documentation on the Perl component?
by Bric 26 Mar '13

I can't find any documentation on the Perl component. When I compiled 0.48.4 I used --with-perl, which looked promising. How do I use this component? thanks

units (revisited)
by Bric 25 Mar '13

25 Mar '13

Hi Not sure if this belongs to the "devel" mailing list (maybe tangentially, if it leads to enhancements?) I know this has been addressed before, but I couldn't find the final resolution to all the questions (here's a related post that doesn't seem to clinch it: http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=10646) I have the same problem: via the command line I'm getting one type of value, but in the SVG document a different value is listed. COMMAND LINE: inkscape -f doc.svg --query-x --query-id=rect4487-1-7 139.43438 inkscape -f doc.svg --query-y --query-id=rect4487-1-7 128.13251 WITHIN THE SVG DOCUMENT: <rect id="rect4487-1-7" ry="0.53296167" height="1.0654094" width="10.142718" y="72.914459" x="79.345848" style="fill:currentColor" /> Also, within the svg doc, the dimensions are: width="315" height="206" And thus the above can't seem to account for the discrepancy, by means of origin position adjustment (width - x, height - y) So far, it looks like different units are used. thanks

Re: [Inkscape-devel] New contributor (we have new code!) that we need to help
by Ted Janeczko 24 Mar '13

24 Mar '13

Hi, Thank you so much for the very warm welcome! I look forward to working with you and contributing more code upstream! Josh, I subscribed to the mailing list, but for some reason I haven't been getting emails from it... I tried to resubscribe, hopefully that works! Tav, that sounds like a fantastic birthday party! I've done quite a bit of looking into the internal workings of SPObjects when I created the objects dialog, and I think I have a decent understanding of how everything is updated, but it does get very confusing due to gobject obscurities... If it would help out, I can take a closer look into this and start documenting the process so that it will be easier to work with in the future. When I created the objects dialog patch to submit upstream, I went through my code, added comments, reorganized, and fixed as many bugs as I could find. The blurring crash that you're referring to is most likely due to a linked-list error, which I also encountered in my testing and hopefully fixed in the patch. I also reworked styling the buttons, so the up/down arrows should hopefully now have tooltips (although it may still be unclear as to what they do, so a more descriptive tooltip may be needed). The random hiding of objects with drag-and-drop appears to be a weird side effect of the workaround for supporting multiple items. To fix this, I added a flag in the patch which gets set if the mouse-down event occurs over the visible column. When the mouse is released, if this flag is not set the visibility toggle will not be triggered. In my tests, it seemed that only the visibility column was being triggered, so I didn't add flags for the other columns, but they could easily be added if issues pop up in the future. In the latest Ponyscape release, there is an issue with re-selecting items when they've been moved via drag-and-drop that causes a lot of assertion errors (which may be the errors that you were seeing). I store the source SPItems in a vector, which I iterate over and move on a drop operation. I was also using this vector to select the items post-move, but they no longer referred to the correct SPItem (due to how SPObjects are built and moved). In the patch, I now store the ID's of the items before they're moved in a different vector and use that for fetching and selecting the items after the move. Moving items between layers and into and out of groups is currently only able to be done through drag-and-drop... It would be possible to add buttons similar to the XML editor, but that may overcrowd the UI. This functionality could also be added to the right-click menu, which might be a better solution. You can already group and ungroup items using the right-click menu (along with clipping and masking items). If you notice anything else or have any suggestions on improving things, let me know and I'll take a look into it! I am planning on doing the same process of reviewing, commenting, and bugfixing my code before creating a patch for the tags dialog, and will definitely be sure to keep in mind all of the points you brought up about it. In the top revision of Ponyscape I have already added the ability to rename objects in the tags dialog, and I will look into the rest of the items that you have brought up! I may eventually move Ponyscape development into a branch on launchpad... For the time being I am using a repository on a local server, which has been working out so far, but I can definitely see where it would be beneficial to have a public branch as well. Looking forward to working more with the development team!

New/Update LPE Sketch
by Jabiertxo Arraiza Cenoz 23 Mar '13

23 Mar '13

The number of lines to draw can be get by tree ways: 1.- Changing the default value when alter the number of lines, im not sure if can be done, but is what like more. 2.-Search in the SVG the value of the widget number of lines in the first filter -last applied- of this LPE 3.-By preferences. I dont like this, not intuitive. Hi, Jabier.

