Blog + LGM
by Gail Banaszkiewicz 11 May '07

11 May '07

So I decided to start a blog because I wanted to have an accessible place to write about LGM. I have a generic LGM post in there now, but I took notes during the talks I saw so I intend to write in more detail about those in the next week or so. I'm not sure exactly what I will put in the blog in the future, but it will definitely be limited (in general) to technology/computer science related things. I'm not sure if it makes sense to add it to the inkscape planet page. Anyway, here's the link: http://compscigail.blogspot.com/ Gail

Fwd: OpenRaster and non destructive raster effects on Inkscape
by Aurélio A. Heckert 09 May '07

09 May '07

Sometimes we decide to change the brightness, contrast, saturation or other things on a raster image, inside the SVG file. The OpenRaster proposal ( http://pippin.gimp.org/OpenRaster ) is a good ideia for some things and for a extending possibilities with raster in inkscape. With a initial suport of OpenRaster on inkscape we can have special controls for change raster properties whitout to destroy the original raster data. "Hey Boss... you do not want a lot of contrast? Ok! I don't lose the original image." (Click on menu "object > raster > edit properties") ;-D (easier then re-open on GIMP) How can it works? The inkscape can have a suport for the OpenRaster format and allow the OpenRaster name space on the SVG XML. When we try to change the contrast on a raster image the XML changes from: <image xlink:href="img.jpg" /> to this: <openraster:image> <openraster:layers> <openraster:brightness-contrast contrast='1.4'/> <openraster:layer src='img.jpg'/> </openraster:layers> </openraster:image> We can use the menu "object > raster > aplay raster changes" and the OpenRaster block comes to a <svg:image>. It will help to send the SVG file to other softwares. With this implementation effects will can handle this raster properties too. The <animate> can be used on the 0.48 to animate raster properties too. (extending more the SVG standard) ;-) May the Mozilla team implement that too? What you think?

Inkscape as a LaTeX drawing editor
by Davide Cavalca 09 May '07

09 May '07

Hello everybody, I've been looking for some time for a good vector editor to make pictures to include in LaTeX documents. I eventually settled to TpX: http://tpx.sf.net which has the following interesting features - can include LaTeX code in a document - can save to a combined TeX/PS/PDF format which is very easy to include in a LaTeX document On the other hand, it is "primitive" (to say the least) compared to inkscape, works only on win32, is prone to crash and AFAIK it's development is stalled. I'd like to use inkscape as a replacement. The first feature is (partially) present in inkscape with the "render latex formula" effect, the latter may require some explanation. When you save a document in TpX you get three files: a PDF and a PS with the drawing (but no text) and a TeX file which includes the PDF or the PS (via \includegraphics) and overlays the text using TeX "picture" environment. To include the picture you simple \input the the TeX file and it's done. This way the text is actually rendered by TeX, using whatever fonts and packages it has available. My C sucks, but if something like this can be implemented as a python effect I'd like to try. I'm thinking about something among these lines: - a tool to insert "latex text" in the document (this could eventually be rendered like the current latex plugin does, but the user should be able to change its contents freely) - an export plugin for "combined latex" which * outputs everything but the "latex text" as a PS and a PDF (using the current PS/PDF exporters I think) * foreach "latex text" box it computes its position and size and outputs a TeX file with the picture environment. Is something like this actually viable (and implementable without getting mad) ? Sorry for the long post, I hope I've made myself sufficiently clear. Davide davide125@...92...

Develop Inkscape Animation
by Federico 08 May '07

08 May '07

Hello! Creed by now you know that I am developing animations in Inkscape for my thesis of bachelor. I have abandoned the idea to insert the animation in the code source of Inkscape because it does not support the multithreading and I'am writing an extension in python. I would have from porvi some questions: 1) I can write an extension in python that, once under way, to regular intervals it modifies the attributes of an object "rect" or "path" without to block inkscape? I explain better… the python extensions starting in a windows shell and this shell blocks for some second inkscape. It would be possible to reduce to icon this window and to make to turn the animation seeing in real Time on the canvas of inkscape what it happens? 2) As I can proceed in order to analyze the nodes of a document and to only choose nodes that have a particular "ID"? self.selected.iteriterms () it allows me to only estimate the nodes of objects selects to you but not of all the document. Thanks you for the time dedicated to me and I make excuses myself if I seem invading, but I have need of aid in order to finish my thesis and I do not know like moving. Federico

Fonts and Boolean Ops
by Jeffrey Brent McBeth 08 May '07

08 May '07

I have two problems on the Windows Nightly Build from two nights ago. 1. Font rendering with styles defined like <svg:g style="font-family:Differentfont"> <text>"Hello"</text> </g> The text is rendering in the default font rather than the font defined in the parent style 2. Boolean operations When I am doing difference operations, the resulting path is not in the same location as the starting point. I'm not really expecting things to work in the nightlies, but I wanted to make sure they get noticed. I'll check the latest tonight after work.

