Export as .WMF gives Errors, What to do?
by Gina 13 Sep '11

13 Sep '11

I just downloaded and installed Inkscape a few days ago, and my main reason was to export to wmf to import into my Machine Embroidery programs. However, when I save a line art as .wmf, Python stops working and gives me a unicode error. Specifics below: ---------------------------------------- python.exe has stopped working A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. After I click the Close program button I get an Inkscape error box that says: Inkscape has received additional data from the script executed. The script did not return an error, but this may indicate the results will not be as expected. UniConvertor failed: rest of box is blank --------------------------------------------- I did a little research (i'm not a programmer just an end user), and it seems the bug has been confirmed but I can't really find what has been done about it, or what I'm supposed to do now. Can anyone help? Thank you, Gina

Inkscape to Synfig Studio: update
by Nikita Kitaev 05 Sep '11

05 Sep '11

Hi everyone. I've been running my svg2sif converter through a semi-automated tester using a huge archive from openclipart, and now I have testing results. I fixed all of the major bugs I could find and it works correctly on a large number of SVG files. There are still cases where it fails, but almost all of them are caused by SVG files that don't originate from Inkscape. What stability should I aim for before it becomes a possibility to have it shipped with Inkscape? The kind of unsupported features I'm talking about include: viewBox attribute in <svg> tag gradients defined in the body of the document rather than in the defs section node having no id unicode<>ascii conversion error (If anyone knows I place where I can get a large number of Inkscape-only SVG files, that would help.) ~Nikita

Hi ! The following svgz file : http://dl.free.fr/hYWUU9wMI can be correctly viewed by inkscape or any web browser. However, when I try to export it as a pdf, the plots diseappears. Hence, I can't use the pdf+Latex export... I have tried Inkscape 0.48.1 on Windows 7 and Inkscape 0.48.0 on debian 6.0 This file is generated with gnuplot 4.4 pl 3. I d'ont know if this svg file is well formed (and there is a bug in inkscape) or not (and there is a bug in gnuplot). Any idea on how to export this file to pdf+Latex would be appreciated. ----- Cordialement, Wilfried Kirschenmann "An expert is a person who has made all the mistakes that can be made in a very narrow field."* *Niels Bohr - *Danish physicist (1885 - 1962)*

Circle animation in SVG
by Johan Engelen 01 Sep '11

01 Sep '11

Hi all, Some animated artwork you may like. I decided to transfer an old Pascal project into SVG. If you use Firefox: http://tostiband.nl/circles_small.svg If you use Chrome or Opera: http://tostiband.nl/circles.svg http://tostiband.nl/circles_bw.svg http://tostiband.nl/circles_rgb.svg http://tostiband.nl/circles_vertical.svg It's my first script attempt/copy-paste-fest, so probably I animate the circles in a dumb way, and that is why it is slow in Firefox. All comments are welcome of course. It is really nice to be able to hit a key to "maintain" the wave it is showing, i.e. all circles start rotating with the same speed but with the current phase difference. Then if you hit the key again, the program continues with the different circle speeds and rotates through all kinds of waves. Maybe if I feel like it, I will add this, but... it would be nifty if someone could give me some code that I could copy-paste for that :P :P Ciao, Johan

Re: [Inkscape-devel] linked offsets

It might be better to discuss this on the developers mailing list (instead of sending it to everyone in the inkscape developers group). As for your question, as far as I can tell it's choosing between sticking to old behaviour that doesn't make much sense and causes problems for at least some people and new behaviour that makes a lot more sense but might cause some problems for existing drawings. This is not an easy choice, but I would be inclined to go with the new behaviour, as that's probably the better choice in the long run. Obviously going with the "new and improved" behaviour will cause some problems with existing material, but I'm afraid it's impossible to always avoid this. Now, if you want to be really friendly towards people with existing material there are a couple of possible courses of action: 1. Detect version of Inkscape that file was saved with and automatically convert linked offsets. 2. Supply an extension that can "fix" linked offsets from older versions. 3. Provide details for manual migration (what's the easiest way to get people's linked offsets to behave like they used to). 4. Make the behaviour optional (per file), possibly in combination with version detection. 5. Create a new way to achieve linked offsets so that it does not affect old linked offsets. Personally I'm not a big fan of 4 (extra code, extra complication). Option 1 is kind of nice in some cases, but in this particular setting it could prove to be a hassle if files move between people with different versions. All in all I would recommend option 2 or 3, and possibly 5, if you're feeling adventurous :) Option 5 is probably a bit more involved, but would be cool. In particular, I was thinking that it might be cool to be able to use LPEs on "clones", and a linked offset would then just be a certain kind of LPE. Currently this isn't possible as clones are not paths, so it would probably require creating a new kind of "linked path" and making sure that LPEs work with that. Then we would need to create an LPE that does an offset and make sure that the offset can be edited on canvas. With option 5 we could choose to keep the old linked offsets code around or to remove it. The latter has the advantage that existing files will still render correctly, any old-style linked offsets simply aren't editable as linked offsets anymore.

