ABLEConf this weekend in AZ (and a request for images)
by Josh Andler
Hey all,
This Saturday, September 20, 2008 in Tempe, AZ (USA) the first ever
ABLEConf will be taking place. I will be doing a presentation as well as
Q&A session on Inkscape there (in addition to the many other speakers
that will be there that day). If you are in AZ I'd recommend coming if
possible. Additionally, if you are in AZ and not in the Metro Phoenix
area, people from around the state are trying to arrange ride shares to
reduce the cost for everyone making a trip.
To find out more about the conference, the location, and the ride
sharing go to http://www.ableconf.com/
Additionally, I was asked to put together a gallery of images created
with FLOSS tools. So far I have mostly gathered illustration and some
design work from some Inkscape users via deviantart, however a lot of
people have not responded to messages (a lot of people don't log in as
much as they used to). So... that leads to the following request:
If you have any images created/edited/composited with any FLOSS tools
such as Inkscape, The GIMP, Krita, Karbon14, Blender, Scribus, or your
other favorite open source apps please get in contact with me directly.
We'd love to display your work and credit you appropriately (it's a
great way to get free advertising if you're looking for contract work).
Note that were looking for Illustrations, Design (web, logos, marketing
materials, etc), diagrams, blueprints, photography (obviously color
corrected, manipulated, etc), industrial or trade related images, and
the list could go on. A focus of the conference and this image gallery
is to show the small businesses how versatile and powerful the tools
available are.
Oh, and if you want to pass on the word too that would be more than
welcome! :)
Cheers,
Josh

web page to show svg file
by Tena Sakai
Hi,
I hope I am posting to the right place. If not, please
advise where I should post.
I have a web page which I got from
http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Web-Use.html
The first example given there is what I took. The html file
looks like (I have modified it so very slightly, but it works
as expected):
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>SVG Included with <object> tag in an XHTML File</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>s o m e h e a d i n g</h2>
<object type="image/svg+xml" data="SampleFile.svg">
Browser does not support SVG files!
</object>
</body>
</html>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The data file SampleFile.svg is made by inkscape and what I am
interested in doing now is to make a hyperlink out of the object
tag.
Would someone please give me a tip? An example would be highly
appreciated.
Thank you.
Regards,
Tena Sakai

Re: [Inkscape-devel] web page to show svg file
by Tena Sakai
Hi Sorin,
Thank you for your help, but I am not getting it.
> in first form ( Href: ) enter the web address
> eg. http://www.google.com
By "http://www.google.com" what you mean is the actual
html file? Ie., something like http://blabla.bla.com/index.html.
What I am asking is what that html looks like. What tags go into
it? Can I get Inkscape to create it? Can I use editor to create
one? Things like that.
> then go to second form (Target:) -and choose from
> the possible states:
> _blank ...
> _self ...
> _top ...
Do you mean each of them defines how the browser behaves in response
to the user's clicking the href anchor? Again, my fundamental need
is to generate the html file above, for which I have no clue.
BTW, what are the rest of fields of the link properties? Type,
Role, Arcrole, Title, Show, Actuate? Would you mind pointing out
where they are documented? I just bought the Inkscape book, but
I haven't located it. Maybe they are defined by WC3 folks?
Anyways, I feel I am blinded and appreciate a bit of guidance.
Thank you.

I made a screenshoot for you.
Steps :
click on text you wish to make link > after text is active, right click,
select
Create Link > right click again on your text and select Link Properties > in
first form ( Href: ) enter the web address eg. http://www.google.com > then
go to second form (Target:) -and choose from the possible states :
_blank ( link will be opened on the new tab in web navigator )
_self ( link will be opened in actual tab of web browser )
_top ( in case you the website use frames - link will be opened in place of
the parent of all frames ) .
I hope it was pretty clear.
Good Luck,
Sorin

lpe vonkoch
by jf barraud
Hi,
I updated the vonkoch lpe to handle groups and allow general
transformations.
Caution: I had to *change* the meaning of the path parameter:
It is now supposed to consist in separated paths of 1 or 2 consecutives
segments (remaining segs are ignored).
A single segment defines a rescaling map (pevious behaviour)
2 segments define a general transform (sending a frame attached to the
original object to this new "frame")
If VonKoch was used with consecutive segments, you'll have to separate them
to obtain the same result.
Please report bugs, or suggestion to improve usability and
"understandability"...

Patterns with clipped objects become (partly) invisible, depending on zoom level
by worms invasion
Hello.
A pattern with a clipped object becomes partly or totally invisible, depending on zoom level and/or if it's selected, in latest inkscape build. (I used http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32/Inkscape19816-0809080916.7z )
The file "mesh7_046R" contains a pattern = (objects + a clipped rectangle) and was not opened with later builds of Inkscape. The pattern shows correctly at every zoom level in the 0.46 release..
The file "clipped_pattern046R_046Dev" is the same (mesh7_046R), then it was opened in the latest build, and a new similar clipped pattern was created.
Both patterns disappear, totally or partially, depending on whether they are selected or not and on the zoom level.
This seems to only happen to patterns with clipped objects.

lpe-knot and lpe path-dependent parameters
by jf barraud
Hi,
I've just updated the lpe-knot, to let the user choose the orientation of
each crossing independantly.
Please test and report bugs. (yes there are some! I know one of them at
least: it won't work for groups, and cannot be shared by different objects)
Writing this, I came to an issue I don't know how to solve:
Up to know, lpes are supposed to be black-boxes taking any path as input,
and giving an other path as output. You can eventually tune the behaviour of
the black box using some parameters, which are always attached to the
blackbox, and do not depend on the input.
Some effect however require the storage of path-specific information.
lpe-knot is an exemple: for each crossing in the path, we need to attach an
orientation. This has to be somehow stored in svg, but highly depends on the
path. In particular, this information canot be shared by different paths :-(
I guess other cases will show up.
Did we already meet and solve this? Any clue about the way this could be
handled?
One way could be to systematically duplicate the lpe when trying to use it
on several objects (for groups or when pasting).
What do you think?
Best regards, JF.

inkscape test-cases render-test
by the Adib
Hello Jasper,
I have seen you did some scripts to automate the render-tests.
As we need also some metrics about the other outputs (pdf, ps, ...) I
extended your script.
- integrated the functionality of tester.cpp into the python script
- integrated an pdf render-test
The difficulty of the other output formats is that you need a 3rd
party application to convert your pdf-file into png.
In this case I use ghostscript to do that. Actually I dont know how
much false-positive or false-negative tests there are.
The ghostscript converter runs fine on Linux.
attached the extended script.
HTH,
Adib.

Want to write software to go between inkscape and plotter, but...
by stuart
Hi...
I want to write some software to go between inkscape and a plotter.
Specifically, I want to port graphtecprint from python to visual C++ or
C# (which ever is easiest). But the more I find out about how M$
drivers are developed, the more I believe this is a lost cause!
Actually, how (or why) dose anyone deal with this? It sounds like a
horrible right of passage. And the M$ support for drivers (i.e. the
WDK) is no where near as friendly as that for Visual C# or even the less
supported Visual C++.
Really, is there anyone here that could help (i.e. point me in the right
direction). I have that feeling of possibly spending days trying to use
some tool when the answer is a download away.
...thanks
