Buildd failures on Launchpad
by Krzysztof Kosiński 03 Nov '13

03 Nov '13

Hello Recently I'm getting mails about Launchpad build failure reports for the inkscape-trunk package. The log seems to suggest that it's not our fault (some dependency problems apparently), but it looks interesting for different reasons: 1. We have Gimp and bash-completion as a build dependency. Why on earth is that? 2. One of the unmet dependencies is libxml-parser-perl. Why do we require this? It looks like we have just four extensions written in Perl - perhaps we could rewrite them in Python and avoid Perl as a hard dependency. Regards, Krzysztof

clang-format
by Johan Engelen 01 Nov '13

01 Nov '13

Hi all, clang-format seems like a great tool to reformat our whole codebase once and for all, and keep it that way. I've added a configuration file "_clang-format" to trunk, hoping that others can have a look at it too and tweak the settings for our project. Can you have a look at this Krzysztof? (my bigger ambition is to run clang-format on the whole codebase after we branch-off the next release) Thanks, Johan

clipping and filters, import and export for formats other than SVG?
by mathog 30 Oct '13

30 Oct '13

SVG supports both clipping and filters. Some other formats do as well, for instance, EMF+, (although the supported filters do not match very well between SVG and EMF+). I can see how one would convert those features from other graphics formats to SVG during import (more or less). However, for output to another file type I do not see where either the clipping or filters would be passed, perhaps buried in style? I thought that maybe the clipping was applied upstream somehow, so that the driver level would just draw what was left, but could not test the idea because it seems that clipping has some problems in Trunk right now. For instance, I found this SVG example on the web: http://svg-whiz.com/svg/clipRect.svg and while it loaded into Inkscape (linux or Windows) without throwing a warning or error, and the contents show up in the XML editor, nothing is visible on the screen. That example works in 0.48.4, but not r12721. Thanks, David Mathog mathog@...1176... Manager, Sequence Analysis Facility, Biology Division, Caltech

message: 8 svg width 100%
by Jelle Mulder 30 Oct '13

30 Oct '13

Krzysztof, <svg width='100%' height='100%' xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' xmlns:xlink='http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink'> This actually is valid SVG and can be quite useful for web design (I would use only one direction BTW). I always found it a pity Inkscape does so little with % as part of the beauty of SVG is the use of such values for scaling of objects. I believe % are not accepted in Inkscape and setting the size of an object to 50% will just scale the object rather than make it set to 50% values. Use case for it is for web designs that align objects to a centre point, scale rects to 20% of the right edge of the screen etc. It is valid SVG, but probably a lot of work to implement. Now though I always have to handcode that kind of stuff, so it would be way cool to let Inkscape set those values. Basically all you need to know is the size of the user screen, which can't be that hard either. Think how easy it would be to use % for doing hatch patterns, using nothing but a dash array and a line in a clip area the size of the object the hatching should be in. One line, line hatch + dash array, two lines + dash array, cross hatch with patterns. It renders fine in a browser. At least Inkscape can figure out that 100% should display the document in the screen resolution in this example.

Spurious warnings
by Johan Engelen 29 Oct '13

29 Oct '13

Hi all, I've been going through a (really small) number of compile warnings and stumbled upon this one: src/2geom/generic-interval.h: In member function 'Geom::Rect Inkscape::Filters::FilterPrimitive::filter_primitive_area(const Inkscape::Filters::FilterUnits&)': src/2geom/generic-interval.h:65:9: warning: 'y' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] src/display/nr-filter-primitive.cpp:146:12: note: 'y' was declared here src/2geom/generic-interval.h:65:9: warning: 'x' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] src/display/nr-filter-primitive.cpp:145:12: note: 'x' was declared here (GCC 4.6.1 (tdm-1) on Windows) The warning seems bogus to me, the value is certainly correctly initialized, and I've added code to check that everything that is assigned to it is also initialized. What fixes the warning is changing the first lines of that function Geom::OptRect const fa_opt = units.get_filter_area(); if (!bb_opt || !fa_opt) { return Geom::Rect (Geom::Point(0.,0.), Geom::Point(0.,0.)); } Geom::Rect const &bb = *bb_opt; Geom::Rect const &fa = *fa_opt; to Geom::OptRect const fa_opt = units.get_filter_area(); if (!bb_opt || !fa_opt) { return Geom::Rect (Geom::Point(0.,0.), Geom::Point(0.,0.)); } Geom::Rect const &bb = *bb_opt; Geom::Rect const &fa = *units.get_filter_area(); No joke... So, in conclusion: it will be impossible to compile with -Werror for now :'(, due to spurious compiler warnings that can't be avoided without hurting the code. (another one is templated functions with a signed comparison logic, that are then instantiated with unsigned template arguments...) Disappointing :-( Johan (PS. thanks for the help in fixing this)

