printing
by Kees Cook 17 Apr '04

17 Apr '04

So, since I am now printing from inkscape every week, the "print" dialog has started to bother me. I'd like to replace it with the gnomeprint dialog. I've started doing some digging to understand the print subsystem in inkscape, and started taking some random notes here: http://www.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?PrintingSubsystem Basically, libgnomeprint gives us an "Output" and "Delivery" system. We already have an internal PS "Output" system, and that's fine, since it seems that libgnomeprint is happy to co-exist with other output systems. The major change I want to make it to use libgnomeprintui to handle the dialog portion, which is very cool since it'll gather all the configuration information needed during the "Output" phase (page size, orientation, destination, etc). Then the Output runs, and finally, it gets delivered for us. I think this would let us throw out all the print dialog and print delivery code and just rely on libgnomeprint without having to implement all their moveto and stroke stuff. And from what I can tell, it will work under windows too, although I'd have to test it. :) Does anyone have modern build instructions for windows? The Wiki seems out of date. -- Kees Cook @outflux.net

Fixes to save as on win32
by Carl Hetherington 17 Apr '04

17 Apr '04

Hi, I just committed a patch to allow save as PS/EPS on Win32. I'd be grateful if any Windows-ers could test it. It looks like the fileTypes parameter to the FileOpenDialog and FileSaveDialog constructors is now not required. Perhaps it should be removed? Cheers Carl

Introduction to the Inkscape 0.39 Pango Rearchitecting Effort
by Bryce Harrington 17 Apr '04

17 Apr '04

As most of you know, the principle focus for the 0.39 release is slated to be "Pangoification". While we expect that there's going to be a number of new features, bug fixes, code cleanups, etc. our project's top objective for this release is to replace libnrtype with Pango. This of course brings up the questions, "Huh? Pango? Libnrtype? Whazzalat?" The following document provides a broad overview to this effort, explaining what Libnrtype and Pango are and what we gain by replacing the former by the latter. It's hoped that this will serve as an easy orientation into this work for those of us who don't know a lot about fonts but may be interested in lending a hand. http://www.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Pangoification (If you spot any inaccuracies, don't be shy about clicking edit and fix it up!)

perspective distortions
by bulia byak 16 Apr '04

16 Apr '04

I wrote a plan for implementing perspective distortions in Inkscape: http://inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?PerspectiveObject I think it shapes out well and should not be too difficult to implement. Still, I may have missed something. Please comment by editing the Wiki page. Use :, ::, etc at the beginning of line to indent your comments. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Premium with Virus Guard and Firewall* from McAfee� Security : 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=ht…

markers dropdowns
by John Cliff 16 Apr '04

16 Apr '04

Hi guys, Looking at the logs from the chatroom, it seems the marker selection dropdowns are crashing inkscape on you guys? I knew the previews didnt work (which is why i disabled them) but I didnt realise the menus themselves were killing the prog. Is it giving any messages? They work fine for me here on windows, so I'm not sure whats going on. (or how to go about fixing a problem on a platform i dont have access to.) some feedback would be appreciated.

Whatever these px units are, they cannot be screen pixels, and therefore must have a constant coefficient for unit conversions. The only units without such a coefficient are "unit units", percent, em, and ex. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN Premium.

Plan for Inkscape 0.39
by Bryce Harrington 15 Apr '04

15 Apr '04

Inkscape 0.39 Development ------------------------- With 0.38.1 now out the door, focus can turn to the next coming release. This development cycle will be more like the 0.36 release, in that the objective is to implement a lot of cool new features. Any and all new features are most welcome, but the primary thing to get implemented is to convert our font system to Pango. For the 0.38 release we measured our progress by counting bugs closed. For this release we track progress by tasks getting marked completed. When the tasks are completed, 0.39 can be cut. So if you'd like to lend a hand to this release, please review the following task list for something you'd like to sign up for. Sign up for the task in Wik (or just let me know off-list): http://www.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Roadmap Milestone 5 - Pango Architectural Change - Inkscape 0.39 ======================================================== * Adopt Pango for handling fonts * Redo text editing and text style handling * Develop GTKMM mockup/ideas for the Preferences dialog * Consider trimming ChangeLog (currently ~370 KB) * Create new cursor icons [rejon] * Finish moving tool options to 2ndary palette + move arc tool options to 2ndary palette (code in src/toolbox.cpp) [rejon] + Remove tool options dialogue and code from project [bulia] * Incorporate (or reject) all patches posted to patch tracker * Change the SEGV and SIGABRT handlers to reliably autosave and put up a crash dialog * Write an extensions/plugin enhancement proposal(s) and post to mailing list for review * Add Pango as an optional dependency for Inkscape & test on our various target platforms * Modify widgets/font-selector.cpp to use Pango font new/ref/deref function as a compile-time option * Modify dialogs/text-edit.cpp to use Pango font new/ref/deref function as a compile-time option * Modify display/nr-arena-glyphs to use Pango font functions as a compile-time option * Create replacements for sp-text.cpp and sp-chars.cpp that uses Pango instead of libnrtype as compile time option * Test removal of libnrtype from Inkscape's Makefile & see what it breaks * Make Pango a required dependency for Inkscape & remove compile-time option scaffolding * Straighten out global vs. user resource files (create /etc/inkscape/ with appropriate files) * Implement preliminary support for iso & hex grid [njh] * Fix svg:use support, create the Clone command [bb] * Implement "scale stroke" switch * Ensure when copying, that 'image/png' and/or 'image/svg' get on the system clipboard * Review & plan out replacement of sp-file.* + Implement backup functionalty for documents and preferences.xml, ideally with versioning like in Emacs * Replace calls to arikkei string/tokenizing routines in libnrtype/ with standard glib functions & remove libarikkei * Improve freehand curve smoothness [pjrm, paraprax] Inkscape Experimental * Implement tests of Inkscape against the W3C test suite (0.37 loads 95% correctly without animations) [bryce]

gtkmm

Just a quick note that, in preparation for the XML and layers dialog work, I've added a ./configure test for gtkmm (2.0+). We've been talking about it long enough, and now that the bug fix release is finally out the door I think it should make life enormously easier for the next round of feature work. -mental