MediaWiki theme

SVG on web.
by john Culleton 30 Aug '11

30 Aug '11

I came across an example of svg used as a "wireframe" or mockup of the appearance of a web page here: http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/IG/wiki/images/e/ed/Planet.svg The interesting thing to me is that this svg renders the same in Inkscape and in Firefox. And it is editable in Inkscape. So it appears that svg could be added to a web page design. Given that facility, can the svg portion be used for dynamic purposes. For example could an anchor be added to point to another url? Or is svg a graphics-only format? Thoughts, anyone? -- John Culleton Wexford Press "Create Book Covers with Scribus" http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

C++ is probably faster/easier if you're already very familiar with Inkscape's codebase. I'm not. Having extensions request path-only SVGs would help in this case, but hopefully it can be something more flexible. For example, svg2sif also uses Inkscape to get rid of <use> elements -- but at some point in time I plan to use Synfig's linking/clone features instead. If there's a way to request simplified SVGs, it would be nice to be able to pass options. (e.g. "No non-paths", "no clones", etc.) What about dbus extension features?

Making GTK UI for inkscape preferences dialog.
by Abhishek Sharma 17 Aug '11

17 Aug '11

Hello everybody, I was trying to add radio buttons for some optional preferences, this GSoC, to allow for attribute checking. I therefore, with discussions with Tavmjong and Josh, decided to add this kinda UI in the SVG Output pane of the preferences dialog to the right hand side area : Incorrect Attributes: Remove ( ) Warn (x) Ignore ( ) Incorrect Style Properties: Remove ( ) Warn (x) Ignore ( ) Style Defaults Remove ( ) Warn (x) Ignore ( ) As you might realize, that each button, takes up one row. Therefore, if some button on the left hand side of this UI corresponds to another button, and has a row width set to some higher value, the UI breaks and become like this. Incorrect Style Properties: Remove ( ) Warn (x) Ignore ( ) Too much gap between Remove and Warn options, the reason being, the row in which Remove lies has the width set to some higher value and hence this weird UI. Therefore to tackle such a thing I made a DialogPage inside a DialogPage. Like SVGOutput in itself is a DialogPage and I made another DialogPage named AtrributeChecking and attached it to the right hand side. This kinda solved the former problem, but another problem came up. Now when I expand the preferences window, this right hand side buttons keep moving to the middle like this Remove() Remove() Remove() like this the on dragging and expanding the window, the buttons keep going in the right hand side direction. If someone wishes to actually observe this behavior, kindly have a look here https://code.launchpad.net/~spyzer-abhishek0/+junk/gsoc2011 Please help me out with this. Google Summer of Code is gonna end on 22nd of August and I have only 5 days. So any help is greatly appreciated. -- Regards, Abhishek Sharma

DXF output extension
by Johan Engelen 13 Aug '11

13 Aug '11

Hi all, I just added support for clones in the non-pstoedit DXF output extension in trunk. Would be happy if people could do some testing. I also removed the DXF-comment from the DXF output because KLayout does not support that. Should we not rename this extension from "Desktop Cutting Plotter (AutoCAD DXF R14)" to just "AutoCAD DXF R14" ? There is another pstoedit-based output extension called "AutoCAD DXF R12", but this one is not available by default (and requires some extra work to get it going on Windows), and does not support layers. Ciao, Johan

First results
by Krzysztof Kosiński 07 Aug '11

07 Aug '11

Hello all The branch at lp:~tweenk/inkscape/gsoc-caching contains the first testable features of my performance improvement project. The SVG drawing is rendered to a separate surface, so it doesn't need to be redrawn every time there is an editing control drawn over it. The responsiveness of path highlighting in complex documents is improved dramatically. If you turn off real-time updates of paths and leave only real-time updates of outlines on in node editor preferences, there is also a significant improvement in responsiveness when editing complex filtered paths. To fix some breakage with clipped groups (appears to be a Cairo problem, but I couldn't isolate it) I have substantially changed the rendering pipeline. Clipping paths are now rasterized and the drawing is composited with them using the IN operator. This allows us to handle nested clipping paths and clip-rule correctly. As an unrelated improvement, text objects can now be used as clipping paths. Regards, Krzysztof

Mesh update
by Tavmjong Bah 06 Aug '11

06 Aug '11

Hi, At last weeks SVG Working Group meeting it was resolved that meshes be accepted as part of SVG 2.0. It was decided that meshes should be treated as geometric primitives if defined outside a <defs> section and as a paint server if defined inside. I've put my code into a branch that can be obtained at: bzr branch lp:~tavmjong-free/inkscape/mesh It must be linked against Cairo trunk. I've made a few changes since the SVG WG meeting. The attribute 'stop-path' has been rename 'path' at the WG's request. The code now handles 'stop-opacity'. There are five example SVG files in the share/examples directory (their names all begin with "mesh") including one that shows the effect of setting an opacity of less that 1 on two corners of a patch. The examples can also be seen at: http://tavmjong.free.fr/SVG/MESH/Mesh_Inkscape.html Note that there is no ability to edit the meshes, it only handles meshes used as gradients, and that there are frequent crashes (possibly in the cairo code).