lib2geom Mac OS X build
by Laurent Zubiaur 29 Oct '13

29 Oct '13

Hi, I managed to build lib2geom on OS X. Since it was not an easy task I thought it might be useful to share the information with the community. I planned to write a small tutorial and make it available soon. But first I'd like to request some advice regarding the following issues I faced during the build. 1. Avoid glib dependency I wanted to link lib2geom against my application without having to link against glib too so I replaced the following line in src/2geom/svg-path-parser.cpp: _push(g_ascii_strtod(buf.c_str(), NULL)); with _push(strtod(buf.c_str(), NULL)); and removed the glib.h include. 2. Removing librt Since librt does not exist in OS X (and is not required too) I removed the following line in src/2geom/toys/CMakeLists.txt TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(lpetoy "-lrt") TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(toy-2 "-lrt") 3. Call to pow is ambiguous Call to the pow function is ambiguous so I forced the call with casting by replacing pow( ..., ... ) with pow( (double) ..., (double) …) in the following files: boolops-topo.cpp intersect-data.cpp levelsets-test.cpp pencil-2.cpp pencil.cpp sb-to-bez.cpp sketch-fitter.cpp sweeper-toy.cpp 4. clock_gettime does not exist on OS X In src/2geom/toys/toy-framework-2.h I replaced the following code snippet: #ifdef WIN32 clock_gettime(clock, &ts); ns = ts.tv_sec * NS_PER_SECOND + ts.tv_nsec / NS_PER_NS; #else ns = 0; #endif with #ifdef __MACH__ // OS X does not have clock_gettime, use clock_get_time clock_serv_t cclock; mach_timespec_t mts; host_get_clock_service(mach_host_self(), CALENDAR_CLOCK, &cclock); clock_get_time(cclock, &mts); mach_port_deallocate(mach_task_self(), cclock); ts.tv_sec = mts.tv_sec; ts.tv_nsec = mts.tv_nsec; ns = ts.tv_sec * NS_PER_SECOND + ts.tv_nsec / NS_PER_NS; #elif WIN32 clock_gettime(clock, &ts); ns = ts.tv_sec * NS_PER_SECOND + ts.tv_nsec / NS_PER_NS; #else ns = 0; #endif and add the required includes at the beginning of the file. #ifdef __MACH__ # include <mach/clock.h> # include <mach/mach.h> #endif See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5167269/clock-gettime-alternative-in-mac… 5. Cannot compile pw-toy.cpp I was not able to compile src/2geom/toys/pw-toy.cpp so I simply disable it in src/2geom/toys/CmakeLists.txt. src/2geom/toys/pw-toy.cpp:48:30: error: variable length array of non-POD element type 'Piecewise<Geom::SBasis>' Piecewise<SBasis> pws[curves]; 6. Missing return value Added “return 0;” at the end of the function “cmpy” in uncross.cpp. src/2geom/toys/uncross.cpp:175:5: error: control may reach end of non-void function [-Werror,-Wreturn-type] That's all! :) Thanks in advance Regards.

