arcs in the path editor
by Daniel Bailey 09 Jul '16

09 Jul '16

Hi again, After some procrastination, I have found time to fix some issues with the arc editor feature I proposed a while ago. (See here: https://sourceforge.net/p/inkscape/mailman/message/31695400/) I have uploaded my latest changes to launchpad. https://code.launchpad.net/~danieljabailey/inkscape/arc_node_editor The new changes allow you to convert an arc to a bezier curve (simply by using the "make selected segments curve" button). I have also fixed the bug that was pointed out to me, which meant that an arc at the end of a path would sometimes become a straight line. I am facing one more issue however, when converting an arc to a bezier, some arcs cause a segfault. The easiest way to reproduce this is to convert a circle to a path and then try to convert the resulting arcs to beziers. (Arc to bezier conversion being the feature I recently added.) I seem to get the segfault on a line that sets the position of a bezier handle. This is in a function I have added, "PathManipulator::replaceSegmentWithPath". Sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't. Valgrind and gdb have, surprisingly, not been particularly helpful. Any advice would be much appreciated, I'm not sure if I am re-implementing things that already exist by adding the replaceSegmentWithPath function. Perhaps there is already some code for this which I can use. Thanks, Dan.

bug 172063, "change the color of the Pen helper path" proposal
by Jabiertxo Arraiza Cenoz 06 Jul '16

06 Jul '16

Hi to all. >From time ago we have in pen/cil handles a hack to make them more visible over items with the same color. I do some tweaks to make it a bit lighther and to use the same effect in lines and handle points. Comment #20 The question, is a good idea apply it to 0.92? If not, I sugest comment the code on current handles highlight. Also in the same bug, I do 2 XOR proposals but they are in early stage and pending to know if XOR affect too much in performance, actual XOR parts are more static than a helper line that can be fast moved. Thanks in advance for our opinion, cheers, Jabier. https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/172063

by Bryce Harrington 05 Jul '16

05 Jul '16

Hope everyone's summer is going well. I'd like to call the next board meeting for this Friday, July 8th. As usual, it will be held in #inkscape-devel at noon Pacific time. http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Board_Meetings We'll continue discussions about the forum. As well, we had a number of action items at May's meeting that we didn't cover in June's meeting, that I hope we can tackle at this meeting too. Thanks, Bryce

OS Windows: Automating Inkscape
by Udo Weik 05 Jul '16

05 Jul '16

A very first Hello, and many thanks for that awesome app! I'm an "OS Windows guy" and automation maniac, e. g. via AutoHotkey: AutoHotkey https://autohotkey.com / Automation depends on hotkeys, shortcuts and unique identifiable windows (dialogs) with their controls. Ideally, there is an integrated command prompt interface or something comparable available in the app. Concerning automating Inkscape 0.91, I have some first questions: 1. Missing/not unique hotkeys (the [Alt+_] combinations) in (main) menu items Is there a convenient way to add/change those h o t k e y s somewhere? The shortcuts are saved in XML-files, like default.xml. Via Preferences -> Interface -> Keyboard the shortcuts are editable. I found preferences.xml and some folders here %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\inkscape and the XML-files in my local installation ...share\keys\default.xml BUT exporting shortcuts crashes Inkscape. 2. gdkWindows and AutoHotkey I haven't any chance to access controls inside an gdkWindows via AutoHotkey. That's really a pitty. 3. Integrated command prompt interface or much better an non-modal (modeless) dialog with that interface I'm aware of: 2 Extensions for Programmers: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Extension_repository#Extensions_for…: Interactive Python Shell extension? - InkscapeForum.com http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=10722 A Python quick-scripting extension - Sanjay Manohar http://www.smanohar.com/inkscape.php Any additional hints? Many thanks and greetings Udo

Arcs in the path editor.
by unknown＠example.com 01 Jul '16

01 Jul '16

Hi, I've not contributed to inkscape before, this is my first time. I have created a branch which supports editing elliptical arcs in the node editor. I'm new to bazaar (and inexperienced with launchpad) so I think I've done the right thing with a merge request here: https://code.launchpad.net/~danieljabailey/inkscape/arc_node_editor/+merge/… (but thought I'd check by asking on this list.) Is this an interesting feature? If so I can polish it up for merging into the main repo. Thanks. Dan.

Interesting Robofont features !
by Ivan Louette 01 Jul '16

01 Jul '16

Because I work a lot on fonts, cutting and pasting a lot between Inkscape and FontForge I see many features already present in FF which could be very nice in Inkscape. For example the ability to select handles separately from the node. But here are very sweet new Robofont features which could benefit not only to type drawers : https://vimeo.com/34351633 On the other hand FF visualisation of potential extremas and inflexion point on a curve are extremely useful too. ivan
