win32 build working again
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

filter for inkscape and OpenDocument
by Jon Phillips 28 May '05

28 May '05

Heya, I just read your nice interview at groklaw (http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20050130002908154). First of all, this is really exciting, but I wonder if you could write up more about what is needed of Inkscape for this new format. I see in your interview you note that there is a needed filter for Inkscape, but it is not clarified what this means. I'm cc'ing the Inkscape development list about this. I just wonder how this OpenDocument format (the newly standardized open office xml format) relates to Inkscape and what you are asking to be done. Or do you want a filter that say one has an SVG file, then one can convert that to an OpenDocument file. I don't think that would be difficult. But, what about OpenOffice support for the SVG file format? Please copy me and/or the Inkscape-devel list and I will make sure they get the response. Or, please reply to me and the list if you are on Inkscape's list.

LaTeX Export
by Michael Forbes 10 May '05

10 May '05

I am trying to develop a barebones LaTeX export extension. I have wrote the code mostly based of the PovRay export and included the .h and .cpp file in src/extension/internal/Makefile_insert. libinternal.a includes the extension but the main program does not. Can anyone help me with this? Thank you. -Michael Forbes ------------------------------------------------------------ Student System Operator binx.mbhs.edu BEN Manager http://ben.mbhs.edu BNC Internet Division http://bnc.mbhs.edu MBHS Webmaster http://www.mbhs.edu BlazerNet President http://blazernet.mbhs.edu Computer Team Co-President http://computerteam.mbhs.edu MBLUG President http://mblug.mbhs.edu ------------------------------------------------------------

translation of HACKING and README
by Arpad Biro 09 May '05

Hi, We have a French translation for inkscape/HACKING and inkscape/README in the tracker: http://sf.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1190412&group_id=93438&atid… I committed them as inkscape/HACKING.fr and inkscape/README.fr respectively. Please let me know if we should use some other filename or location instead. Arpad Biro __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

plan for Postscript import
by MenTaLguY 02 May '05

02 May '05

I've been examining our options for importing postscript without requiring a bajillion evil dependencies, and I think I've arrived at a plan. 1) write a postscript to SVG converter in Postscript and use that for our Postscript importer 2) write a bare-bones standalone Postscript interpreter (doesn't need to implement any rendering, just provide a dummy postscipt device) and ship it with Inkscape Until #2 is finished, we can run the converter using Ghostscript, which is still two fewer dependencies than before. I've got prototypes for both #1 and #2 in CVS in the module 'ps3convert'. The prototype interpreter is written in Ruby and isn't really functional yet, but the converter (currently encapsulated in the ps-svg shell script) already works for the basic stuff. Running the converter: ./ps-svg blah.ps > blah.svg Caveats with the converter: * it's a proof-of-concept; hence the code is horribly ugly * it doesn't yet do text, gradients or clipping paths * the image in the output SVG appears above the top of the page, so you have to scroll up to see it Also one last caveat: I'm not promising any timetables on this stuff. So don't bug me to finish it. You'll probably find giving me patches to be the more productive alternative. -mental

sp_repr_type_lookup
by rm 30 Apr '05

30 Apr '05

hi, looking at the code, the mapping of the xml node types to GTypes seems a bit inflexible and assumes there's a one to one relationship. i was thinking of using a specialized SPGroup to implement a feature, but when the group operation is invoked from the UI it only adds the svg:g xml node; a listener callback is invoked and an SPGroup is created. i could use my own tag, but this would mess up other svg viewers unnecessarily (the feature i want just has to do with how the group is handled during interaction not with its display). ideally, i'd want to use something like <svg:g inkscape:variant="my special group">...</svg:g> so i'd have to use the element's attributes as a secondary key to cause it to create MySpecialSPGroup with modified behaviour. the alternative would be to use a different tag or add the new behaviour to the normal SPGroup (which seems bad from a design perspective). any thoughts? regards, rob ---- Robert Melby uucp: ...!{decvax,hplabs,ncar,purdue,rutgers}!org!arcsin!rm

swatches
by bulia byak 30 Apr '05

30 Apr '05

Jon, It's good to see the swatches being worked on. Shift+click now works, which is excellent. Some comments: - please remove the padding between the swatches (not only does this waste space, but also makes the colors harder to discern due to a well-known optical illusion) - please make it remember the display mode and the loaded palette across sesssions (and the window size/placement too, of course) - please do something with the menu and X buttons, they are rather ugly (why don't you just copy them over from Gimp, they're nice there) - please fix it to not display the scrollbars when they are not needed - could you add a "no color" button to the beginning of each palette, which would set "none" to either fill or stroke - what is eek-preview.cpp? is it temporary? if not could you please rename it to something more useful? -- bulia byak Inkscape.