Inkscape Release Report 4
by Martin Owens 29 Oct '13

29 Oct '13

Hey Devs, This is another report on how our release items are shaping up. The past two weeks we've got the same three blockers: Blockers: 3 * High #1163449 Imported bitmap appear blurry when zoomed in * Medium #953992 Imported pattern fill disappears while transforming * Medium #1005892 Patterns applied to text objects are blurred I don't know if 953992 is still really in progress, but we should make sure the bug status is kept up to date. If you're working on one of these bugs, do set the status so duplication is avoided. We have 59 targeted bugs for the next release. That's +10 from two weeks ago. http://tiny.cc/q3y34w If you can see a bug you can fix, give it a go. Any help is useful. Status: Release Readiness Freeze: None Thanks for everyone's work in the past two weeks towards release. Best Regards, Martin Owens

plotter support
by TimeWaster 28 Oct '13

28 Oct '13

hi, nice to hear that there will be a new release soon. i would like to add something to the release: out of the basic hpgl export i have developed a complete plotter solution for inkscape (yes, i know of inkcut, but it doesn't run on windows), with it you can drive your plotter directly over the HPGL command language and a serial connection. it has overcut, tool offset correction and many more features. two of my blog readers have already tested it extensively. you can test it on my branch: https://code.launchpad.net/~sebi-k/inkscape/HpglAndPlotter i would like to get it into the 0.49 (or whatever it will be called) release, and i have a couple of questions about it: 1. is it ok to merge to trunk now? 2. what wiki / release notes / other stuff do i have to bring up to date to reflect my changes? 3. anything else i have to consider? 4. how are code review requests done here? i didnt found much about it... also it would be really nice if everyone with a plotter / cutting plotter could test it! regards, TimeWaster On 28.10.2013 15:22, Martin Owens wrote: > Hey Devs, > > This is another report on how our release items are shaping up.

EPS export: different results for level 2 and level 3
by Oliver Kopp 28 Oct '13

28 Oct '13

Hi, I'm trying to export a BPMN diagram modeled with Oryx using Inkscape to EPS. When using EPS level 3, opened boxes are converted to closed ones. When using EPS level 2, the graphics seems to be converted to images. Does anyone experience similar issues when exporting EPS level 2 vs. level 3? I tried to create a minimum example and attached it to the bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1245413. Cheers, Oliver

Post-merge EMF work
by Krzysztof Kosiński 24 Oct '13

24 Oct '13

The cross-platform EMF/WMF support that was merged recently needs some cleanups. 1. libunicode-convert. I don't exactly see why this particular set of functions was separated into a mini-library; I would expect that to be part of libuemf. It is also somewhat misleadingly named. I would name these files e.g. ms-symbol-font-utils.[hc]. 2. I think libuemf should be in a separate directory, like libcola, not tucked away in src/extension/internal. 3. The new code should be made to conform to the Inkscape coding style. In most places it's a matter of running the code through astyle to fix the spacing, but in some cases manual adjustments are needed. For example, the function names in libunicode-convert are utterly non-descriptive ('isNon()' and 'CanUTN()' are not good names for library functions), and the return statements in src/extension/emf-inout.cpp incorrectly use parentheses around return values. http://staging.inkscape.org/en/develop/coding-style/ 4. Some functions, such as msdepua(), have a rather strange mode of operation, modifying the string in place. The interface of those should be changed so that they are easier to use. Regards, Krzysztof

OS X Mavericks and C++
by David Evans 24 Oct '13

24 Oct '13

OS X Mavericks (10.9) is released today (Free upgrade in App Store.) Please see the following email to MacPorts developers today concerning C++ compatibility and need to build with clang++. Note that inkscape (0.48.4) is a current issue because it doesn't build with clang++. I'm hoping that backporting the current upstream patches concerning clang compatibility for this branch will solve the problem. Dave Evans devans@...2376...