New/Update LPE Sketch
by Jabiertxo Arraiza Cenoz 23 Mar '13

23 Mar '13

Hi to all. Im thinking in a aditional LPE based in Sketch LPE. The goal is: A simple LPE whith few widgets maybe only this one: Select the number of lines to draw. When you draw a pen stroke it create this numbrer of lines whith a random seed position of nodes. but cobering all path whith random ofset at start and at end. The finality is made a speed sketch tool, in the current Sketch LPE the calculations to made a rich "Sketch" slow the drawing speed because you neeed a lot of lines to cover the full path. By this way only need to calculate a delimited number of lines. This is like more lines more beauty but more slow, few lines faster redraw. Who thik this feature interesant? think is very easy to make, and it can go whith a filter Sketch layer, to select the number of lines and if you want Spriro or ?BSpline. This aditional live effects are because a live effect in a layer hide the filter effects of his children. But isnt a problem because is only to ?starting sketchs. It can be done in the pencil tool, but with Live Effect isnt "destructive" and maybe user can hide the effect, alter a path is more easy, and maybe more easy to made, but is only my opinion. Hi, Jabier.

Updates in Bspline branch.
by Jabiertxo Arraiza Cenoz 23 Mar '13

23 Mar '13

Hi to all. Y apply some fixes that Mauro give to me. *Simmetrical, smooth, auto, node toolbar now only give or a 0.3334 weight BSpline or a CUSP node. *Fixed a bad brehaviour continuing existing curves *Pencil mode work in bsline mode *Fixed widgets of LPE Mauro tell me about a problem/feature scaling some nodes and moving them, they reset to original position, it happens in the devel version? Now the widgets work better, i have some problems whith the button widget, some times is necesary press two times to update the scalar list. Mauro, coment me is a good point apply custom weight only to selected paths, whats is the best way to have a vector of selected nodes/points insde a LPE? By, Jabier.

"superdropper"
by Bric 23 Mar '13

23 Mar '13

Hi, guys: This just reached a critical "must-express" pressure in my head: I've been periodically, over the last few years, missing this (yet non-existent?) feature for a dropper, in Inkscape (as well as in other image editors). An enhanced version of a dropper, which does the following: It's able to "suck up" the attributes of an object (similar to what it's already doing), and then "drip them out" onto one OR MORE (multiple!) objects, as the user wishes. The sampled (sucked up) attributes could stay in the dropper buffer, indefinitely... until the user replaces them with another dropper "suction". In addition, it would be nice to expand the number of attribute types the dropper can disperse, and, of course, let the user check/uncheck the attributes that are being copied and dispersed. [x] fill [x] stroke color [x] stroke thickness - absolute units [x] stroke thickness - proportional/adjusted to the transform magnification (not sure about this one, just a thought) [x] opacity [x] alpha [x] a variety of other attributes, like roundness, etc. (limited to certain objects, perhaps) [x] funky, crazy user-assigned things, like "reduce to same number of nodes" -- OK, maybe i'm going too far here... [x] I might be missing many many other great additions to this list; i'm sure others would suggest more stuff. ------------------ So... with this superdropper I'd be able to click on a path/object, and then, holding down some drip/endow control key combo (like, "Ctrl+Alt[+click]", or some such) click on object(s) TO WHICH I WOULD PASS these attributes — as many objects as I like, in succession..., without re-sampling (without sucking in attributes) ------------------- It seems like code-wise, it shouldn't be that difficult. -------------------- I was checking out the 0.48 dropper, and it is already capable of copying either the stroke color or the fill color, distinctly, and there's already a button tool bar to go with it. (But it doesn't seem to be able to do a series of "drip-outs" onto many objects.) -------------------- As far as I know this is my original idea, and I'd like to "bequeath" it to Inkscape and other GPL-licensed applications. So, just to be sure no commercial app hijacks this feature (the concept/algorithm) and claims it as its own (and prevents open-source apps from acquiring it), I hereby declare the afore-mentioned feature to be under the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE, v3, as spelled out by the Free Software Foundation. Again, this is just in case it hasn't been developed yet, although i'm actually hard-pressed to believe that it doesn't yet exist somewhere, and in case there's a looming threat of some commercial-venture grabbing the feature before it gets integrated into some GPL'ed app (hopefully into Inkscape) ------------------------------ Thanks!

New tools
by Dennis Coyle III 23 Mar '13

23 Mar '13

I'm not new to programming but definitely rusty. Coming back into it for the first time in c++ has been a bit jarring. I am looking to create a couple tools to experiment with and was wondering the best way to go about it. One will use a lot of functionality of knots but I'm not sure as to how hard it would be to subclass the knot and remove (what I believe is) the element constraint. (tell me if i'm mixing terms here). Any leads to a good subclassing refesher (i.e. what includes I really need in the subclass etc.) would be extremely beneficial. Thanks.

