Preferences refactoring - important changes
by Krzysztof Kosiński 20 Oct '08

20 Oct '08

Rev 20019 is a preferences refactoring mega-commit. Most of the changes are there in order to simplify adding a GConf backend soon (I'll get to this after cleaning up in the preferences.xml file and handling enum and color preferences sanely). Here are the most important changes from the developer perspective: 1. Preference path syntax has changed to use a single path and slashes instead of dots as separators. The old syntax was based on the fact that preferences are stored as attributes of XML nodes, which was the reason for separation of the two path parameters. The new syntax uses a familiar file system metaphor, and will simplify adding GConf and possibly other backends, like the Mac OS X settings files mentioned somewhere here (?). 2. Preferences are handled through the singleton object Inkscape::Preferences. Use its methods instead of the prefs-utils.h functions. They are mostly equivalent. Be sure to use the correct type. 3. There is no inkscape_get_repr() any more. To retrieve a CSS style from preferences, use the getStyle() or getInheritedStyle() methods. 4. You cannot add an XML observer to the prefs document. Instead, use the inner class Inkscape::Preferences::Observer. Additionally, you can't add the same observer to more than one preference path - you'll have to create multiple instances. There are no changes to the preferences.xml format yet. There will be changes to it in the future, to remove things like /options/somerandomoption/value (which should be /options/some_random_option in GConf, or even better /options/some_appropriate_group/some_random_option) but I'll try to handle them transparently. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Preferences-refactoring---important-changes-tp2007233… Sent from the Inkscape - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Attribute lock ratio proposal
by Patrick 20 Oct '08

20 Oct '08

Like many of you I would like to advance the use of SVG only web design. Unless I am missing something, one problem that exists is the automatic Y-axis scaling of designs with text. Specifically what I am referring to is the fact that the flow text box "dead ends" once it is full unlike an html div that can continue to autosize in the Y-Axis(or X). In addition even if the flow text box did resize other elements in the design would not. If for instance we had a blue square for a background and some text in the center then the blue box would also need to resize to prevent the text from flowing past the bottom of it. My programming skills are not up to standard with the rest of you but if you would like, I could hack together a proof of concept in Python, if it was of value someone could re-do it in C and you folks could figure out a where and how to use it in the GUI. By counting line numbers and the pixel height of the letters, I should be able to calculate the size the flow text box should be and then I could use those attributes to resize other attributes. Am I missing something? Is this a dumb idea? -Patrick

documentation effort
by unknown＠example.com 19 Oct '08

19 Oct '08

Hi all, (cc. Inkscape devel, maybe there are some documentation wizzards out there) I've started a bit of documentation work. The Doxyfile configuration file for doxygen has been updated to the latest version. I've also made some tweaks that I found useful, or want to try a bit. First hour I am using doxygen so... Go to lib2geom's root and run doxygen. Then, you should get doc/html/index.html, which is the homepage of the generated documentation. As you can see, there is a lot to do. Please read a bit of the doxygen manual if you want to contribute a lot. Note 1: Doxygen can generate nice equations: http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/formulas.html Put your LaTeX equations between a pair of "\f$" commands: \f$ x = 1 \f$ Note 2: Doxygen makes use of special commands you can put in your code, such as: /** \brief Scales this vector to make it a unit vector (within rounding error). * * The current version tries to handle infinite coordinates gracefully, * but it's not clear that any callers need that. * * \pre \f$this \neq (0, 0)\f$ * \pre Neither component is NaN. * \post \f$-\epsilon<\left|this\right|-1<\epsilon\f$ */ void Point::normalize() { ... It is worth checking out other commands like \param, \see and \return. Note 3: The documentation is filled with "Geom::" namespace. I have not yet figured out how to tell doxygen to only document the Geom:: namespace and leave all other things (like std!!!!?!??!) out. Note 4: Doxygen accepts two command styles: \pre and @pre. They can be mingled without a problem I think, but shall we try to use the slash? \file, \brief, etc. Note 5: I'll be adding a lot of empty template documentation comments, so you don't have to think much about how to add documentation. This way, many people can help without much knowledge of doxygen. Note 6: We should get a server to run this every day and put it on the web somewhere! (including a tar so people can download it?) Cheers, Johan

Spiro & "piecewise clothoid curves"
by Bill Baxter 17 Oct '08

17 Oct '08

Saw this paper at SBIM 2008. Sketching Piecewise Clothoid Curves http://www.dgp.toronto.edu/~mccrae/clothoid/ It may be very similar to how Spiro is implemented, but last time I looked at Spiro I couldn't find any sort of an algorithmic description. Anyway, the approach presented by this paper seems pretty simple and logical to me, so maybe it could suggest some ideas for Spiro. Or not. It's a good read either way. The video is nice too. --bb

inkboard
by monroy-lopez 14 Oct '08

14 Oct '08

Hello. I have been trying out Inkboard without much success. Sorry about being so vague but I haven't noticed a pattern. It just... doesn't work :( I'm wondering... what's the status of Inkboard? In case it's just my configuration, this was the set-up: Inkscape 0.46-r5 on Gentoo. Two computers were connecting to gristle.org. Connecting (and sometimes chatting) works without problems. So far, I have not been able to share a canvas... Best wishes, ivan

icons
by unknown＠example.com 14 Oct '08

14 Oct '08

Hi all, Inkscape on Windows has had this warning for a looong time now: (inkscape.exe:2628): Gtk-WARNING **: Could not find the icon 'edit-select-all'. The 'hicolor' theme was not found either, perhaps you need to install it. You can get a copy from: http://icon-theme.freedesktop.org/releases The select-all icon is displayed correctly in the menu, but is not displayed in the toolbar. I've been trying to get rid of this warning/error; and as a result I think I've found some legacy dead code concerning icons. Are /src/ui/icons.h and icons.cpp ever used sensibly? The only one calling to these files is edit-widget.cpp. If I remove that call "Icons::init();", nothing changes for me. (all icons are displayed correctly, except for the select all icon in the toolbar) the code in similar files seems very old and not used: stock-items.cpp stock.h Who can tell me more about these files? I am planning on deleting them. Thanks, Johan

Appreciation for migration work
by Bob Jamison 13 Oct '08

13 Oct '08

Hi all, I mentioned this on #inkscape, but I thought I should post this on the list, too. For the last several weeks, Johan, Josh, and others have been making huge commits, migrating the vector math code from libnr to 2geom. And for the last few weeks, the grumpier among us (like me :-) have been grouching about build breaks and/or the requirement to perform a complete build after every "svn up." But, hey, that's natural. We like to complain. But nobody should ever forget the fact that we really appreciate the huge amounts of work that they have been doing, the massive commits they have been making, and all of the headaches they have been suffering. These guys deserve our heartfelt thanks for moving ahead and giving the migration the momentum it needs. bob (ishmal)

Next version(0.47) string freeze
by Lucas Vieites 13 Oct '08

13 Oct '08

Hi, a few days ago someone mentioned how close the string freeze was for the new version (0.47). Is this real? Has a release calendar been set for 0.47? If so, where can I find it? The Roadmap data on the website is generic and has no dates. I'm just being curious and anxious to start translating the new strings in es.po. Thanks in advance. -- Lucas Vieites

lpe and transforms
by jf barraud 10 Oct '08

10 Oct '08

Hi, Transforms (translate, rotate, etc...) and lpe do not get on well... If you are not familiar to it, consider lpe-bend for instance: Imagine you rotate the input, but not the path parameter (along which the input is bent) the new result is completely different. So transforms need a particular treatment in presence of lpes. Our solution to this problem up to now is to transform the parameters along with the object (or more precisely, to let each lpe decide what todo on transform). This (good!) solution is user friendly, as your lpe parameters nicely move along with your object. However, it implies some limitations (please invalidate if I'm wrong!): I think it prevents from sharing lpes accross different objects, as if one is moved but not the other, which one should be followed by the lpe-parameters? Note that atm, lpe are automatically forked/made unique when you move one object, and I guess that's the reason (?right?). A related (but different) question is about "cloned" path parameters (i.e. references). I might be wrong, but I think path-reference parameters are not transformed atm. (Marginally, one can even think of lpe that depend on the object location, but not relatively to a path or point parameter --- "underlying objects color" for instance?!?--- in which case, transfering the transform to parameters is useless; hmmm! I agree, this is pure abstraction ;-) Although this is not a critical issue ("sharing lpe" jsut does not make sens for a lot of them!!), I think it's a good thing to have, so let's discuss possible strategies! One easy workaround is to add a "lpe-transform" at the end of the lpe-stack whenever the object is transformed (of course, if the last lpe is already a (non shared) transform-lpe, we should just update it instead of adding a new one). This is easy to implement and solves the issue. I think it is a bit cleaner as pes don't have to care about transforms anymore, etc... The (serious) drawback however, common to all solution you can think of, is that if the lpe-parameters do not follow the object anymore, you'll have to look for them all the time and everywhere: if you applied your lpe somewhere, and moved your object a lot, at edition time you'll wonder why the lpe parameter shows up at the other corner of the page, which was the original place, but you completely forgot about. :-( As a conclusion, if we want to keep track of the objects transforms *and* allow lpe to be shared, lpe must be able to strore object specific information at objects level (not in the lpe itself in the defs). Maybe we could add one more attribute to the object, where lpes could register all the data they need (this would be usefull for other purposes anyway). This would make it possible to remember the original position of the object when the lpe was applied: lpe paramters could then be suitably transformed at apply/display/edition time, but stored untransformed. What do you think? jfb.

Re: [Inkscape-devel] inkscape_version.h is not being updated
by Bob Jamison 09 Oct '08

09 Oct '08

Hi! Thanks for this info. Well, until recently, the SVN revision was not being dynamically fetched at all, so the dependency on inkscape_version.h has remained the same. I have seen this, too, and have added inkscape_version.h to the "touchabout" and "clean" targets. It should have been listed there already, but I guess that since it was never dynamic before, it didn't matter previously. Creating inkscape_version.h -every- time would be overkill and a burden for people wanting to only compile their own files, since that would force aboutbox.cpp to be compiled every time. So... for the typical build/code/build/code cycle, just occasionally do "btool touchabout". "btool clean" will take care of a complete build. -However-, I can see where it might be necessary for <makefile> to make a file every time, regardless if it is up-to-date. So I added an attribute, 'force="true"' to <makefile> to allow this. bob -----Original Message----- >From: Preben Soeberg <prsodk@...400...> >Sent: Oct 9, 2008 1:44 AM >To: inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net >Subject: [Inkscape-devel] inkscape_version.h is not being updated > >Hi, > > > >On Windows XP, if inkscape.version.h exists, it is not being updated with >the new revision number, and the old revision number appears in the help >about splash. > >After deleting inkscape_version.h, it is generated with correct revision >number. > >I have seen this behavior since revision 19964. > > > >Preben >

Hi, On Windows XP, if inkscape.version.h exists, it is not being updated with the new revision number, and the old revision number appears in the help about splash. After deleting inkscape_version.h, it is generated with correct revision number. I have seen this behavior since revision 19964. Preben

r19979 - crash on open of SVG

Hi there, I've been doing a more er less daily build of inkscape, and the last few days have been crashing when I try to open an existing SVG file (through the file open dialog). The last stable working version for me was r19967 (Fedora 9 x86_64, KDE4.1.1, using 'updates-testing' repo). Here's the output I get at the console: ------- ** ERROR:(display/nr-filter-units.cpp:44):void NR::FilterUnits::set_resolution(double, double): assertion failed: (x_res > 0) Emergency save activated!

Problem with running Inkscape on KDE 4.1.2
by ryrych＠...400... 07 Oct '08

07 Oct '08

Hello, I've done a upgrade of my debian recently. I instlled KDE 4.1.2 and now my Inkscape would't run. I got an error: inkscape: error while loading shared libraries: libpoppler.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory but I've got libpoppler in /usr/lib/libpoppler.so.3.0.0 The package libpoppler3 is required by KDE 4.1 so I can't remove it and restore the older one. Everything was OK before my upgrade in Sunday. What's the matter? Could you help me? cheers, Wojciech RRH Ryrych :)

Cairo PDF, PS, and PNG output.
by Tavmjong Bah 07 Oct '08

07 Oct '08

Hi, I've just checked in a few more "fixes" to Cairo PDF, PS, and, PNG output. Clipping and masking now work at least at a basic level. Let me know if you find any problems. Note, evince may not display an object using an image as a mask but acroread will. I know of a few more problems with Cairo output: 1. First and last points of closed paths aren't joined properly. At least in the PS output, the last point is doubled and there is no closepath. 2. Clipping path output twice in PS (maybe PDF too). The second time it is unused. 3. Patterns don't always display correctly in PNG output. Any other problems people know about? Tav

I am DAILY cutting vinyl with Inkscape
by bruce westfall 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

I've posted this before, but here goes again - What I am currently doing is organizing a cut page with Inkscape, saving that single color file as /home/bruce/hpgl/newplot.ps I then click a script called 'cut newplot.ps' which changes to the correct directory, generates a view using evince ( just to make sure I'm going to cut the right thing ) and then activates another script based on the one found at: http://pldaniels.com/hpgl-distiller/ ( I changed a few things and am more than happy to share everything with anyone. ) Once I close the preview, the plotter does it's thing. ----------------------------- I would like to create a menu item in Inkscape, but haven't figured that out yet. Any links on how to make a custom menu item?? -- Bruce Westfall 740-767-3636 740-707-7038

Inkscape and GMP.
by Polarina 06 Oct '08

Rounding errors bug me a lot with these "0.999995" values in the SVG files, it lead me to the idea of creating a patch that makes Inkscape use GMP instead of floating-point values. Discuss - I do not want to take the effort into creating this patch if it turns out to be inappropriate after all. Thank you, Polarina.

