bitmap rendering is too slow
by Roberto A. Foglietta 20 Jun '08

20 Jun '08

Hi to all, I use inkscape and I am happy of it. I am writing here because I realized export bitmap function is too slow in particular when there are some object with blur option sets high. If I save the drawing in plain SVG and import it with gimp it take just few seconds instead many tents of minutes. I hope this help you to grab from gimp a more efficient algorithm which may be used to rendere the draw too which, with blurred object, is very low too. However I see that inkscape rendering is slight better than gimp's one but in many low-res application and in show-and-try-again or in view rendering such excellence are not required and takes too much time. Please leave me in CC aswering this email because I am subscribed to this m-list by digest. Cheers, -- /roberto

Cairo PDF output and pdflatex issues
by rhenwood User 20 Jun '08

20 Jun '08

Hi Folks, I'm running the Inkscape distributed with Ubuntu 8.04 [Inkscape 0.46, built Apr 7 2008] and PDFLatex included with the distribution. When I save a drawing from Inkscape as 'Cairo PDF' I am unable to include it into my document with pdflatex: PDF inclusion: Page Group detected which pdfTeX can't handle. Ignoring it. I suspect Cairo export is configured to export page groups in anticipation of multi-page Inkscape in the future.... but this is speculation on my part. What is apparent, however, is that Inkscape cannot be used as a drawing companion with pdfLatex out-of-the-box on the latest Ubuntu. This is (for me at least) a break in my workflow. Any suggestions for a workaround? cheers, richard

Anyone up to manning a booth?
by Jon A. Cruz 20 Jun '08

20 Jun '08

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone might be up to manning a booth for LugRadio Live UK? http://lugradio.org/live/UK2008/ It is coming up fairly soon, but as of the beginning of the week they still had some room for exhibiting. I won't be able to make it, but the one in the USA was very good. If anyone could make it there to have an Inkscape presence, we could get together demo art, fliers that can be printed, etc.

GTK file dialogs on Windows
by Bill Baxter 19 Jun '08

19 Jun '08

I didn't realize these new native file dialogs on Windows were going to completely replace the GTK ones. I actually find the GTK ones to be easier to use because of those handy user links you can make on the left, and because of the way incremental search works. I figured there would be something in Preferences to bring back the GTK dialog, but I couldn't find such a thing. Is it just hiding from me somewhere? --bb

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Problem compiling win32 svn-18969
by Bob Jamison 18 Jun '08

Mr Sonic, :-) Try deleting build.dep, then running buildtool again. This forces it to refresh the dependency cache, scanning the source directory again. This happens automatically when you do a clean build, but of course you don't want to do that every time. A good rule is to always do this when you do an "svn up" and see any A's or D's for .cpp files. bob -----Original Message----- >From: Docsonic <docsonic@...58...> >Sent: Jun 18, 2008 10:12 AM >To: inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net >Subject: [Inkscape-devel] Problem compiling win32 svn-18969 > > >When I try to compile svn-18969 on WinXP I get an slew error at the linking >stage - > >Make error line 366: LINK problem: >build\libinkscape.a(sp-shape.o):sp-shape.cpp: >(.text+0x1e13): undefined reference to >`bounds_exact_transformed(std::vector<Geo >m::Path, std::allocator<Geom::Path> > const&, Geom::Matrix const&)' >build\libinkscape.a(effect.o):effect.cpp:(.text+0x76d): undefined reference >to ` >Inkscape::LivePathEffect::LPECopyRotate::LPECopyRotate(LivePathEffectObject*)' >build\libinkscape.a(effect.o):effect.cpp:(.text+0x7a3): undefined reference >to ` >Inkscape::LivePathEffect::LPEParallel::LPEParallel(LivePathEffectObject*)' >build\libinkscape.a(effect.o):effect.cpp:(.text+0x7bf): undefined reference >to ` >Inkscape::LivePathEffect::LPECircle3Pts::LPECircle3Pts(LivePathEffectObject*)' >build\libinkscape.a(effect.o):effect.cpp:(.text+0x7db): undefined reference >to ` >Inkscape::LivePathEffect::LPEAngleBisector::LPEAngleBisector(LivePathEffectObjec >t*)' >build\libinkscape.a(nr-arena-shape.o):nr-arena-shape.cpp:(.text+0x2ce0): >undefin >ed reference to `bounds_fast_transformed(std::vector<Geom::Path, >std::allocator< >Geom::Path> > const&, Geom::Matrix const&)' >build\libinkscape.a(nr-arena-shape.o):nr-arena-shape.cpp:(.text+0x2ebc): >undefin >ed reference to `bounds_fast_transformed(std::vector<Geom::Path, >std::allocator< >Geom::Path> > const&, Geom::Matrix const&)' >collect2: ld returned 1 exit status > >Any ideas? > >Thanks, > >Tony >-- >View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Problem-compiling-win32-svn-18969-tp17984902p17984902… >Sent from the Inkscape - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > >------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace. >It's the best place to buy or sell services for >just about anything Open Source. >http://sourceforge.net/services/buy/index.php >_______________________________________________ >Inkscape-devel mailing list >Inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net >https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/inkscape-devel

Commiting "big" .h files
by Bob Jamison 18 Jun '08

18 Jun '08

Hi again. For the last few weeks, it seems that one of the "big" .h files has been committed almost every day. I mean files like verbs.h, document.h, effects.h, etc. I call these "big" files because they are important dependencies for a large portion of all of the source .cpp and .h files. What this means, is that people are becoming cautious of performing an "svn up" for fear that it will result in an almost complete rebuild of Inkscape each and every time. I don't know of any remedy for this (odd/even days?), since all new development and bugfixing is good. But it would help if people would at least consider the implications before they commit. bob

Temporary canvas items
by Maximilian Albert 18 Jun '08

18 Jun '08

Hi all, (Johan, I'm CC'ing you because you actively worked in this area a while ago) I'd like to use the temporary canvas item machinery to display some "info" related to LPEs. This info can consist of helper paths or perhaps even text (e.g., for LPEs measuring path lengths or areas). I've played a bit with it but I think I'm not using it in the correct/recommended/ easiest way, which sometimes even results in crashes. So my questions are: - How can I create a temporary canvas item to display a helper path having a given shape? - How can I display text using this mechanism? - If I want to make either the helper path or the text permanent (i.e., convert them into a non-temporary item and save them in the document), how can I achieve this? Thanks for any help, Max