SVG to PNG
by Laurent 05 Aug '11

05 Aug '11

Hi, I use Inkscape on a GNU/Linux server with no graphical user interface in order to convert "large" SVG files generated by a software of mine to PNG. Actually Inskcape is the only software I've found that is able to manage the SVG TextPath correctly, even imageMagick does not process TextPath. I would like to know if some of you know a way to speed up the loading process of Inkscape (I believe it loads tons of things even if it's used to "only" convert files in command line) or if some of you know another software able to convert SVG files containing TextPaths quicker than Inkscape.... Any idea ? Thank you -- Laurent

Build times
by Jasper van de Gronde 02 Aug '11

02 Aug '11

What kind of build times do you get when doing a complete clean build? And on what kind of machine? Currently I'm only working on a notebook (three years old, and lets just say I bought it for the daylight readable screen and light weight, not its performance) and frankly this is starting to be a nuisance. Usually a complete build takes about six hours or so, but recently it took as much as ten hours... (Probably because part of the time I was also doing something on the side, but still.) As a stop gap measure I've now started using ccache, but obviously that doesn't help much when doing normal builds. So I'm beginning to consider buying a new machine and am wondering what sort of improvement I can expect from what kind of machine (using a complete clean build as a kind of benchmark). BTW, I'm running Windows with btool so this is without making use of both cores of my machine. If anyone has any tips for building Inkscape on Windows using two cores, I'd love to try it out and see how much of a difference that makes.

Windows packaging for 0.49
by Josh Andler 31 Jul '11

31 Jul '11

Hey All, I have a couple things I'm going to look into for 0.49. One thing is offering msi installers. The other is potentially providing a native 64bit version as well. There was recently a discussion, I believe on the gtk list, about using OpenSuse's build service to compile windows binaries. I checked, and indeed there is a 64bit version of Inkscape compiled for Windows as well as all necessary 64bit libs (I have yet to test them, but it's planned for this weekend). It's a little different since they're packed in RPMs and use an "interesting" directory structure. However, I bet with a little bit of scripting we could automate all aspects of this and possibly add in re-packaging it and pushing automated nightly builds to modevia. Thoughts? Cheers, Josh

Adding node with ctrl+alt
by Johan Engelen 28 Jul '11

28 Jul '11

Hi all, When you add a node to a path using the nodetool with ctrl+alt, it maintains the selection of previously selected nodes. This is extremely annoying: consider adding a node, moving it a bit, adding a new one, wanting to move it but then the old one also moves... (thanks Alessandro for pointing this out to me). Is this desired behavior? If so, is it ok to add an option to reset selection to only the newly added node? Ciao, Johan

Raw penstroke handling
by John Allsup 28 Jul '11

28 Jul '11

Hi, I'm new to this list and haven't been using Inkscape for long, but I think this one belongs on this list. I asked elsewhere whether it was possible for Inkscape to record, edit and playback penstrokes through the calligraphic tool, and the answer was a negative one. So I went away and thought about it. I wrote a quick C header (at http://chalisque.com/c/penstroke/stroke.h) to illustrate the idea. It's quite short at present, just capturing the abstract idea, so I've included it at the bottom. (I'm not interested in compiling it yet, so don't comment about the //comments if these are not legal in C yet.) The thinking took me beyond Inkscape, but its use in Inkscape (and possibly GIMP) was its raison d'etre, so I think Inkscape developers are probably worth talking to, but consider this. Suppose there was a generic (at the level of GNOME or Unity or whatever) method to capture and manipulate raw penstrokes which could be analysed to produce other slightly different penstroke objects and which could be saved, loaded and passed from application to application. I could draw something in Inkscape, take the raw penstrokes that were used as input, pass them to GIMP and run it through one of GIMP's brushes to produce a bitmap image that could then be re-imported into an Inkscape document (so as to be able to efficiently use GIMP's filters and brushes) etc. For now I am just asking some of you to consider the possibilties and think ahead to the possibility of these facilities being available (whether Linux only or everywhere Inkscape runs I'll leave to other discussions.) Have a think, Cheers, John -----[ stroke.h ]----- // value typedefs typedef float penstroke_real; typedef int penstroke_index; typedef int penstroke_dim; // function pointer typedefs typedef (penstroke_real *)(*penstroke_position_function)( void *data_ptr, penstroke_real t); typedef (penstroke_real *)(*penstroke_parameter_function)( void *data_ptr, penstroke_real t, penstroke_index i); typedef (penstroke_index *)(*penstroke_indexed_parameter_function)( void *data_ptr, penstroke_real t, penstroke_index i); // shorthand typedefs typedef penstroke_position_function pst_posf; typedef penstroke_parameter_function pst_paramf; typedef penstroke_indexed_parameter_function pst_iparamf; typedef penstroke_dim pst_d; typedef penstroke_index pst_i; // struct typedefs typedef struct penstroke { penstroke_dim dimension; penstroke_position_function position; penstroke_dim paramter_dimension; penstroke_parameter_function parameter; penstroke_dim indexed_parameter_dimension; penstroke_indexed_paramter_function indexed_parameter; void *data; // arbitrary data for the functions to handle.) } penstroke; // Note that the number of dimensions through which the penstroke runs is not specified. // this allows for a (time,x,y) and (time,x,y,z) type dynamic strokes to be expressed. penstroke *penstroke_create( pst_d ptd, pst_posf pt, pst_d pad, pst_paramf pa, pst_d ipad, pst_iparamf ipa, void *data_ptr); penstroke_real *penstroke_get_position(penstroke *p, penstroke_real t); penstroke_real *penstroke_get_param(penstroke *p, penstroke_real t, penstroke_index i); penstroke_index *penstroke_get_iparam(penstroke *p, penstroke_real t, penstroke_index i); -- [::- John Allsup -::=::- http://chalisque.com -::]