Inkscape component libraries support
by Brian Allen Vanderburg II 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

This may already be possible but I'm not certain. I'm currently using 0.44 Debian until I get all the required dependencies compiled. I would like to be able to create named components in an external file and be able to 'import' these items into my svg files and use them. If modified in the external file, the svgs using them would update. Is there any way to do this or does SVG even support something like this? Brian Vanderburg II

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Fwd: NEW: more modes in Tweak tool
by Inkscaper Inkscaper 05 Oct '08

05 Oct '08

> Several new modes are added to the Tweak tool for transforming, > duplicating, and deleting selected objects using the same "soft brush" > metaphor that the path editing and coloring modes use. Using these new > modes, it is easy to "sculpt" scatterings of small objects, such as > clone tilings, into complex and naturalistic textures. Those are great new features, but this makes tweak tool even more cluttered, wouldn't clones be better for such funcionality? I would propose to split it into: 1. Clone tool ( or Spray/Aerograph tool) - with buttons for creating new clones and changing properities which are currently hidden under "Create tiled clones" window, like align, distribution, size, rotation, blur, opacity and color. This tool would operate only on clones. 2. Tweak tool, which would make the only thing not possible with clones - change shape of different object(s) (push, shrink, attrack, roughten) , and if eventually used on linked clone - unlink them. Current solution encourages users to create zilions of similar objects first, and then radnomise them using smudge tool, which doesn't seem to be elegant way of doing things and will result in huge ang ugly svg files.

This is likely to be that the poppler API changed. We've added a fix for that, and detection, in SVN but not released a patch for 0.46 for it. It's been on my TODO list for a little while as this is also broken with the 0.46 packages in Intrepid and any other distro that is shipping an updated version of poppler. --Ted

Hi Adrian! Thank you for the patch. I have taken care of the bug reports as it did turn out to be a duplicate report issue. It appears that the issue in the reports is actually library related, as I can not reproduce it with a newer distribution (Ubuntu Intrepid) and the 0.46 release. I have attached the patch you supplied to the bug report so it can be tested against Ubuntu Hardy to see if it is fixed there (as that generation of distro seems to exhibit the problem).

lpe vonkoch
by jf barraud 30 Sep '08

30 Sep '08

Hi! I did separate the "reference path" and the "generating path" in lpe-vonkoch. I think it makes the UI more clear, but it changes previous conventions of course (the last segment of the old generating path should be cut/pasted into the new "generating path"). Caution: this might change again. As it is supposed to contain only one segment, the "reference path" could/should be replaced by 2 points (on the other hand, it might be more convenient to be able to move both points at once, copy/paste that segment, etc..., so I'm not sure what's the best here). I also modified the tooltips, and parameter order, trying to follow your remarks. Thank you Alexandre P. and joncruz. Please review it again... Bye, JF.

Maybe I didn't explain it correctly... I don't intend this to replace the zoom to selection button. Rather this is a new mode which would zoom in when pressed and zoom out when pressed again. The zoom in level would be detrmined by the largest zoom factor used on the last action, and the zoom out level would be determined by the smallest zoom factor used for a determined period of time (to avoid setting a zoom out level accidentally while zooming out with the wheel/zoom tool). The workflow would be like this: 1. You have an object and zoom in and do some fine tuning on the nodes. The zoom in factor is determined (and the zoom position). 2. You zoom back and stare at the changes for a while. In this short period of time the zoom out factor gets determined. 3. Press the key and you go back to zoom in state and do some more tweakings. 4. Press key again and go back to zoom out state. Stare at the editing and go back to zoom in if you wish. Something like this. Would be too cumbersome? > So, a single key which travels back through your history of zooms is a > much better solution. > That's kinda what I'm looking for... implementation details aside. Regards.

lpe point/path parameters incompatibility?
by jf barraud 27 Sep '08

27 Sep '08

Synopsis: Choose an lpe having both a point and a path among it's parameters. Apply it to an object. Node-edit the path parameter. Exit node-edit mode and move the object around. Inkscape crashes when you release the mouse. [ Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x77c17742 in strcmp () from C:\WINDOWS\system32\msvcrt.dll ] You might complain there is no such lpe in the code base. hmmm. Right. This is a virtual bug (so very difficult to reproduce!), and the reason why I submit it here and not in launchpad. My new version of VonKoch would fit, but I don't want to commit it and get on all users nerves because of unexpected crashes... To make it less virtual, take lpe-test-doEffect-stack (an empty effect, good for testing) . -------------------- - in lpe-test-doEffect-stack.h, add #include "live_effects/parameter/path.h" ... PathParam path; - in lpe-test-doEffect-stack.cpp, add (in the LPE creator:) path(_("path param"), "tooltip of path parameter", "path_param", &wr, this,"M 0,100 100,0") ... registerParameter( dynamic_cast<Parameter *>(&path) ); -------------------- Is this the correct way to add a path parameter? When I do so, the bug shows up. If I comment out every thing about either the point or the path parameter, it works fine. When both are present it crashes (adding a redefinition of the path in a resetDefaults() function does not help) Am I missing something? any help/confirm/invalidate appreciated! Inkscapely yours, JF.

It calculates a width of 83111 and a height of 18847. The calculated space for the image can not be given. BTW The same crash you get when you want to convert the object to bitmap. Despite the problem that it not properly handles NULL pointer after the g_new, could you please evaluate WHY it tells this huge bounding box? Regards, Adib. ---

Stand alone inkscape version for servers
by Bassel Safadi 26 Sep '08

26 Sep '08

Hello folks, we are trying to include the functionality of converting svg files to png in our web content management system ( ccHost ) mostly for ( openclipart.org ), I tried every possible solution using imagemagick and GD, but nothing did the job as of inkscape, so we decided to actually use inkscape for that ( below the php function that do this ), that cleared the biggest problem, but still have another one: inkscape have a GUI that means a lot of stuff needed to be installed on a "web server " to get inkscape running, but we are using inkscape from the command line and we don't need all that fancy GUI things.. So can you please help us shipping ( or doing this if possible for us ) a stand alone ( one file only ) copy of inkscape without GUI, just the command line, in case we got a one file inkscape binary we can use in a lot of content management systems to actually add the functionality of converting and handling SVG files it will be great if some one can do it, we need such thing a lot Thank you all in advance. Best regards, Bassel Safadi _______________________________________ php function that can handle svg to png converting using inkscape: function convert_svg_png($path_to_inkscape, $svg_default_background, $images_path, $filename){ $filenamepng = str_replace(".svg", ".png", $filename); //check if inkscape is exists exec("".$path_to_inkscape."inkscape -V", $checkversion); if ($checkversion[0]){ exec("".$path_to_inkscape."inkscape -e ".$images_path.$filenamepng." ".$images_path.$filename." --export-background=".$svg_default_background."", $output); }else{ $output = "<b>Fatel Error: </b>Can't find (inkscape)"; } return $output; }

Hi, Could you please allow users to redefine this shortcut? I can't find it in global keys/default.xml file. It's a bit frustrating as I was using "q" key to group objects for a half year or so, and after update this key started to zoom objects and nothing can be done to change it. I had the same problem with "d" and space keys, but those were hard coded for a long time, so most users probably get used to them.

Fwd: NEW: more modes in Tweak tool
by bulia byak 26 Sep '08

26 Sep '08

Oops, looks like I sent this to 2geom-devel instead of inkscape-devel by mistake... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: bulia byak <buliabyak@...400...> Date: Fri, Sep 19, 2008 at 1:32 PM Subject: NEW: more modes in Tweak tool To: "lib2geom-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net" <lib2geom-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net>, Inkscape User Community <inkscape-user(a)lists.sourceforge.net> Several new modes are added to the Tweak tool for transforming, duplicating, and deleting selected objects using the same "soft brush" metaphor that the path editing and coloring modes use. Using these new modes, it is easy to "sculpt" scatterings of small objects, such as clone tilings, into complex and naturalistic textures. * Move mode moves those selected objects that are under the brush in the direction in which you move the brush. This is similar to the Push path mode, except that the Move mode affects entire objects and not parts of the paths under the brush. * Move in/out mode moves those selected objects that are under the brush towards the cursor (default) or away from cursor (with Shift pressed). This is similar to the Attract/repel path mode, except that the Move in/out mode affects entire objects and not parts of the paths under cursor. * Move jitter mode moves those selected objects that are under the brush in random directions and by random amounts, but the overall amount of movement depends on Force, pen pressure (if you're using a tablet pen), on the closeness of the object to the center of brush, and on how long you apply the brush. * Scale mode scales those selected objects that are under the brush down (by default) or up (with Shift pressed). The speed of scaling depends on Force, pen pressure (if you're using a tablet pen), on the closeness of the object to the center of brush, and on how long you apply the brush. * Rotate mode rotates those selected objects that are under the brush clockwise (by default) or counterclockwise (with Shift pressed). The speed of rotation depends on Force, pen pressure (if you're using a tablet pen), on the closeness of the object to the center of brush, and on how long you apply the brush. * Duplicate/delete mode randomly duplicates those selected objects that are under the brush (by default) or deletes them (with Shift pressed). The chance of an object to be duplicated and deleted depends on Force, pen pressure (if you're using a tablet pen), on the closeness of the object to the center of brush, and on how long you apply the brush. As with regular Duplicate command, duplicating with Tweak tool places the copies right over the originals, and you may need to use the Move jitter mode to ruffle them apart. Note that the duplicates created by the tool are not automatically added to selection and therefore are out of reach for further tweaking until you manually select them. To work around this, group all the objects you are working on and select the group. All Tweak modes will work with individual objects inside the group, and any objects created by the Duplicate mode will also be part of that selected group and therefore immediately tweakable. Also, the existing path editing modes of the tool have been rearranged: now Shrink and Grow are one mode (shrinks by default, grows with Shift), and Attract and Repel are one mode (attracts by default, repels with Shift). Here is a complete list of modes and shortcuts of the Tweak tool: Shift+m, Shift+0 move mode Shift+i, Shift+1 move in/out mode Shift+z, Shift+2 move jitter mode Shift+<, Shift+>, Shift+3 scale mode Shift+[, Shift+], Shift+4 rotate mode Shift+d, Shift+5 duplicate/delete mode Shift+p, Shift+6 push path mode Shift+s, Shift+7 shrink/grow path mode Shift+a, Shift+8 attract/repel path mode Shift+r, Shift+9 roughen mode Shift+c color paint mode Shift+j color jitter mode -- bulia byak Inkscape.

On hold
by Maximilian Albert 25 Sep '08

25 Sep '08

Hi all, just a quick note to all of you who are waiting for me to further work on (i.e., clean up, improve, extend, etc.) my latest contributions: It's likely to take a while until I can resume this work since my laptop ceased to work a couple of days ago. I can't tell yet how severe a problem it is (although I'm not too confident) and how fast it can be fixed - if at all... But in any case it'll take some time before I can set up either this or a new machine and start working on Inkscape again. Sorry for the inconvenience. :-(( Max -- GMX Kostenlose Spiele: Einfach online spielen und Spaß haben mit Pastry Passion! http://games.entertainment.gmx.net/de/entertainment/games/free/puzzle/61691…

Posible bug with text on windows
by Michael Grosberg 25 Sep '08

25 Sep '08

I have a problem with the behavior of the text tool which has been bugging me (excuse the pun) ever since 0.46 came out and still exists in the dev builds. I'm guessing it's something unique to my system or else it would have been reported long ago. First, my system description: Windows XP SP2, with Hebrew language support and some Hebrew fonts installed. I also have Inkscape installed on my Ubuntu system at home, with no problems there. The problem is with the font selection drop-down box in the toolbar. On my system, it just doesn't work. I can't select fonts using it. If I have text selected, I can open the drop down, and click on a font, but then nothing happens. the drop down list stays open as if I haven't clicked anything. If I'm on the text tool but have not yet clicked on the canvas and don't have any text selected, I can select a new font from the list, it will seem as if I just set a new font, but once click on the canvas to begin writing, the font reverts to the last used font. I can only use the text dialog to change font. The font size drop-down box on the toolbar works normally though. Is this a known bug? if not I'll report it officially in the bug tracker. Michael

Illustrator CS4 New Features
by Josh Andler 23 Sep '08

23 Sep '08

http://www.adobe.com/products/illustrator/features/?view=topnew Well... the Multiple Artboards appears to be somewhat like SVG viewboxes. Otherwise not surprisingly a couple other new features would be transparency in gradients and on-canvas gradient editing. And I'm unsure of the Blob Brush... I can't watch the video because apparently Flash doesn't want to work for me today. -Josh

