Only GimpWheel Mode
by Arshdeep Singh 18 Jul '13

18 Jul '13

In my attempts to operate in the mode when the wheel is being used: I made the following changes (the diff file) - added a 'gboolean _isWheel' to struct ColorSelector - added a function (public) void set_isWheel {_isWheel = TRUE } - added a function (public) gboolean get_isWheel { return _isWheel; } -added a function to paint-selector.cpp 'gboolean isWheel' which returns the _isWheel attribute of its selector. Unfortunately, the value does not stick to TRUE. QuesA: Is this approach wrong ? Is there any intrinsic method by which I can get the information that the Wheel is active ? QuesB: Why is this approach failing ? -- Arshdeep Singh Third Year, Computer Engineering Delhi Technological University Ph: +91-9654115614 https://sites.google.com/site/adsingh1729/home

[Recolor] Good News
by Arshdeep Singh 18 Jul '13

18 Jul '13

Hello all, I have successfully implemented the code that enables dragging of the recolor nodes. Right now, any node you drag shall change the color of the entire selection. Another development: I successfully can edit the color from the Desktop. Here it is for future reference if someone needs it. *Inkscape::Selection *selection = sp_desktop_selection(desktop);* * * * GSList const *items = selection->itemList();* * g_printf("\n\n\t\t Prinitng the id's of Selected objects ");* * for (GSList const *i = items; i != NULL; i = i->next) * * {* * SPObject *obj=reinterpret_cast<SPObject *>(i->data);* * Inkscape::XML::Node* obj_repr = obj->getRepr();* * SPCSSAttr* obj_css = sp_repr_css_attr( obj_repr , "style" );* * sp_repr_css_set_property ( obj_css , "fill", "#00ff00");* * Glib::ustring str;* * sp_repr_css_write_string (obj_css, str);* * obj_repr->setAttribute ("style", str.c_str(), TRUE);* * }* * * Now only the linking task remains. By linking I mean the link b/w the recolor nodes and the selected objects so that only the respective node is changing the color of the respective object. I am facing one problem in that respect: Initializing a string, gchar* id = g_sprintf( "obj%d", i ); is giving a runtime error. The same goes with g_snprintf( ..) Any idea whats going wrong ? -- Arshdeep Singh Third Year, Computer Engineering Delhi Technological University Ph: +91-9654115614 https://sites.google.com/site/adsingh1729/home

Hello Everyone, Sorry for being away from the project for awhile I was recuperating from injuries from being hit by a car. My dumb luck I guess, I hope I am still allowed to help on the project pickup where I was. Inkscape, Inkscape-web, and bugs etc. Please tell me if I am allowed I see I am still on inkscape devel member, and the Inkscape-web. Inkscape bugs. I still have wiki access, and most of the access is still in place. Regards, Leo Jackson

[Recolor]
by Arshdeep Singh 17 Jul '13

17 Jul '13

Hello all, I am unable to narrow down to the mode when the Wheel is active. (in the code) I have been digging through: sp-color-notebook.h/cpp sp-color-selector.h/cpp sp-color-wheel-selector.h/cpp sp-color-scales.h/cpp I also tried using the SP_IS_COLOR_WHEEL_SELECTOR(o) but I couldn't figure out how to design the final function call that takes as the argument, the list of selected objects when the wheel is actively being used (in the sp-color-notebook) and then changes the colors of the individual objects. This is what is holding me back: Where to put the function ? As a member of ColorSelector ? ColorWheelSelector ? or PaintSelector ? Please help. -- Arshdeep Singh Third Year, Computer Engineering Delhi Technological University Ph: +91-9654115614 https://sites.google.com/site/adsingh1729/home

'path' attribute in mesh branch
by Alex Valavanis 17 Jul '13

17 Jul '13

Hi Tav et al., I noticed that the 'path' attribute was added for meshes in r11406 [1] but it was not listed as being "supported" in attributes.test.h. I wanted to check whether it's safe for me to just change its status to "supported" in the test because it's part of an experimental feature. If we don't do this, the unit test faiils. One possible issue is that the 'path' attribute is listed as only applying to the 'animateMotion' element, while meshes aren't part of the formal SVG standard [2]. Am I reading too much into the meaning of "supported" here? Have I got the wrong end of the stick entirely?! Cheers, AV [1] http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/trunk/revision/11406#src… [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/animate.html#PathAttribute

[Templates] report
by Jan Darowski 17 Jul '13

17 Jul '13

Hi! Last week I've been mainly working on templates filtering and loading info about them from .svg files. This part is ready, but i suspect that later on, some modifications connected with translations can be needed. I've been also diving a little bit in the extensions system to prepare for the procedural templates.

Regression in rev. 12399
by Eric Greveson 16 Jul '13

16 Jul '13

Hi Alvin, After updating to the latest Inkscape trunk, I've come across a regression - boolean operations on paths no longer work correctly. It appears that revision 12399 (Shape calculations - do not quantize the coordinates) is the culprit. I believe this commit attempts to fix the issue of path coordinates being rounded (and hence losing precision) - however, it looks like the boolean operation algorithms rely on this rounding to work correctly, and now fail with certain path data. I've attached an example of an SVG file with two paths. If you "select all" and then perform a "Path/Difference" operation, it produces the expected result in 12398. If you perform these steps in 12399, both paths disappear. (If the attached file gets stripped out for some reason, it's also available at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3442233/boolean_regression.svg). I can understand how this error went unnoticed in simple tests - I tried drawing a couple of rects and doing a "difference" operation and it worked fine. Must be dependent on the exact shape of the path, perhaps my example file contains coordinates that give the difference algorithm some headaches due to floating-point precision issues (numbers being squared etc) that the coordinate rounding hides. I guess the best option for now would be for someone to back out revision 12399. Alvin, hopefully my example SVG will allow you to find the source of the bug! Best, Eric

Inkscape logo on the wiki
by Krzysztof Kosiński 16 Jul '13

16 Jul '13

The wiki still has the extremely old and ugly logo instead of the Tango one. (The new one is attached.) Does anyone know who has or can give access to the Mediawiki server, so that the logo may be finally changed? This is not a trivial thing, as I'm sure the old ugly logo is still being downloaded from the wiki and reused by third parties as our "official" visual identification. Regards, Krzysztof
