inkscape to synfig studio
by Alexandre Prokoudine 17 Aug '11

17 Aug '11

Hi, FYI, for a few weeks now Nikita Kitaev has been working on an svg2sif extension that allows exporting SVG to Synfig Studio animation editor documents. https://github.com/nikitakit/svg2sif He hopes that it will eventually replace the existing SVG importer in Synfig. Discussion forum is here: http://www.synfig.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2953 Alexandre Prokoudine http://libregraphicsworld.org

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

17 Aug '11

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

Hello, I've made tarballs of the 0.48.2 release of Inkscape. Please, as per usual don't announce these generally until packages have a chance to make binary packages for users. I'd really like to thank those that worked on backporting all of the patches, it's tireless and unforgiving work.

DXF output extension
by Johan Engelen 13 Aug '11

13 Aug '11

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

First results
by Krzysztof Kosiński 07 Aug '11

07 Aug '11

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

Mesh update
by Tavmjong Bah 06 Aug '11

06 Aug '11

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

SVG to PNG
by Laurent 05 Aug '11

05 Aug '11

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

Build times
by Jasper van de Gronde 02 Aug '11

02 Aug '11

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

Windows packaging for 0.49
by Josh Andler 31 Jul '11

31 Jul '11

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

Rendering bug with some filters (Cairo?)
by Ivan Louette 30 Jul '11

30 Jul '11

I found a rendering bug in The two Inkscape Cairo versions I use (10404 and 10514) with the "Non realistic 3D shaders" filter effect. It's linked with the first "Composite" in the tree and particularly visible when it's set on "XOR" (which is often used in thsi kind of filter). Inkscape 0.48.1 render them correctly. I send some examples and the filters file to test. Thanks to take a look at. ivan

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

28 Jul '11

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

Raw penstroke handling
by John Allsup 28 Jul '11

28 Jul '11

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

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

25 Jul '11

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

Dear developers, thanks for creating teh amazing Inkscape!

Try out the pencil (not brush) with type Sketchy and Shadeded (Flash 10+ plugin required): http://pixlr.com/editor/ PS: Try loops and crossings to explore the shading feature. Cheers Eckhard.
