Editing elliptical arc segments in paths
by Daniel Bailey 23 May '19

23 May '19

Hi All, I wrote a new feature for inkscape a while ago (3 years ago) but never got it upstreamed, partly because it had some obvious bugs. Recently I wanted to use this feature again so decided to fix the code and bring it up to date with the latest code base. I have now fixed the bugs I found previously. The code is much closer to a state where it could be upstreamed, but likely it will need some tweaks for usability. The most notable differences are; - Arc segments now get a pair of handles at right angles to each other, to manipulate the two radii of the ellipse and the rotation of the ellipse. - Arc segments are no longer automatically converted to beziers upon editing a path - Arc segments can be converted to beziers using the "make segments smooth" button - Dragging the line of an arc segment will not manipulate the segment like it will if the segment is a line or a bezier (and therefore not all segments can be dragged, whereas they could before) (maybe a different behaviour is desired here) - The arc flags (the large flag and sweep flag) can be set using new buttons in the node toolbar I'm still a new contributor, so let me know what I should do next. I guess I need to create a merge request on gitlab? Thanks. Dan. (Currently the code is here: https://gitlab.com/danieljabailey/inkscape/tree/danieljabailey_arc_node_edi… ) (Previous discussion can be found in the messages from 2016 in these search results: https://sourceforge.net/p/inkscape/mailman/search/?q=Arcs+in+the+path+edito… )

Location and start of SB hackfest
by Tobias Ellinghaus 16 May '19

16 May '19

Hello again, the Saarbrücken hackfest is approaching fast. On Monday, 27th, I will be there at 09:00 o'clock, from then on the doors will be open and everyone is free to come. The address is Ufergasse 2 66111 Saarbrücken It's a kind of hidden door between a casino and an adult video store, just step close to it and it will open on its own. There is a lift in the far right corner of the entrance room, or you can take the stairs on the right. The office is in the 2nd floor (German counting, Americans would call it the 3rd floor). The button in the lift says, among others, "2" (duh), "U2 Raum" and "K8 gGmbH". I will add some photos to the wiki page later. In case someone wants to get into the office on Sunday already, just ping me and I can arrange something. For those that are in the city on Sunday and don't know what to do, I'd suggest going for a drink in the evening. Tobias PS: If anyone needs any help or information regarding the hackfest, traveling in Germany or local customs I am sure I can help.

Hello All, Due to the certificate error on chat.inkscape.org, some individuals may be scared away from participating in our meeting tomorrow. I'm going to keep an eye on it, but if the error isn't resolved in the next couple hours I'm going to suggest we postpone our meeting one week. I'll update everyone on the status a little later. - Ryan

Super node snapping
by David Mathog 09 May '19

09 May '19

Inkscape currently has a way to snap a drawing node to another drawing node. Is there a way to associate a "super snap node" with an object which would take precedence over the drawing nodes? Let me give an example. Proteins sometimes exist in cell membranes. The protein SVG would be a complex drawing, as would the membrane, both packed full of the usual drawing nodes. So moving the protein to the membrane in the usual snap mode is not going to be at all helpful. The "super snap node" would consist of a vector defined by two points specifying a position and an orientation. It would be associated with a grouped object but would not normally be visible. It would indicate the proper insertion orientation and position for the protein. A matching "super snap node" would be associated with each element in the membrane. In those mode one could drag the protein to the membrane and drop it and it would center and orient on the nearest super snap node in the membrane. Since cell membranes have two sides moving the protein over to the other half and releasing it would flip it 180 degrees and insert it in the other direction. In the more general case, there could be types of super snap nodes, so that only a pair of the same type would interact. (Note, my email is acting strangely today - I'm not sure what the subject is going to be on this message. ) Regards, David Mathog mathog@...1176...
