0.91 performance when zoomed in
by Saar Drimer 14 Apr '16

14 Apr '16

Hello everyone, I work with Inkscape nearly every day, but am now experiencing some painfully slow performance with some files (that I cannot share right now, sorry!) I'm working with Inkscape 0.91 r13725 on Ubuntu 15.10 with an i7-5500 and 16GB of RAM. The designs are not particularly complex, but have one feature that might be relevant: I'm working with dimension accurate objects that can be very small, 0.1mm and below (I design printed circuit boards). The slowness becomes painful when zoomed in onto the small objects; it happens when I try zooming, choosing objects, moving them, and even changing tools from 'node' to 'select'. nearly every such operation I get the greyed-out Ubuntu stall. Working on the design when zoomed out is not practical, but it is quite a bit faster performing. Another thing that's happening that could be related is the following prompts keep appearing on the console: (inkscape:15569): Pango-CRITICAL **: pango_font_family_list_faces: assertion 'PANGO_IS_FONT_FAMILY (family)' failed (inkscape:15569): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_tree_view_scroll_to_cell: assertion 'tree_view->priv->tree != NULL' failed I could not find any report for how to handle these, and discover if they are related to the performance problems. Searching for a solution through looking at bug reports, I've tried: * Running with fresh preferences.xml * Geometric bounding box * Reducing the complexity of the design * Hiding layers (there are 24 layers) to only ones that are relevant for the operation (usually only two layers) * Hiding rulers and scroll-bars * Maximising memory and threads (with restart) I'm out of ideas, and I hope that someone might be able to recommend something. If there are no ideas, I'll work on a design that I can share so that we could work though it. Thanks, Saar.

There appears to be a build breakage in Launchpad - see link below. ../../src/widgets/eek-preview.cpp:499:32: error: ‘style’ was not declared in this scope gtk_paint_diamond( style, Also, last time I checked, 'make dist' when configuring with autoconf was not producing a valid dist, which I need in order to compare with the cmake-produced dist tarball.

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Fwd: Check coding style examples
by Maren Hachmann 09 Apr '16

09 Apr '16

Hi everyone, I'm forwarding this message from Sylvain (website contributor, French translator), which bounced when he tried to send it to the devel mailing list. Could someone please double-check if the salvaged code examples on the website correspond to the style guidelines? Thanks! Kind regards, Maren Message from Sylvain: Hello everybody, There were previously code examples on the page of the website about the coding style. These were removed when a highlighter plugin was removed from the CMS. We could get them back from a backup but I restored the format myself as it was encoded (with \r\n instead of line endings and many spaces had run away). Could you please check that the 3 codes are really conformant to the coding style, then correct errors or describe them? The codes are only on the French version of the page; I will add them on the English version when we will be sure they are good. https://inkscape.org/fr/developper/style-du-code-source/ Note: I am not on the inkscape-devel mailing list, remember to keep me as a receiver of mails about this topic. -- Sylvain

Easying slur fine-tuning engraving in Lilypond files through Inkscape
by Joan Sanz 08 Apr '16