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Version number
by Jared Meidal 22 Oct '13

22 Oct '13

I've seen documentation of roadmaps and releases refer to the version numbering as possibly up for consideration of revision: "Evaluate changing the numbering scheme to a date-based one, or setting more realistic goals for major (1.0, 2.0) releases" <http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Roadmap> I can see the next major release after 0.48.x as a candidate for change as the "9'er" may lend itself toward a new scheme. * 0.49.0 --> 0.90.0 (followed by 1.0, 1.1, 2.0...) * 0.49.0 --> Inkscape 9 (followed by Inkscape 9.1, 10.0...) There have been a lot of excellent developments to be release in the next release, including C++, cairo, alignment/distribution along with new possible builds on win64-bit (Partha's help), and native Mac OS X (some almost-ready builds are out there). If these all reach maturity for the release the new builds are providing an increase audience and userbase. A changing version numbering scheme could reflect the developers' acknowledgement of this and demonstrate the activity of the software project. Just IMHO, --Jared

Hi, in 2geom/coord.h there is an epsilon defined as 1e-5. This is used in many ways, e. g. in Geom::are_near, . Now I'm wondering why this value is that big. This causes at least one problem, see the last two comments here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1231990 Is there any reason why "1e-18" has been commented out? Regards, Markus

how to save last tool selection?
by Yale Zhang 21 Oct '13

21 Oct '13

Hello. Does anyone know how I can save and restore the last tool selection on startup? You might ask why bother, but for my use case, I want Inkscape to always start out with the eraser tool selected when I'm using the eraser end of my pen (event source GDK_SOURCE_ERASER), to save me from having to tap the erase tool with the eraser end of the pen. Is there any reason why this isn't the default behavior? If saving the tool selection isn't implemented, can someone show how to programatically change the tool selection for the eraser to be the eraser? Appreciate your help, Yale

mouse and tablet touch input lose focus after using Wacom pen

Hello. I think I've found another bug in either Inkscape or GTK: I have a Wacom Intuos 5 and whenever I use my pen, I can no longer use the mouse wheel or 2 finger touch to zoom in and out. It seems the problem is the window loses focus after using the pen. Has anyone else noticed this problem or can propose where to trace to fix the problem? I'm using the latest trunk version and Windows 8.1, but this problem also exists in 48.4. Thanks for helping, Yale

Bug Counts on Website
by Martin Owens 19 Oct '13

19 Oct '13

Hey Devs, I've got the django-cms-launchpad plugin working. The first integration is pulling in bug counts for certain bug queries. You can see an examples on this page: http://staging.inkscape.org/en/develop/ What I've done is added a launchpad bug count widget when editing the CMS. You can add them too. Just edit the page, edit the text widget and add a bug count as you might an image. It links back to launchpad if you click on it. The widget has options for what tags, milestones and other items you may want to search for. Not all fields are there yet, but I'm open to requests from our bug managers about what's important to get an over view of. The low/medium/high counts are for colouring. Below low it's grey/white, low>yellow>medium>orange>high>red and this can be used to give us a quick visual on whatever we want to track. Next feature for the django-cms-launchpad plugin is to format our blueprints into a roadmap page. This won't be a widget, but a page and targeted blueprints will be used to generate the list. Martin,

Hello All, A while ago, there was a discussion about the numbering of the next release. "0.49" doesn't exactly instill confidence in the completeness of the application.

Only Three Blockers Left!
by Martin Owens 18 Oct '13

18 Oct '13

Hey Devs, This is the bi-weekly report on our release-hope goal: Blockers: 3 * High #1163449 Imported bitmap appear blurry when zoomed in * Medium #953992 Imported pattern fill disappers while transforming * Medium #1005892 Patterns applied to text objects are blurred If you can fix one of these, please do. We can use all the help to debug, locate the errors causing these regressions and fix them. These blockers are high priority for our project goals. We have 49 targeted bugs for the release: http://tiny.cc/q3y34w If you see something that you could easily fix, then this is a great way to make the next inkscape version better. I want to make a special mention of novalis' flowText fallback branch. It's going through review right now but I want to give my biggest amazed thanks to Novalis for tacking this difficult and long standing problem. See the review here: https://code.launchpad.net/~novalis/inkscape/fix-167335/+merge/190297 Keep up the good work everyone! Exciting to see so much work get done. Best Regards, Martin Owens
