lindenmayer.py
by dsign 27 May '06

27 May '06

I did a few fixups to lindenmayer.py. The original script is already great, but needed to remove something that seems to me a bug (the extra-segment stuff). Also expanded a litle the syntax for the rules, so you now can use A, B, C, D and F for making the job of F, and G,H,I,J,K,L for making the job of G. As in the original script, you can use other letters to produce only gramatical expansions and no graphical effects. Now it's posible to render Sierpinski triangles. See the attached file to see the problems and the extra stuff.

toggle layers without selecting
by Jon A. Cruz 27 May '06

27 May '06

Just a quick FYI... I think I've figured out a way to do this. I'll put it all together and get it in a little later. The main thing will be to see that it works on GTK+ 2.8 as well.

Lindmayer effect doesn't work as expected
by dsign 27 May '06

27 May '06

I don't get the simple samples at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindenmayer_system working correctly with the extension, the images are indeed very different. Is this intentional (there is a reason for that) or not?

Latex rendering on linux and windows
by lapnect 27 May '06

27 May '06

Hi, There are two versions of eqtexsvg.py script - one works fine on windows and Tav's version works on linux. So, I decided trying to make a mixed version of eqtexsvg.py using OS detection stuff. Is it safe to detect OS by testing of os.name variable in python ? Posibble names are: 'posix', 'nt', 'dos', 'os2', 'mac', or 'ce' and I assume linux='posix' and windows='nt'. Another question is how to make dynamic dependencies (OS based - if it's possible) in .inx file ? lapnect

Bug pruning.
by Jon A. Cruz 27 May '06

27 May '06

As I was going through looking for bugs to grab, I noticed a few that might be out of date and/or easy targets for removal. If anyone could take a look at them, that could be helpful. [ 1005626 ] Right Mouse Button dialogue pops up during bezier curves [ 1018798 ] open dialog: paste filename, press Enter, wrong file loads [ 1061934 ] visible child in hidden parent [ 1114900 ] vector.tcc error, GCC 3.4.3

Bezier mathematicians anyone ?
by Justin Wikinator 27 May '06

27 May '06

So, this is a callout to anyone who is familiar with the mathematics of beziers, I need your help, generally, but also specifically. Generally, if you would be willing to volunteer as someone I can consult with on bezier math, that would be great, give me a shout. Specifically, I want to write a method that outputs a list of equally spaced points along a bezier BUT, I don't mean equally spaced t-values for the bezier -- I can already do this -- I mean points that are of equal distance along the bezier. I'm almost certain the two are distinct. Any suggestions ? A lot of potential functionality for path effects seem to rest on this ability.

Inkscape 0.44 Bug Bet
by Ralf Stephan 26 May '06

26 May '06

This is to announce I made a bet with Bryce to the tune of EUR 20 that inkscape people are not able to reach 200 points of fixed bugs within a week, payable to the inkscape project if wrong. The date is 2006-Jun-01 07:20 GMT. ralf

Test harness back online, and updated to the latest debian packages (thanks to kees). We're at 11 warnings... Besides the depricated messages (which we're ignoring), there's a new warning related to swatches, and some with the canvas that I don't recognize (offset macro?)

Render Latex Equation fails on Linux distributions
by Raul Durand 26 May '06

26 May '06

Render Latex Equation fails on Linux distributions The Render Latex equation Extension fails. The python file eqtexsvg.py fails in two places: 1. This escript calls latex with -output-directory option wich does not exist in common Latex Linux distributions. It can be solved easily avoiding the -output-directory option using python commands to manage the generated files. 2. This script calls pstoedit with -f svg option but standar pstoedit for Linux distributions do not include a svg driver!! This driver must be installed separately, and seems to be quite hard to find it out for free. Good work. Raul Durand. raul.durand@...400...
