spirals
by Alexandre Prokoudine 11 Jul '07

Hi, A question in a design forum on drawing exact logariphmic spirals in One Well Known Application :-) triggered my interest to a way doing same thing in Inkscape. In fact Inkscape operates in other terms than all the geometric sources I read so far overnight. Divergence (or Linearity) sounds very much like Ratio, but 1,618 simply won't work for any amount Turns I've tried :) Apparently , if I divide Turns by 0,618 and input the result into Divergence, the resulted spiral will look pretty close to a Fibonacci spiral, but not exactly it. This brings me to a point we I don't quite understand what I'm doing :) Does Inkscape simply lack documentation to help people do the calculations? Can Inkscape make it easier for users by providing presets that would lock existing Spiral tool's options to some ratio so that one could pick, say, hyperbolic or archimedean or logarithmic spiral and draw as many turns as (s)he wishes?

Re: [Inkscape-devel] [Inkscape-user] noob. Can someone help me build/run?

Hey xl cheese, I'd recommend doing a clean checkout again from "https://inkscape.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/inkscape/inkscape/trunk" instead (note the inkscape at the beginning). That will ensure you won't run into the issue a few of our devs recently have. Also, since you're on Ubuntu, I'd recommend pulling up a terminal and doing "sudo apt-get build-dep inkscape" which will pull down the dependencies for you. I will be honest that I can't offer anything good advice-wise in trying to get eclipse to work as I've never used it. Gail, do you want to chime in? However, if you want to know the standard way to build (again in a terminal), after the initial checkout or when I make clean I do this: "svn up && ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make && sudo make install". Then I just typically do "svn up && make && sudo make install" after that. I also CCd the devel-list as well to get others input to perhaps help with Eclipse (and it's a good place to ask development related Qs in general)... Hopefully the above is at least a little helpful for you...

smaller commands toolbar
by Alexandre Prokoudine 11 Jul '07

Hi, The "Make commands toolbar smaller" option from Preferences dialog seems to make the opposite effect: the toolbar is smaller when the option is disabled. Is this intentional? Am I the only one to see it? Alexandre

That would be great! Maybe we could also have an additional checkbox to link the nudge distance to the grid-spacing. I'm an engineer and I _love_ grids ;-) Diederik

Selector keybinding change
by bulia byak 10 Jul '07

10 Jul '07

* Draging the scale handles with Alt now scales selection by an integer factor, i.e. up to 2, 3, 4, etc. times the original size or down to 1/2. 1/3, 1/4, etc. of the original size (in any of the two dimensions independently). This replaces the old and rarely used "slow" scaling mode with Alt. Admittedly this use of Alt is not very consistent with others - I would prefer to use Ctrl for that but it's already used for preserving ratio. At least, this mode is much more useful than the Sodipodi-era, very counterintuitive old "slow" mode where a move of the mouse pointer resulted in 1/10 of the displacement. -- bulia byak Inkscape.

moves
by bulia byak 10 Jul '07

1. I moved the 3D box tool back under Rect on the toolbar - it's definitely one of the shape tools and most logically belongs with other shapes. 2. I moved the filter effects dialog to Object menu under Fill and Stroke, instead of the Effects menu. The two kinds of "effects" are confusing enough as they are, even without further confounding them by placing them into one menu. -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

* Previously, the only way to switch selection from scale mode to rotate mode or back was to click on it, which was rather inconvenient when the selected object is in a group or under other objects. Now you can switch modes with keyboard as well by pressing Shift+S in Selector tool. -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

Re: [Inkscape-devel] WebDav class patch submitted today

Yes, it does. Since we can already set this at config time, would be better to vut down dependencies...

I've found some libs that support WebDav, when I was searching about it. I should had explained better, I'm not starting from the scratch. I'm using the neon lib, an WebDAV client library, http://www.webdav.org/neon/. It has worked fine for our purpose. I don't know the gnome-vsf library too much, I will try to study it better.

WebDav class patch submitted today
by Bruno Dilly 08 Jul '07

08 Jul '07

Hi, I'm Bruno and I'm working in the Export to/Import from Open Clip Art Library gsoc project. Today I submitted a patch (item #1749698) with the webdav class, that implements all the necessary webdav methods. If you could take a look in it, I will be grateful. Soon I will submit an Export to OCAL patch, that will use this class to store files in webdav servers. See you