Big Thanks - redux
by jiho 22 Sep '08

22 Sep '08

## Sorry for the earlier stub of an email, here is the full thing: Dear everyone, I have not been very active for the last few months regarding Inkscape matters, less than I would have wanted to anyway. The reason why is posted there: http://jo.irisson.free.fr/work/#publications Low resolution version - 3.8Mb : http://jo.irisson.free.fr/work/papers/these_irisson-web.pdf High quality version - 24Mb : http://jo.irisson.free.fr/work/papers/these_irisson.pdf I was preparing, defending, and correcting my PhD dissertation. While of little interest to most of you (I guess no one here is currently dying to know where fish larvae go after they are spawned), I wanted to take advantage of this occasion to thank everyone who was ever involved in the development of Inkscape. Every single graphic (scientific or not for that matter!) that I have dealt with in the last 4-5 years have gone through Inkscape and the experience has been delightful (most of the time ;) ). For all of the 60+ graphics of my manuscript, the excellent PDF import and export of the current version, as well as the notorious ease of use of Inkscape's GUI, on canvas tools, and shortcuts were invaluable. The illustrations in my dissertation are probably not very impressive for full-fledged graphic designers; by scientific standards however, they are (hopefully) not too bad, even quite good for some (most of you would be horrified to see what ends up on presentations slides in the average life sciences conference!). I really think that the quality of the tools I used made me upgrade my personal quality standards and, at the same time, allowed me to meet these standards. I am recommending Inkscape often in the scientific community, especially now that it integrates so well file-format wise with the rest of the workflow. Except for X11 issues on Mac OS X (which are mine to fix) people are usually very happy with it, and sometimes surprised that such quality software could be free. I encourage them to think about what they could bring to the software and the community in return, in terms of quality bug reports, well thought suggestions and the like. Hopefully this will pay in the long term. Anyhow, I really wanted to thank you all for such a fine piece of software and for the great community that revolves around it. Working with (and, on too rare occasions, for) Inkscape is an enjoyable and gratifying experience. JiHO --- http://jo.irisson.free.fr/

lpe sketch, vonkoch, and knot.
by jf barraud 22 Sep '08

22 Sep '08

Hi! I quickly added a few words in the wiki about Sketch, Knot and VonKoch. Please feel free to review and eventually translate to decent english ;-). btw: I remember I had some remarks about the name of the "knot" effect. Does it sound correct? Would "over-under" be more evocative? Any suggestion? I also have 2-3 more questions about lpes: -Is there a way to hide/show knotholder/helper paths on demand --- at the moment, I through them far away off the page :-( -Is there a way to have arbitrary and dynamically varrying number of knotholders? I would like to have one per crossing... -An alternative would be to replace them by a path, with a function called whenever a point is clicked. Is this possible? Thanks! JF.

Preferences refactoring + Calligraphy tool
by Krzysztof Kosiński 22 Sep '08

22 Sep '08

I have committed a rewrite of the preferences system. The old Inkscape::Preferences stub class was replaced by a meaningful singleton, and everything in prefs-utils.h except the recent file list was replaced with stub functions using the new class. I replaced all instances of prefs_get_string_attribute(), create_pref(), pref_path_number_of_children() and pref_path_get_nth_children(). I'll now concentrate on refactoring code which contains calls to inkscape_get_repr() - it is equivalent to the new _getNode member function, but it should be private. I have also introduced boolean preferences in a backwards-compatible way - generally you can replace prefs_get_int_attribute_limited(blah1, blah2, 0, 1, 0) with prefs->getBool(blah1, blah2). There is however some weird breakage in the Calligraphy tool - e.g. sometimes it seems that tracing is on while the widgets indicate that it is off. I don't know whether this is something introduced by the rewrite or a pre-existing bug. Can someone more familiar with this code (widgets/toolbox.cpp) take a look? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Preferences-refactoring-%2B-Calligraphy-tool-tp195164… Sent from the Inkscape - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: [Inkscape-devel] web page to show svg file
by Tena Sakai 19 Sep '08

19 Sep '08

Hi Sorin, I am happy with what I discovered, albeit via big meandering. I have no more issues. Here's the "big picture" as you asked. I have an svg file I created via Inkscape, call it SampleFile.svg. And using a sample given by http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Web-Use.html I created a webpage: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>SVG Included with <object> tag in an XHTML File</title> </head> <body> <h2>s o m e h e a d i n g</h2> <object type="image/svg+xml" data="SampleFile.svg"> Browser does not support SVG files! </object> </body> </html> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ which works fine. My question was how to make a link (ie., href) thereby users can click the link and get my file displayed. Ultimately, I have 46 files I want to display, but I want any user to pick ones they want via a bunch of hrefs. That was/is what I am after. I didn't/don't intend to create a web page via Inkscape. I think that's what Nicu is doing. By looking at the example above, I made things overly difficult. What I am now doing is to have the filename at the right side of the equal sign of href specification and it works simply and elegantly (so long as I use firefox v3.01, which is not a problem for me). Thanks for your helping hand. I appreciate it.

Don't try to generate HTML from Inkscape ( as I know ..this feature is not planned very soon ), and also this is a nonsense. Do your graphics on Inkscape, save your work as JPG, then use Gimp to cut your graphics on pieces, then assemble pieces with an HTML editor eg. Kompozer / Seamonkey / Dreamweaver / Namo Wen Editor / Microsoft Expression Web. I use first 3 editors because I use 98% of my PC time Ubuntu and only 2% of time ...XP for different Corel Draw conversions. My last 2 websites ( both are not finished yet ) are done in Inkscape - all graphics ( ...less photos ofcourse ). Then I use Dreamweaver to put images on tables.

ABLEConf this weekend in AZ (and a request for images)
by Josh Andler 18 Sep '08

18 Sep '08

Hey all, This Saturday, September 20, 2008 in Tempe, AZ (USA) the first ever ABLEConf will be taking place. I will be doing a presentation as well as Q&A session on Inkscape there (in addition to the many other speakers that will be there that day). If you are in AZ I'd recommend coming if possible. Additionally, if you are in AZ and not in the Metro Phoenix area, people from around the state are trying to arrange ride shares to reduce the cost for everyone making a trip. To find out more about the conference, the location, and the ride sharing go to http://www.ableconf.com/ Additionally, I was asked to put together a gallery of images created with FLOSS tools. So far I have mostly gathered illustration and some design work from some Inkscape users via deviantart, however a lot of people have not responded to messages (a lot of people don't log in as much as they used to). So... that leads to the following request: If you have any images created/edited/composited with any FLOSS tools such as Inkscape, The GIMP, Krita, Karbon14, Blender, Scribus, or your other favorite open source apps please get in contact with me directly. We'd love to display your work and credit you appropriately (it's a great way to get free advertising if you're looking for contract work). Note that were looking for Illustrations, Design (web, logos, marketing materials, etc), diagrams, blueprints, photography (obviously color corrected, manipulated, etc), industrial or trade related images, and the list could go on. A focus of the conference and this image gallery is to show the small businesses how versatile and powerful the tools available are. Oh, and if you want to pass on the word too that would be more than welcome! :) Cheers, Josh

web page to show svg file

Hi, I hope I am posting to the right place. If not, please advise where I should post. I have a web page which I got from http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Web-Use.html The first example given there is what I took. The html file looks like (I have modified it so very slightly, but it works as expected): ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>SVG Included with <object> tag in an XHTML File</title> </head> <body> <h2>s o m e h e a d i n g</h2> <object type="image/svg+xml" data="SampleFile.svg"> Browser does not support SVG files! </object> </body> </html> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The data file SampleFile.svg is made by inkscape and what I am interested in doing now is to make a hyperlink out of the object tag. Would someone please give me a tip? An example would be highly appreciated. Thank you. Regards, Tena Sakai tsakai@...2019...

lpe vonkoch
by jf barraud 17 Sep '08

17 Sep '08

Hi, I updated the vonkoch lpe to handle groups and allow general transformations. Caution: I had to *change* the meaning of the path parameter: It is now supposed to consist in separated paths of 1 or 2 consecutives segments (remaining segs are ignored). A single segment defines a rescaling map (pevious behaviour) 2 segments define a general transform (sending a frame attached to the original object to this new "frame") If VonKoch was used with consecutive segments, you'll have to separate them to obtain the same result. Please report bugs, or suggestion to improve usability and "understandability"... JF

Patterns with clipped objects become (partly) invisible, depending on zoom level
by worms invasion 16 Sep '08

16 Sep '08

Hello. A pattern with a clipped object becomes partly or totally invisible, depending on zoom level and/or if it's selected, in latest inkscape build. (I used http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32/Inkscape19816-0809080916.7z ) The file "mesh7_046R" contains a pattern = (objects + a clipped rectangle) and was not opened with later builds of Inkscape. The pattern shows correctly at every zoom level in the 0.46 release.. The file "clipped_pattern046R_046Dev" is the same (mesh7_046R), then it was opened in the latest build, and a new similar clipped pattern was created. Both patterns disappear, totally or partially, depending on whether they are selected or not and on the zoom level. This seems to only happen to patterns with clipped objects.

lpe-knot and lpe path-dependent parameters
by jf barraud 16 Sep '08

16 Sep '08

Hi, I've just updated the lpe-knot, to let the user choose the orientation of each crossing independantly. Please test and report bugs. (yes there are some! I know one of them at least: it won't work for groups, and cannot be shared by different objects) Writing this, I came to an issue I don't know how to solve: Up to know, lpes are supposed to be black-boxes taking any path as input, and giving an other path as output. You can eventually tune the behaviour of the black box using some parameters, which are always attached to the blackbox, and do not depend on the input. Some effect however require the storage of path-specific information. lpe-knot is an exemple: for each crossing in the path, we need to attach an orientation. This has to be somehow stored in svg, but highly depends on the path. In particular, this information canot be shared by different paths :-( I guess other cases will show up. Did we already meet and solve this? Any clue about the way this could be handled? One way could be to systematically duplicate the lpe when trying to use it on several objects (for groups or when pasting). What do you think? Best regards, JF.

inkscape test-cases render-test
by the Adib 14 Sep '08

14 Sep '08

Hello Jasper, I have seen you did some scripts to automate the render-tests. As we need also some metrics about the other outputs (pdf, ps, ...) I extended your script. - integrated the functionality of tester.cpp into the python script - integrated an pdf render-test The difficulty of the other output formats is that you need a 3rd party application to convert your pdf-file into png. In this case I use ghostscript to do that. Actually I dont know how much false-positive or false-negative tests there are. The ghostscript converter runs fine on Linux. attached the extended script. HTH, Adib. ---

Want to write software to go between inkscape and plotter, but...
by stuart 14 Sep '08

14 Sep '08

Hi... I want to write some software to go between inkscape and a plotter. Specifically, I want to port graphtecprint from python to visual C++ or C# (which ever is easiest). But the more I find out about how M$ drivers are developed, the more I believe this is a lost cause! Actually, how (or why) dose anyone deal with this? It sounds like a horrible right of passage. And the M$ support for drivers (i.e. the WDK) is no where near as friendly as that for Visual C# or even the less supported Visual C++. Really, is there anyone here that could help (i.e. point me in the right direction). I have that feeling of possibly spending days trying to use some tool when the answer is a download away. ...thanks

Python extension behaviour
by ricardo lafuente 13 Sep '08

13 Sep '08

Dear all, Here's a call for help, as i'm totally stuck in this. I've been getting familiar with Python extensions and managed to whip up a couple. I ran into an issue, though: if i call an external command (using os.system('pwd'), for the simplest example), it executes it but doesn't go through the rest of the extension script, closing the window and returning to Inkscape. (i believe the same happens with exec statements) I thought it could be that the extension architecture doesn't allow for running external commands, but fact is that the extension actually executes it before borking. Am i missing something obvious? Thank you ricardo

Hi all, Some have already noticed: I've started removing obsolete files from the libnr directory.

Re commended reading and Netbeans configuration
by microUgly 10 Sep '08

10 Sep '08

Sorry to be the noob coming in blind asking the broadest questions. But I would like to try my hand at developing and need some guidance. Firstly, I haven't touched C++ code since before 2000 where I used Turbo C++ to write the simplest of cin cout programs. So whilst I haven't forgotten the concepts, the code I'm seeing is beyond me (I'm a PHP programmer). So can someone recommend some reading material? Preferable in print form. Secondly, I'm using NetBeans 6.5 to examine the code and at the moment it's hilighting a lot of errors because I haven't included the necessary folders for "Code Assistance". Should I include 'every' folder (and possibly sub folder) in /devlibs/include? Are there other folders that might help to include? Thirdly, do you use "btool" in place of when you would otherwise specify "make" in an IDE? I don't really understand "btool"--I assume it makes it easier to build Inkscape than running MinGW directly? I'm not sure if I should favor using the MinGW compiler when Netbeans has support for it, especially for debugging? I have created btool and build Inkscape successfully with it. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Recommended-reading-and-Netbeans-configuration-tp1941… Sent from the Inkscape - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

broken .wmf import in inkscape 0.46?
by jan falkenhagen 09 Sep '08

09 Sep '08

Hi again, another problem I'm having is that wmf import seems to be broken in inkscape 0.46 (both on CentOS 5.2 and F9). The same wmfs are working fine in Inkscape 0.45 (tested on CentOS 5.2). This is very annoying because wmf used to be a good file format for exchange with commercial Windows application, such as ChemDraw and others. You can find example files on my webserver (original wmf file and Inkscape 0.45/0.46 screenshots): http://lkenhagen.de/files/target_cdx.wmf http://lkenhagen.de/files/inkscape045.png http://lkenhagen.de/files/inkscape046.png Is there any fix/patch for this behaviour? -- best regards jan

inkscape, psfrag and type 1 fonts
by jan falkenhagen 08 Sep '08

08 Sep '08

Hi everybody, I got a strange problem with inkscape, psfrag and eps. The situation: I am using psfrag to replace text (with counters, but that doesn't really matter) from Inkscape-eps-figures during latex compiler runs. The problem is that it works only if the embed type 1 font option in Inkscapes eps-export is deselected (export text as paths is deselected too). But unfortunately then all the text appears as a sort of a typewriter font (so the installed type1-fonts are not used?). If I activate the embed fonts feature the replacements seem to be made for the .dvi that is produced by latex, but in the final .eps or .pdf the to-be-replaced text strings show up again. Any Ideas how this issue can be avoided? The system is a Fedora 9 Linux box with all the updates so far (Inkscape 0.46, Texlive 2007). best regards jan

Loss of precision for grids in millimeters
by Pajarico 08 Sep '08

08 Sep '08

Hi, I've a case of quirkiness: I set a grid in mm and the X spacing is set to 0.3761mm. On the canvas, there is a visible difference between 0.3761 and 0.376 but when i close and reopen the file the value is cut to 0.376mm. I thought there was some conversion of mm->px and that the stored value was in px, but opening the SVG in a text editor reveals the value stored is 0.376 and the unit is mm. So i wonder why it is possible to store a value in px with 4-decimal precision but not so in mm. For some reason is not possible to store 4 decimals for millimeters... I can set values with 4 decimals in px or " just right --i've another grid set to 0.0625in (1/16 of an inch) without problem. Is there a conversion somewhere -which I'm unaware of- cutting the last decimal? Should I resort to doing the conversion from mm to px to achieve more precision? Best regards.