libgdl again: opinions please!
by Alex Valavanis 25 Jul '11

25 Jul '11

Hi all, To follow up our recent discussions about building against an external copy of libgdl (https://launchpad.net/bugs/792115)... I have played with the code, and here is a summary of my findings: The Inkscape fork of GDL is branched from gdl-0.7.7, which was released a loooong time ago. There have been very substantial upstream changes/bug-fixes since then. In particular, our version uses lots of deprecated/obsolete GTK calls, meaning that Inkscape will fail to build against GTK 3. We therefore need to fix this issue fairly quickly. Our fork of GDL introduces a couple of new features. Here are the main ones I can see: * Focus switching between docked dialogs, with tab/arrow-key bindings * Ability to create a docked dialog using a pixbuf icon. I have forwarded a patch upstream to GDL (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=652248) asking if they would be able to merge any of our changes. The upstream developer was very supportive and helpful, and had a few queries. However, I'm not an expert on GDL/GTK and I'm not in the best position to comment. I see three options for fixing the problem: 1) Build against external GDL right away --- This should be easy to do, but we'd lose our changes for a while. However, I'm not sure any of the changes represent essential Inkscape design features and we'd be able to reimplement them when they appear in the upstream API. 2) Merge our changes into upstream GDL 2.30 and copy this into the Inkscape code --- This will take a bit of fiddling around, and it still relies upon us working with forked code. I have managed to make a branch of inkscape with gdl-2.3.0+changes that compiles and runs, but it is buggy (no colour switching and some graphics glitches). Unfortunately, my GTK knowledge is not good enough for me to do this by myself. If anyone is able & willing to help, I can push the new branch. 3) Don't fix it yet! --- Wait until upstream have implemented all the changes (in GDL >=3.1.1) and then switch over. However, we have no guarantee of how long this will take, and we will be unable to support GDK+ 3 builds until we switch! Please let me know what you think! AV

GtkObject deprecation
by Alex Valavanis 21 Jul '11

21 Jul '11

Hi All, I reported bug #813212 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/813212> a couple of days ago, which deals with the deprecation of GtkObject in GTK+ 3. I have taken a quick look at fixing the problem, but there a couple of things I'm not confident about. Perhaps someone with more GTK+ experience could help out here? One of the main issues here is that SPCanvasItem (our custom implementation of GnomeCanvas) is a subclass of GtkObject. GNOME Evolution got round this problem in their own copy of GnomeCanvas by changing the parent class to GObject. This introduces a couple of issues that I could use some help with: 1) What do we do about the "::destroy" signal? GObject has no such signal... there is a "::dispose", but is it functionally equivalent? Can we just rename all the gtk_object_destroy calls to g_object_run_dispose, and replace the custom GtkObject.destroy implementations with GObject.dispose? Does the same apply for GtkObjectClass and GObjectClass? 2) What do we do about the GtkObjectFlags enumeration? This is deprecated, and no equivalent is available in GObject. Can we just add a typedef for a "SPCanvasItemFlags" enumeration in sp-canvas-item.h, and add a "guint32 flags" member to SPCanvasItem? Thanks, Alex

Do people tend to upgrade with every release? For me, I tend to run whatever the next release of Ubuntu is (so I'm using what will be 10.10 for example)... what can I say other than I like bleeding. ;) On the Mac side, what are your upgrade habits?

