Kernel Unit Length in Lighting Effects
by Ivan Louette
Hello
Working on filters for one moment now I was asking myself if there are any progresses (or projects) about implementing Kernel Unit Length in Lighting Effects.
Following this Niko Kiirala tutorial http://fedev.blogspot.com/2008/07/filter-effects-lighting-effects.html "Kernel Unit Length is not yet used in Inkscape. It is used to make the
result resolution-independent. Now that it isn't used, with high zooms
you can see odd plateaus forming."
If that's not so important in daily web graphics, from an illustrator point of view that's a problem not only for zooming but also for scaling up some effects or using wide blurs as basic composites for lighting.
Thanks for any info and thanks for so much fun with filter effects !

where is the plugin developer's guide...
by stuart
Hi...
No promises, but I'm mildly interested in getting inkscape to cut
directly to small craft Graphtec plotters on any platform that inkscape
is supported on w/o installing additional interpreters like Python or
PERL. I know this has been talked about before, but I don't think there
are any technical discussions to be found here as to how to do it.
Looking at the inkscape wiki, all I see are plugins that translate
between formats. I'm not terribly interested in saving yet another
format on my HDD and would prefer just to print to the plotter.
However, I'm not sure this is even possible plugin or not.
I assume this is the best inkscape plugin tutorial:
http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/PythonEffectTutorial
...but, as I suspected, this lends it's self to modifying existing
Scalable Vector Graphics files. That is, inkscape understands the
format it receives back. What happens if the format is foreign to
inkscape? Will inkscape still be able to send it to the plotter (i.e.
print it)?
Let me know if I'm missing the boat, but, as far as I can tell, what is
necessary is to place a " filter / plugin " between inkscape and the
plotter. And, apparently, inkscape has no provisions for that.
...thanks

A script on my cron do this (with other little tests):
svn update
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix="$bin_dir" \
--with-perl --with-python \
--enable-inkboard \
--with-gnome-vfs
make
make install
make check > update-the-web-page
I may notify the community when a error appear
after the start of a TDD politic.
(or that can be done by the inkscape project server)

The time has arrived to apply for GSoC 2009. Since I haven't heard

organization app soon. Bryce, since you've held this role previously
please verbally confirm that you are passing the torch. :-)