Possible fix for color chooser bug, #257685
by Bob Jamison 08 Sep '08

08 Sep '08

I don't know if anyone has worked on #257685 yet. I gave it a quick look and maybe the fix is very simple. Apparently with Gtk2.13 and greater, Gtk is enforcing the page size and steps, which seems to be the root of the problem where the sliders can only max out to 245 rather than 255. If [0..255] were a document, 245 would be the bottom of the last page, so the adjustment widget is operating correctly. According to the Gtk notes, setting page sizes and steps to 0 for simple adjusters might be the best way to fix this. In src/widgets/sp-color-slider.cpp, line 332, this little modification seems to fix the problem: if (!adjustment) { adjustment = (GtkAdjustment *) gtk_adjustment_new (0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.01, 0.0, 0.0); } //in case of existing adjustment gtk_adjustment_set_page_increment(adjustment, 0.0); gtk_adjustment_set_page_size(adjustment, 0.0); Maybe someone with knowledge of the older SP-vintage widgets can decide if this is a valid fix or is merely fixing the symptom? I'd rather not commit with insufficient knowledge of how this thing works. bob (ishmal)

It works fine as is, but when I replace the line test_function(t); with test_function(false) there is a runtime crash. However, even when compiling with -Wall there is no warning whatsoever. Interestingly, when I replace false with true in the function call, the code doesn't compile any more. But I'd think that false is just as well recognized as a boolean value as true is.

Inkscape Releases
by Josh Andler 07 Sep '08

07 Sep '08

Hey All! Since I was a release warden for 0.46 and will be the one moving forward for 0.47 as well I'd like to touch base. First, it seems like patches intended for 0.46.1 have died down submission-wise. I plan on beginning to get caught up on Launchpad with regard to those in an effort to move things forward with it. Does anyone have any requests or things to comment on with this? Second, is it wrong to assume that we won't be shooting for 0.47 this year? I'm definitely not pushing for it. I'd rather see everything get nicely polished... besides I almost never use release versions except for bug testing. ;) Cheers, Josh

Max value for colors < 255

Hi, I have GTK+ 2.13.6, and had problems compiling Inkscape 0.46, until I found this patch http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15113774/gtk-clist.patch. Inkscape compiled pretty well, but now the color values are gone wild :-P I can't raise any of the color components more than 245. Even the default colors (in the color bar) are semi transparents (the alpha channel is at 245). I can write the HTML color "FF0000FF", and then the drawing turns solid red. But in the "fill and border" pannel, the values are at 245 (for red and alpha). If I try to change one of those values, they return to theier "correct" values (254), the image turns transparent again, and the HTML color shows "F50000F5". Here is a screenshot: http://drmad.org/inkscape-245-problem.png I've work with Inkscape 0.46 with a older GTK version without any problem.

Re: [Inkscape-devel] "Live Pen" Feature

Microsoft Expression uses a profile shape method that is just like what Bulia suggested. The width equals the path length and the nodes along the profile shape equal the distance away from the centerline for the brush object's width. The LPE could be given three pieces of information... bottom most item is the stroke path, then brush object and then the profile path. If no profile path is selected, then the brush object is drawn along the stroke path without any change in brush width. ----- Original Message ---- Message: 2 Date: Wed, 03 Sep 2008 20:15:14 +0200 From: Maximilian Albert <Anhalter42@...173...> Subject: Re: [Inkscape-devel] "Live Pen" Feature Bounty To: bulia byak <buliabyak@...400...> Cc: inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net, J.B.C.Engelen@...1578...

Re: [Inkscape-devel] "Live Pen" Feature
by Tony Vigil 03 Sep '08

Could something like Microsoft's Expression live vector brush effects be created for Inkscape's LPE? If you have not seen what it does, Expression allows you to create a path and stroke the path using another object where the width of the stroke along the path is based on an contour path (think XY chart) where the width (X) is the location along the path to be stroked and the height (Y) is the width of the stroke at the point along the path. Ideally, the stroke object could be made up of multiple paths with various characteristics. For instance, you could create a stroke object that mimics a water color brush stroke. - Tony

question regarding wishblade robocraft support...
by stuart 03 Sep '08

03 Sep '08

Sorry for posting here if the user list if better. And sorry about the subject if it has been talked about before. I couldn't get sourceforge to add me to the inkscape user mail list and sourceforge was timing out on all my archive searches with no results. --- I remember reading that there was a patch or something to inkscape to support wishblade and robocraft users. Has that been integrated into the inkscape application? Is that what the DXF is all about? Wishblade users can not use DXF directly (needing the robocraft software to import DXF and change it to some sort of native (and maybe proprietary) GSD). Is there a way to get inkscape to save images in GSD in order to simplify the process? Ideally, I would prefer to skip bringing up the wishblade application. In my set up, I do all my work in linux (GIMP/INKSCAPE) and only the plotting in Windows. If I could do everything in linux it would simplify the flow of work greatly. Has anyone figured out how the craftrobo is communicated to in order to use it with common open source linux plotting software? Better yet, has anyone figured out how the wishblade has been crippled in order to use it with common open source linux plotting software? ...thanks

sorting out PS/EPS/PDF export mess
by bulia byak 03 Sep '08

03 Sep '08

It's always bad when the UI offers two ways to do the same thing without really explaining what's the difference. It's equally bad when UI uses some meaningless techno jargon such as "cairo" :) Unfortunately 0.46 was released still in the middle of a transition period which made both these evils inevitable. Now that we're in 0.47, however, I would like to address this issue by switching all of PS, EPS, and PDF output to cairo, removing the builtin Inkscape exporter, and purging the mentions of "cairo" from the UI. As a matter of fact, this has already partially happened (not sure who did this). Right now both PS export options work via cairo and produce identical output. The Inkscape-native PDF export is nowhere to be seen. The only exporter which still uses native code is EPS. However, since 1.5.2 cairo can produce EPS files too, so this can all be done in one place now (closng several EPS export bugs along the way). The only downside is that it will require cairo >= 1.5.2, is everyone OK with that? By the way, the latest cairo 1.5.12 finally fixes the bug where zooming in too closely in Outline mode produced messy broken lines. Now everything is neat and clean. Upgrade is recommended. -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

All across source code it is called an LPE tool, which probably means it's supposed to do editing of LPE params on canvas or draw LPE. It does both, but is restricted to geometric constructions only (and not all of them), which is why it probably has a "Create geometry constructions" tooltip. So the question is conceptual: is it supposed to do more than it does now and cover all possible LPEs or is it only geometry constructions related? Alexandre

new tool - lattice deformation
by ryrych＠...400... 01 Sep '08

01 Sep '08

hi! In latest revisions a new LPE effect appeared - Lattice deformation. But it hasn't been working properly these days. I propose to create a new tool - exactly Lattice deformation. This tool (idea) is in Adobe Photoshop. This tool would be very helpful. Currently we can bend a shape in a few way, but only in one direction. This tool would enable to bend the shape in many directions. Have a look at my image: http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/8486/siatkasn2.png I want to show a shape which is bent from top and bottom but I couldn't do it in Inkscape but I hope you know what I talking about - plaese see Everest logo: http://www.lackenbach.com/Images/Newsletter2000/Everlast.gif What do you thing about it? regards, Wojciech RRH Ryrych ps. sorry for my English

We narrowed it down to only happening when -O2 was used with the build, but not -O0. In other words it was only showing up with optimizations on. Maybe that will give someone a hint for reproducing and/or fixing.

GSoC mentor (Ted Gould) not responding!
by Jasper van de Gronde 31 Aug '08

31 Aug '08

I sent my mentor (Ted Gould) two reminders for filling in the final mentor evaluation (one on Aug. 22 and one last friday) and it seems he hasn't started the evaluation yet. And I also haven't heard from him. I did get a reply to a (much) earlier message on the 24th stating that he had some e-mail trouble. So I suspect that he might simply not have received the reminders. Is there anyone who can contact him directly? Or perhaps the project administrator can do something? Jasper van de Gronde

Filters Effects "proposal"
by Xavier Araque A.|Rendergraf 29 Aug '08

29 Aug '08

Greetings. I am making use of the dynamic filters in Inkscape are very good. When I am working with this tool you accustom I am confused and I believe that it would be necessary to identify the aim of each effect, in my case I have put a mark of black color in the end, also is possible to put icons to hide these effects, to block and to erase. Here I leave an image them of the idea that I can give. http://img26.picoodle.com/data/img26/3/8/29/f_propuestam_b653b85.png I even believe that groups can be done of filters, but that idea will be more ahead.

Font-related crash with chinese environment (#261475)
by Luca Bruno 28 Aug '08

28 Aug '08

Hi, a serious bug was reported in debian, as inkscape is almost unusable in chinese environments (http://bugs.debian.org/487623). Forwarded to our bugtracker, the crash seems to be triggered by a particular translation in the open file dialog, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/261475 but happens in other situations too and is related to font handling. I've made a patch to prevent the crash, but I wasn't able to find what's the real issue between pango and inkscape with LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.UTF-8. Some more details and the actual patch are available in the bug report. I'll commit the patch in a few days, just because I'd like someone else more familiar with libnrtype/Font* code to inspect what's really going wrong there instead of just fixing symptoms... So please have a look at it ;) Cheers, Luca -- .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** | Luca Bruno (kaeso) : :' : The Universal O.S. | lucab (AT) debian.org `. `'` | GPG Key ID: 3BFB9FB3 `- http://www.debian.org | Debian GNU/Linux Developer

Status: Inkscape Spell Checking
by Jason Beaudoin 27 Aug '08

27 Aug '08

Hiya! I have been using inkscape more and more over the last year, and appreciate the fine work you all have done. Thank you. I'd like to join in on the fun, and have found myself really craving spell checking support in inkscape. I have poked around sourceforge, archives, and summer of code project information, and it appears that some work on this has been done, but it isn't complete. So my question: what is the state of spell checking support (wrt to development), and where do we need to take this to make it as functional as one would expect? I'm willing and interested to step up to this work. regards, ~Jason

yes, we can start a thread there. But we should keep updating people here at inkscape-devel about what we are planning for the contest. I would pay $150 for half of the first prize if we decide that it will be a vinyl cutter. Anyway, I heard that maybe mozilla guys still didnt answer maybe because there is a mozilla meeting this week and everybody may be busy attending speaks and meeting mozilla people in person. Maybe we should wait to see whether we get some Mozilla funding after the event is over and this guys go back to "processing e-mail inbox" mode.

show/hide other layers like in GIMP
by RRH 26 Aug '08

26 Aug '08

Hi all! Currently in SVN wersion a new feature concererning the layer menu appeared. Namely: show/hide show/hide other layers. In my opinion this is a half success. Layer menu should have features like in GIMP and its comfort. Sometimes I have to switch off visibility of great numer of layers. This is not comfortable doing it by hand. In GIMP using Shift key we have opportunity to hide/show layers. Shouldn't it be in Inkscape? One combination: Shift+click on eye icon, shows/hides others; Shift+click on padlock icon, locks/unlocks other layers. None menu is needed. I'd love to see this feature soon, but this is opinion only a humble Inkscape user. :) What's your view? regards, Wojciech (Voytech) Ryrych from Poland ps. sorry for my English

Hi guys, Been battling with trying to create an output extension today, and am having real trouble with the script I'm trying to call not having parameters that I've got in the command bit of the inx being passed to it. my inx has the following <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <inkscape-extension xmlns=" http://www.inkscape.org/namespace/inkscape/extension"> <_name>gmail file storage</_name> <id>org.ekips.output.gml</id> <dependency type="extension">org.inkscape.output.svg.inkscape</dependency> <dependency type="executable" location="extensions">gecp_ink.py</dependency> <output> <extension>.svg</extension> <mimetype>image/svg</mimetype> <_filetypename>Write svg to a gmail account(*.svg)</_filetypename> <_filetypetooltip>Export to a gmail account</_filetypetooltip> <dataloss>false</dataloss> </output> <script> <command reldir="extensions" interpreter="python">gecp_ink.py username:Inkscape_Files password</command> </script> </inkscape-extension> The script expects the username as arg 1, password as 2 and the filename as 3. all its getting is the temp filename. Anyone got any ideas why? Also any suggestions for asking for a user/pass combo in a secure way? Cheers John

bug in the layer menu
by RRH 24 Aug '08

24 Aug '08

hi guys! First, I want to apologize for my English. I'll try to explain everyting clearly. So, some time ago, I found a bug. I'll describe it now. Please repeat with me. Create a new layer without typing a name and then click add. figure 01: http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/8720/01cz8.jpg Left mouse button on layer name (probably, the name will be called layer1) and call it anyhow. I called it "test". Please note that the name in the status bar still remains called layerX, not "test". figure 02: http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/7800/02bh2.jpg Next click on eye or padlock icon and note that name of the layer returned to layer10 (in my case). This won't happen if we name layer typing in window dialog. I've been testing it in the past but didn't know where to notify it. Also my language is a barrier so please forgive me for that. cheers!