Debugging Inkscape on Linux
by Diederik van Lierop 15 Jul '11

15 Jul '11

Hi all, If try debugging inkscape using gdb on Linux, then you will have noticed that in some cases xserver will become unresponsive. This happens for example if you hit a breakpoint or assert while you were dragging an object. Years ago, one of our developers blogged about a trick to run gdb on a virtual terminal and have inkscape still run within the xserver. I cannot recall however who it was and were it was posted, but it was a cumbersome workaround anyway because you had to operate gdb from a terminal (something I've never been able to master). I've now learned a better way to do this, using gdb from within Elipse which allows you to inspect any variable by using your mouse only. That's a level I can handle ;-) See http://developer.gnome.org/gtk-faq/stable/x461.html for an explanation. I couldn't manage to get the first option working (btw --sync has been deprecated as of recently, see http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2011-February/097248.html). The Xnest option however works flawlessly on my Fedora 15 system. I only wished that I had known about this years ago... PS: xorg-x11-twm and xorg-x11-server-Xnest must be installed Diederik

New color system/swatch for Inkscape
by Lucas Vieites 13 Jul '11

13 Jul '11

Hi, I was approached the other day by Gabriel Vano (Cc'd in this message) from Give Life Color System (http://www.givelifecolorsystem.com/FreeColors.php) to help him contact someone on the Gimp dev list to ask if they would be interested in adding this new color system to their software. As Inkscape is using the same type of file for swatches I thought I'd give it a try, and it worked fine as you can at the bottom of this screenshot ( http://www.codexion.com/files/inkscape_givelifepalette.png). Do you think it might be interesting to add this swatch by default in future versions of Inkscape? Gabriel is willing to discuss copyright issues (assigning part of the rights to Inkscape or whatever). Cheers, -- Lucas Vieites lucas@...1852... http://blog.codexion.com

gtksourceviewmm
by Fernando Lucchesi 11 Jul '11

11 Jul '11

Hi, I'm working on the javascript interface[1], and my mentor gave the idea of implementing syntax highlighting. In order to do that, I was thinking of using gtksourceviewmm. Is it possible(desirable) to add this lib to Inkscape? Should I keep the version without the lib, and then use some ifdefs and a "./configure" flag to choose between the two? Also, I've tried including the lib, but I couldn't figure out where to add it in autotools. [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/795849 -- Fernando Lucchesi

License of Inkscape Tango icons?
by Carsten Fuchs 10 Jul '11

10 Jul '11

Dear Inkscape developers, my name is Carsten Fuchs and I'm the main developer of the Cafu game and graphics engine, http://www.cafu.de We're currently in the process of updating the user interfaces of our graphical editor applications, i.e. the Map Editor, GUI Editor and Model Editor. So far, our new icon sets are based on own artwork and icons from the GNOME Icon Theme 3.0, which is licensed both under the LGPL v3 as well as under CC BY-SA 3.0. After a lot of work, we're still lacking about half a dozen icons, and found that the Inkscape Tango icons (tango_icons.svg) would not only be a perfect fit, but are also very nice and wonderful! Do we understand right that the Inkscape icons are released under the same license as the Inkscape source code, the GPL v2? If so, would it be possible to release them under, for example, the CC BY-SA 3.0 as well? I'm asking this mainly because we're offering the Cafu engine both under the GPL v3 as well as under custom commercial license. At the same time, it generally seems widely unclear how the software-oriented GPL applies to artwork: e.g. if we exported about six icons from tango_icons.svg to PNG image files, and shipped them with our apps (both source code and binary editions) as separate files, i.e. not embedded in any executable or other file, and load them at runtime, would that still require us to omit them from our commercially-licensed packages? I'd be very grateful for your consideration and advice. Many thanks and best regards, Carsten -- Cafu - the open-source Game and Graphics Engine for multiplayer, cross-platform, real-time 3D Action Learn more at http://www.cafu.de

Verbs+SPAction versus GtkAction
by Gellule Xg 06 Jul '11

06 Jul '11

I'm contemplating a reimplementation of OSX menu integration using external tools that rely on Gtk::UIManager and GtkAction. This seems orthogonal to the current Verbs+SPAction custom framework used by Inkscape. I would like to start with a simple question: What is the benefit of Verbs versus GtkAction? In the Wiki there is this idea of being able to attach a Verb to a View. -Julien/Gellule

bug in changing gradient color
by SorinN 02 Jul '11

02 Jul '11

Hi all, I just "tested" this bug with few inkscape-trunk revisions (Win32 and Natty). It is present for any inkscape-trunk versions bigger that 10349 (I didn't check earlier versions). now I use 10359 and the bug is still present. Steps to reproduce : Open a blank file - Draw a rectangle - Assign a color - Make a gradient using the gradient tool OR using Fill tab option - Edit the gradient, chose the color node then try to change colorspace to another one (CMYK, RGB, etc). - Bang. I can reproduce this bug in Windows 7 too with the revision 10350. -- Nemes Ioan Sorin

Black background in active sliders

Recently I've notice that active sliders have a heavy and thick black background, different than when disabled. Compare the two cases in the attached file. http://old.nabble.com/file/p31859141/silders.png As you can see, they are taken under Windows XP. (By the way, notice also that the "Opacity (%):" label is not grayed out). Is this intended? Personally I'd prefer having the same thin rail in both cases.