Feedback on 0.38 Release
by Bryce Harrington 15 Apr '04

15 Apr '04

One of the artists at work dragged me into his cube with questions after downloading and installing Inkscape 0.38. In between his gushing over the features that were in there, he made some good observations about things that'd help usability: * Default font for text was too small when at the (default) full-size page view. * The context menu for text should include a link to the Text and Font dialog. * Changing font color should be easier to access via the context menu and/or the text and font properties dialog. * The zoom mouse cursor shows a '+' when zooming in. It should show a '-' when you're zooming out (shift-mouse click) * It would be handy to have a way to select objects "under" the object on top. E.g., a modifier to the left mouse click that would cause it to select the next object down in the stack for each click. * When you select 2+ objects and right click, having access to some of the 'Align' and/or 'Boolean' commands could be helpful. * When you're editing a multi-stop gradient and then close the dialog and do 'undo's, it appears to undo each individual edit to the gradient rather than just undoing the entire editing transaction. He also had a bunch of suggestions for features, most all of which are already captured in RFE's, but here's a couple that I think are new: * There should be a way to not only convert a text object into a node object, but also to convert the individual letters in the text object to separate text or node objects. * Pasting text from open office to inkscape or vice versa. * Paste style is very cool and works as expected. Some sort of 'paste size' might also be useful, if you want to force a range of shapes to have exactly the same dimensions. Let me know if these sound ok, and I'll add RFE's for them later this week.

Grid-related patches
by Carl Hetherington 14 Apr '04

14 Apr '04

Hi, I've just put a couple of grid-related patches in the tracker; I mention them here in case anyone wants to disagree ;-) 1. Anchor points are snapped to the grid; otherwise when you're drawing a line with the pen tool you get every point except the first snapped to the grid, which seems a little odd. 2. Resolve the issue whereby changing grid snap units from pixels to mm is not noticed. Fuller explanation is in the comments I added and in the patch tracker. My other grid-related problem is that pasting a snapped object results in the pasted version not being snapped to the grid. I plan to fix this so that pasted objects are placed such that their points have the same offset from the nearest grid points as the original. Any objections? Cheers Carl

Another grid-related question.
by Carl Hetherington 14 Apr '04

14 Apr '04

Hi, When you draw a path using the pen with the grid enabled, the centre of the resulting path is snapped to the grid. However if you then drag that path around (using the select tool), the /edge/ of the path starts snapping to the grid. For my purposes I'd say that snap should always be to the centre of the path, but I can imagine that others might want to snap to the edge of it. Any thoughts? Carl

I wonder if we'd want to use this >as a convention for other things like gradients? Since these are user-visible names, they must be as plain and straightforward as possible. So just "WhateverName" is much better. To a user, "INK_" is redundant because he knows the markers come with Inkscape, and "m" is redundant because they are shown as markers to him. If he's creating his own markers (which only a minorilty will do anyway), he can use any prefixes, but I think just using all-lowercase names will be enough to set apart user-create markers from the predefined ones. _________________________________________________________________ Free yourself from those irritating pop-up ads with MSn Premium.

marker orientation
by John Cliff 14 Apr '04

14 Apr '04

Hi guys, Bit of a conundrum, which way is the end marker on a curve meant to point? if I've got a curve thus ---------------- and I apply the same arrow marker to each end should I end up with a) <-------------> or b) <-------------< ? I've read the spec, and cant work it out. I looked at the test cases, however they use triangles aligned like this V------V which look the same with both options a + b, so its not very helpful. batik renders b, so thats how I've done it currently, however I just wanted to be sure. (inkscape was rendering them as per option a before.) Let me know what your thoughts are Cheers John __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Not an entire transaction. Rather, sequences of similar actions (such as movements of the position tracker or color edits) should be lumped together for undo. This is easy to do, just pass a string key when you call sp_document_done, and adjacent actions that have the same value of that key will be undone as one. Simarilius: can you please look into it, see e.g. keyboard object move functions for an example of lumped-together actions. >* There should be a way to not only convert a text object into a node > object, but also to convert the individual letters in the text object > to separate text or node objects. It should _always_ convert a text string into a group of paths, one path per letter, instead of the single compound path as now.

Markers progress & a small bug.
by Carl Hetherington 13 Apr '04

13 Apr '04

Hi, Thanks very much to all who have put work into the markers code, it's really coming along nicely. I've had bug #934209 in my tree for a while now, and it's still there with current CVS. I'll have another look at it some time this week, but perhaps someone else can sort it in the mean time. Cheers Carl

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Roadmapping for 0.39-0.50

>Probably the best sequence to attack this in might be: I agree with all points except: > - start emplying Pango to perform text layout for e.g. SPText and >friends What is meant by this? What we DO need from Pango is proper glyph composites and contextual forms (in some languages, different glyphs are used for the same char in different positions), and that fits into the "get glyphs from Pango into the renderer" part. As for text layout proper, I see no need to rewrite it once again, with all the spacing and kerning that was added recently. In any case, compliant text layout is only possible if you know the document tree context (remember the example where one part of the dx/dy values for a string is taken from its parent, the other from grandparent, etc.?), and I doubt Pango is really capable of that. _________________________________________________________________ http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=ht…

compiled-in paths
by Kees Cook 13 Apr '04

13 Apr '04

I moved the INKSCAPE_*DIR paths into config.h so that all subdirs would pick them up. This also makes it dependencies will be checked correctly if "configure" is re-run and paths change. Before, you could change the "prefix" and some .cpp files would not get recompiled with the new path. Hopefully my logic is sane and I haven't horribly broken anything. It seems that either way (with Makefile -D's or with config.h #defines) the paths end up compiled in, so there's no difference other than better visibility to the defines. -- Kees Cook @outflux.net

I can assure you the thinking is mutual. Making a fully compliant SVG application is an ambitious and worthy goal. While Scribus has some basic drawing capabilites, it is unlikely to have anywhere near those of Inkscape. Moreover, cooperation has already led to some good ideas for the future, as well as immediate benefits. Both apps in their latest releases have much better importation / exporting results for end users. Over time, I have the sixth sense some big things will come from collaboration between the two - toolkits aside. Peter

The Item Properties dialog is really meant to be a debug tool.

We're not planning to do any work on per-object sensitivity, just keep it as it is in Sodi. Instead when we will have layers we will be able to switch sensitivity and visibility per layer, which is much more convenient. When this is done, we'll likely remove the sensitive/insensitive per-object stuff from the UI. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN Premium.

