Afaik, the Wimp stuff is integrated in GTK and no longer a separate project.

That are not the default Gnome, but the default GTK icons. Inkscape is not
a Gnome program.

To just change the default GTK (not winp ;) ) icon theme to Tango and
change the icon.svg file would work for Windows. But Tango is more then
just an icon theme, it's a new framework. Please note that older iconsets
can be used with our new framework -- and, once ported, will work across
the desktops in a consistent manner.
If Inkscape would use the Tango ArtLibreSet[1] and not the icons.svg we could
change the Incscape, Scribus and Gimp icons just by changing one iconset.

by Jon Phillips
Is there anyone in the UK who wants to help setup and participate in
this event? It is a great opportunity. What developers do we have in the
UK and or nearby?
I participated in the US version of this in AUG for Creative Commons and
we made massive contacts.
Please email back if you are interested on this list so we can hash out
a plan and esp. if you are in UK/EU.

Lorem ipsum extension

I'll see if I can get 5 :-)
Michael-1)
I'm imagining this as an imagemagick extension, so I'll put these together.
I'd like an export that will let me specify a bg color for the png, or
let me export to bmp, jpg or anything else imagemagick supports.
Michael-2)
Word-Art extension that takes whatever text (or object) is selected
and projects it to be 3d, on a curve, zooming into the background etc.
like the Word-Art in MS Word.
Michael-3)
Decorative border adder
Around all the paths on an object, apply the selected border type. For
example, if the user chose a triangle border, nodes would be added to
the path and spaces such the edge has a saw-tooth look when it's done.
User could also select curvy or square edges.
(eg. http://stuporglue.org/downloads/edger.png)
Michael-4)
Color Scheme palette generator. Generate a web color palette with
complimenting and contrasting colors based on the currently chosen
color. Similar to how this page does:
http://wellstyled.com/tools/colorscheme2/index-en.html
Michael-5)
Export all groups as pngs. Choose an output directory, and every top
level object would get output as a png to that directory. By top level
object, I mean a single object if it's not in a group, or a group of
objects, but not entering into groups to export their individual
components.

Oh, the woes of no standard mechanism for upload...if only these sites
all used webdav...

Oh, btw, for ccHost, there is a python commandline script in the bin
folder of the main ccHost folder called publishcchost which allows one
to publish a media file to ccHost from the commandline...thus, it should
be easily adaptable for uploading any type of media to Open Clip Art
Library or any ccHost installation.
I'm looking to add webdav to ccHost soon too, btw...

