This sounds like a great idea. You should file a new feature request here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=93438&atid=604309 Jon On Sun, 2004-04-18 at 05:53, Artemio wrote: > On Sunday 18 April 2004 14:07, Aewyn Vienna wrote: > > Is there any way to embed pictures (png, others) into svg files? > > Now -as I know- it makes only a link in svg files, so it is hard job to > > manage all files for one svg. > AFAIK, SVG standard itself allows embedding images and fonts inside.

recursive balls (per the conference room topic)
by MenTaLguY 18 Apr '04

18 Apr '04

Thinking about it, we need to either lose the recursive balls, or make them larger. At the moment, because they are so small, unless you zoom in they look like a display glitch. On the other hand, if they were made larger, it would be necessary to make some tweaks to account for e.g. interreflection and caustics. So it's probably best to do without. The single sphere just looks really darn cool anyway. No sense in overkilling it. ^_- -mental

Good for me, too. Now, Arpad, we also need a tooltip for this thing. _________________________________________________________________ Free yourself from those irritating pop-up ads with MSn Premium.

printing
by Kees Cook 17 Apr '04

17 Apr '04

So, since I am now printing from inkscape every week, the "print" dialog has started to bother me. I'd like to replace it with the gnomeprint dialog. I've started doing some digging to understand the print subsystem in inkscape, and started taking some random notes here: http://www.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?PrintingSubsystem Basically, libgnomeprint gives us an "Output" and "Delivery" system. We already have an internal PS "Output" system, and that's fine, since it seems that libgnomeprint is happy to co-exist with other output systems. The major change I want to make it to use libgnomeprintui to handle the dialog portion, which is very cool since it'll gather all the configuration information needed during the "Output" phase (page size, orientation, destination, etc). Then the Output runs, and finally, it gets delivered for us. I think this would let us throw out all the print dialog and print delivery code and just rely on libgnomeprint without having to implement all their moveto and stroke stuff. And from what I can tell, it will work under windows too, although I'd have to test it. :) Does anyone have modern build instructions for windows? The Wiki seems out of date. -- Kees Cook @outflux.net

Fixes to save as on win32
by Carl Hetherington 17 Apr '04

17 Apr '04

Hi, I just committed a patch to allow save as PS/EPS on Win32. I'd be grateful if any Windows-ers could test it. It looks like the fileTypes parameter to the FileOpenDialog and FileSaveDialog constructors is now not required. Perhaps it should be removed? Cheers Carl

Introduction to the Inkscape 0.39 Pango Rearchitecting Effort
by Bryce Harrington 17 Apr '04

17 Apr '04

As most of you know, the principle focus for the 0.39 release is slated to be "Pangoification". While we expect that there's going to be a number of new features, bug fixes, code cleanups, etc. our project's top objective for this release is to replace libnrtype with Pango. This of course brings up the questions, "Huh? Pango? Libnrtype? Whazzalat?" The following document provides a broad overview to this effort, explaining what Libnrtype and Pango are and what we gain by replacing the former by the latter. It's hoped that this will serve as an easy orientation into this work for those of us who don't know a lot about fonts but may be interested in lending a hand. http://www.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Pangoification (If you spot any inaccuracies, don't be shy about clicking edit and fix it up!)

perspective distortions
by bulia byak 16 Apr '04

16 Apr '04

I wrote a plan for implementing perspective distortions in Inkscape: http://inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?PerspectiveObject I think it shapes out well and should not be too difficult to implement. Still, I may have missed something. Please comment by editing the Wiki page. Use :, ::, etc at the beginning of line to indent your comments. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Premium with Virus Guard and Firewall* from McAfee� Security : 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=ht…

I think we need to do the same Plain-English-ization of the Fill rule list.
