Do you know any code saying "if something, do not draw the stroke"? Since the stroke disappears completely, this is likely to be such a "draw or not draw" switch. I know of one, which you introduced lately (the check for width > 0.01 in nr-arena-shape) and I tried to disable it but this did not help. Maybe there are others checks like that somewhere? _________________________________________________________________ MSN Premium helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

child handling
by MenTaLguY 07 Mar '04

07 Mar '04

I've just comitted a fairly major reworking of the way children work in the SPObject layer -- now SPObject itself handles children directly, rather than each subclass having its own child list implementation. A lot of duplicate code related to that has also been "hoisted" into the base class. This is still a very rough cut, and there are some performance and correctness issues to work out (most noticable when creating a new document window, and when exiting the application, respectively). I'll be working on polishing it more over the next week or so. Some things to note: Now, instead of accessing SP_WHATEVER(foo)->children, please use sp_object_first_child(SP_OBJECT(foo)). Also, instead of SP_OBJECT(bar)->next, please use SP_OBJECT_NEXT(bar). More generally, when you need to access a field of SPObject, use the accessors declared in sp-object.h rather than accessing data members directly -- the data members are likely to start changing soon. -mental

My understanding (Mental: please correct me if I'm wrong) is that no matter what is the back-end, what Inkscape gets from it is always a glyph curve. That is, neither Freetype nor Pango will be doing font rasterizing for us (if only because they cannot do all the fills, strokes, transparency etc); they will only give us glyphs which Inkscape will render using its own renderer. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Premium helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

Heading towards 1.2 - Scribus Status Update
by Peter Linnell 06 Mar '04

06 Mar '04

Hi all, I wanted those on the list to get an update on the road to 1.2, as well as add some relevant tidbits to the world of Scribus. 1. If you have not visited the http://www.scribus.net web site recently, we are pleased to have Petr Vanek join the Scribus team. He is concentrating on adding more cool features for the scripter. He has created a nice font preview plug-in. You can download tarballs, Fedora or SuSE 9.0 RPMS from http://www.scribus.net 2. There is an Irix build for Scribus available on http://www.nekochan.net It would be good to know if anyone has tried Scribus on Irix. Screen caps would be welcome. 3. Bug Tracker - The bug tracker has been a great success there have been currently 324 bugs have been posted and over 225 are closed. Of the remaining open bugs, 76 are feature requests. 18 of 19 crash bugs have been closed. 4. Seeking a Mandrake volunteer. If there is someone interested in building Mandrake RPMS which can be hosted on www.scribus.net, please contact me off-list. 5. Thanks to Alex Moskalenko - there are now updated Scribus 1.1.5 Debian packages and nightly cvs builds for Debian. 6. The Scribus team has been invited by Linux User magazine to exhibit again at the London Linux expo in April. Come meet us there. details: http://www.linuxexpo.org.uk 7. Gimp2-pre4 was just released. GIMP 2.0 is close :) You can now edit images within Scribus directly with the GIMP. Today's cvs has a new for selecting external tools, so you can choose between GIMP 1.2.x or GIMP 2.0pre.x This also allows you to have your choice of Ghostscript versions. More news and a mini how to for having parallel installs of Ghostscript coming soon. 8. Inkscape On-Line meeting. Developers from the Scribus team and the Inkscape Team met on-line a few days ago. Many good things are already coming from the meeting. Franz has added some fixes for making text import better from Inkscape SVG files and the Inkscape team is working on support for Open Type fonts, which Scribus already has. With a note of thanks to help from Patrick Smith aka Bandi Pat aka Magic Page for his help,I have built gpg signed Fedora-1 and SuSE 9.0 RPMS for Inkscape 0.37. You can find links on the http://inkscape.org home page. Cheers, Peter

That's what is really needed - sorry in my haste I did not check it properly. Indeed it works and is very useful. I will add it to the menu as Divide (Ctrl+/). It needs one fix: the command must be undone in one step. Now it needs two ctrl-z to fully undo it. >slice= cuts a path into pieces (ie strokes, not filled >paths), with one cut at each point where it intersects >with the cutting path. the rect you give in your >example is a "bad" example, because it's a path >arranged like "topleft corner -> bottomleft >->bottomright ->topright ->topleft", so it has 2 >intersections with the oval, and the path is cut in 3 >pieces (maybe the first and last part should remain >glued, tho, since the path is supposed to be closed). >sort of a razor tool. OK, now I understand. Maybe this can be useful too. I think this should be called "Cut Path" in the menu. Besides, I think this command must also remove the fill, if any is present, from the result, otherwise the result looks very strange and bug-like. Since this command is supposed to work on fill-less paths, I think it's logical if it removes fill from the path it cuts. Also, this command must also be fixed with regard to undo (this one requires 3 undo steps!). Perhaps you'll just have to remove extra calls to sp_document_done. I will now commit your patch with menu commands added and with my compilation fixes, and you'll be able to work from CVS to fix the above problems, OK? _________________________________________________________________ http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=ht…

Yes, one of our developers is creating one. I thought it was up on the sf.net site, but looks like it is not. I will forward to our developers.

freeze
by bulia byak 06 Mar '04

06 Mar '04

Hi, you might want to have a look at: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=910799&group_id=9… This freeze is very similar to the one that was fixed by your patch, the only difference being that it happens on a text object and not on a shape. Maybe you could fix it too, by redoing NRArenaGlyphs the same way you redid NRArenaShape? _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?

Hi all, SuSE 9.0 gpg signed rpms are loaded onto the sourceforge page and I have refreshed the Fedora RPMS to make sure the inkjar option is compiled in. Sorry for the delay, but I did not want to release them until they were done properly. Cheers, Peter

Hi, just tested your new commands. I may not fully understand what they are intended to do, but: - sp_selected_path_cut works identically to the old intersection command. What's the point of having it? - sp_selected_path_slice does very strange things. See the attached svg that shows the original objects, the result of slicing, and then the result of attempting to undo that slicing, which requires three undo commands to fully restore the original object. _________________________________________________________________ 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…