New Markers code
by Bryce Harrington 12 Apr '04

12 Apr '04

I've just committed the patch from John and Carl for improving the markers support. There were a few build issues, but with some kludging the code compiles. It's buggy on my box, though, so is going to need more attention; I figure since there's 4 of us working on it, it'll be easier having the code in CVS than passing around patches. Meanwhile beware that playing with the marker widgets on the stroke style dialog may lead to a crash. But at least this moves us a good step closer to having markers available. Bryce

Translation comments
by Arpad Biro 11 Apr '04

Hi, A note to translators: the following string #: src/dialogs/object-attributes.cpp:61 msgid "T0:" is not "to", but "t-zero" (see Spiral Properties). I just recently noticed this, and I personally had to correct my translation. Taking a look at other translations, I suspect at least 4-5 other people made the same mistake - I'm almost sure about the German and French translations being incorrect. Maybe we could also add a comment into the code for translators? If this is possible, then I also have other candidates for adding comments to: "Could not create sodipodi-svg-doc factory" "Role:" "Arcrole:" "Title:" "Em square" "Base radius to tip radius ratio" "gradientUnits" "gradientSpread" (For my personal comments on the above strings, see "po/hu.po".)

Then how do I get the current behavior if I want it? >The difference gotta be though that when >rescaling the rect, the corners stay circular. OK, I think I understand what you want. There are currently two ways to get strictly circular corners: 1) by starting from a non-rounded rect and dragging only one handle down. The other handle stays in the corner (does not move) but, since having one of the radii equal to 0 and other not makes little sense, Inkscape responds by producing strictly rounded corners. 2) By dragging any handle with Ctrl. This way both handles are moved and are at the same distance from the corner. The difference is that with 1), the circularity is preserved when you resize the rect, while with 2) it is not. I agree that this is inconsistent and inconvenient, and I will try changing Ctrl-drag so it produces the same result as 1), with one of the handles in the corner. This way you can drag a handle on any side with Ctrl and get auto-circular corners preserved in scaling. Is this what you're after? _________________________________________________________________ MSN Premium: Up to 11 personalized e-mail addresses and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=ht…

>932254 died a horrible death, with a very ugly fix >(adding the miterlimit to the bounding box in the >nr-arena-shape update function). My gut feeling is that the renderer must not have any preconditioned bounding box; it must _return_ one, not take. But this may be too difficult to implement. For now, adding the miterlimit length to the bbox sounds OK to me. So the wrong cut problem is now gone, but the stroke-miterlimit value is still calculated wrong. According to spec, the value of sqrt(2) must correspond to the miter/bevel transition at the angle of 90 degrees, while now it happens at 45 degrees. We must conform to what the spec says to be compliant: http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/painting.html#StrokeProperties >932251 i cannot >produce either, but i had the exact same problem a >while ago. it should have been fixed. if you can >provide me a svg of the problem to debug...

Fred, your latest changes broke win32 compilation: display/nr-arena-item.cpp: In function `unsigned int nr_arena_item_invoke_render(NRArenaItem*, NRRectL*, NRPixBlock*, unsigned int)': display/nr-arena-item.cpp:383: error: `gettimeofday' undeclared (first use this function) display/nr-arena-item.cpp:383: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in.) I noticed you added a new option, arenatilescachesize. Can you elaborate on what effect it has, and what are the recommended values? If it's supposed to be user-editable, please add it to http://inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?PreferencesDialog with a label, acceptable range of values, and a tooltip which explains what this option does and how. When we finally create a preferences dialog that page will be used as the base. Also, there are quite a bunch of new bugs in the tracker that you may be interested in (dashed strokes, offsets, miters, etc.) _________________________________________________________________ MSN Premium helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

item opacity not drawn correctly
by David Christian Berg 10 Apr '04

10 Apr '04

When you have an object, with pretty thick an outline and change it's opacity, in the item properties, you will notice, that not the opacity of the object is decreased, but the opacity of the stroke and the fill seperately. You notice this, because you see the fill behind the stroke. If you group some objects and change the opacity of the whole group, things work fine. Should I file a bug? David

IMPORTANT: release tagging
by MenTaLguY 10 Apr '04

10 Apr '04

NOTE: anyone who currently has a checked-out copy of RELEASE_0_38_0, the tags in your working copy are most likely hosed; please check out a fresh copy! Since we need to do a point release, I went to check out the 0.38 release branch, only to discover that there wasn't one -- and RELEASE_0_38_0 was a branch tag itself. That's a problem, because I can't just check out RELEASE_0_38_0, commit the point fixes, and tag RELEASE_0_38_1 -- it would have moved the head of the branch and the next person to check out RELEASE_0_38_0 would have gotten something other than our 0.38(.0) release... In future, PLEASE do this: RELEASE_0_X_BRANCH - a branch for the 0.X.Y releases RELEASE_0_X_Y - a regular tag for the That way, if we need to do a point release, we can just check out RELEASE_0_X_BRANCH, commit the fixes, and tag RELEASE_0_X_Y; no muss, no fuss. As noted at the top of the email I have moved and rebranched the existing 0.38 tag accordingly. RELEASE_0_38_0 is now a regular tag, and RELEASE_0_38_BRANCH is now the branch tag. -mental

You cannot have it without cut at all, because this will result in the miter length approaching infinity as the angle between the segments approaches zero. You must have a cut somewhere still. That's what stroke-miterlimit is for. See: http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/painting.html#StrokeProperties The bad thing is that Inkscape does not seem to honor srtoke-miterlimit currently, although I recall that at one point it did honor it. It's another bug that must be fixed. Well, not quite. I now see that it honors _small_ values. But in a wrong way. I added a comment to that bug. >Theoretically speaking this means if I have three nodes [1]--[2]--[3] >and move node [3] above [1] and then move it closer towards one, the tip >at node [2] should get longer and longer and for distance([1],[3])-->0 : >tip([2])-->infinity. but what acutally seems to happen is tip([2])-->0.

