svgslice: guide vs. rect methods?
by Lee Braiden 29 Jul '05

29 Jul '05

The previous version I did of svgslice allowed slicing by drawing rectangular areas to slice, AND slicing by the use of guides. The guides are quite inflexible, though, and and became largely obsolete when the rectangle-based method was done. Rectangles allow overlapping areas, and specifying things like the slice name in the rectangle's properties. Eventually, it could allow things like setting the output format for that slice, and its compression level, etc. Guides *are* a bit faster for simple stuff like just slicing an image into two halves. But I'm a little concerned about the confusion for users of having two separate methods, etc. Would anyone miss the guide-based method if I left it out and focused on the more flexible method? As long as you can snap rectangles to a grid, it shouldn't be too different. -- Lee Braiden http://www.DigitalUnleashed.com

Btw, I don't understand why people think that it's a good idea to borrow pdf exporting code from Scribus and do not mention very nice EPS importing code in the same Scribus ;) Alexandre

dependency graphs in doc/ proposal
by Ralf Stephan 29 Jul '05

29 Jul '05

Hello, I have placed a section about code modules at the bottom of http://www.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?DeveloperManual containing links to ten dependency graphs which are IMHO quite interesting when mutually compared. If you agree they should be in the distribution doc/ directory, please speak up, and I'll commit them. ralf

Quoting bulia byak <buliabyak@...400...>: > Argh. I fixed that bug yesterday in CVS. Sorry it was my mistake. Should we wait a week or so (in case any other issues show up) and do a paper bag release (0.42.1) which patches them? -mental

Dynamically changing SVGView
by De Winne, Joris 28 Jul '05

28 Jul '05

Hello, First of all, congratulations with the 0.42 release. I'll install it today or tomorow. I'm working on Inkscape to create an SVGViewer. Now I've seen in Inkscape that when I add in the user interface a rectangle, this rectangle is automatically added into the xml representation and also rendered. I would like to do the same, but with more complex structures. To give an example: I'm listening on a socket and on that socket I can receive structures in the form: <svg> <rect .... /> <rect .... /> <rect .... /> <rect .... /> .... </svg> Those structures I want to add to my SPDocument and render them automatically without recreating a new SPDocument. Does somebody know where I can find the code that is adding the rectangle in the Inkscape User Interface to the xml file and automatically renders the rectangle? Any help is always welcome.

Bulia and Cyreve, What will it take to get justified alignment working? Man, I wish I knew what you guys are working on...you guys are like submarines with your ideas...Maybe you could both outline your plans and what you are working on and that way others might also help out. But whatever, you guys have a style of working down that works, so I don't want to break that. ;) Jon -- Jon Phillips San Francisco, CA USA PH 510.499.0894 jon@...235... http://www.rejon.org MSN, AIM, Yahoo Chat: kidproto Jabber Chat: rejon@...896...