Multiple obejct node select
by Ted Gould 08 May '07

08 May '07

Hey, An e-mail from LGM. I've been chatting with a few of the artists here and they have an enhancement request. That is to be able to select nodes across multiple objects. The use case here is that you have multiple objects that are all slightly off, and you want to extend them slightly by adjusting the nodes. Currently, if they all share an edge you want to move, you have to move each individually. I think the difficulty here is to figure out when your selecting if you want another object or another node. What do people think about this? It seems that you can't use alt to select under... we're running out of keys. I'm all for requiring two keyboards ;) --Ted

LGM
by Gail Banaszkiewicz 07 May '07

07 May '07

Hi everyone! Sorry I "disappeared" for a short time while I finished my school projects. I still read incoming list emails, but didn't get a chance to go onto IRC. I'm still planning on attending LGM. I intend to leave Ottawa early Friday morning to make it for the second or third talk of the day. I am staying at the residences (the cheap rooms advertised). I signed up on the LGM website, and said I'd be attending the dinner Friday night, though I don't know any of the details yet. I assume all will be revealed on arrival. Looking forward to meeting you all! Hopefully you can find me based on my photo here <http://www.scs.carleton.ca/~gbanaszk/> or here <http://www.scs.carleton.ca/~peerhelp/Gail2.png>. I probably won't be wearing glasses because I can see better with contacts. I should be able to find some of you since there are a few talks from Inkscape devs ;) Gail

autogen.sh on 0_45 branch fails

Hello, I checked out source from RELEASE_0_45_BRANCH, ran autogen.sh and saw this: ... I am testing that you have the required versions of autoconf, automake, glib-gettextize and intltoolize. This test is not foolproof and if anything goes wrong, there may be guidance in the file HACKING.txt checking for autoconf >= 2.52 ... ./autogen.sh: line 37: ((: ((2 == 2)) && ((61 \>= 52)): missing `)' (error token is "\>= 52))") Too old (found version 2.61)! checking for automake >= 1.7 ... ./autogen.sh: line 37: ((: ((1 == 1)) && ((10 \>= 7)): missing `)' (error token is "\>= 7))") Too old (found version 1.10)! ... The test in check_version() where it fails is: if (("$MAJOR1" > "$MAJOR2"))||(((("$MAJOR1" == "$MAJOR2")) && (("$MINOR1" \>= "$MINOR2")))); then Does anyone know why this 'if' does not use '-gt' for numeric compares and square brackets for test, like on the trunk? Am I getting source from the right place? Thanks! , John

0.45.2 ?
by jiho 07 May '07

07 May '07

Hello everyone, Is a 0.45.2 release scheduled? Are there enough bugs fixed to start the process now? John Faith got Inkscape to compile on Mac OS X 10.3 and a new point release would allow to ship some official Inkscape packages via Sourceforge for this platform, which was left behind by 0.45.1. Otherwise two solutions are possible: - just add a notice on the webpage and redirect 10.3 people to the dev builds until 0.46 (not very nice but workable) - patch 0.45.1 source, compile it and upload it as 0.45.1 on Sourceforge. It won't be 0.45.1 exactly of course but most changes are small mistakes here and there and some new definitions in isinf.h, isnan.h,... so nothing major. What do you think?

SoC 3D box tool - invitation to participate :)
by Maximilian Albert 07 May '07

07 May '07

Hello everybody, during the preparation of my application for Summer of Code, I already experienced the great feedback from Inkscape's vivid community. Thanks to all who shared their thoughts! With the official start of SoC rapidly approaching, I would now like to invite everyone who is interested to collect their ideas on the project's Wiki page, which can be found at http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/GSOC2007_3D_box_tool I only created a skeleton page. Please feel free to extend it as you wish. It is intended to be taken over by the community and to serve as a kind of 'market place' where people can share their ideas. Of course you are free to use the mailing list, too. But I considered it convenient to have a central location where all the information is collected. I do not make any promises as to which proposals are actually feasible and will be implemented. But I'm grateful for any suggestions, and any feedback is certainly very helpful to find out what you as users expect from such a tool and how it can be made to help you most in your everyday work. Regarding the latter point, I'd also be interested in what you will be using this tool for (if at all) so as to get an idea which features I should focus on as soon as I (hopefully) get beyond the minimal implementation. For this kind of info maybe the mailing list is an appropriate place, but you can of course als add this to the Wiki. Looking forward from hearing to you. Thanks, Max