Code duplication
by Maximilian Albert 18 Aug '08

18 Aug '08

Hi all, there is a large chunk of code (~ 130 lines) that is essentially duplicated in both dyna-draw-context.cpp and eraser-context.cpp, namely the function fit_and_split(). The two versions only really differ in a few lines, but they also contains a couple of #ifdef switches that are used for debugging. The problem is that these are also dependent on the file (to wit, #ifdef ERASER_VERBOSE and #ifdef DYNA_DRAW_VERBOSE). I believe it would make sense to melt these two functions together, but how can this be done while at the same time respecting the #ifdefs? Is there a kind of #or directive? Max P.S.: It just occurred to me that the two contexts might share other code, too (although I haven't checked). Perhaps they could even be merged to a larger extent.

F9 + KDE 4.0 (and 4.1) + Inkscape (missing color picker widgets)
by Michael Park 17 Aug '08

17 Aug '08

Hello, My apologies if I'm asking in the wrong place (this seemed like it might be a bug, so I thought I'd try here). So I installed inkscape-0.46-2.fc9.x86_64, and it's exhibiting unexpected behaviour in the color-picking widgets (in the Fill + Stroke dialog). Basically, they're not displaying any color: http://imagebin.org/24367 (RGB) http://imagebin.org/24368 (HSL) http://imagebin.org/24369 (CMYK) The 'Wheel' color picker, however, seems just fine. Is there a specific package dependency that I need to reinstall to get these color pickers to work (this is in Fedora 9). I also tried compiling from http://inkscape.modevia.com/svn-snap/inkscape-19664.tar.bz2 (build 19666 didn't seem to compile), but got the same result with the color pickers. Can someone help point me in the right direction to solving this? Thanks. --Mike

Speaking of devlibs... I just committed Cairo 1.7.4 to devlibs, along with Pixman 0.11.8. I know that it is an unstable version, but we probably need to experiment with this one for development purposes, since it has user font support and other text improvements. I did test it. I would say that it ran fine but it didn't. It had a crashing bug in win32_surface code, but Adrianj magnanimously fixed it immediately and it runs great now. Thanks!

Elimination of SP_ACTIVE_DESKTOP
by Maximilian Albert 15 Aug '08

15 Aug '08

Hi, during a couple of boring compilation phases I recently decided to use my multitasking capabilities :) to eliminate quite a few instances of SP_ACTIVE_DESKTOP. These eliminations should be harmless because they mainly involved passing in the desktop variable from the caller. Anyway, please keep the change in mind and report any bugs this might nonetheless have introduced. E.g., I encountered one place in widgets/toolbox.cpp where the obvious change broke things (it's not committed yet; I'll have to investigate this further since it looks like there is bug hidden somewhere else). Since I wanted the changes to be safe I didn't touch the floating dialogs stuff. It's probably better if someone with more knowledge in this area (Gustav?) tackles this. Max

TikZ and PGF exporter
by Kjell Magne Fauske 15 Aug '08

15 Aug '08

Hello everyone, For some time now I have been working on an Inkscape extension for exporting from SVG to TikZ/PGF format for use with LaTeX. A PGF exporter has been requested before[1], but as far as I can see no one has worked on this yet. The extension is not feature complete yet, but the code is available at: http://code.google.com/p/inkscape2tikz/ If someone are working on a TikZ/PGF exporter I would like to know. Maybe we can join forces. This is my first extension, so I would appreciate any comments. It is currently implemented as an effect to allow selecting which curves to export and allow clipboard export. I should probably also provide it as an exporter as well. Regards, Kjell Magne Fauske www.fauskes.net [1] http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-Google-Summer-of-Code-Project-Idea%3A-PGF-Expor…

What parts of the code should be tested?
by Jasper van de Gronde 14 Aug '08

14 Aug '08

As part of my GSoC project I'm also compiling a list of (currently untested) parts of the code that could definitely use a few (unit) tests. This list will include a few of my personal favourites, and I'm working with gcov and svn logs to determine some "objectively" interesting parts of the code. Now my question to you is: What parts of the code do you consider to be in urgent need of testing? Obviously the most straightforward answer is "all", but - again obviously - that is also the least interesting answer :)

Path representation
by unknown＠example.com 14 Aug '08

14 Aug '08

Hi all, I've been in a little discussion with Jasper and he has found a problem with the new path representation. A story about what now works, and what now does not work. Please check what I state here. It is how I have understood the SVG standard, but I could well be wrong. On purpose, Jasper and I discussed obscure paths. == Explicit closing line segment == A: "M 0,0 L 1,1 z" B: "M 0,0 L 1,1 L 0,0 z" These two paths are not identical in SVG. When adding midpoint markers, path A will not have a marker at (0,0), but path B will. Inkscape 0.46 did not distinguish between these two paths. 0.47 does distinguish them, however after nodetool editing, path A is converted to path B. I think this is a bug and it is better to always output path A after nodetool editing. It will be harder to remember whether to explicitly state the closing segment without showing multiple nodes on-canvas etc... == Line segment without moveto after closing path == C: "M x1,y1 ... z L x2,y2" D: "M x1,y1 ... z M x1,y1 L x2,y2" These paths are also not identical. I think this has to do with the stroke of a path being continued for path C after the closing "z" ; instead for path D, a new stroke is started after "z". Inkscape 0.47 is not able to represent the difference between these two paths, converting path C to path D. Unfortunately, 2geom's path representation (at the moment) is not able to represent path C. I can try to change things, but it will be an ugly hack probably... == Only moveto's in a path == E: "M 0,0 M 1,1 M 2,3" Such a path is used for paths where only markers should be shown, without stroking the rest of the path. Inkscape 0.46 discards this path data; 0.47 correctly handles this kind of path. Regards, Johan

Hi, I'm going to write a tutorial for the calligraphy tool I implemented in Karbon, given that the tutorial of Inkscape is done very well and the tool is very similar I thought it would be silly to rewrite it from scratch. It isn't too clear under which license the tutorial is licensed so some clarification would be greatly appreciated. The xml file generating the tutorial contains the line: <!-- Copyright (C) 2004-6 bulia byak, buliabyak@...859... and josh andler, scislac@...1050...> The parent directory also contains a COPYING file with the GPL, my best guess is thus that that's the license of the tutorial, but I would like a confirmation. Thanks! - fela

Hi, The trick, of course, is having volunteers to create the builds. Often I have considered halting the win32 builds. :-) There are some almost nightly binreloc-enabled Linux builds here: http://inkscape.modevia.com/btool/?C=M;O=D But since they are purely for testing, they do not provide the required library dependencies. People can download their own. Well, everything on that site is for testing (not for a casual user), so they are a bit more effort than a regular install. bob -----Original Message----- >From: Jiri Klement <jiri.klement@...400...> >Sent: Aug 12, 2008 2:41 PM >To: inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net >Subject: [Inkscape-devel] Missing nightly builds for Linux&MacOS > >Hi, > >I've found a little error in inkscape website.

How to interactively replace control widgets in toolbars?
by Maximilian Albert 13 Aug '08

13 Aug '08

Hi all, I'd like to implement a toolbar which is comprised of various subtools. These subtools are represented by icons in the left half of the toolbar. Depending on the currently active subtool I want to display certain control widgets in the right half. How can I interactively replace these control widgets when the user switches subtools? Another question: While certainly there should be at most one subtool active at each time, there are situations when I want none of them to be active. If I understand correctly, EgeSelectOneAction is not the right thing for my purpose because it always requires exactly one option to be active. Is there another kind of action which I can use or do I need to implement my own? Many thanks for your help, Max P.S.: Sorry for cc'ing you directly, Jon, but Bulia said that you might know the anser. :)

Also, apparently OSX builds can only be made on an OSX box. How nice it would be if someone could find a box for us to set up for nightly trunk OSX builds.

Will the implicit casting work correctly for those too? Maybe I should just try that myself; there are quite some snapping calls requiring Geom::Point& (without being const). It would be great if I could just pass a NR::Point. So far I've used dummy variables for that. It's quite cumbersome indeed to transfer everything to 2geom. Last weekend I had a shot at the snapping code, but I have caused some regressions which need to be fixed first. I guess Johan could still use some additional hands. Regards, Diederik

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Spray tool discussion

Here is the example showing how limits+randomness work: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Image:Spray-tool-attributes01.png I took my ideas and ideas from Steren. This hopefully resolves my issue with the concept of "randomness" which wasn't clear to me exactly how it should act (even when I was convinced that I wanted such parameter). The mechanics for the rest of attributes (S, L and O) and dimensions (rotation and scale) is exactly the same. Note that when randomness is set to 0, the value is always |(max-min)|/2 (it's an absolute value for cases where min>max). I've to revamp a bit the toolbar for this tool, since with these changes some of the buttons can be scrapped (like scattering radius). It lacks a way to select an original for spraying it. I thought about a button "pick original" in the main toolbar. When pressed the cursor changes to the normal arrow to click on an object/group and from then on that's the original (in clone mode all of the clones are linked to it, in the other two modes the object is just used for spraying but not linked to the sprayed items). Any (better) ideas? Another issue: clones inherit attributes so is not possible to set these parameters. Un less there is a way to make clones where the only feature inherited is the shape. Regards.

mass conversion to Geom::Point
by unknown＠example.com 11 Aug '08

11 Aug '08

Hi all, I just started mass converting to Geom::Point, but then it struck me that this will conflict with many changes other people are creating. So I think it is best not to mass convert. It is the same with whitespace things. Let me know what you all think. NR::Point contains cast methods, so Geom::Point and NR::Point are interchangeable in 90% of the cases. It would help a lot if you'd just change NR::Point to Geom::Point in a line you are editing. Thanks! Johan

Test suite directory structure
by Jasper van de Gronde 11 Aug '08

11 Aug '08

I've been talking to Johan about the directory structure used by the rendering tests (in gsoc-testsuite/tester/testcases). The following directories currently exist: - basic: a few tests that test Inkscape's SVG rendering capabilities (four of them are really quite "basic", the fifth is perhaps not very "basic") - bugs: some tests from bug reports - complex: currently just an LPE test - svgtestsuite-1.1: a selection of tests from the W3C SVG test suite If anyone has any suggestions for restructuring basic/complex, that would be great, they seem a bit awkward. The original idea was that basic just tests general SVG features.

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Spray tool discussion
by Pajarico 10 Aug '08

10 Aug '08

Hi again. I just uploaded the GUI for the advanced options: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Image:Spray-tool-ui02.png Is a bit over the top and some of the combinations may not have a lot of sense in the end. Some explaining: - The checkboxes allow the change of the attributes. Is one is not activated it means the sprayed items will have that feature the same as the original, unaltered. In the case of spacing (which is not an attribute) I don't know how this should work. - Scale allows any value, positive or negative, as this will allow the motif to be bigger or smaller than original. - Rotation (and Hue) are always positive and the min can be higher than the max. Why you ask? because if this is not allowed, some configurations will be unavailable. If you want items to be rotated between 15-345º (a margin of 330º), you would use min=15º and max=345º. But what if you want them rotated on the other sector (345-15º=30º)? In that case you would use min=345º and max=15º. - X and Y spacing are there but I'm not sure of what units to use. Should it be a % of the stroke width on each axis? What behavior do people expect for spacing? I can't make my mind right now. - The color variation is activated independently for the stroke/fill for each HLSO attribute. With the intention of making the color selection easier and faster, I've placed two color swatches (on the min and max columns) so the user can call the color selector and pick the color or insert values manually. Again, for the same reasons, the min value can be higher than the max. - I'm not exactly sure how "use lightness from background" and "tablet pressure" does interact with the rest of the settings. My idea is that these two should vary the attribute between the set limits. But randomness doesn't make much sense when using a tablet or the lightness since you would want that attribute to be controlled and not random. Maybe the Randomness spinbox should be deactivated when "use lightness..." or "tablet" are checked. Regards. PS: I think my HD is dying :(

Inconsistency of rotate/flip buttons behaviour
by Mattias 10 Aug '08

10 Aug '08

The rotate left/right and flip horizontal/vertical buttons are so close to each other on toolbar but behave different on multiple selected objects. When selected multiple objects and rotating, all objects rotate around their centre. To have them rotate as one, you first have to group them, rotate, ungroup. When flipping multiple selected objects, they already flip as group and see no option to flip these by themselves. I think these should behave similar. Most of other programs treat selection as group, and this is what I first expected of Inkscape. But considering the fact that grouping and rotating is quite easy, so having these actions both per object would make these actions more general and therefore more useful. And to mention, I would only file a bug, no actual coding yet, Inkscape codebase is a lot like Chinese for me (refering to something ultimately complex). Also, thanks for this good program Mattias

POVRay and JavaFX output
by Bob Jamison 09 Aug '08

09 Aug '08

Although I really didn't want to do more work on those two outputs, I was curious how 2geom's transforms worked, so I spent the day updating POV and JavaFX output. Ok, I think that -this time- I am finished with the javafx stuff, and I'll let someone take it from here. Here is how our svg Tiger renders in javafx: http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32_inkscape_org/jfxdump.png I tested the POV output on POVRay 3.7a, and it seems to work fine. It is recoded to be recursive rather than iterative. Some POV users needed it to preserve groups, so this should help. bob

Click it to toggle > them on, use what you need, click to toggle > off if you need the work space. Or, click to toggle on, > toggle off automatically on mouse-exit from the toolbar > (or entry onto the canvas). Say, I think that's a splendid idea! Most tool options can be grouped into sets: Pencil tool options include: - LPE (being implemented) - line style + marker style (would be handy for many) Text tool options include: - kerning (not yet implemented, many people want it) - buttons for flow into shape or text along path + padding (non-existing either) - and perhaps toggling between "simple" style options and advanced text options So basically, there could be some visibility buttons on the side for you to toggle what you want visible and what you don't. Apart from that, there could be an option for tool options to appear on two rows instead of one if it ever gets crowded.

