Clone command
by bulia byak 19 Apr '04

19 Apr '04

After a small fix, I decided that svg:use is now sufficiently usable. So I created a new command, Clone (Shift+Ctrl+N), that creates a clone of the selected object(s). A clone is the Inkscape term for the svg:use object. This is similar to a duplicate, except that it's linked back to its original. You can move/scale/rotate/skew/flip each clone independently, but all other aspects (fill, stroke, path, etc) of a clone are dynamically updated from the original if the original is changed. For example, you can draw a petal, create several clones of it, position them into a flower, and node-edit the original petal - all the clone petals will be updated automatically so that the flower remains symmetric at all times. This feature is basically usable, but still experiemental, and not expected to work properly in all possible situations. I will continue to improve it. Comments welcome. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Premium: Up to 11 personalized e-mail addresses and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=ht…

vim hints
by Kees Cook 19 Apr '04

19 Apr '04

Say, there are a lot of files in the tree with vim hints at the bottom. (I think these are from Ted?) I'd like to change them to drop the "filetype=c++" part. That seems to break my vim and uncolorizes everything. I think it's breaking the autodetection. -- Kees Cook @outflux.net

valgrind problems with livarot
by Carl Hetherington 19 Apr '04

19 Apr '04

Hi, As I think has been discussed, valgrind has a few complaints about livarot. Most of these are fixed with the following patch: Index: src/livarot/ShapeRaster.cpp =================================================================== RCS file: /cvsroot/inkscape/inkscape/src/livarot/ShapeRaster.cpp,v retrieving revision 1.7 diff -u -r1.7 ShapeRaster.cpp --- src/livarot/ShapeRaster.cpp 1 Apr 2004 00:16:12 -0000 1.7 +++ src/livarot/ShapeRaster.cpp 19 Apr 2004 00:22:24 -0000 @@ -1754,6 +1754,7 @@ } swrData[no].calcX=swrData[no].curX+(to-step-swrData[no].curY)*swrData[no].dxdy; swrData[no].guess=-1; + swrData[no].misc = NULL; } void Shape::DestroyEdge(int /*no*/,float /*to*/,float /*step*/) { Would anyone with valgrind like to verify this? More importantly, could a livarot expert (fred?) take a look and see if this patch is sensible? The problems seem to stem from swrData[...].misc being uninitialised, but it could be that this value should be set somewhere else. In that case, my patch would probably just cover up a bug rather than fixing it. Cheers Carl

keyboard shortcuts
by Artemio 18 Apr '04

18 Apr '04

Hello all! Currently, if one switches to Russian or Ukrainian keyboard layout, keyboard shortcuts stop working. So when you type Russian text in Inkscape and then want to edit font/fill/etc. properties, you have to switch back to English, press Shift-Ctrl+T(F) and then switch back to previous layout and so on. I'm using a en_GB:en locale - is this a problem? Anyway, whether this is the reason or not, I think keyboard shortcuts should work with any layout and with any inkscape locale. I can help you with mapping proper keys on the keyboard for Russian and Ukrainian layouts, just let me know.

This sounds like a great idea.

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.
