news is that I can't figure out the "right way" to get inkscape units into inches. I found some constants in src/unit-constant.h which tell me that 90 units / inch is set at compile-time, but it seems like the svg file should contain something which makes that explicit. Of course, the svg spec only rambles on about user-agents determining something from their environment, but that seems way wrong for the uber-converter (what's the dpi of your terminal?) I guess svg was never intended to convey real-world dimensions? So, it looks like 90 units/inch is a good assumption, but I don't like to assume. Is there a "right way" to do this and/or is it something that inkscape should be writing into its svg? --Eric -- "If you only know how to use a hammer, every problem begins to look like a nail." --Richard B.

Temp Mingw distribution is broken
by William Swanson 31 Dec '05

31 Dec '05

Howdy, The build instructions for Win32 developers ( http://inkscape.org/win32/win32buildnotes.html) point to a zip file with a self-contained Mingw installation: <blockquote> *Note: Temporarily, I suggest that people use the preassembled Mingw working directory that we have assembled here<http://inkscape.org/win32/mingw-0510112028.zip>. It has the important pieces set up to compile the way we need them. Unzip it to c:\mingw.* </blockquote> This is great, except that the installation is missing some files. When I tried to build Inkscape on a fresh copy of Windows XP with this package, I encountered several build errors. To solve the problem, I unpacked the following official Mingw packages on top of the broken Inkscape-provided installation: gcc-core-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.gz<http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/gcc-core-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.gz?download> gcc-g++-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.gz<http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/gcc-g++-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.gz?download> mingw-runtime-3.9.tar.gz<http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/mingw-runtime-3.9.tar.gz?download> w32api-3.5.tar.gz<http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/w32api-3.5.tar.gz?download> This fixed the issues. Now that my Mingw install works, I've packed it up into an archive and placed it at www.swansontec.com/temp/mingw.7z. It would be great if someone with access to the server could replace the existing Mingw package with this one. The current URL is just my temporary file-transfer space, so the file needs to move to a more permananet home before linking to it. -s_tec

crash of text and font dialogue
by David Christian Berg 28 Dec '05

28 Dec '05

Hey guys! With latest CVS and an experimental Debian the text and font dialogue crashes right on trying to launch it. any clue, what might be wrong? Furthermore we're right now trying to do a script that makes it possible to extract the icons form the icons.svg in to single files. Let's see, how it works out. See you! David