Spray tool discussion
by Pajarico 08 Aug '08

08 Aug '08

Hi, I've just started to write a blueprint for a Spray tool. You can find it here: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/SpecSprayTool I need input on the following topics: 1) I propose that 3 parameters can be controlled (scaling, rotation and color). Every parameter has limits and a randomness to fine tune how the variation works. I need to know your thoughts about this and any nuances that might appear while coding, or on the UI... which leads me to the second question. 2) Having so many boxes and buttons on a toolbar is going to take a lot of space. I suggest to have the settings placed like in the UI example and where 'Other options...' is put another button that unrolls a window with the variations controls (check boxes for activating scaling, rotation and color variations, limits and randomness). Any other viable suggestion with the purpose of reducing clutter will be welcomed ;) 3) I've put the use 'lightness of background' as an available option but I'm not sure what should affect exactly: width? scattering? Ideally, I would like to see that every parameter (width, scattering, scaling, rotation and color) could be altered by this switch independently (I'm going to aim high ;): and also by the tablet pressure). 4) This tool uses two radiuses: outer one is the Scatter radius, it's the maximum area in which the tool has effect. Inner one is the Width radius, it's the are in which most of the items are sprayed. I made the mockup this way but now I dislike it a bit. I think is more intuitive to adjust the maximum affected area with the Width parameter, and let the Scatter radius be a % of it but going towards the center (i .e.: always Width radius>Scatter radius). Tell me what you think of this behavior. I think that's was all. Regards.

python: example in wiki
by Daniel Hornung 07 Aug '08

07 Aug '08

Hello, I hope this list is the correct one for this kind of question: Has anyone managed to get http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/PythonEffectTutorial to work without major changes? It failed for me both on a gentoo system and on a pretty vanilla Ubuntu 8.04 box. I don't know if I will find the time to edit the wiki page according to the current lxml behaviour, but I might give it a try. Additionally Ishmal(I think) said on irc/jabber that lxml might not be used in the future anymore anyway. Now for the list of problems I encountered: * Simply making the file executable and putting it into ~/.inkscape/extensions/ is not sufficient, it won't find inkex there, but no problem, simply add import sys sys.path.append('/usr/share/inkscape/extensions') # or another path, as appropriate for your installation to the top of it. A minor problem. * All the getElementsByTagName, getAttribute, createElement,... methods are unknown to lxml, at least in the versions here (1.3.6). Inkscape returns the python error message ending with: File "/home/dhornun/.inkscape/extensions/helloworld.py", line 32, in effect svg = self.document.getElementsByTagName('svg')[0] AttributeError: 'etree._ElementTree' object has no attribute 'getElementsByTagName' If this is not a problem on the distributions' side, those can probably be fixed by adapting the code to reflect lxml's current API.

NEW: Paraxial mode in pen tool
by Maximilian Albert 06 Aug '08

06 Aug '08

Hi, apart from the recent "zigzag" mode there is now a "paraxial" mode in pen tool. In this mode, the user can only create straight line segments that are parallel to one of the coordinate axes. Normally, each line segment is drawn perpendicular to the previous one. The direction of the line segment being drawn can be toggled with Shift. When clicking on the start anchor, the path is closed with an L-shaped segment (the direction of which can also be flipped with Shift). Let me know if you have any issues with it. [1] Max [1] Known bugs: When creating the initial segment with Shift, the second segment is parallel to the first one instead of perpendicular to it (although all subsequent ones get drawn correctly). Moreover, when closing a path the final segment is sometimes drawn slightly slanted.

A large part of the W3C test suite, stripped of all its text elements is now available as rendering tests in SVN. It does not include anything that relies solely on text, animation or scripting (at least I've tried to make sure it doesn't). Compared to the latest test suite compliance results on the Wiki there either have been quite a few regressions or I've been more strict. In any case, there are plenty of failure cases (63 out of 151). See http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/TestingInkscape for information on running the tests.

Memory leaks?

Hi all, 0.46 on Hardy and XP: * Opening and closing a document over and over seem to increase the memory usage. * Exporting an SVG document to PNG increases the memory usage for each export.

I checked the Inkview code where they use delete, but seem to get a number of asserts from the gc-code. Are these known issues or am I missing something here? Best regards, /Henrik

Positioning of curves (and only curves!) differs from reference
by Jasper van de Gronde 05 Aug '08

05 Aug '08

While looking the W3C test suite I found that in Inkscape rendered versions of the files all curves seem to be (very) slightly offset compared to the reference image. And strangely enough this does not seem to hold for straight lines... The first few color tests (with all the circles) show this behaviour for example, and especially color-prop-01-b is interesting as it shows both curves and lines. Can anyone confirm this? Any ideas on why this is so? And who is right?

Patches need reviewing

One of them required a (for me) rather large patch that I think needs reviewing: Bug 249445 https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/249445 I also submitted a quickie tonight on Bug 254850 https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/254850 if anyone can commit that. Finally, I opened Bug 254857 https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/254857 for which I need some UI guru to take a look at. I think it should be possible (and easy and intuitive!) for the user to add a <title> element to the root <svg> in Inkscape (as per SVG spec), but I'm not sure the best way to do this in the UI (perhaps replace File > Document Metadata > Title?). I'd almost want to suggest that this be a mandatory step before saving, but I don't know how user-friendly that would be. Thanks, Jeff

But, however it would take expertise with Windows and writing IE plugins. We have few enough windows developers as is so as of right now we will probably not be able do this.

Compiling Inkscape from source
by Silveira Neto 04 Aug '08

04 Aug '08

I already can compile the Inskcape successfully in Ubuntu 8.04 by Apt. Now I need to compile it directly from sources in order to try to help the new JavaFX output that Bob Jamison developed. I already took a look at Compiling Inkscape<http://www.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/CompilingInkscape>and Compiling Inkscape at Ubuntu <http://www.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/CompilingUbuntu>at documentation. The end of ./configure output is like: > configure: error: Package requirements (gdkmm-2.4 glibmm-2.4 gtkmm-2.4 >= > 2.10.0 gtk+-2.0 libxml-2.0 >= 2.6.11 libxslt >= 1.0.15 cairo sigc++-2.0 > >= 2.0.12 gtkspell-2.0 gthread-2.0 >= 2.0 libpng >= 1.2 gsl) were not met: > > No package 'gsl' found > > Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you > installed software in a non-standard prefix. > I tried export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig and also export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/share/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig, but both gave me the same output with ./configure.

PS and PDF: Print/Save As
by Tavmjong Bah 04 Aug '08

04 Aug '08

Hi, I have been trying to understand Inkscape's PS and PDF output with v0.46. It is very confusing so I thought I would summarize what I have found in a table. I tested the various ways to get PS and PDF output with: http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/images/SVG_TESTS/svg_test.svg . Save As Print Cairo Vector Raster# PS PS% PDF PS PDF PS PDF Patterns No Wrong No Wrong Wrong Yes Yes Clipping No Wrong No Wrong Wrong Yes Yes Masking No No No No No Yes Yes Transparency No Yes Yes* Yes Yes Yes Yes Dashed Lines Yes Wrong Yes Wrong Wrong Yes Yes Gradient on Stroke No Yes Yes* Yes Yes Yes Yes # Only at 72 dpi regardless of DPI setting. % Crashes when run from window manager but not command line. * Displays OK in Acroread, not with Evince 0.8.2. The "Save As" and "Print" PDF use two different Cairo routines. What is the history of this? It seems to be a bit of a waste of effort. Tav

Using ${env.DEVLIBS_PATH} in build.xml?
by Jasper van de Gronde 04 Aug '08

04 Aug '08

Is there something against using ${env.DEVLIBS_PATH} as the path to devlibs in build.xml? This way the path only needs to be set in mingwenv.bat (which is already done anyway) and it wouldn't have to be changed back each time I (or anyone else who has devlibs elsewhere) modifies build.xml.

Patterns: display of unit cell
by unknown＠example.com 02 Aug '08

02 Aug '08

Hi all, The knots for a pattern applied to a shape used to be scaled by 0.5, such that the displayed knots where on the border of a quarter unit cell. I have removed this as I found it confusing and awkward now with the snapping of those points while trying to get a good checkerbord fill at the grid's spacing. Perhaps someone can tell me why this factor was put in? Thanks, Johan

Re: [Inkscape-devel] [Inkscape-user] Snap to grid when pasting

I might just as well create something similar again, but I'm not sure how it should work. Given an object with lots of nodes, which node should snap to the grid? If all nodes were already aligned to the grid when copying, then while pasting snapping any node to the grid will do. But this will not be true in general and there will be nodes both on- and off-grid. Besides, we can now have multiple grids simultaneously, which one should we use? If we know where the clipboard data was originally located (I don't know if that information is stored), then we might paste at a multiple of the grid pitch (strictly spoken: that is not snapping, but it will achieve what you're looking for). Comments anyone? Diederik

Adding a download link to the website
by John Faith 01 Aug '08

01 Aug '08

Hello, I'd like to add a 0.46 OS X 10.3 download link to the website. I've checked out inkscape_web and know which files to edit, but after reading http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/WebsiteEditing I wanted to make sure I edit inkscape_web/download/ files. properly to keep the encoding correct. If I simply use 'vi' which is configured to support multi-byte characters, is that sufficient to keep these files happy? Also, It looks like I can simply add links to the non-English files inkscape_web/download/download-*.inc, but if I should avoid those, what is the usual procedure for requesting web page translations? Thanks! , John

'Lines only' mode in pen tool
by Maximilian Albert 01 Aug '08

01 Aug '08

Hi all, I seem to remember a few recent requests for a "lines only" mode in pen tool (can't find the related emails or bug reports offhand). [1] For my LPE work I had implemented this a short while ago anyway (if for different reasons), but so far it has only been used internally. Now I added a new button to the pen toolbar to make it publicly available. You may want to give it a try and see if it is useful. All it does is prevent you from making curves: each mouse click automatically addes a new line segment, regardless if you are dragging or not. Personally, I'm not too convinced that it's of great value but other people may have different opinions. If it turns out to be useless, feel free to ditch it again. :) If you want to keep it, you are welcome to design a more beautiful icon and/or find better descriptions, too.;-) Max [1] This one seems to be along these lines, too, but it's very unspecific: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/253166

Suggestion, plugin for exporting to JavaFX
by Silveira Neto 01 Aug '08

01 Aug '08

Hi, that's my first message for this list, so let me introduce myself. My name is Silveira Neto, I'm a brazilian student, last semester in computer science. I'd like to say that I'm a happy Inkscape user, pleased to see all improvements made recently. I'm also a developer that uses a new, free and open technology for creating RIA (Rich Internet Applications) called JavaFX. If someone is interested in know more about JavaFX, you can see more here <http://javafx.com/>, here<http://www.sun.com/software/javafx/index.jsp>or here <https://openjfx.dev.java.net/>. JavaFX is heavily graphicaly based and it's elements resembles much SVG elements. In fact, the main creator of JavaFX created a tool<http://blogs.sun.com/chrisoliver/entry/javafx_svg_translator_preview>that translates SVG to JavaFX. I'd like to suggest a plugin for exporting Inkscape drawings to JavaFX, so developers could draw with Inkscape, export and program the logic with JavaFX. That extension just would have to export the drawing to a raw text .jfx file. The syntax is quite simple<https://openjfx.dev.java.net/learning.html>and I can help with it. I guess that Inkscape extensions are made in Python, right? I'd like to know where I can find more documentation about writing Inkscape extensions, I know a little bit of Python, I could try it. As JavaFX and SVG graphical entities are similar (like shapes, paints, gradientes, paths, etc) you guys think that is possible to make such plugin for Inkscape? Someone would be interested in help me? Thanks. -- ------- silveiraneto.net eupodiatamatando.com

I tried that pre-made filter and for drop-shadows something like that is what i was looking for.The problem is that currently, filters are hard to edit and a tool serving as front end would be much better. I think the same would apply for the rest of proposed "LPEs". Your thoughts? Johan: > I thought up a solution that unfortunately does not work: > - clone original path and apply LPE to the clone > - adjust the style of the clone to whatever you want. > I checked but unfortunately this does not work, because the original > path's style overrides the clones' style :( A filter would avoid the need for clones/copies. So i think is the way to go. Aside from this, I have added some examples of the results I would like to see for BEVEL tool (i won't call it LPE anymore): http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/SpecBevelLPE As you see, is not something doable with LPEs because style of the bevel has to be editable and not inherited from the object. In this case filters doesn't seem to achieve this although some of the pre-made filters give a "3D", relief or emboss effect but not like my mockup. I actually think the emboss tool could be made with filters. In some way, the bevel tool would be like the 3d box tool: both create a group editable with the tool, or you can edit the elements of the group sepparately if you ungroup it. Regards. PS: Steren, sorry for sending you this message twice.