Three notes
by Daniel Díaz 10 Apr '04

10 Apr '04

Hello there. A friend of mine was checking out Inkscape (hadn't checked since 0.37 -- he said it's great!), and he told me something interesting: Some dialogs appear on top of everything else, but some don't. The Fill&Stroke and the Text&Font dialogs stay on top when clicking the document window, but the SPRect properties (for instance) does not. I found out there is a new window in my window manager called "SPRect attributes" (or "SPRect atributos", which is not correct in Spanish), which might explain the dis/appearance. Later on, there is this "Append filename extension automatically" (which is great) (I never understood why some apps wouldn't do it by themselves), but the thing is that if the filename has already the .svg extension, it will add another .svg to the name. I've looked in some other GNOME applications and they don't seem to behave like this. Screenshot-13 shows this: http://cortijodelrio.net/~ddiaz/directo/inks/Screenshot-13.png (Look also what happens when you have a very long filename; GTK issue, I guess.) The last thing is about international scripts. When trying to write Arabic I found out it wouldn't show it properly: text was written from left to right and with no glyphs ligature at all. The Text&Font (where you type in) shows it alright, but this is later changed. Is this going to be fixed with the Pango-ization? Looking forward to it. http://cortijodelrio.net/~ddiaz/directo/inks/Screenshot-14.png Just reporting. Greetings! Daniel Díaz yosoy@...31...

insensitive, xml editor
by David Christian Berg 10 Apr '04

10 Apr '04

I've been bugged by this all day... Anyway, here we go. When turning an object to insensitive via the item properties menu, there's a line added in the xml: sodipodi:insensitive = "true" formally that was sodipodi:insensitive = "1" it seems, since I have a few objects I created with inkscape not long ago, that have that tag. Anyway, setting the value to either "false" or "0" in the xml editor doesn't do anything. Checking sensitive in the item properties dialog again, deletes the whole line. This can of course be done in the xml editor as well, but it's a wierd behaviour, that the value setting doesn't do anything. It also brings me to another point. When you select an attribute and press [del] the whole object is deleted. Rather than that the specific attribute should be deleted, I think. And when selecting a undeletable item, the "delete attribute" should be insensitive. What I also found to be very surprising, is, that I can select items within a insensitive group via ctrl+click, but am not able to select the insensitive item via shift+click or alt+click and then change it back to sensitive via the right-click menu, but as it seems to me have to use the xml editor to select it, and then either directly delete the insensitive attribute or use the item properties dialog to do so.

It is *not* a trivial job to code an exporter with these capabilities. Go ask the Ghostscript team if you have doubts. Furthermore, while some PS3 engines can support transparency, it is in fact PDF 1.4 spec. > Alright, it just that this would be handy for me right now.

Or does anybody > know another app for it? > I would mention Scribus, but your previously announced distaste for Qt would preclude that. As a professional DTP IT consultant and member of the Scribus team, as well as assisting the Inkscape team, I can assure you nothing GPL'd _except_ Scribus is capable of the features you are looking for. The PDF exporter in Scribus has been optimized over three years of development by the main coder, Franz Schmid. My testing with pro PDF pre-flighting tools shows Scribus PDF quality to match and sometimes exceed many proprietary DTP applications. We on the Scribus team really admire the excellent and rapidly improving SVG capabilties and user friendliness of Inkscape. The Inkscape devels are a good friendly, smart bunch to boot. That it is developed with GTK and Gnome libraries is a *very* minor point. One of our devels runs Gnome as his primary desktop. Inkscape is *very* popular with Scribus users, because it has quickly become IMO the best drawing/SVG tool on Linux. Both teams are sharing ideas and striving to make import/export between both programs work smoothly between the two - sometimes difficult given the complexity of the SVG specs. Oh, by the way Scribus has Gnome code if it makes you feel better. The rendering engine uses libart_lgpl. Peter

>Do you guys want to work on top of the code in dyna-draw-context.cpp that >turns the users motions into a bezier path, or do you have plans for a new >path-to-bezier algorithm? As I explained, that tool creates simple closed paths that have no idea of mid-path or widths array. They are just closed paths with black fill, you can only edit their edge nodes. As such, they're hard to edit after they're drawn and therefore almost useless. What I've been proposing is a more usable approach where you have a midline path and an array of widths, and the final closed path gets calculated from them and updated automatically when you edit the midline or widths. The current dyna-draw code may help in developing this algorithm, but by itself it's a dead end IMHO. It's not worth to develop it further in its current state. One other thing that dyna-draw does is implements some advanced realtime smoothing with "drag", "mass", etc. This applies to the algorithm for transforming your mouse movements into a path (which would become the midline path in the new tool). Some people in our team are already working on making the current freehand tool produce smoother lines, and probably the result of their efforts will be good enough for the new calligraphic tool as well, even without "mass" or "drag" stuff. Maybe, or maybe not. _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?

I will work >on this and present a formula for a broad edge calligraphy pen, since the >relationship between thickness and other factors is so simple. After I >get a look at the code you guys are using now, I can figure something out >for that, too. A sequence of beziers in "thickness space" will indeed give you smooth thickness function and may require less data to store (i.e. you can use less samples). Still, I think what is _stored_ for a stroke should be just an array of widths, which can then be rendered either as a polygon (for quick renders), or as an automatic beziergon where all the points are smooth points on a path of beziers (for quality renders). Using such an array will allow us to represent both "geometric" (elliptical, triangular etc) stroke shapes as well as totally random strokes, e.g. with thickness information coming from a tablet pen pressure. The tricky part is the algorithm: given a midline path (a sequence of lines and beziers) and the thickness array, produce a closed path representing the final stroke. This algorithm should deal satisfactorily with sharp turns and any other oddities in the input data. Once we have it, adding a new object type to Inkscape and some UI for it is more or less trivial. _________________________________________________________________ Free yourself from those irritating pop-up ads with MSn Premium.

> > I'm interested in adding another calligraphy tool. The old calligraphy tool is not only inconvenient to use, it's bad because it produces shapes with fill instead of strokes, which are very difficult to edit afterwards. We've been contemplating introducing a new Inkscape object type which would store the midline of the path you draw (as a sequence of beziers) and a function that gives the stroke width for each point along the path. That way, you'll be able to tweak the path (midline) and it will still keep the shape (widths). The width function may be just an array of width values for all points at some step distance from each other along the path, with the stroke shape approximated as a polygon based on these values. I think a calligraphy pen implemented via this object will not only be much more convenient to use, but also much easier to implement. The only problem is that the "shaped stroke" object is not implemented yet, it needs to be coded. Depending on your programming experience, you could participate in working on that object so you can later use it for a new calligraphy tool. I'm Cc:ing Nathan Hurst with whom we've discussed the shaped stroke idea. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Premium: Up to 11 personalized e-mail addresses and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=ht…

stroke tips cut off
by David Christian Berg 09 Apr '04

09 Apr '04

I just submitted bug 932254. When the angle of the corner of a shape is small enought, you notice, that the tip of the stroke is cut off. What is wierd about it, is that no matter how you rotate the object, the tip is always cut off vertical and horizontal. It seems like there was a bounding box for the object, outside of which the stroke is not drawn anymore. Have a look at the picture I submitted with the bug report. Take care David

view, hide dialogs
by David Christian Berg 09 Apr '04

09 Apr '04

Well, most of you will agree that inkscape should move into a direction where dialogs get smaller and less important, and that rather the secondary toolbar should be used instead. But since that is a long way, I suspect, how about an option to view/hide all _active_ dialogs. There should be an item for this in the menubar>view menu and I'd suggest that ctrl-tab does the same. I know this behaviour from indesign, but it's not that useful there, because it hides your toolbar aswell, which kinda sucks, because it's hard to keep on working. Anyway, what do you think about it?

