Inkscape now has ICC support
by Jon A. Cruz 04 Apr '06

04 Apr '06

I've just finished base support for the <color-profile> element and for the 'color-profile' attribute on <image> elements. Among other things, this means that Inkscape in SVN now passes the W3C's compliance test on this (color-prof-01-f). http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/Test/20030813/htmlframe/full-color- prof-01-f.html It's currently off by default. To turn it on, one needs to configure with --enable-lcms Give it a spin and see what needs improving. I'm moving on to working on support for fills like "#FF00FF icc-color(base, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.3)", then on to some named color support.

LittleCMS in win32
by Bob Jamison 04 Apr '06

04 Apr '06

Hi, all, A couple of guys wrote to me yesterday about how to enable JonCruz's integration of LittleCMS in Win32. I built LittleCMS 1.15 with Mingw and MSYS, added it to the gtk28 bundle here: http://inkscape.org/win32/gtk28-060403.7z ...but this link is certainly faster/better: http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32libs/gtk28-060403.7z If anyone is interested in using LittleCMS for other Win32 projects, I uploaded the separate LittleCMS build also. Here is the Mingw-built LittleCMS DLL/.h/.a developer file set: http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32libs/lcms.7z ...or... http://inkscape.org/win32/lcms.7z I committed the makefiles to use it in Inkscape, so builders will likely need to do a 'make clean' and rebuild with the new makefile flags. bob

test updating
by Jon A. Cruz 04 Apr '06

04 Apr '06

I just did a commit to change attributes-test to CxxTest. Also, I added the attributes now supported by adding <color-profile> If anyone gets a chance, see if "make check" works now. I think there are two unknown attributes that show up, but it should build and run the test now. Thanks.

Ok, it is still readable, but it doesn\'t look that nice (and i guess people who write graphics software, realy care about how something looks ;-)). Cheers, Peter.

Adding LittleCms
by Jon A. Cruz 02 Apr '06

02 Apr '06

I just did a commit to add LittleCms as an optional feature. If anyone could give the configure.ac changes a look, that would be helpful. I'm not too expert on config changes yet. I've also talked over various aspects with Peter, so have a good idea on first steps of actually using the library, and we should see bits using it fairly quickly. We might even be able to get <colorProfile> and friends working for the general case within a week or so.

Coordinate System Transformation Matricies
by Aaron Spike 01 Apr '06

01 Apr '06

Or whatever they are called. Functions like sp_item_i2r_affine(), sp_item_i2doc_affine, sp_item_i2root_affine are a fearful inhibitor for incoming developers and a stumbling block even for experienced developers. It would be really cool for a few of us to sit down and add some enlightening comments (perhaps an example every now and again would help). Aaron Spike

NEW: more nodetool optimization, tweak in node type change
by bulia byak 01 Apr '06

01 Apr '06

* Node tool optimization is addictive - I just can't stop doing it :) Now _most_ of node tool operations, including curve and node dragging and move/scale/rotate operations on multiple selected nodes, are much faster as well. Please test it thoroughly - I might have broken something. * In the Node tool, when you switch the type of the selected node to Smooth or Symmetric (by Shift+S/Shift+Y), you can now preserve the position of one of the two handles by hovering your mouse over it, so that only the other handle is rotated/scaled to match. -- bulia byak Inkscape.