Fwd: promoting SVG
by Felipe Sanches 31 Jul '08

31 Jul '08

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Felipe Sanches <felipe.sanches@...400...> Date: Tue, Jul 29, 2008 at 3:14 AM Subject: promoting SVG To: Asa Dotzler <asa@...2025...>, stb@...2026... hello, My name is Felipe Sanches. I am an Inkscape developer (also known as JucaBlues at the Inkscape community) and I am putting efforts in the spread SVG usage for web content. I am very excited about the possibilities that this technology brings and also about the openness of it (mainly compared to proprietary Flash technology). I have recently developed a little game using SVG and javascript. You can see it here: http://bighead.poli.usp.br/~juca/code/svg/minigame/minigame.svg<http://bighead.poli.usp.br/%7Ejuca/code/svg/minigame/minigame.svg> I would like to promote something together with Mozilla. I was thinking about a game coding contest. The rules would require the game to use SVG technology and to run properly in Firefox 3 (and, optionaly, on any SVG compliant browser). I would like to promote this contest myself, but I do not have enough resources to provide cool prizes and also I do not have the same visibility as you guys have in order to reach the greatest possible number of contest submissions from the webdevelopment community. Even harder when you think about an specific technology we are trying to promote. Since Firefox is an SVG capable browser, and Mozilla is clearely in favour of open standards for the web, I supose that you would be interested in making this contest become a reality. I can write a tutorial explaining which techniques & tools I used to develop this example SVG+javascript game, so this could also eventually help promoting Inkscape, which is the opensource SVG editor project to which I often contribute. I am waiting to hear your opinions on the subject, best wishes, Felipe Sanches PS: these are the instructions for the example game: Enter key - Starts the game Right and left arrow keys - moves Tux SpaceBar - tux tries to hit the MSN butterfly also, if you need, you can zoom the graphics with ctrl + (plus) SVG is vector graphics, so you wont loose quality when zooming SVG content

Re: [Inkscape-devel] promoting SVG / cutter control discussion
by Bruce Westfall 30 Jul '08

30 Jul '08

I am very glad this is being discussed! Here are my opinions from what I've been able to do thus far using Inkscape and my vinyl cutters: I would not bother with any format other than HPGL. It is a standard for desktop and large format cutting plotters - not just Graphtec. (Graphtec has some proprietary formats, as do others...) I have a 15 year old 24" Roland plotter and a less than week old Graphtec 48" plotter ( vinyl cutters ). The exact same file can be cut by both machines with no alterations other than the original setup. Graphtec defaults to it's own version - GP-GL, this needs changed on the control panel to standard HP-GL. What I do right now is: 1. Make the drawing in Inkscape 2. Copy what needs cut to the clipboard 3. Open a new file in Inkscape 4. Paste clipboard data into new file 5. SHIFT+CTRL+D to access properties of new file 6. Click the "Fit page to selection" button 7. Save file as "newplot.ps" 8. in terminal, enter: ./graphtec.sh < newplot.ps 9. plotter starts and cuts perfectly, absolutely ignorant it is being controlled by open source software! The file 'graphtec.sh' is a modified version of a script found at: http://www.3x6.nl/inkscape_hpgl/....html It uses hpgl-distiller - a program that can be downloaded from: http://pldaniels.com/hpgl-distiller This sounds complicated, but once it is set up, it isn't much worse than any other vinyl cutting software. I've used plenty of them! I will gladly help actively work on and test this. I also have plenty of other ideas to help inkscape become a full featured vinyl cutting solution.

Could it be done without knowing anything about the bit-flipping and other issues you mentioned? If you think that it would be worth it to take this little detour from my actual SoC project, I'd be glad to be this "someone". :) But I neither have any experience with cairo nor am I familiar with the problems you mentioned. So someone would need to give me step-by-step instructions of what needs to be done. Max -- Psssst! Schon vom neuen GMX MultiMessenger gehört?

Inkscape PDF import from the command line
by Amit 30 Jul '08

30 Jul '08

Hi, According to the latest release notes from the wiki: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/ReleaseNotes047#PDF_import_from_the… Inkscape 0.47 (upcoming) will support importing PDF from the command line. According to the wiki the first page is imported. Is there a feature planned to do page by page import (e.g. --page=1, --page=all, or --page=1,3,6)? If not, I would love to help out in implementing this. Thanks, Amit

SVGFonts dialog
by Felipe Sanches 29 Jul '08

29 Jul '08

*** if you are not interested in my SVGFonts SoC status, you can skip reading this message *** Hi, Richard, I am a bit nervous about what should I do next. I have been thinking about user interface and I agree with you that glyph kerning is much more present than other stuff. But I am not sure if we should put all font-face attributes on a dialog. That would be too much stuff. And probably not very useful for the users. Think about stuff like the "ideographic", "mathematical" and "hanging" attributes. It seems to be stuff that would be passed to pango so that it can decide whether to use or not this SVGFont instance when inquired about a closest match for a font substitution (supposedly it didnt find the perfect match installed on system). I guess this stuff wouldnt be much important at first glance. Since when my project got stucked at pango, I have been feeling kind of lost in a new huge set of user interface TO-DOs, which I do not know what to address first. I am feeling a bit pressured by the deadline and the feeling that even having put some effort on the codebase, my code is still not very useful. I would like to ask you, what should I focus now, since we have only 12 days until GSoC deadline. I think I cannot do anyting great such as glyph editing (be it on or off canvas) until then. Juca PS: If anyone else wants to give me some advice, I sugest compiling and installing cairo from git and then compiling inkscape. That would trigger the conditional compile of my work, which cannot be compiled without a new version of cairo (which has user-font support). Or you could look at screenshots in https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/247785 Then you can also look at share/examples/svgfont.svg

One of my favorite svg sites is http://treebuilder.de . By coincidence, he has an svg game tutorial here: http://www.treebuilder.de/default.asp?file=163540.xml One small thing.

Any clues? Actually, you don't need to add the menu item at all, if it's defined in the INX file it'll get added automatically. In the case of C plugins, the INX file is the XML that is at the bottom of the file. Probably the reason that you're not seeing it is that your plugin isn't getting initialized. To do that you'll have to put it in the list of plugin inits.

In general, you'll only have rebuild when a major header file or the build system is changed. So if you change one of the Makefiles (probably when you added your file) it'll change. But when you change init.cpp it'll only build init.o, libextension.a and the inkscape binary. --Ted

Node tool is broken in Inkscape 0.46+devel, built Jul 16 2008 (on Windows)
by worms invasion 29 Jul '08

29 Jul '08

Hello, In Inkscape 0.46+devel, built Jul 16 2008, on Windows 2000, the Node tool is broken: You can't select the type of node at all if no handles are shown on the node. (i.e. select a newly drawn node and apply a type to it). When handles have been dragged out of the node, then you can select the node type in the toolbar. This is a change of behaviour from before.

Crop & Transparency Tools
by Andy Fitzsimon 29 Jul '08

29 Jul '08

Hi everyone, I've got a couple of thoughts I'd like some feedback on. Clippaths and Masking are both existing functions we support but Cropping and a transparency tool are features that dont currently exist. There is a process that must be done to achieve those results which I think is redundant work 90% of the time, not to mention hard to learn for new users. So here's my proposal. [[ CROP TOOL ]] Is anyone interested in defining the interaction and rendering of a cropping function? My assumption would be a tool that helps the user create a <rect> (that is rendered as a inverted filled outline. The tool would instantly draw the rect > selects objects according to the setting > groups that selection (if crop selection is specified) and finally applies a clippath. We would need display tricks mentioned like rendering a 50% transparent black fill for the area not being cropped during the process. Rotating the crop could be done with the control point usually reserved for rounding a rect ( as I dont think we want to introduce rounded clippaths when we are talking about something simple like cropping. also I think this should be have three modal settings in the toolbar: - crop entire document, - crop selected objects (which would require grouping before applying the clippath) - crop current layer ( which would clippath the layer group) [[ TRANSPARENCY TOOL ]] We could use a similar approach to create a transparency tool. In one action we would create a white rect matching the bounding box of the selected object(s) and group + mask to uniformly reveal transparency features similar to xara anyway what do you think?

Overloading ambiguity
by Federico Beffa 29 Jul '08

29 Jul '08

Dear Inkscape developers, I'm trying to compile Inkscape-0.46 on OpenSolaris-200805 with the SunStudio tools. Unfortunately the process is not very smooth. After fixing some errors reported by the compiler, I'm stuck with the following one: "document-subset.cpp", line 234: Error: Overloading ambiguity between "Inkscape::Util::ForwardPointerIterator<SPObject, SPObject::ParentIteratorStrategy>::operator SPObject*() const" and "Inkscape::Util::ForwardPointerIterator<const SPObject, SPObject::ParentIteratorStrategy>::operator const SPObject*() const". 1 Error(s) detected. make[2]: *** [document-subset.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/pack/inkscape-0.46-fb/src/inkscape-0.46/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/pack/inkscape-0.46-fb/src/inkscape-0.46' make: *** [all] Error 2 Unfortunately I'm not a C++ expert, nor familiar with the Inkscape code. I would be very grateful if someone could give me a hint on how I could fix this compiler time ambiguity. Hereafter I report the code which generates the error. void DocumentSubset::Relations::addOne(SPObject *obj) { g_return_if_fail( obj != NULL ); g_return_if_fail( get(obj) == NULL ); Record &record=_doAdd(obj); /* find the nearest ancestor in the subset */ Record *parent_record=NULL; for ( SPObject::ParentIterator parent_iter=obj->parent ; !parent_record && parent_iter ; ++parent_iter ) ...

NEW: LPE Interpolate
by unknown＠example.com 28 Jul '08

28 Jul '08

Hi all, I just committed a new LPE: Interpolate. Does something like the python interpolate effect. You can also draw the interpolation trajectory: the path along which the intermediate paths are drawn. 1. Draw a path consisting of 2 subpaths. (draw a line, then draw another line while holding shift. the 2nd line will be added to the 1st, the result will be an SVG path with 2 subpaths) 2. Apply LPE Interpolate. The reason I made this interpolation between the 1st and 2nd subpath is that it seemed relatively easy to do this, instead of interpolating between whole sets of paths. Hmm, now that I think of it, it isn't all that much more effort actually. In any case, the UI is much easier to work with for subpaths than for 2 paths. I could also do this probably: 1. Draw an interpolation trajectory 2. Apply LPE 3. Copy-paste first path as "Path A" parameter Copy-paste second path as "Path B" parameter Let me know what you all think is best, maybe we want both, as in the case of bend path and pattern-along-path. ("Interpolate subpaths" and "Interpolate along path") :) Johan P.S. The LPE choose dropdown box is getting really huge now. Who wants to make mockups of what is a better system for applying effects?

Gdadin: an Inkscape Effect to draw algorithms
by Alpt 28 Jul '08

28 Jul '08

Dear Inkscape developers, I'm pleased to announce the first release of Gdadin. --- Gdadin http://freaknet.org/alpt/src/gdadin GUI to Draw Algorithms Designed with Inkscape Gdadin is an Inkscape effect. It creates complex drawings from simple rules The rules are defined with an intuitive GUI based on the Copy&Paste principle. The Gdadin concept and its main design have been heavily inspired by Cfdg ( http://www.contextfreeart.org/ ), a programming language used to compose and create drawings. Almost all drawings created with Cfdg can be reproduced with Gdadin. Examples: http://freaknet.org/alpt/src/gdadin/examples/ Main documentation: http://freaknet.org/alpt/src/gdadin/README Video lessons: http://freaknet.org/alpt/src/gdadin/lessons/ --- I would be very pleased to hear your feedback. Is there a possibility to include Gdadin in the official Inkscape release? Note: Since I will be very busy, I don't plan to update the code soon, therefore feel free to improve it.