Printing markers
by Carl Hetherington 08 Apr '04

08 Apr '04

Hi, My arrow head patch is working ok, but I now realise that markers don't currently print to PostScript. Any tips for how I should do this, before I blunder in on my own? I've got as far as needing to add stuff to sp_shape_print(), and needing to perform the correct transforms on the marker paths before printing them. Cheers Carl

Downloading patches
by Arpad Biro 08 Apr '04

08 Apr '04

Hi, I can't seem to be able to download patches. When I click the "Download" link, all I get is an empty page. Tried with Mozilla, Firefox, Galeon, Konqueror, wget and curl, but all to no avail. Could someone enlighten me about this? In the meantime, could someone please commit the new "es_MX.po"? (That was what I was trying to download.)

gradients and stroke
by David Christian Berg 08 Apr '04

08 Apr '04

i just installed todays cvs, so basically 0.38. good job! I'd have been testing it before the release, if I'd had the time to do so. Anyway, there's a few minor things I noticed. The stroke is not always properly displayed. When being dotted, you sometimes get dashes on one side of a rectangular. Moving or zooming helps to draw it correctly, though moving back or going back to the previous zoom-level changes it back to the wrong display. Thank you for adding multicolor gradients! But please consider redoing the way you chose the colors... add a few arrows to the gradient display at the top that can be selected and moved around. When selected one can chose the color for that stop. a new stop is created by double clicking a stop is removed by dragging it out toward the bottom of the gradient display. Basically what it's look like is like the value selectors. I think what I discribed is how gradient in corel work, but I'm not sure about it. Anyway, I was also wondering how an excentric gradient as the one on the screenshot on inkscape.org is created, couldn't yet figure that out. I'll keep on testing and complaining ;) But I can see inkscape leaving corel draw behind within 2004. Take care David

Release 0.38
by Bryce Harrington 08 Apr '04

08 Apr '04

Tonight the 0.38 release was made and CVS tagged. Congratulations everyone, this release embodies a great wealth of contributions from an impressive number of people, providing users with a significant advance over the previous release. http://www.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ReleaseNotes038 The 0.38 tarball is available on the SourceForge download page. Packagers may now use this to generate packages. Either post the files on SourceForge, or simply announce them here and ask an admin to post them. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93438 As before, we are allocating a few days for packaging before we make the official announcements, so that when the announce goes out, we have sufficient breadth of packages for interested users. With tonight's release, the feature freeze is finished, and so developers are encouraged to merge branches, apply patches, and set forth on new development as desired. Enjoy! Bryce

I will work >on this and present a formula for a broad edge calligraphy pen, since the >relationship between thickness and other factors is so simple. After I >get a look at the code you guys are using now, I can figure something out >for that, too. A sequence of beziers in "thickness space" will indeed give you smooth thickness function and may require less data to store (i.e. you can use less samples). Still, I think what is _stored_ for a stroke should be just an array of widths, which can then be rendered either as a polygon (for quick renders), or as an automatic beziergon where all the points are smooth points on a path of beziers (for quality renders). Using such an array will allow us to represent both "geometric" (elliptical, triangular etc) stroke shapes as well as totally random strokes, e.g. with thickness information coming from a tablet pen pressure. The tricky part is the algorithm: given a midline path (a sequence of lines and beziers) and the thickness array, produce a closed path representing the final stroke. This algorithm should deal satisfactorily with sharp turns and any other oddities in the input data. Once we have it, adding a new object type to Inkscape and some UI for it is more or less trivial. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Premium: Up to 11 personalized e-mail addresses and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=ht…

How to add <marker> objects to <def>
by Carl Hetherington 06 Apr '04

06 Apr '04

Hi, I'm having a hack at the code for arrow heads, but I've got myself properly confused. It seems that we have the SPItem class hierarchy (which contains SPMarker) and the repr tree, and that these are kept in sync with each other. So in which tree should I create my new marker object? AFAICS my alternatives are: 1. Do a sp_repr_new ("marker"), add it to the defs repr, set up the attributes using sp_repr_set_attr () etc. etc. 2. Create a SPMarker, and set up its struct with the required bits. So which should it be? And how to I propagate my changes from one tree to the other? I've just tried the first approach above and it works fine, except that the arrow heads only appear when you re-load the file. I think this is because a SPMarker is never created / initialised. Any enlightenment would be greatly appreciated. Carl

How to handle translation updates
by Arpad Biro 06 Apr '04

06 Apr '04

Hi, What would be the best way to handle translation updates? I'm asking because I don't want to bug you with an updated translation each day until release, and also don't want to take up SourceForge storage space with those "daily" translations. Maybe we should create a patch and then replace the attached translation file whenever that file changes. This would mean you would only have to commit only one "patch" for a language - just before the next Inkscape release. Any thoughts? Arpad Biro __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Roadmapping for 0.39-0.50
by Bryce Harrington 06 Apr '04

06 Apr '04

Hi all, This weekend we're going to try to flesh out the roadmap for the next dozen releases or so. Not to cast anything in stone but simply to identify what we'll need to implement when, and to outline priorities. In the old roadmap we had identified 0.39 for implementing Extensions, however that presupposed we'd be further along in terms of identifying an internal API to hook them to, and having some conceptual/design documentation. Instead, we're thinking of pushing that forward, and let the focus of 0.39 be the incorporation of the AST and ECMA work, that has been going on in two branches. As well, we'll finally pull in GtkMM and start work on converting code to use that, including a layers dialog. We also need to determine the internal API for hooking extensions, etc. to, since that's a major dependency for Extensions. So in general 0.39 would be a much more development focused release, and we'll encourage deep work on internals that we've discouraged previously due to stability concerns. We will advertise 0.39 as more of an experimental release and encourage users needing a high level of stability to stick with 0.38. How does this approach sound? Bryce P.S. If you're interested in giving feedback to the roadmap including longer term goals, join us on Jabber as we continue revising it. We'll update the high level roadmap on the main website as we go this weekend, and flesh out the detailed roadmap in wiki later on.