Inkscape runs on Max OS 10.3
by jiho 04 May '07

04 May '07

Hello everybody, Thanks to the repeated efforts of John Faith, the latest version of Inkscape now seems to run on OS X 10.3 aka. Panther. Many Panther users reported some bugs and were disappointed that the new 0.45 release left them behind. These cruel days are hopefully over! A build is available in Inkscape's development builds repository: http://inkscape.modevia.com/macosx-snap/?C=M;O=D [pick Inkscape-20070504-10.3.dmg] This build is made from a recent SVN snapshot so it has more features (and potentially more bugs also ;) ) than the 0.45 release. The application is also larger than usual (>100Mb) because it is not stripped from debugging symbols. Currently John is still struggling to complete a compile from a fresh start. Once this is sorted out and once this first build gets some testing, we'll provide a more official build (maybe a 0.45.2 if this is ever planned to happen). Thank you for your patience and thanks again to John who made this happen. JiHO --- http://jo.irisson.free.fr/

Re: [Inkscape-devel] [Inkscape-user] Live trace?

Culleton <john@...360...> writes: >> Is there a function in Inkscape equivalent to the "live trace" in the >> latest version of Illustrator? > > No, there isn't. The is a tracing function in Inkscape in Path > Trace bitmap. The differences are that in Inkscape: - you get a small bitmap preview of the trace result before doing the actual trace. From my point of view this allows to work on small machines while redoing the complete tracing each time you change a parameter (i.e as in Illustrator) is probably very resource hungry. The bitmap preview is not autoupdated so that's not exactly "Live" but the update is just a click of a button away. - the preview is in the Tracing window rather than on canvas. - there are not tracing presets as in Illustrator but I guess these should not be too hard to make - the color mapping (map the trace colors to a palette) does not exist (and the functionality is pretty cool actually see http:// www.creativecow.net/articles/mcmahon_frank/livetrace/livetrace.htm ) So there are less bells and whistles but the main functionality is there. From a developer point of view: - what about auto-updating the preview when the parameters are changed? IMHO that would slow down things too much but maybe an auto- update checkbox would be nice for people on bigger machines than mine. - how hard would it be to put the low resolution bitmap preview of the trace on canvas rather than in the trace dialog? This would be a nice feature and would probably ease things very much when it comes to docking the trace dialog. - the color mapping feature is really nice and probably handy in some situations (e.g. I am doing a flyer with a defined color palette and I want to integrate a traced bitmap). I don't see any color mapping options in potrace so I guess this would require some substantial changes to potrace. Alternatively an extension which would map all colors in selected objects to their closer match in the selected swatches set would probably be very nice in many situations and not just on a traced object (I am thinking of cliparts imported from OCAL for example).

Seamless pattern ui suggestion
by Néstor Díaz 04 May '07

04 May '07

Hi everyone: A few months ago there was a discussion about UI improvements to help designing seamless patterns. The following link has a couple of screenshots of an application made for textile patterns: http://www.arahne.si/paint.html It would nice to have a View mode for patterns. More descriptions: The designer prepares a canvas, for example 24x24. Inside we draw something. We change to Pattern view mode The canvas changes to a pattern view where we can tweak a couple of parametres for displacement. Whenever we draw outside the canvas the view reflects changes for seamless design. Hope this helps and somebody else would be interested in such feature :) -- Néstor Díaz www.barriolinux.net Conocimiento libre

untidy new menu
by Alex Mac 02 May '07

02 May '07

For some reason the templates listed in the new menu are not in alphabetical order on my system (inkscape 0.45 / ubuntu feisty) also they are given rather obscure names with underscores. If they were listed alphabetically and given more human sounding names "Default page (in points)" rather than "default_pt" that would be great, although I think copying the gimps new dialog box would be a much better way of doing this (they have pretty icons in their menu too :) ).