New contributor (we have new code!) that we need to help
by Josh Andler 21 Mar '13

21 Mar '13

Hey all, I submitted a new "report" based around a patch submitted from the primary developer of Ponyscape (an Inkscape derivative project focused on making life easier for artists interested in creating My Little Pony fan art). Check out the first new patch he has submitted upstream at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1157024 I've talked with him a bit and he's really doing some good work at a rapid pace, but as we know, we don't have the same leeway upstream to add features that may change on a regular basis. So, he sees Ponyscape as a good testing ground to let things have some time to mature and ripen and then he will submit patches upstream. He also doesn't want to step on any toes or anything. That first patch is for a long awaited feature. If others would be willing to test and do some code review, it will help us to establish a tighter relationship with Ted. He's already met the 2 patch requirement and has commit access, but he really wants feedback and to get things right before stuff is committed. My guess is with the amount of divergence and level of changes he makes, this patch vs direct commit paradigm might be around for a while (he has a lot of irons in the fire for new/improved features). My view is that I don't mind doing this side of things provided other devs will be willing to help test and give feedback. Cheers, Josh

First window opens at UL corner of screen (Linux)?
by mathog 20 Mar '13

20 Mar '13

One of my test machines is Ubuntu 12.04. Workt there id done remotely, over an SSH tunnel to a Cygwin X11 server, which is running on Windows XP. Whenever a new Inkscape window opens on that linux box (not the pop ups, but the first start and new document windows) that window is placed with its upper left corner exactly at the upper left corner of the screen. As a consequence the top and left parts of the window frame are off the screen. This is inconvenient since it puts the majority of the frame controls where they cannot be accessed. (Clicking once on the bottom of the frame shifts it down a couple of pixels, but that is a very inconvenient thing to have to do for every window.) Windows builds do not do this - the whole frame is within the screen when a window opens. Is the behavior seen on linux the result of some munged up configuration on my one machine, or is that what Inkscape is supposed to do on a linux/unix/OS X environment? If so, could the default start position maybe be changed to be 5 pixels down and to the right, so that there is at least a sliver of the top and side frame available to grab? Thanks, David Mathog mathog@...1176... Manager, Sequence Analysis Facility, Biology Division, Caltech

Spirolive+BSpline widgets ready
by Jabiertxo Arraiza Cenoz 20 Mar '13

20 Mar '13

Hi to all. A branch of Spirolive+BSpline is release, changes are: *pencil BSpline mode fixed. *fix crash making cusp nodes whith the node toolbar or shortcut *fix crash when apply BSpline to grpups *right click to close curve dont show menu when are just over the last point *double click on handle to reset default (SBasis point at 33.3334). *snap/steps moving handles with CTRL parametriced by widget. *button widget to reset to defaults *checkbox widget to ignore cusp node when change widgets *scalar widget to change the weight of the bsplines TODO: I couldent update the widget weight value when pressing reset default button, the curve change, the new value of the parameter is saved but the visible value not change, you need to unselect/select the item or unselect/select the BSpline item in lpe list to update. Whith node tool this problem not sucedd. Thanks to ~suv and Johan Engelen to make posibol this updates. Feedback are welcome! lp:~jabiertxof/inkscape/0.49.x+SpiroLive+BSpline

node operations
by Bric 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

Hi, (1) Is there any progress on being able to highlight just a subset of nodes and extract that subset as a path? (paste as a separate, "stand-alone" path) (I realize the algorithm may not be straightforward — particularly if one makes some crazy non-continuous node selection — like, selecting every third node (rather than a subpath with all its consecutive nodes), but maybe there's already some default, "make-the-best-guess" function which would take a bunch of such nodes and figure out which ones are sequenced and how (and link them into a path), based on the parent sequences, and for those that it can't figure that out, just leave them disconnected/isolated, and let the user connect them afterwards) (2) alignment operators: it would be nice to be able to align node A to node B. Or, IOW, stipulate that A move to B (its vertical or horizontal value), but B itself not move. Or aligning a set of nodes — A,B,C to node D, where node D doesn't move. (As I understand it now, the vertical/horizontal align function positions all the nodes to some type of averaged value ? )

Hi to all. Some users have problem with the BSpline and Spirolive branch for windows. Brainless offer to me compile it to windows. Its hard, but finaly hi locate the problem whith some fonts, he think is solved and finaly can make the executable. But other user have the same problem, whith fonts and when open preferences dialog, inkscape crash. I think the problem isnt in the modifications added to the branch... Any body whith knoweledge in windowd, and some english..., could help to me to help this users? Or do directly. Post: http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=13496 Thanks, Jabier.

bunch of pango-warning messages on Windows associated with new(er) devlibs
by mathog 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