Jon, your share/examples/presentation takes 2Mb, and most of that is not even SVG. We discussed and decided that it does not really belong in the program distribution; this type of content is more for the web site. The examples directory is for demonstrating SVG/Inkscape techniques and uses. So I propose that we remove the presentation/ dir, and in the examples/ dir, leave one default-slide.svg as an example of a presentation slide in SVG. Instead, I just added a new gradient.svg that demoes the multi-stop and excentric gradients, and tiger.svgz which is sort of classic vector image, showing Inkscape speed and rendering quality (and also svgz support). Also, I added two new tricks to the Tips and Tricks tutorial and edited the rest to bring them up to date. Since we're releasing any day now, Jon, please complete your Elements and Austhetics tutorials, or if you cannot complete the second one on time, please remove it for now and re-add after the release. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Premium: Up to 11 personalized e-mail addresses and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=ht…

Inkscape Project Stats - April 4, 2004
by Bryce Harrington 06 Apr '04

06 Apr '04

Project Status Sunday, April 4, 2004 We've achieved the goal set forth for the 0.38 release. The ratio of open-to-closed bug reports has been reduced from 33% to our goal of 10%, representing over 160 bugs closed during the 0.38 development cycle. Of the total of 285 bugs registered against Inkscape since the project's inception, fewer than 30 remain. We're ready at this point to make the release, but want to do some final QA, doublecheck that the contributed translation work is incorporated, and see about getting a couple critical Windows bugs patched. Looking forward, we've greatly revised our roadmap, stretching it out as far as the 0.51 release. Note that our roadmap is a reflection of what developers anticipate needing/wanting to work on, rather than a cast-in-stone set of orders, and is expected to change as we learn more and as new developers with new interests get involved. For this next release, we'd previously identified Extensions as the focus, however we're not as far along in terms of design as we need to be, so instead have pushed that back a couple releases, and will be focusing on adopting first Pango in 0.39, then GtkMM in 0.40. The Pango adoption is expected to solve a wide number of rather deep bugs and fundamental limitations in the text system, while the GtkMM change has been long anticipated for helping us get the GUI code in better, more maintainable order.

Extensions API
by Bryce Harrington 05 Apr '04

For the extension API, I jotted down a few thoughts in Wiki: http://www.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ExtensionArchitectureProposals Let's try to gather enough ideas there that it'll be easier to write the real API when it comes time. Bryce

Pen tool UI modification
by Carl Hetherington 05 Apr '04

05 Apr '04

Hi, Should I post to the list when I submit a patch to the tracker? Or should discussion take place on the tracker? I'm not sure, so I'll post here about a patch I've just submitted. Currently, a right click while drawing a path with the pen opens the menu. This patch changes this behaviour so that a right click while creating a path aborts the current line segment and finishes the path. Justification for this behaviour: 1. AFAICS there is no way of aborting the current line segment, so if you single-click left when you meant to double-click you can't quickly undo your action. 2. There doesn't seem to be any use for the menu when you are actually in the process of drawing a line. Any thoughts welcome. Cheers Carl

Re: Spanish translation
by Arpad Biro 05 Apr '04

05 Apr '04

Hi, > I'm pretty sure there are some strings missing, but I just don't > know where to get them from. Here's how to make an absolutely up-to-date translation (someone please correct me if needed): 1. "cvs update" 2. build the current Inkscape in the usual way: autogen.sh, ./configure, ... 3. from the "po" directory: "../intltool-update --pot" 4. merge your existing translations into the new POT file (.pot): "msgmerge your_latest_PO_file .pot > new_PO_file" Then you just need to complete the translations in the PO file that was created in step 4.

Spanish translation
by Daniel Díaz 05 Apr '04

05 Apr '04

Hello all. Attached is the Spanish translation (for Mexico) of Inkscape. I'm pretty sure there are some strings missing, but I just don't know where to get them from. If anybody could point me to a webpage with translation resources, it would be great. Lucas, I changed a little bit the Ver menu. The Zoom Siguien_te and Zoom Ante_rior are now referenced with T & R (instead of T & T as for Siguien_te and An_terior). Therefore, Ventana ante_rior changes to Ventana anter_ior. I hope this makes sense and we don't have two different versions of shortcuts. Also, I changed the ALL_LINGUA value in configure.in for the autotools to grab this es_MX too. I don't know if that's the proper way to do this. I guess there are many things to know about translation and stuff. Fun ahead. Greetings. Daniel Díaz yosoy@...31...

win crash?
by bulia byak 04 Apr '04

04 Apr '04

>The latest build I can use is 040402 and the Freehand Tool problem is still >there. The crash is 100% repeatable, sometimes after a couple of strokes, >sometimes after a dozen or so. I am using Win2000. The screenshot is for a different bug, that was introduced on Apr 1 or 2 and fixed a day after that. With regard to John's problems I'm suspecting a different one which was introduced by Fred on March 23 and fixed by him after a few days, but maybe not completely (I could reproduce it on my win 98 before the fix but not now, yet John still has the same crashes on all builds since 23). So please test the latest build and report your results. Fred: I'm referring to the IntLigne::Copy crash which you fixed (at least for me). I'm not sure it's still the same crash, of course. John says node tool and freehand tool and bezier tool crash for him when Inkscape is run by itself, but never crash under gdb, so he can't get a backtrace. This suggests a timing issue somewhere. Also, his machine is faster (2100 mhz) than my windows machine, which may be why i don't get the crash and he does. I understand this information is vague, but maybe you can have an idea of what is going on? _________________________________________________________________ MSN Premium: Up to 11 personalized e-mail addresses and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=ht…

So in the remaning days, we must concentrate on the Windows side of things and try to fix as many bugs as possible there. In particular, John Cliff reported yesterday that he can still crash the latest build by doing freehand or node editing. I had the same several days ago, but then Fred fixed that, and now I cannot reproduce that crash on my windows 98 machine. Could anyone please report if they can crash a Windows build just by random freehand drawing or node editing?