Cairo 1.4.6

I noticed on osnews.com that Cairo has a 1.4.6 release out (congrats, guys!). So I made a build here: http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32libs/cairo-1.4.6-mingw.7z It works great with Inkscape, so I added it to the library bundle: http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32libs/gtk210-070501.7z Cairo is the only difference, so if you have the latest bundle already, you might want to only grab Cairo. The new autobuilds will be built with this version of Cairo: http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32 bob

PDF export seems clipped at the top with margin at bottom
by R (Chandra) Chandrasekhar 02 May '07

02 May '07

Dear Folks, Apologies for cross-posting here after trying inkscape-users. Perhaps this is the correct forum. I use Inkscape 0.45 (Feb 3 2007) on a Kubuntu Dapper Linux PC. It is a great program and thanks for it! I have hit a minor but niggling problem. I am trying to get a tight bounding box around a single exclamation mark input as text at large font size, selected, converted from text to path, and saved as a PDF, from within Inkscape. I have used Path-> Object to path and File -> Document properties -> Page -> Fit page to selection and exported as PDF. There seems to be a margin beyond the object at the bottom, and the top of the object is clipped, very likely by the same amount. This is seen when viewing the exported PDF at 6400% in Acroread. The dotted box that appears in Inkscape when the object is selected appears perfect. The settings for snapping to grid/object/path have been toggled with no change in behaviour of the exported file. These problems persist for any text string, regardless of font, converted to paths, and exported as a PDF. I can post PDFs illustrating this if told where to post them. Is this a bug, and if so, is there a workaround? Otherwise, how may I avoid it? TIA. --Chandra 02 May 07

I understand this and agree that it improves the UI and is conceptually justified to have those icons a bit smaller than the rest of the toolbar's icons. However, if it is possible to specify those sizes as percentage of a standard size, why not use 75% of gtk- small-toolbar size? This way, these icons are guaranteed to be `"smaller" than the normal toolbar items`. Indeed gtk-menu size seems completely independent from the toolbar size to me and there may be themes in which people want their menu icons to be very big or very small and they will make Inkscape look strange, don't you think? Just to go a little further because I know you implemented the color swatches bar: how are the sizes decided there? is it something along the lines: tiny=50% of inkscape-decoration small=75% of inkscape-decoration normal=100% ... or something like: tiny=gtk-menu-size small=gtk-small-toolbar-size normal=gtk-large-toolbar-size ... Indeed I remarked that, with some themes, tiny may be bigger than small which is odd. > If you go to your .inkscape/preferences file, look for the top- > level "debug" group, possibly near the end.

GTK icon sizes
by jiho 30 Apr '07

30 Apr '07

Hello everybody, I am working on a GTK theme and I noticed some strange things with icon sizes. The icon sizes definitions for GTK I could find are: # gtk-menu -> icon in menus: file, edit, etc. # gtk-button -> icon on yes, no, delete, cancel, back, forward, etc. buttons # gtk-small-toolbar -> not sure about this # gtk-large-toolbar -> toolbars icons # gtk-dnd -> don't know # gtk-dialog -> notification icon in dialogs (e.g. warning, error,etc.) # panel-menu -> icon size in so called 'start' menu but Inkscape apparently uses gtk-menu size for some toolbars icons, instead of gtk-small-toolbar size as used for the rest of the toolbars: - the fill and stroke swatches both at the bottom of the window and at the end of each tool for which they are relevant - the eye and lock icons next to the layer drop down - the lock icon between width and height in selector tool toolbars as well as all icons at the right end of the toolbar - the magnifier icon at the top-right of the rulers/scollbars - the last icon of the node tool toolbar - the connector tool toolbar last two icons - the gradient tool toolbar icons - the dropper tool toolbar icons It does not look like and intended behavior but maybe it is. And a less important problem: in Inkscape's icon.svg, gtk-small- tollbar size icons are designed at 16x16 and gtk-large-toolbar size icons are 24x24. All icons of the fill and stroke dialog are designed a gtk-large-toolbar size (24x24) but the plain, gradient, pattern etc. icons of the fill and stroke dialog are displayed at gtk-small- toolbar size (16x16) which results in less crispy icons.

Inkscape icon
by jiho 30 Apr '07

30 Apr '07

Hello everybody, Does anyone know who designed the icon Inkscape uses on OS X? (you can see it here: http://inkscape.modevia.com/macosx-snap/?C=M;O=D). Does anyone have it in a vector format? I would like to remove the paintbrush from the icon to make it more consistent with Inkscape on the other platforms, if that's OK with the author. Then I'll use this new icon to create OS X like document icons for SVG, EPS, etc. What about the plan to change current icon to a Tangoified version? In which case I'll use this one directly. Thanks.