08 Apr '16

(PRELIMINARY NOTE: This is a feature request. I'm writing to this mailing list because it seems the tracker mailing list has been inactive since 2007. If I'm doing the wrong thing, please tell me how to proceed. Please forgive me if I'm causing any inconveniences and consider providing some guidance on to which wishlist should I address this request. Thank you very much.) * * * Hi everybody. First of all, excuse my English. It is not my mother tongue. Please also bear in mind that I'm not an expert Inkscape user and the terms I'll be using to describe my request can be ambiguous or even wrong (I hope not, though. ;)) I've been using Lilypond music engraving software (lilypond.org) for a while and I've been experiencing the pain of having to manually adjust slurs (actually drawn as bezier curves) when I want to get publishing-quality scores. The most straightforward way to achieve this is using \shapeII function in one of the following forms: \shapeII #'(()(polar 50 0.35)(polar 30 0.25)()) or \shapeII #'(()(absolute-polar 50 0.35)(absolute-polar 30 0.25)()) (Cf. the document by the creator of the function: http://lilypond-stuff.1065243.n5.nabble.com/file/n5705621/shapeII-examples.… , paragraph 4, "polar coordinates" info. Cf. also https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2013-11/msg00823.html for more information.) The point of my request is making Inkscape assist slur editing/fine-tuning in a double way: first, taking advantage of the direct graphical editing capabilities it offers, and secondly, providing the relevant information generated in such a form the Lilypond function can understand ---the more direct, the better. The intended workflow would be: 1) Lilypond compiles the text file and outputs a pdf file. 2) Inkscape imports the generated pdf. 3) Slurs are manually edited. 4) For each slur, mathematical/Lilypond-understandable info is shown/generated (possibly by tweaking some Inkscape extension in python?) so that 5a) it can be at least manually typed into the Lilypond file, thus saving endless, painful recompiling trial-and-error attempts to get the satisfactory slur. Or, ideally, 5b) the gathered/computed info is formatted (by the extension?) and shown (directly on the svg file, on an auxiliary window?) so that it can be copied-pasted onto the lilypond file, or, even better, 5c) piped to a script that modifies the original Lilypond text file by inserting the data properly. In this case, I don't know whether the fact that the requested feature can be written in python and that the Lilypond file can be manipulated using the Frescobaldi editor (frescobaldi.org), which is written in python and allows easy extension of its features through python snippets, could automate the process even more. :) Back to the \shapeII function, the relevant stuff for the present discussion are (absolute-polar 50 0.35) and (absolute-polar 30 0.25) parentheses. Graphically speaking, this pair of parentheses contain the mathematical description of the handles used to control bezier curves drawing in Inkscape. The absolute-polar notation that shapeII understands fits *almost* directly to the data about the angles of the handle that Inkscape shows at the bottom of the main window when you're moving it (That means Inkscape somehow already provides this data, the problem is how to made it available for the requested feature). The only thing that should be tweaked when doing the math is modifying the value Inkscape gives for the *right* handle. For this value to be valid in the lilypond shapeII function it has to be subtracted to 180: valid right handle angle value = 180 - Inkscape value Secondly, the info at the bottom of the main window also tells us about the length of the moving handle. The second numerical value inside the parentheses is the ratio between the length of the handle and the distance between the distal nodes: \shapeII #'(()(absolute-polar 50 A)(absolute-polar 30 B)()) where A = left handle length / distal length B = right handle length / distal length That means getting the info about the length of the handles (the same as with angles) *and* calculating the distance between two points, i.e., the first and last nodes of the bezier curve. I'm aware this can be manually done with the measuring tool Inkscape provides, but here an automatic calculation of the distance is needed. As I said at the beginning, I'm not an expert at all, but I think that this request can be easily implemented by a python programmer (perhaps based on Inkscape-0.91/share/extensions/measure.py file?) and it would mean a *huge* improvement for the Lilypond user's community. Thanks for your attention, Joan.

Paint-order attribute needs to be put in stroke properties dialogue
by C R 08 Apr '16

08 Apr '16

We need a checkbox for it in the stroke properties tab. Currently I think it's a compile-time flag, which means it's unusable for most users. I'd love to highlight this feature in the Inkscape video at LGM. Can someone add this? For reference as to what it does, look here: https://plus.google.com/+inkscape/posts/QBxB6CDhNzZ Thanks. :) -C

Hackfest agenda
by Alex Valavanis 08 Apr '16

08 Apr '16

[FAO Hackfest attendees!] Hi All, Looking forward to welcoming you to Leeds next week. Can I suggest that everyone (optionally!) prepares a short 10-minute presentation to summarise: * Who you are! * Your involvement with Inkscape * Your "hacking goals" for the Hackfest (if you have any specific ideas) * Anything you'd like to learn more about or discuss with the other developers There's no pressure to prepare any slides, or even to present anything if you're too busy or you're not comfortable with the idea... it's just a means of getting to know each other and starting things rolling. Also, send me a private message (off list) if you'd like to swap contact details, and/or meet for a drink on Sunday evening. Best wishes, AV
