dxf2svg extension
by Kris De Gussem 30 Jan '13

Hi all Upon crawling through the source code for memory related issues, I noticed some serious issues in the dxf2svg code. Modifying the code (at least in entities2elements.cpp) did not result in recompilation and apparently the code has not been looked after for years (see [1]) and was since long excluded from the building system ([2], [3] and [4]). Is there still some purpose for the code or could we drop the dxf2svg extension code from the source tree? Regards K.

Drawing to Canvas
by Dennis Coyle III 29 Jan '13

29 Jan '13

Hi, I am new to developing for inkscape and was wondering about drawing to the canvas. I've been digging through the src and have figured a few things out but I am still unclear as to which #include files I need add specifically and what the proper functions to call are. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Dennis

pathv_to_linear_and_cubic_beziers, only to linear?
by mathog 25 Jan '13

25 Jan '13

Is there somewhere in Inkscape a function equivalent to: pathv_to_linear_and_cubic_beziers() which only outputs a polyline/polygon instead of a polybezier? The output format I am working on now has the former types, but not the latter. Thanks, David Mathog mathog@...1176... Manager, Sequence Analysis Facility, Biology Division, Caltech

Ideating
by Arshdeep Singh 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

I have a new idea to do something in Inkscape that will help the artists a lot. * * *For the same I have been digging into the files:* fill-and-stroke.(cpp+h) paint-selector.(cpp+h) fill-style.(cpp+h) I could figure out all the details of how the FiLL and STROKE dialog box is drawn plus how it interacts with the objects. What I don't get is the code where the changes are actually applied to the selected objects on the canvas(desktop). *Facts I already know:* 1.) in Inkscape, there are two representations of the document being worked on: Object and XML. 2.) Changes in the XML Representation is automatically reflected in GObject Representation but not vice versa. Please help ! -- demicoder

Mac OSX 0.48.4 RC3

Mountain Lon: http://rapidshare.com/files/1736402100/Inkscape-r0.48.4-r9943-10.8%2B-x86_6… Lion: http://rapidshare.com/files/3930886749/Inkscape-r0.48.4-r9943-10.7%2B-x86_6… This RC has the following features: - clipboard now fully working. The problem was inside the gtk2 library, and I fixed with this patch: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=692123 GIMP and Darktable would benefit from this patch too. - OSX Menu fully functional with OSX-style mnemonics - uniconverter 1.1.5 + sk1lib 0.9.1, cdr import works great. - ghostscript bundled with the app: importing postscript works great - "open recent" working in Lion release too Problems I see: - the context-menu (right click on object) lack the "Cmd" mnemonic. This is a gtk problem. Mnemonics are correct but gtk lacks the symbol/icon for the Apple/Cmd key. I think it might be better to leave it for the gtk2/quartz team to fix this. Please let me know how it works for you, Valerio

Mountain Lion: http://rapidshare.com/files/3042368673/Inkscape-r0.48.4-r9943-10.8%2B-x86_6… Lion: http://rapidshare.com/files/4110359477/Inkscape-r0.48.4-r9943-10.7%2B-x86_6… News: - open files by double clicking on Finder icons - open files by dragging icons on Inkscape dock icon - Open Recent submenu fixed - faster menubar redrawing - stuff I've forgotten .... Not in there yet: - clipboard works between document windows but not with the system clipboard - Menu accelerators not show in menu labels - Not importing cdr files - Using OSX file dialogs (this is my dream) not gtk's ... other stuff that ~suv will kindly remind us of Valerio

IE svg previewer.
by Mark T 20 Jan '13

20 Jan '13

Hi, Every now & then I search for a viewer. I use many OS's and recent Linux distros preview svg's well. Though I'm a bit stuck on a Vista box for dev-environ reasons. More Ruby done here. So I'm asking if anyone can install & test this. As I am getting a registration error, noted on issues page. If there is reg-err, can anyone fix? https://code.google.com/p/svg-explorer-extension/ MarkT -- :: チェックアウトが、Jingle だ! ::It's a Jingle Out There!
