vector graphics + M$
by Jon Phillips 08 May '04

08 May '04

Hello all, I wondered if you all checked out this: http://osnews.com/story.php?news_id=6978 Talk about the new MS vector graphics system and new windowing. You can see how SVG will be pushed around in the future. All the more reason to push SVG and Inkscape between now and before AVALON and the new WINDOWS is released. This adds new urgency to the cause. Man, why can't M$ just go along with some open standards! Arg!!!

example Inkscape works
by Artemio 07 May '04

07 May '04

Hello there! Once again I must admit how happy I am to use Inkscape - it has become no. 1 application that I use - see the attachment if you need proof ;-) Here is the list of example sites created by me, that use graphics by Inkscape. http://artemio.net My home site. The interface has actually been drawn in sodipodi (as I didn't know about Inkscape when I was creating thisone), but the rest (the icons on the main page etc.) is all by Inkscape. http://artemiolabs.com My audio laboratory site. 100% Inkscape. http://lilija.com.ua (in Russian) The site of a florictic shop where my sister works. 100% Inkscape. Note: all images were cut and JPEG'd with the GIMP (you guessed). Also, you guys mentioned that we, the users, can send you the screenshots of how we use Inkscape? I think it would be nice if, for example, you create a page on your site with a screnshot showing Inkscape at work and the web site that uses these graphics. If you need such a thing - just tell me. Thanks again for the best graphic editor ever and happy development!

By default a small circle would be created. When a drag action is happening there would be a reasonably lange yellow border around it to indicate that it is not a normal shape. Shapes droped into the Yellow zone would Union with the shape or subtract if a modifier key was pressed inside the drop zone. -- If you're going to America, bring your own food. -- Fran Lebowitz, "Social Studies"

marker news
by bulia byak 06 May '04

06 May '04

I fixed marker previews. Now all markers (no matter where they come from, i.e. both from the current document and from markers.svg) are automatically shown with their icons in the start/mid/end menus in the Fill&Stroke dialog. No need to provide a preview object in markers.svg; that file needs only contain the markers themselves in <defs>. Simarilius wrote a small tutorial on how to create new markers. It's in share/tutorials/making_markers.svg. It's not in the menu because it's supposed to be temporary until we have a GUI facility for doing the same in a convenient way. I also tweaked markers.svg: provided 3 coordinated sizes for most useful markers, removed some not-so-useful ones, and generally cleaned them up. I would add more markers, but the menus become difficult to handle when they grow too long. What we need instead is a palette-like widget where marker icons can be shown in several rows/columns. _________________________________________________________________ Free yourself from those irritating pop-up ads with MSn Premium.

removal of private-fonts and libarikkei
by MenTaLguY 06 May '04

06 May '04

Just a heads-up that I've removed the "private-fonts" private font installation facility. Anyone who had needed it in the past it will probably find their system's native font management facilities easier and more flexible at this point. Fontconfig has brought unix font management a long, long way. Also of note, libarikkei has been removed from the tree as it is no longer used. -mental

Re: [Inkscape-devel] removal of nr_arena_item_new()

> > I removed nr_arena_item_new() today and replaced it with calls to > > NRArenaWhatever::clear() static members. Now opening any file with text crashes with multiple asserts: File display/nr-arena-glyphs.cpp line 761 (?): Assertion NR_IS_ARENA_GLYPHS_GROUP (gg) failed File libnr/nr-object.cpp line 55 (?): Assertion nr_type_is_a (((NRObject *) ip)->klass->type, tc) failed Mental, please do not commit changes without doing at least basic "runs and loads" type tests. One thing which would be very easy for you to do is to collect a number of various files (including tutorials, keys.svg, etc) in a directory and, when you're about to commit, run "inkscape *" in that directory to make sure it loads them OK. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Premium helps eliminate e-mail viruses.