Inkscape license + potential problem
by Krzysztof Kosiński 28 Jun '11

28 Jun '11

Hello I am wondering under what license Inkscape actually is. Most source files don't have the full GPL copyright notice which specifies the version, they only say "released under GNU GPL". This would suggest that most of the code is GPLv2+. There are also several files dual-licensed under MPL and GPL. Our Launchpad website states that Inkscape is under GPLv2. However, I encountered a file which is GPLv3 only, apparently copied from GIMP (src/util/expression-evaluator.cpp). If we really are GPLv2, then including this file is not legal, as GPLv2 is not compatible with GPLv3. We would need to change our license to GPLv3 or GPLv3+ to include this file, or contact the original authors for a GPLv2 or BSD license. PS: our Windows devlibs also seem to be in a "gray area", because most of the copyright information is not present, which might break the license terms of the libraries. I'll try to remediate this by adding the license files from each package, once I have some spare time (i.e. not very soon). Regards, Krzysztof

When blur is combined with a Composite "in" some vertical dark lines are shown on rendering and exporting to bitmap. If vertical blur is set to zero the lines change to dots. If a little amount of black is added they disappear (here I decrease luminance and that works too). ivan

Code cleanup and minor tweaks
by Jon Cruz 27 Jun '11

27 Jun '11

Hi Campbell, I just wanted to thank you for the recent improvement to our codebase, such as in revision 10359. Getting things fixed such as not passing 'false' in to pointers helps in many ways, including reducing the number of odd, hard to reproduce bugs. I also just wanted to point out a few minor style points that could help. One is with the use of "NULL". That is more of a C macro that in C++ has be replaced with the simple use of "0". I've looked into this point with coworkers and others at various points, and can try to dig up more details if you need them. The other point is in using whitespace. I realize that in your recent changes you have been preserving what already existed, but it is helpful if "cleanup" that touched lines left them with nicer spacing also. We have some info on our coding style page, but the gist is to put spaces between things, but not in the middle of things. :-) That is, space around keywords, operators, etc, but not between a function name and its opening paren. For example, this line you touched could be improved by spacing it thusly &&((l!=NULL&&!edge->isEnd(l->id))||l==NULL) && ((l != NULL && !edge->isEnd(l->id)) || l == NULL) Suddenly that makes the logic and the referencing easier to read and follow. It also gives more visibility to areas that could be made clearer with more parenthesis: && (((l != NULL) && !edge->isEnd(l->id)) || (l == 0) ) if I compare those right on top of each other, the legibility change should show up: &&((l!=NULL&&!edge->isEnd(l->id))||l==NULL) && (((l != NULL) && !edge->isEnd(l->id)) || (l == 0) ) Depending on the font, that might even reveal another problem. In general I strongly dislike single-letter literals (except for the common 'i' in for loops, etc). And even worse is the single letter variable 'l'. In fact, in the font I'm typing with at the moment I can not tell the difference between the lower-case-letter-el, the capital-letter-eye and the vertical-bar-pipe-| (lI|). What is worse is some fonts even make the numeral -one indistinguishable. But this is a side rant on a given bad variable. If you happen to be touching enough lines, consider giving it a better name. Anyway, thanks for the help in this area and the opportunity for me to point out to some of the other newer people on the list what sort of tweaks can help our codebase be more legible and maintainable.

Extensions and Warnings
by Martin Owens 26 Jun '11

26 Jun '11

I'm trying to solve a bug with my deviantArt stash extension. It produces warnings because poxy webkit with bleedin java and god aweful html decide that it's a great idea to shout out to the world a whole bunch of version information, including any javascript errors that happen in the loaded pages. What cute is that I told the inx to load a bash shell which loaded the python script and to dev/null everything. That didn't hack fix it. I tried redirecting sys.stderr to a file, somehow it still manages to come through. Please tell me there is a way to stop inkscape from reporting warnings from python extensions? There is no reason to report warnings to users unless they can be formatted in a nice way and these can't be. Martin,