Fix for latency warnings
by Jon A. Cruz 26 Jul '08

26 Jul '08

For those seeing the recent event latency warnings, I've just put in a fix ** (inkscape:27965): WARNING **: Event latency reached 3.290566 sec The main cause of extraneous warnings is a slight difference between the clock used for the GDK event marking and the real time. On my Mac, I observed that the skew was of a constant factor, so I added in an option to compensate for that. On my system the value was 0.9766 (and thus on my system after running for 85 seconds Inkscape would believe a latency of over 2 seconds had crept in). We'll probably need to investigate this a bit more, but getting that factor in should let people with false warnings get things calibrated and see only good ones. If you need it, look for the new setting under the misc pane.

a newbie installation question
by Tena Sakai 25 Jul '08

25 Jul '08

Hi, I have downloaded .gz file, gunzipped, and tried installing by: ./configure (and so forth) The configure complained as to: > checking libgc version 6.4+... no > configure: error: libgc (the Boehm Conservative Collector) 6.4+, is needed to compile inkscape -- http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc So I went ahead and installed gc. It seemed to have gone well. Here's the tail end of what 'make install' told me: > Libraries have been installed in: > /usr/local/lib > If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries > in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and > specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR' > flag during linking and do at least one of the following: > - add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable > during execution > - add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable > during linking > - use the `-Wl,--rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag > - have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf' > See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for > more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages. > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > test -z "/usr/local/include" || mkdir -p -- "/usr/local/include" > /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 'include/gc.h' '/usr/local/include/gc.h' > /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 'include/gc_local_alloc.h' '/usr/local/include/gc_local_alloc.h' > /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 'include/gc_pthread_redirects.h' '/usr/local/include/gc_pthread_redirects.h' > /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 'include/gc_config_macros.h' '/usr/local/include/gc_config_macros.h' > /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 'include/leak_detector.h' '/usr/local/include/leak_detector.h' > /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 'include/gc_typed.h' '/usr/local/include/gc_typed.h' > make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/gc/gc6.7' > make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/gc/gc6.7' So, I went back to inkscape's configure and tried the same thing as before. It is telling me the same thing as before: > checking libgc version 6.4+... no > configure: error: libgc (the Boehm Conservative Collector) 6.4+, is needed to compile inkscape -- http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc I looked at the configure script, but it is a bit too intimidating. I would appreciate a tip as to what I have to do to alleviate the problem and successfully finish the installation. Thank you. Tena Sakai tsakai@...2019...

Adding additional raster effects...
by heathenx 25 Jul '08

25 Jul '08

I am interested in adding a couple more effects the the already existing raster effects. It's more or less just for myself since I don't have the chops to contribute anything of value to anyone else. I'm not sure what I'm biting off at this point. It might be easy or it might be extremely hard to do. My coding skills are very limited (meaning I have none). Are the raster effects part of the main source code or are they broken out into smaller "extensionized" chunks somewhere? I think modifying an existing effect into something else might be a good starting point for me...if possible. A "Dude, don't even attempt to try this." would be a perfectly acceptable answer for me. I'll walk away like nothing ever happened. :) heathenx

Bug in node tool?
by john cliff 23 Jul '08

23 Jul '08

Hi Guys, spotted this late last night and didnt get a chance to file a bug on it, writing this note so I dont forget completely. Was playing with the node tool and found that there seems to be an indexing error (looks like an off by one type of thing) where whenever you do click to add nodes or try to drag the curve it does it to the wrong line segment. so if you have A-----B-----C and double click between A&B you get a node between B&C likewise if you try to drag to reshape it moves BC instead of AB. Cheers John

win32 devs - be mindful of <string.h>
by Bob Jamison 23 Jul '08

23 Jul '08

Hi all. I just wanted to remind win32 developers that when they use the C lib string functions in <string.h>, they should take care to #include <string.h>, even if their code will compile without it. Apparently mingw's runtime .h files are configured a little differently, and other includes (stdio? stdlib?) pick up the string.h definitions. Without that #include, your code that uses string functions might compile, but when you commit, it will break the build for everyone else. I know, because I have been guilty of this more than once myself! :) IMHO, even if one feels confident that their includes are handled by other includes, in situations like this it is best to be explicit, safe, and portable. bob

Tabel/XInput
by Alexander Roalter 23 Jul '08

23 Jul '08

I was redirected to this list, my problem ist the following: When using the Tablet (Wacom Graphire 4, USB) on my OpenSUSE 11, with the selector tool (F1) pressing on some object, the object is not selected. If I use the mouse for this, the object is selected. If I switch the Tablet's mode from Screen to Disabled in the XInput properties, I can select the object just as with the mouse, but I don't get the pressure-sensitivity. If I patch inkscape in order to produce output in sp_select_context_root_handler and sp_select_context_item_handler and put a printf at case GDK_BUTTON_PRESS, GDK_ENTER_NOTIFY, GDK_LEAVE_NOTIFY on select_context_item_handler as well as GDK_BUTTON_PRESS and GDK_BUTTON_RELEASE at select_context_root (the latter two I'll be naming GDK_BUTTON_PRESS/RELEASE____root from now on, I get the following behavior: if I draw a square with the rectangle tool and switch to select (F1), I can move the mouse over the rectangle and I get GDK_ENTER_NOTIFY If I move the mouse out of the rectangle, I get GDK_LEAVE_NOTIFY If I press somewhere (outside of the rectanlge), I get GDK_BUTTON_PRESS____root, and when I release, I get GDK_BUTTON_RELEASE____root. This is also valid for the tablet. If I press somewhere *in* the rectangle, with the mouse I get GDK_LEAVE_NOTIFY GDK_ENTER_NOTIFY GDK_BUTTON_PRESS and if I release, I get GDK_BUTTON_RELEASE___root GDK_BUTTON_RELEASE___root (that's right, I get it twice), and the rectangle is selected. If I do the same with the tablet, I get GDK_LEAVE_NOTIFY GDK_BUTTON_PRESS____root and upon release GDK_BUTTON_RELEASE____root GDK_ENTER_NOTIFY and nothing is selected at all. Maybe someone with a bit more insight could help me out here. It might have to do something with GDK and/or its implementation of XInput, but this would not explain the different behavior, I mean pressing outside of the rectangle generates PRESS and RELEASE as expected, but if there's an object under it, why is there a leave notify *not* followed by a enter notify just as it is the case with the mouse? -- cheers, Alex

Bevel LPE (and others) discussion
by Pajarico 23 Jul '08

23 Jul '08

Hi, I'm working on a blueprint for adding bevel to objects. I'm still doing the mockups and need some input (I will post them shortly). So far the mockups will show some examples of the intended result. I haven't done the UI yet because I'm not sure on what features people need. There are some ideas on the blueprint page: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/inkscape/+spec/bevel-lpe What i suggest is that the color of the bevel to be independent of the objects color, so the bevel color should be editable on the LPE dialog. I'm not so sure about the stroke configuration. The above leads me to the following suggestion. I'm planning on doing (on the long run) blueprints for LPEs for shadow, emboss and extrusion, and a widget that let's you see and edit a color (for general using on those LPEs and on future ones) could be useful. What do you think? The point is that all named LPEs have a lot in common in the way the should work: * Bevel LPE: needs color selector for stroke/fill of the bevel and light needs adjusting the position of light * Shadow LPE: needs color selector for shadow needs adjusting the position of shadow * Emboss LPE: <none?> needs adjusting thedirection of emboss * Extrusion LPE: needs color selector for stroke/fill of the extrusion and light needs adjusting the position the extrude and light Doubts, suggestions, ideas...: 1- Is it a good idea to set stroke&fill independently from the objects attributes? (I find this useful but want your opinions about coding and usability). 2- What are your thoughts about creating a color selector widget? Just a swatch showing a color that jumps to the Fill&Stroke dialog when clicked. Would it be any good to have for these LPEs and future use? or is better to use the current one? but how? The LPE settings dialog should show this information somehow and the problem is that using the current dialog like that won't make clear what color are you setting exactly. 3- The selection of direction and position has similarities between LPEs and maybe some code could be shared. Or use a widget like the Gimp is using, but I would prefer on-canvas editing. 4- The color of the light should be added to the color of the objects, so the final aspect of the object depends on both. CorelDRAW X3 does this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzlaE4IJzr8 (@2:10) 5- Should rounded corners be faceted or not (with an option for the number of facets)? 6- CorelDRAW does bevel with soft edges, but this can get things complicated as we would need blur and a clipping path. I think that's everything for now. Regards. Pablo Trabajos.

Hi all, I started working in the direction of Valerie's proposal for a redesigned pen/pencil toolbar (see http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Vector-brushes), and I have a few quick questions: 1) How can I add images/paths to dropdown menus, e.g., to illustrate the shape that is going to be applied as a PatternAlongPath LPE? 2) I'd like to save the various possible shapes for dropdown menu #6 (cf. the image in the blueprint) in a separate file and read them during runtime rather than to hard-code them in advance. How can I access their path information from my code so that they can be applied as a PatternAlongPath? 3) For the LPE experts (Johan in particular :-) ): Valerie suggests that the width of the shape can be controlled via two spinbuttons. When I apply a given shape to a path (using PatternAlongPath), does the width of the resulting LPE-item depend on the length of the path or is it independent of this length (i.e., does the resulting item become wider when the path is longer and thus the pattern is "stretched" more)? Thanks in advance, Max -- GMX startet ShortView.de. Hier findest Du Leute mit Deinen Interessen! Jetzt dabei sein: http://www.shortview.de/?mc=sv_ext_mf@...1921...

LPE "visibility": request for icon and name
by unknown＠example.com 21 Jul '08

21 Jul '08

Hi all, I just added an extra column in the LPE stack dialog. It shows whether an LPE is "visible" or not. (Corresponds to the "Is visible" checkbox in the parameters of an LPE) Have a look if it is not clear (just apply an LPE to a path and you'll see the eye icon next to the effect in the effect list). I'd like to make a request for a better name than "visibility". It enables/disables the effect, instead of changing whether the path is visible or not. So perhaps it is better to change the naming to something like "active/inactive". In that case it is also better to change the icon's appearance to something other than an eye. Maybe a set of 2 gears (with a cross through them if deactivated). Thanks! Johan

NEW: LPE Boolops
by unknown＠example.com 20 Jul '08

20 Jul '08

Hi all, I just added LPE Boolops to SVN. Have fun with it. What would be very helpful is for you to test it and try to break it (not so hard at the moment). If you have a problem case that fails, please save the SVG and add it to the launchpad bugtracker. Please give the bugreport the "livepatheffects" tag. Because I am not sure who of 2geom development checks the bugtracker (I don't for example), please also send a mail to lib2geom-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net with a link to the launchpad bug report. Thanks!!! Johan

hi! i posted in the Inkscape forum my first approaches about vectorial animation with swftools swfc, and how i am interested to help on a python-based converter between animated-svg and swfc formats http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=819&p=6380#p6380 do someone know where from can i get samples of simple svg animations, and where can i test them?

Poppler 0.8.3 change to GfxFont
by Bob Jamison 19 Jul '08

19 Jul '08

Hi, all. One of the guys on the channel asked me if Inkscape runs with Poppler 0.8.3. I didn't know that Poppler had released anything recently, so I gave it a try on win32. Inkscape's sneaky use of some private Poppler APIs finally bit us! :-). There is a small change in GfxFont::getNextChar() that needs to be addressed for Poppler-0.8.3+. <tsdgeos> on #poppler kindly showed me the tweak, which I committed. To be able to use the latest Poppler and this fix, compile with -DPOPPLER_NEW_GFXFONT It seems to run nicely. But you must recompile. Do NOT use the new Poppler shared objects or DLLs without recompiling, else it is a crasher. The tweak is just something to keep Inkscape compiling. Miklos, can you look at this? I'm sure there is a cleaner, more permanent fix out possible. thanks! bob

Re: [Inkscape-devel] mingwenv.bat needs to be updated
by Bob Jamison 18 Jul '08

Done. Good idea. That file, and the paths in it, aren't really mandatory, more of a suggestion. People can use anything they want, but it's good to let them know that Python is needed. bob -----Original Message----- >From: Yann Papouin <yann.papouin@...400...> >Sent: Jul 18, 2008 7:03 AM >To: inkscape <inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net> >Subject: [Inkscape-devel] mingwenv.bat needs to be updated > >Hi, > >Python path must be added to the .bat file to compile Inkscape normaly with >cxxtest.

Unit tests on Linux, anyone want to double-check my Makefile changes?
by Jasper van de Gronde 17 Jul '08

17 Jul '08

The (new) CxxTest unit tests finally work on Linux. It took a "little" longer than I had hoped (I had to reinstall Ubuntu about 7 times before I figured out that Qemu couldn't deal properly with its own qcow2 image format), but it now works. However, if anyone familiar with Makefiles wants to check that I didn't make some stupid mistakes, that would be great. (I obviously checked that it still builds and such, but perhaps there are some less obvious problems lurking in the dark.)

This always works for me: 1) Using a DOS console, cd to your inkscape installation directory 2) c:\foobar> set LANG=de_DE (or whatever your locale code is) 3) c:\foobar> inkscape You might want to simply add a batch file to the directory with those two lines, so that in the future, you only need to double-click it. bob -----Original Message----- >From: Diederik en Rezi <mail@...1689...> >Sent: Jul 16, 2008 2:25 PM >To: Marek Ososiński <naukowiec@...400...> >Cc: inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net >Subject: Re: [Inkscape-devel] Text input > >Marek Ososiński wrote: >> and am i stuck with the freaking language that is set on my home PC / >> how to change the lang to english? >On windows, simply delete the relevant directory (C:/Program >Files/Inkscape/locale/your-language) > >Diederik > >------------------------------------------------------------------------- >This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge >Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes >Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world >http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ >_______________________________________________ >Inkscape-devel mailing list >Inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net >https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/inkscape-devel

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Multiple inkscape layers with same name
by Peter Moulder 16 Jul '08

16 Jul '08

----- Forwarded message from Jakub Steiner <jimmac@...400...> ----- Hi Peter, thanks for discussing this. It's not a matter of life and death though, I can live with the way things are now. I just thought initially the restriction is fairly artificial seeing that the layer names are stored in inkscape:label. The reason why I wanted to name multiple layers the same is this -- http://blip.tv/file/1077148 It's not much of a showstopper for me though, and I feel bad for wasting your time, guys. Nevertheless thank you for listening to your whiney users :) On Tue, Jul 15, 2008 at 6:52 AM, Peter Moulder <Peter.Moulder@...38...> wrote: > I asked JonCruz about it.
