Attached is an archive of several files that someone called massifr (sorry I don't know the real name) created some time ago. This is a beginning of implementation of svg:font, svg:fontface and svg:glyph. Really the files are almost placeholders, with little real code, but you still can use them as the starting point. The author (his email is in the files headers) said he won't continue to work on them, but you can contact him with questions. (As well as any of the developers, of course - use the devel list and the jabber channel for any questions you might have.)

Inkscape: PT_GNU_STACK RWE
by Ivan Gyurdiev 24 Feb '05

24 Feb '05

Hi, I've subscribed to this list just to post this one question. The inkscape binary is marked with PT_GNU_STACK RWE. This creates problems for the SELinux strict policy, and requires that special privileges be granted for inkscape as a "legacy domain". The question is, does inkscape really require an executable stack? I'm not a gcc expert of any kind, but from what I've read I understand that asm code causes gcc to mark the binary as requiring executable stack. I think it can be overridden with ld -z noexecstack. It would be a lot easier to write the inkscape security policy if it didn't require executable stack. -- Ivan Gyurdiev <ivg2@...729...> Cornell University

Inkscape.app for Mac OS X
by Aymeric GILLAIZEAU 24 Feb '05

24 Feb '05

I have succesfully built Inkscape 0.40-1 via Fink under Mac OS X 10.3 After I have moved to "~/Desktop/Inkscape.app/Contents" following the way explained for the Gimp.app The application lauches itself with a double-click and it is available there http://niwaconcept.free.fr//x11/Inkscape.zip But if it can be stored there that would be better. The file is 60 Mb do dwnload, and then 280 Mb for the software itself. http://www.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?CompilingMacOsX ____________________ PowerMac G4 400 Mhz 1 Gb RAM Mac OS X 10.3.6 Ubuntu Linux PPC 4.10

I was thinking how cool the gradient handles were and was wondering if it would be difficult to extend similar functionality to Patterns? (Should I file a request?) - Alan Horkan

Master Opacity and Marker question
by cedric 21 Feb '05

21 Feb '05

Hi, I'm back to User Manual. I 've been trying the Master Opacity, to explain its use. But when applied to Markers, only the path seems to be affected by the opacity changes. Is there another way to do ? PS to Bulia : Wonderful your new gradient handles !! -- Cedric ----------------------------- LISEZ -> SOS GIMP : http://www.le-radar.com/?mm/gimp mais aussi : http://wwww.le-radar.com http://www.cgemy.com

removing trivial wrappers
by Robert Crosbie 21 Feb '05

21 Feb '05

There are some wrappers that I'm not sure what to do with: This one below returns a value, but it is never checked. I assume a straight replacement is fine in this case and ignore the return value. inline unsigned int sp_repr_add_child(Inkscape::XML::Node *repr, Inkscape::XML::Node *child, Inkscape::XML::Node *ref) { repr->addChild(child, ref); return true; } There are others like this one below, where the value is actually checked somewhere. Should the ckeck be removed since it will always be true anyway? inline unsigned int sp_repr_remove_child(Inkscape::XML::Node *repr, Inkscape::XML::Node *child) { repr->removeChild(child); return true; } ... ok = sp_repr_remove_child (NODE_DATA (old_parent)->repr, NODE_DATA (node)->repr) && sp_repr_add_child (NODE_DATA (new_parent)->repr, NODE_DATA (node)->repr, ref); ... sp_repr_set_attr is another one that always returns true, but is used as a return value and in conditionals in a number of places. Should all instances of append_child be replaced with addChild? There are many, but it could be a Janitor item. void addChild(Inkscape::XML::Node *child, Inkscape::XML::Node *ref); void appendChild(Inkscape::XML::Node *child) { addChild(child, _last_child); } Cheers, -- Rob. http://woodpendant.com