Getting started with the CAD tools...
by Redefined Horizons
I've got an hour or two at the end of this work to get started on my
CAD tools for Inkscape. (I checked out a couple of books on C++ from
my local library in case I get stuck on something.) :]
First let me ask a question, and then I'll explain my plan. (You guys
can let me know if the plan is feasible with Inkscape's architecture.)
Where can I find the classes used to represent Inkscape's geometries?
(I'm assuming that each geometry type is represented by a separate
class file. Let me know if this is incorrect.)
I've dowloaded the source code for Inkscape 0.44, but I couldn't find
a "geometry" folder in the "src" folder of the distribution. I imagine
there would be a class file for rectangles, circles, elipses, lines,
polylines and polygons. (Unless rectangles are represented as
polylines and elipses as modified circles...)
Now, for my plan of attack...
Here is a basic description of my goal for the CAD tools:
Tools that allow the user to create the basic Inkscape geometries
using precise coordinate entry. (For example, the user could enter
coordinates into a dialog box for the two endpoints of a line and then
create that line, or they might enter the coordinate for the start
point of the line, and then an angle and distance that would be used
to compute the endpoint of the line.) Or the user might use other
tools to select the precise coodinates of existing geometries as the
input for such a tool, instead of entering the coordinates directly.
(For example, selecting the coordinate at the midpoint of a line and
the node of a polygon, and drawing the line with these exact
coordinates as the two endpoints.) These tools will also allow the
user to precisely modify existing geometries. (For example, move a
polygon by precisely selecting two coorinates on existing geometries
to compute the change in X and change in Y for the translation.)
Here is what I need to do:
[1] Design and implement what I call "coordinate selectors". These are
tools that allow very precise selection of points on the canvas.
Typically these points will be selected from existing geometries.I
would like to implement the following coordinate selectors for
Inkscape:
End Point (The coordinate at the end point of a line or polyline.)
Mid Point (The coordinate at the mid point of a line, polyline
segment, or polygon segment.)
Nearest Node (The coordinate at the node nearest to center of
selection window created by a mouse drag on the canvas.)
All Nodes (The coordinates of all nodes within a selection window
created by a mouse drag on the canvas.)
Perpendicular (The coordinate at point on a line, polyline segment,
polygon segment, or projection of any of these segments that is
perpendicular to another selected point.)
Intersection (The coordinate of the point at the intersection of two
or more lines, polyline segments, or polygon segments.)
Offset (The coordinate of a point created by projecting an offset
along the alignment or direction of two other points and a fixed
distance.)
Projected Intersection (The coordinate of a point located at the
projected intersection of any two lines, polyline segments, or polygon
segments.)
I'll get started by examing the geometry classes, which I will need to
use in my calculations for the coordinate tools. But I will also need
to figure out how to add a tool to Inkscapes user interface that
allows the user to drag a window on the canvas and then
programatically access the geometries or shapes that are contained by
or intersect that window. (Perhaps I can use the exisitng
pointer/selection tool in Inkscape?)
Let me know what you think of this plan, and let me know how I can get
to those geometry classes.
Scott Huey
P.S. - I can program the coordinate selectors in a way that allows
them to be used by other developer's tools, not just the ones I
design. For example, in OpenJUMP I am building coordinate selectors
that can store there selected coordinates on a "Coordinate Clipboard"
that can be accessed by the user or programatically.

Layered export for LaTeX
by Jan Gacnik
Hello,
welcome everybody. I am new to Inkscape and this list.
:)
Let me explain my situation. I am an electrical
engineer and currently working towards my PhD degree,
for that reason I am using LaTeX very often. Since the
very first moment I had a problem to find a proper
application to create vector-based graphics in a
convenient way. The special problem is that the labels
in the graphics should use the LaTeX fonts and macros
that I use in my paper.
The only application that supports this (up to my
knowledge) is XFig. The vector based graphics itself
are being exported as Postscript or PDF. An additonal
LaTeX file containing the labels is generated that
includes the PS/PDF graphics file. At compile-time,
LaTeX puts the text above the PS/PDF graphics, just at
the position where it should be. - That is just a
great for me (and a lot of others I know)!
The problem with XFig is the following:
- Usability (argh!)
- Portability (at work I have Windows, I did not find
a proper Version of XFig, JFig that did the same job
as it does on my Mac)
Form what I have seen from Inkscape it has a very good
usability and is platform-independent, a very good
place to start from. :)
Since I have seen others requesting this "layered
LaTeX export feature" on lists and forums, but I did
not see that it was coded, I hereby volunteer to
implement this feature. I hope to get some help from
this list to implement this feature into Inkscape.
I only had a 2 minutes look at the sources, but my
plans are roughly like that:
- descent the document tree, find text items, write
them to a LaTeX file, remove them form the tree
- pass the graphics-only document tree to the standard
PS/PDF export routines
Could it work out that way?
Greetings,
Jan

Inkscape
by
Bryce Harrington
<bryce@...1...>
Inkscape is an Open Source vector graphics editor, with capabilities
similar to Illustrator, Freehand, CorelDraw, or Xara X using the
W3C standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format.
Supported SVG features include shapes, paths, text, markers,
clones, alpha blending, transforms, gradients, patterns, and
grouping. Inkscape also supports Creative Commons meta-data,
node editing, layers, complex path operations, bitmap tracing,
text-on-path, flowed text, direct XML editing, and more. It imports
formats such as JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and others and exports PNG as
well as multiple vector-based formats.
Inkscape's main goal is to create a powerful and convenient drawing
tool fully compliant with XML, SVG, and CSS standards. We also aim
to maintain a thriving user and developer community by using open,
community-oriented development process, and by making sure Inkcape
is easy to learn, to use, and to extend.
*******************************************************************