Now investigating more: when I use your daily build040402 and replace the exe to that what I generate. The application crashes. when I am still in the build proccess and have that mingwenv.bat activ then its ok. Whithout this additional path-settings it doesn't work. (ie. start using explorer click) I have a German WinXP professional I am logged in as power-user. The icons.svg I mentioned was 1.13 from cvs. Version 1.5 is ok. Version 1.6 crashes.

save bug again
by bulia byak 03 Apr '04

03 Apr '04

Ted, I had to restore the code you deleted in file.cpp: const gchar *ext = sp_repr_attr(repr, "inkscape:output_extension"); if (ext == NULL) { // plain svg files do not know no inkscape:output_extensions; // old Inkscape or Sodipodi documents also don't have it // Save as Inkscape SVG in that case ext = SP_MODULE_KEY_OUTPUT_SVG_INKSCAPE; } success = file_save (doc, fn, Inkscape::Extension::db.get(ext)); because without it, it saved old inkscape documents (without inkscape:output_extension) as plain svg, thus effectively breaking them. If you want to do this differently, you can, but please test thoroughly, and maybe it's best not to change this any more until the release. The current CVS is tested and works, let's not break it again :) _________________________________________________________________ MSN Premium helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

Is current icons.svg corrupt?

Hello, I am a little bit nervous. I have some problems with the current CVS version. When I open icons.svg in an old version of inkscape then inkscape will crash. When I open icons.svg in Adobe I get "bad (singular) matrix()". Does someone has the same "effect"? Adib.

inkjar default?
by Kees Cook 03 Apr '04

Is there a reason why "inkjar" is not built by default? I looked through the archives, and it wasn't mentioned. Also, there do not appear to be any excessive dependencies for compiling it (zlib isn't a "strange" dependency, IMHO). Just curious! -- Kees Cook @outflux.net

unified XML and layers dialog?
by MenTaLguY 03 Apr '04

03 Apr '04

Once we've got this bug-fixing release out the door, I'm planning on putting more work into user-visible changes again. One of the ones that we've been slated for since the fork was a layers dialog. I've been thinking -- would it make sense to combine the layers and XML dialogs (maybe have them be on different tabs)? It seems to me that there's not much need to have them both displayed at once, so it might make sense to reduce the amount of screen real estate required by combining them. Obviously this would require that the XML dialog could be made smaller, though -- perhaps make the right hand side collapsable? What are your thoughts? -mental

Hi, Daniel Díaz and I (Lucas Vieites) are discussing the spanish translation and we are thinking about having separate translations for "Spain spanish" (es_ES) and "mexican spanish" (es_MX). Is this a mayor issue, or just uploading two files: "es_ES.po" and "es_MX.po" would solve it?

Hi Everyone, I'm interested in adding another calligraphy tool. I'm a calligrapher by way of a hobby, and I think it'd be fun to make a tool that behaved more like a broad-edged pen. What parts of the code do I need to copy and edit so as to make my new pen? And what parts of the code control how I will interface with my new pen tool?

Bryce and I were talking today, and I mentioned all the fun I had reading the "gettext" documentation on the various "special cases" that need attention when coding. He asked me to send in the sections I had noticed, just in case other folks hadn't seen these: Formatting with re-ordered printf-style elements http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_mono/gettext.html#SEC18 Plural forms beyond just english "one" and "more than one" http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_mono/gettext.html#SEC150 GUI menu contexts http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_mono/gettext.html#SEC151 Since I'm the average one-language-speaking American, I found these three sections very enlightening.

bug: Inkscape opens files in a new instance, the first instance leaves itself useless
by Artemio 02 Apr '04

02 Apr '04

Hello everybody! Sorry, sourceforge gives me "forum not found" when I try to go to "inkscape-tracker" list. I know this happens sometimes, but here's a little bug anyway. When you launch Inkscape, and, right away, use the "file->open" dialogue to open an existing SVG file, Inkscape opens another instance of itself and shows this file in there. This makes the first instance useless, you can't use it to open a file in it (you can use it to start drawing a new one). So, instead of opening a new window, Inkscape should open the given SVG in it's very first instance. Apologees if this has already been fixed. Artemio, the happy Inkspace user. -- A-Man ::: new music from Artemio ::: http://a-man.artemio.net [local time 19:11:18 (GMT +3) 2 April 2004] [system uptime 29 min]

Two features I would like
by Carl Hetherington 02 Apr '04

02 Apr '04

Hi, There's a couple of things that would take inkscape from the "interesting" to "useful" stage for me ;-) 1. Arrow heads. It looks like some work has been done on these. Anyone know the current state of play? In a previous message, Bryce discussed how they can be implemented with SVG markers; the message seemed to imply that the rendering support is already there. 2. Export to EPS. For my purposes, this would just have to get paths, text (though not necessarily font information) and fills right. Would there be any objections to a patch for this? Thanks Carl

exporting page background needed!!
by David Christian Berg 02 Apr '04

02 Apr '04

I'm kinda angry, cause I messed up 150 A3 color laser prints, 'cause inkscape does not give you the option of not using transparency while exporting. Point is, I made a plakat for a party at my university and when converting a png with transparency to cmyk, the transparency is lost and it's the color as solid. Since I only made the png and was not there when printing I didn't notice that I forgot to put a white rectangle in the background. You see, I actually had encountered about the problem before, but had just forgotten to draw that rect, cause you don't notice the difference in inkscape and don't always think about that kinda crap. It cannot be that hard to make a check box in the export dialog, that allows you to reduce the image without transparency. Gonna file a bug on this. Hope it'll be in 0.38. David

To hook up your translated tutorial, you just need to "translate" the corresponding filename in your language's po file, for example: #: src/interface.cpp:684 msgid "tutorial-basic.svg" msgstr "tutorial-basic.ru.svg" and submit the file tutorial-basic.ru.svg with your tutorial translation. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Premium: Up to 11 personalized e-mail addresses and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=ht…

The current setup with "save as" seems a bit >clunky and I think is confusing to people coming to Inkscape for the first >time. This is such a basic area that it should work easily and intuitively. Please be more detailed. With the recent changes in this area, and with the differences between linux/windows, it's difficult to understand what you are referring to. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN Premium.