Removing dead Inkboard code
by Krzysztof Kosiński 24 Jun '11

24 Jun '11

Hello As part of the general theme for the current development cycle, which appears to be "in-tree forks & cruft must die", I have completely removed Inkboard. Here are the reasons. 1. This code is seriously bitrotted and was disabled for a long time, with no one stepping up to put it back into shape. 2. It is behind times. A modern implementation would use something like Telepathy instead of a homegrown XMPP library. 3. Even if it worked, there is a very good chance it would have several remote execution vulnerabilities. 4. I'm not even sure Inkscape is the proper place for such functionality. It's cool, but it looks very much like feature bloat to me. People can do this much better using Google Docs drawings, which can be exported as SVG. 5. The fact that there were no loud complaints about the disappearance of Inkboard around version 0.47 indicates that few people were using it. Regards, Krzysztof

versioning scheme, take 2
by Josh Andler 22 Jun '11

22 Jun '11

Hey all, Almost two years later and there has been no consensus. It is being brought up again due to a brief discussion with JonCruz via IRC. So, does anyone want to change from the leading 0 scheme at this point? Jon mentioned potential of 4.9 as opposed to 0.49, or the year/month method as Ubuntu uses for example, if 0.49 is released in Aug/Sept it would be 11.08/11.09. Bryce had also suggested a year/current system hybrid a couple years ago when last discussed, such as 2011.0.49 (which I guess I'd rather see something like that go more like 11.49). So... thoughts on if we should do this? My vote? Yes... we need to have a solid leading number because that matters (psychologically) to a number of users. Besides, with Google & Mozilla incrementing version numbers in their software so quickly, it makes me feel less like we need to hold to a very developer oriented version numbering scheme. (come on, Thunderbird even flat out gets to skip a major digit, so that lessens the blow if we did do decimal bump for a 4.9 or whatever else imho) Cheers, Josh

Re: [Inkscape-devel] [Inkscape-user] force relative coordinates
by Jasper van de Gronde 21 Jun '11

21 Jun '11

In response to the original question (forcing Inkscape to use relative coordinates): if anyone wants to change Inkscape's behaviour, the relevant code is in src/svg/path-string.cpp, if you need help changing it, just mail me. (Otherwise, I *may* get around to adding an option myself, but it could take quite a while.) On 21-06-11 13:13, A. da Mek wrote: >>> What would be the best way of forcing the path to (always) relative >>> coordinates? > >> The current behaviour is that Inkscape minimizes the length >> of the path data. > > How can the choice of absolute or relative coordinates affect the length of > the path data? Suppose you have a line from 10,10 to 12,13 then "M 10,10 L 12,13" is longer than "m 10,10 l 2,3". When you have very complex paths this can matter quite a bit. In addition Inkscape leaves out the commands whenever it can, to save even more. It could save still more by doing things like removing white space where possible and such, but that makes the path data really a lot less "readable" and offers relatively little in terms of size reduction. > It is so that the absolute coordinates are used when the node is nearer to > the origin than to the previous node? It is actually a bit more complicated. It uses a technique called dynamic programming to decide on a GLOBALLY optimal strategy. So it can pick the longer alternative locally if that means the complete string will get smaller. > Then maybe translate the layer at least of one page width to left and page > height to top, and all coordinates should be relative. > But when I tried to test this idea, I found that the coordinates are allways > relative if the > preference"allow relative coordinates" is checked. > I thought that this behavior maybe changed in a newer version, so I upgraded > from 0.47 to 0.48.1, but still all coordinates are allways relative. I'm not entirely sure what you mean. If you think you have found a case where Inkscape makes the "wrong" decision (that is, it outputs a longer string than necessary), that would be a bug and I'd love to hear about it. If you're seeing it mostly choose relative coordinates, that is because it favors relative coordinates when all things are equal (this tends to avoid switching between the two, as relative coordinates are hardly ever worse than absolute coordinates). > (BTW, the the length of the path data would be better minimized were the > coordinates smartly rounded instead of such values as -113.000006 > or -12.99999) If you see things like that there can be a number of things going on. One problem is that Inkscape (currently) has to write out values in the decimal number system while internally it uses binary numbers (of course). This leads to a whole host of problems, not the least of which is cases like the ones you give (although generally integers aren't a big problem, so that's a bit weird). Then there is the problem that as you move things around (or even place things) Inkscape works with limited precision and errors might accumulate. When the error gets large enough you can get numbers like the ones you give. Inkscape does round the numbers it writes out though, and you can control that through the preferences. Making numbers "snap" to integers when they deviate from an integer by more than the allowed tolerance is problematic at best. Now, unfortunately you do not give the full path in which you see these numbers appearing, but if these are from relative coordinates then there is a good chance that it is a bug. Suppose that you have set Inkscape to use only 4 digits, and you have a line from 1200.2,0 to 1210.4,0. Using absolute coordinates this would be "M 1200,0 L 1210,0". Using relative coordinates this SHOULD become "m 1200,0 l 10,0", and NOT "m 1200,0 l 10.4,0", and Inkscape does have code to deal with this. So if it does not act like this, then you have found a bug and I'd love to know about it. Especially the -113.000006 has me worried a bit, is it from an actual path? If so, can you please send me the full path data? There is a chance that it is legitimate (again, Inkscape can make a locally suboptimal choice if that ultimately leads to a smaller string), but it does not happen that often, so I'd like to see what happened here.

