Re: [Inkscape-devel] my win32 patch does not work, why (splivarot.cpp)

Hi, we decided that the best way to unify serialization is via a C++ stream. I just checked in src/svg/stringstream.h which is a beginning of such a class that can be used already. If we use this class throughout, later it will be easy to change precision or number formatting globally for all SVG output, as well as to add custom serializers for our own classes. An example of using this class is in function sp_svg_write_path() in svg-path.cpp. You declare a variable (os) of this class and then feed it with the data you need to serialize using <<. To access the result, you call os.gcharp() which returns const gchar * of the accummulated string, and you'll probably want to also do a g_strdup on it (depending on whether it's going to be used immediately in the same function, or returned or sent elsewhere). So, if you're interested in helping out, you can start searching for printf functions that are used for serializing into SVG (in splivarot and in other places) and replace them with the stream stuff. Of course the first to replace are printfs that serialize floating point numbers. Please do one function at a time and test it thoroughly after the replacement. Do a test patch for one file, and if it works we can give you developer access to CVS to speed things up. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Premium includes powerful parental controls and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=ht…

inkscape crash on startup
by David Christian Berg 20 Mar '04

20 Mar '04

Yesterday I tried to open the attached document and it wouldn't, but cause inkscape to crash. Since I created it with inkscape I thought, well, get the newest cvs and it'll be working again. but having installed todays cvs inkscape crashes on startup without any error messages of use: ** (inkscape:11051): WARNING **: Emergency save activated Emergency save completed. Inkscape will close now. If you can reproduce this crash, please file a bug at www.inkscape.org with a detailed description of the steps leading to the crash, so we can fix it.Segmentation fault At least I this doesn't help _me_. I hope someone can help me... maybe find an error in the svg code, so that I could at least open it with sodipodi (which still starts up) or anything... I need to finish that flyer over till monday and it really bothers me that I can't open it right now. Thanx in advance David

Passpartout and Inkscape
by Bluefuture 20 Mar '04

20 Mar '04

It could be useful a collaboration between Passpartout (a GTK DTP projects like scribus) and Inkscape in particular for this todo point: * Simple graphics directly in passepartout, probably as a subset of SVG, as well as being able to import SVG graphics. Passpartout home page: http://www.stacken.kth.se/project/pptout/ For contact Passpartout developer managers: Fredrik Arnerup <e97_far@...270...> and Rasmus Kaj <kaj@...270...>. Regars. Blue

I certainly do not want to desactivate any speedups you're working on :) Instead, I worked around this by increasing the delay which governs accelerated scrolling from 1/8 to 1/4 sec. Previously if some redraw took more than 1/8 sec, it dropped the accumulated acceleration. Now it scrolls smoothly again (at least for keys.svg in fullscreen, which is a rather complex file). _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN Premium.

small gradient editing improvements
by bulia byak 19 Mar '04

19 Mar '04

In the linear and radial gradient panes of the Fill and Stroke dialog: * You can press Ctrl while dragging handles to snap the linear gradient angle to 15 degrees increments (makes it easy to create strictly horizontal/vertical gradients). * The handles, bounding box, and gradient axes now use inversion for better visibility. * The default linear gradient now goes through the center of the object. * The radial gradient displays a radius handle for adjusting the gradient radius. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN Premium.

inkscape interface icons
by Jonathan Phillips 19 Mar '04

19 Mar '04

Hello All, I'm now well versed in how to implement new icons in Inkscape. If you design icons and would like to help develop an excellent icon theme for Inkscape, then either A.) jump on chat and I can show you how to edit icons, and/or B.) Make your icons and forward them to me and I will implement them. There are plenty of icons left to designed. Don't forget that artists are developers as well... I'm moving all icons in the application to icons.svg which is by default at: /usr/local/lib/inkscape/icons/icons.svg If you open that file up and copy how those were laid out, and then name the group of the file icon uniquely, that is the best way to understand how to add/edit icons. Forward me any changes and I'll add them into the app. Jon -- Jonathan Phillips <jon@...15...>

The difference between data and dlg does seem strange, but I have no idea of what may be happening here. _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the MSN Premium and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=ht…

The bug I wrote you about earlier today is fixed, thanks :) Now there's another: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=918458&group_id=9… Besides the scrolling by Ctrl+arrows is now rather uneven - it used to accelerate monotonously but now it moves jerkily. Do you think this is something related to rendering too (e.g. slowdown)? _________________________________________________________________ http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=ht…

dialog delete handlers
by bulia byak 18 Mar '04

18 Mar '04

Peter, in align.cpp and transformation.cpp, in delete signal handlers, you wrote static gboolean sp_transformation_dialog_delete(GtkObject *, GdkEvent *, gpointer data) { if ( data != static_cast<gpointer>(dlg) ) { g_warning("possible bug: dlg differs from passed data"); /* E.g. maybe we shouldn't update the global x,y,w,h, or maybe we should use dlg instead of dead_dlg below. */ } GtkWindow &dead_dlg = *static_cast<GtkWindow *>(data); gtk_window_get_position(&dead_dlg, &x, &y); gtk_window_get_size(&dead_dlg, &w, &h); instead of the previous code which simply used dlg, ignoring data. I don't quite understand the reason for this change. Besides: - Why only these two files? The same code is used in all dialogs. - Attempting to close Inkscape with any of these two dialogs open will crash (bug 917122). So for now I restored the old code to fix the crash, but I'm just curious why you deemed this change necessary. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN Premium.