>Are we on the same wavelength? Inkscape has been auto adding extension svg >for ages. For example in build 29 March. It certainly did not do that on Linux until today. So this should have been a Windows-only artefact :) Anyway, the newly added functionality (controlled by checkbox) is the preferred way to do it because it can be disabled, and that preference is saved. If a Windows build does not have the checkbox or does not obey it, please file a bug and/or contact Ted Gould who authored this. _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the MSN Premium and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=ht…

> > Another thing...why do we have extensions in the save and open dialog > > that don't work. Which one does not work? I see three formats there: compressed SVG, SVG with and without extensions. All three work fine. >Agreed. And why do we default to SVG plus extension namespace on "save as", >rather than straight SVG? Because "straight SVG" is for special occasions only. It loses a lot of Inkscape functionality. In fact, it's more of an export than save. Normally, you want to store your Inkscape documents as SVG with extensions, so this is justifiably the default. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Premium helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

Since this message also speaks about filename extensions, it's rather confusing. I changed it to: "No Inkscape extension found to save document (%s). This may have been caused by an unknown filename extension." _________________________________________________________________ MSN Premium with Virus Guard and Firewall* from McAfee� Security : 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=ht…

Release - Need translations
by Ted Gould 01 Apr '04

01 Apr '04

Well, we're really close. We need 1 more bug to get to our 10%, and there are two candidates for being fixed (the more the better though). I think that we'll probably release at the end of the weekend, or very early next week. If you're someone who is translating Inkscape, if you could get the translations in by the end of the weekend I think we can get them into 0.38. I don't think any strings will be changed between now and then. Also, I've updated all the .po files in CVS - so they should have all the strings in them now. Thanks, Ted

Right, strictly speaking sharpness also depends on the angular positions of handles - skewed tips are sharper than straight ones with the same radii. However the label must be one word, maximum two, as long explanations won't fit. Please feel free to propose a better one-word term than "sharpness". >I see it now. What I tried was to raise only 1 item of a group (after >Ctrl+clicking it), and Inkscape did not raise this item above an >ungroupped object -- but this was a bad thing to test with, because >Inkscape does not give this message then. There's no error message because it's not an error - it does in fact moves the selected object within its group. So this may be not what you expected, but it's a successful operation from Inkscape viewpoint, and we don't report on successes (with some exceptions, such as "Document saved."). >The point I was trying to make with all this is that we are talking >about "different groups or layers", but those objects do not both have >to be in a group, and we have only 1 layer in Inkscape right now. So >if you take a root-level, ungroupped object and try to group it with >an already groupped single item, then it's strange to receive this >message telling that they are from a different group (one of them is >ungroupped) or layer (there's no layer). Right, more correct would be "You cannot raise/lower objects from different groups or layers, or grouped objects together with ungrouped ones", but IMHO it's too wordy, and the part after comma adds nothing really useful for the user, it's kinda implied. What do others think? _________________________________________________________________ MSN Premium: Up to 11 personalized e-mail addresses and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=ht…

[Hello all. This is mostly related to the project, so in case anyone understands Spanish, here it goes] Hola, qué tal. On Mon, 2004-03-29 at 19:47, Ricardo Ortiz Coronado wrote: > Mira, mi idea es algun dia poder pasarme al soft GNU algun dia no muy > lejano, Fíjate que ya hay quien se pasa prácticamente todo el día en Linux usando software libre para sus composiciones. Bulia Byak, uno de los desarrolladores, por ejemplo, dice que se pasa ahí las horas y lo usa para sus trabajos. Eso resulta bastante bueno porque donde encuentra que algo le duele al software, luego luego hace una modificación y lo mejora. ¡Ya quisiéramos todos tener su habilidad para programar tan bien! > soy diseñador grafico y como podras ver, realmente no hay mucho de > donde escoger, aunque veo sof con mucho futuro, ¡Bastante! Inkscape ha evolucionado de una forma increíble en el poco tiempo que ha existido. Desde que se separó de Sodipodi, el rol de Inkscape le da nuevos bríos al diseño gráfico con software libre. > podria ayudar en la parte de > traduccion, no por mi sino por medio de un amigo que me traduce. Eso sería bastante bueno. Ya Lucas Vieites Fariña <lucas@...212...> tomó las riendas de la traducción al español, y también dijo que le iba a dar atención al tutorial. Sería bueno que lo contactaras para ver si de esa forma se puede formar un equipo de traducción al español para Inkscape. > tambien > puedo testear el soft en un rip Postcript para ver la salida a preprensa. > (donde trabajo hay una fotocomponedora) pero el inconveniente es la salida > de impresion del InkScape. ¡Suena como que muy bien! Pero... ¿qué es un rip? Ahí disculparás, pero lo del diseño gráfico no es lo mío, y por ello no conozco la jerga. Me imagino que es algo particular de las imprentas, así que si puedes experimentar con eso e Inkscape, ¡pues sería fabuloso reportar los resultados en el grupo! Hasta donde yo sé, Inkscape sí tiene unos problemas para exportar a PostScript, y es que nadie se ha dado a la tarea de actualizar ese filtro de salida. Siempre que sale a colación en la lista dicen: "¿Alguien que quiera tomar ese pendiente?", así que habrá que esperar al menos a que esté en los planes, porque la versión 0.38 es más que nada para eliminar bugs. > Bueno por favor orientame donde puedo enviar mis > comentarios, o que te parece si te los envio. > Gracias por contestarme. Hombre, no hay problema. Me los puedes enviar a mí, pero yo soy sólo un amigo del proyecto. Lo mejor sería dirigir todas tus inquietudes al grupo. Es más, si puedes lanzarte al chat (está en Jabber, pero no recuerdo en dónde), mejor, para que platiques con Bryce y todos ellos. > Te comento que estoy probando el scribus y me ha > parecido fabuloso, bueno no es un Quark pero ahi vamos. Saludos ¡De acuerdo! No es lo mejor, pero sí que es bueno. Scribus también ha tenido bastante progreso, y lo mejor de todo es que hay buenas relaciones entre la gente de Scribus y la de Inkscape, porque quieren asegurar que exista buena comunicación de archivos entre uno y otro producto. Cosas muy buenas van a salir de esa relación, vas a ver. Espero que no te moleste que haya mandado copia de este correo al grupo. Así que aquí andamos para lo que se ofrezca. ¡Saludos!