CSS in SVG tests
by Tavmjong Bah 20 Jun '11

20 Jun '11

Hi, I've been slowly adapting some of the CSS 2.1 test suite to SVG. You can find the tests at: http://tavmjong.free.fr/SVG/SVG_CSS_TESTS/2.1/HTML/index.html The tests have been given the same names as the CSS tests they were inspired from. The tests are not guaranteed to be correct. Each page displays the SVG file next to PNG rendered by Inkscape. Tav

Using xpath in Inkscape code?
by unknown＠example.com 19 Jun '11

19 Jun '11

I would like to be able to select nodes using XPath: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/798640 I naively assumed this would be trivial but when I dig in the code it doesn't seem like it is. In particular it is not immediately obvious how to convert between Inkscapes DOM model and libxml2:she model. The simplest way I can think about now is a workaround involving loading the file with libxml2, and find the nodes in that tree instead. I can't be the only one wanting to do things like this. I'm obviously missing something, right? -- Joakim Verona

Code Walk Through
by Jeremy Villalobos 19 Jun '11

19 Jun '11

Hello: I am a new developer. I have dowloaded Inkscape source, compiled it, and have browsed the code with Eclipse (my favorite IDE). My end goal is to collaborate to add open_cl to Inkscape to make it superfast ! For now, I would like some guidence about the code. Is there a code walk-through either presentation style on youtube or a guide (link) ?

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Font fall back support for inkscape

I'm not sure if this is completely related to this discussion, but I'd like to leave my 2 cents. Currently inkscape does a rather weird font substitution (at least I, as a user, can't tell how and when it works) and there's no clear indicator of that substitution except the warning icon in the font selector once the text element is edited. In my experience (both with libre and proprietary applications) automatic font fallback has never been completely succesful and frequently it's more problematic than helpful. Manual selection of the replacement is always annoying but at least less dangerous. To make it worse, there's no visual indication that fonts have been replaced in Inkscape, so things can look fine at a first glance when in reality they are very wrong when you sent the artwork to print, exported, etc. Automatic font fallback can be useful for document accessibility, but from a graphic designer perspective it's too dangerous to be considered as a viable option. Since I consider Inkscape a design application I'd say it's more important to actually KNOW that the original font isn't available than finding a quick replacement (which potentially could completely destroy the original design because the character set isn't complete, metrics don't match or simply its style is different). IMO the ideal solution would be the use of embeddable fonts as it was stated before, but meanwhile a safer choice would be to replace the missing fonts using the default (or yes, using some font replacement technique) but making it visually clear the the fonts used in the document aren't the originally assigned, using some highlight or visual cue of some kind. But anyway, before speaking about how fonts have to be replaced, Bug #168658 should be addressed since it's too dangerous for artwork integrity.

Show/Hide objects to export in command-line
by Thibaut Girka 17 Jun '11

17 Jun '11

Hi, I'm using inkscape for various projects, and I'm now concerned about automatically rendering graphics for my game project. However, several images are rendered from the same SVG file, with different layers/objects visibles. While --export-id (and --export-id-only) is helpful in some cases, it's not always sufficient. Therefore, I think hiding certain objects with a new command-line option such as --hide-id would be a worthy improvement. Allowing multiple --export-id might be useful too. Regards, Thibaut Girka.

Anyone know of an official platform for Inkscape? The Brazilian community was using Pootle, but now we need another platform and service in the cloud; Someone knows something? There is a proposal to use http://www.transifex.net Has anyone used this?

Guideline snap rotation absolute/relative
by LucaDC 16 Jun '11

16 Jun '11

In rev. 10303 guidelines shift+ctrl rotation has been changed to consider the guide initial angle as base. The absolute rotation was made by purpose, it was not a bug to be fixed. Guidelines are absolute objects and it was decided to make them snap at absolute angles, regardless of their initial orientation. Also, now a relative rotation is made possible by the new math in input fields feature: just open a guide, then write a +15 in the angle field and it's done. Personally I find the "relative" option of little usefullness. Should I need it, there is already a simple way to obtain it, while I use a lot absolute snapping so I can "recycle" guides already on screen rather than throwing a lot, having to clean them one by one. More: the math needed requires trigonometric functions and this makes me think that repeatedly rotating a guide will inevitably lead to rounding errors so you could eventually end up with a guide not starting from where it was at the beginning. This is a huge problem for technical drawings and would force me to carefully avoid using this function (this means always opening the guide menu and input the desired angle or always start from a vertical or horizontal guide and make a single rotation!). I ask for reverting back to the previous behaviour, please. Or add a different modifier for the two options (but we already know that there are less modifiers than the functions involved with guides...). Regards.