Upgraded today from devlibs 41 to 45. Rebuilt. When inkscape starts up on windows now it emits the bushel of warnings shown below. Only the last one (about the registry key, which is harmless) is familiar to me. All of the font related ones seem to have come in somewhere between devlibs 41 and 45. These do not appear when a linux build starts, and I know that most of these fonts are not present on my linux test system. How do we make these messages go away? Note, I looked in C:\Windows\Fonts and these messages correspond to font files shown there with a big "A" icon and having the file extension ".FON". These are bitmap fonts which are, I believe, only present for backwards compatibility, in case one needs to run a W95 program or something like that. Apparently these messages tell us that Pango has no idea how to open a .FON file. Surely there is no reason to tell us that over and over though! Is there not some pango configuration parameter that would cause it to ignore files found in the font directory which are not types it knows how to handle?

For branch lp988601 today doing bzr revert bzr update The build procedure was broken: make CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && /bin/bash /usr/local/src/inkscape_lp988601/missing --run aclocal-1.11 cd . && /bin/bash /usr/local/src/inkscape_lp988601/missing --run automake-1.11 --foreign configure.ac:19: required directory ./build-aux does not exist configure.ac:64: required file `build-aux/compile' not found configure.ac:64: `automake --add-missing' can install `compile' configure.ac:20: required file `build-aux/config.guess' not found configure.ac:20: `automake --add-missing' can install `config.guess' configure.ac:176: required file `build-aux/config.rpath' not found configure.ac:20: required file `build-aux/config.sub' not found configure.ac:20: `automake --add-missing' can install `config.sub' configure.ac:22: required file `build-aux/install-sh' not found configure.ac:22: `automake --add-missing' can install `install-sh' configure.ac:38: required file `build-aux/ltmain.sh' not found configure.ac:22: required file `build-aux/missing' not found configure.ac:22: `automake --add-missing' can install `missing' share/palettes/Makefile.am:34: foreach i,$(palettes_i18n: non-POSIX variable name share/palettes/Makefile.am:34: (probably a GNU make extension) src/Makefile.am: required file `build-aux/depcomp' not found src/Makefile.am: `automake --add-missing' can install `depcomp' make: *** [Makefile.in] Error 1 Which did not tell me much, so tried ./autogen.sh and that complained about not having "autopoint". OK, install it, even though I have no idea what it might be needed for: apt-get install autopoint ./autogen.sh and autogen.sh ran to completion. Now make works again make clean make The latter is building now, will not know for an hour or so if it succeeds. Conclusion - some change in trunk (merged into lp988601) added a dependency on autopoint. The man page for it says: autopoint - copies standard gettext infrastructure Why do we need that now when we didn't before? Regards, David Mathog mathog@...1176...

Question about SPItemCtx
by Alex Valavanis 18 Mar '13

18 Mar '13

Hi All, I'm a bit confused about the way that SPItemCtx is implemented. I have a few questions: SPItemCtx is defined in src/sp-item.h as follows: /// Contains transformations to document/viewport and the viewport size. class SPItemCtx { public: SPCtx ctx; /** Item to document transformation */ Geom::Affine i2doc; /** Viewport size */ Geom::Rect viewport; /** Item to viewport transformation */ Geom::Affine i2vp; }; As far as I can tell, the only place where an SPItemCtx object is created is in the SPDocument::_updateDocument() function. It is then cast to SPCtx object and sent to the updateDisplay function. Various "update" handlers then retrieve the SPItemCtx data by casting back: SPItemCtx *ictx = (SPItemCtx *) ctx; double const aw = 1.0 / ictx->i2vp.descrim(); This seems a bit weird to me... why not make SPItemCtx a subclass of SPCtx? That way, we wouldn't need to do risky reinterpret_cast<> operations. Any thoughts? AV

Hello, in glib 2.36.0 it is no longer allowed to declare g_type_init, the following patch solves this for me in inkscape. diff -Naur orig/src/extension/dbus/wrapper/inkscape-dbus-wrapper.c new/src/extension/dbus/wrapper/inksca pe-dbus-wrapper.c --- orig/src/extension/dbus/wrapper/inkscape-dbus-wrapper.c 2013-03-18 00:08:01.000000000 +0100 +++ new/src/extension/dbus/wrapper/inkscape-dbus-wrapper.c 2013-03-18 00:09:27.000000000 +0100 @@ -95,9 +95,9 @@ DBusGConnection *connection; GError *error; DBusGProxy *proxy; - +#if !GLIB_CHECK_VERSION(2,35,0) g_type_init (); - +#endif error = NULL; connection = dbus_g_bus_get (DBUS_BUS_SESSION, &error);