Playing with colors
by Jon A. Cruz 30 Mar '06

30 Mar '06

I just checked in a change to start some experimentation with linked colors. There are various technical things this will let me play with internally, but the immediate visible effect is that palettes can be edited and can have linked colors. To enable things, a .gpl palette file needs to have some 'magic' strings in its names. I'm looking for "*{" and "}*" as delimiters. Within those some letters can go in 'E' will make the color editable. This allows you to drop colors onto the palette entry. 'S' will make a color a 'shade' or 'tone' of another color. It requires parenthesis with two or three comma-separated integer values in it. the first number is the index in that palette to link to the second number is the percentage to mix with either black (for shades) or some gray (for tones). the optional third number is the gray percentage to mix with. (if present, makes it a tone. If missing, this will make it a shade) 'T' will make a color a 'tint' of another color. It requires two comma-separated integer values in it the first number is the index in that palette to link to the second number is the percentage to mix with white. Some examples: ... 204 255 102 CCFF66 *{E}* 102 255 255 66FFFF *{ES(4,25)}* lkj 102 255 51 66FF33 *{ES(4,25,33)}* 102 255 0 66FF00 *{ET( 4, 25 )}* 51 255 255 33FFFF *{ET(4,75)}* This markup is very temporary, and was only put in as a way to enable testing of some of the color things themselves. (Also... the actual color manipulations might be off right now, as color change accuracy is not as important as the initial linking behavior.) Oh, and if you tweak a palette successfully, then you should see magic arrows show up in the swatches UI.

NEW: node tool speedup
by bulia byak 29 Mar '06

29 Mar '06

Switching to and from the Node tool (with a path selected), as well as selecting nodes in that tool, have been significantly optimized and are now about five times faster than before. This is especially noticeable when working with complex paths; with these optimizations, paths containing several thousand nodes, though still slow, are much more usable. -- bulia byak Inkscape.

NEW: paste size
by bulia byak 28 Mar '06

28 Mar '06

Especially in technical drawings, often you need many different objects to have the same size. It's very tiresome to copy/paste the numbers in the W/H fields. So: A number of commands are added to easily scale selected objects to match the size of the object(s) previously copied to the clipboard. They are all in the Paste Size submenu in Edit menu: * Paste Size scales the whole selection to match the size of the clipboard object(s). * Paste Width scales the whole selection horizontally so that it matches the width of the clipboard object(s). * Paste Height scales the whole selection vertically so that it matches the height of the clipboard object(s). * Paste Size Separately scales each selected object separately so that it matches the size of the clipboard object(s). -- bulia byak Inkscape.

Where has the tool set gone?
by erikhalbert 28 Mar '06

28 Mar '06

I have not seriously played with Inkscape for about six months so I thought I'll do a complete reinstal. My system is Win2000. I cleaned out old copies of Inkscape and brought down Inkscape-0603271700 (43.5M). It appeared to install OK but when I opened it I find that I cannot not use it because the toolset is missing many of its functions. All that is there is: Create rectangles and squares Select and transform Create circles, ellipses and arcs Flip vertically Flip horizontally Edit path nodes and Convert selected object to path This seems so bizarre. Either 1. There is a dialog somewhere that sets up a specific toolset. 2. Something is borked. 3. I am doing something really silly because I've been away from Inkscape too long. I've had a look around and cannot see anything that looks promising. Can someone help me out here. I've been using Inkscape for years so I know how it should behave and it certainly is not doing it now for me. Thanks, Erik

Hello guys ! Thanks to the answer from bulia byak (See http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ#Q:_I.27m_on_Windows.2C_and_comm… ) I compiled Inkscape under MinGW-Win32 using the good options to make the command line interface work under windows, just as Bulia wrote in the FAQ. Now it works as expected. I put my customized build to the following URL : executables only : http://gillou.cjb.net/research/files/inkscape-Win32-CLI-0.43.zip sources and executables : http://gillou.cjb.net/research/files/inkscape-Win32-CLI-devel-0.43.tar.bz2 Makefile rule to transform Inkscape SVG file to EPS format : %.eps : %.svg $(INKSCAPE) --export-eps=$@ $< Best regards, Gilles

CVS build performance issues with AMD ??
by stinky wizzleteet 27 Mar '06

27 Mar '06

Hi all, On my laptop medion MD4130, AMD k7, radeon IGP320 I've tried inkscape-LATEST, compiled it with mingw, compiled it in debian(unstable) , but: There is a significant performance loss when moving about a group of elements, moreover, this performance even deteriotates further when one moves the group a couple of times. I have seen this performance issue also in the official build in windows, but I fixed it by moving away the gtk dlls I already had installed. In debian, the official debian deb did not have the performance issue. It leads me to, well, guess that the issue is related to gtk/cairo vs AMD. Help appreciated, sander
