Actually that's a general problem - I remember seeing the same error several times, which indicates that NR simply does not guard against too big values. Please file a bug, and hopefully our numeric experts will have a look at it one day... _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=dept/bcomm&pgmarket=en-ca&RU=http%3a%2f%2fjoin.ms…

The shadow must be easily recognizable so as to easily differentiate it from objects. A physically constant size is important for that recognizability. _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?

* [, ] rotate selected object(s) by the angle step (default 15 degrees) * Ctrl+[, Ctrl+] rotate selected object(s) by 90 degrees * Alt+[, Alt+] rotate selected object(s) by the angle corresponding to 1 pixel (actual angle depends on zoom) * <, > scale selected object(s) around center by the scale step (default 2 pt) * Ctrl+<, Ctrl+> scale selected object(s) to 50% or 200% respectively * Alt+[, Alt+] scale selected object(s) by 1 pixel (actual size increment depends on zoom) Note: Instead of the < and > keys, you can use the , (comma) and . (period) keys respectively _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.

Try just that and it won't work. What exactly does it do instead? Centers the zoomed point after zoom? Or does not zoom at all? >Oh BTW, this functionality I just described works great on a >scrollwheel, 3-button mouse by clicking (not scrolling-wheel) the middle >button and being able to zoom closer/further from what is being drawing. Yes, this is what I implemented first, and then just copied that code into wheel-zoom. It should work. _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

Yes, ideally any meaningful modifier keypress or mouse action should change mouse cursor and provide a useful statusbar hint. It's in my plans, although currently we still have more urgent usability problems... _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=dept/bcomm&pgmarket=en-ca&RU=http%3a%2f%2fjoin.ms…

>Add/subtract Nodes + scissor tool >http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=880110&group_id=93… Add nodes by clicking anywhere on path: Yes, would be nice. Also editing a bezier curve by dragging it (as opposed to dragging handles). This however involves some nontrivial math so I'm not sure who and when can do it. (Although Gimp does bezier dragging, so we could steal the algorithm there.) Delete nodes by mouse: try ctrl-alt-click Break path at a node: propose a click modifier, it's easy to add >Razor Tool >http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=880099&group_id=93… I'm against "razor" as a separate tool, it would mean a lot of duplication of code from freehand tool, and is a toy anyway. What we need instead is one more boolean op: Divide, where the bottom object is cut into pieces along the path of the top one. This way you can precisely draw and adjust your cut path using regular tools, reuse it if necessary, etc. It's a more generic solution. And it's easy to implement now, by combining Intersect and Subtract. So you can add it to the RFE list and probably to the roadmap. _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=dept/bcomm&pgmarket=en-ca&RU=http%3a%2f%2fjoin.ms…

Add/Subtract Nodes + scissor tool + razor tool
by Jonathan Phillips 19 Jan '04

19 Jan '04

Hello All, After using Inkscape exclusively to design with and comparing it with ADOBE Illustrator and Freehand and having my design buddies use the app, there are a few features I think would be very beneficial to discuss and hopefully implement in the near future. Add/subtract Nodes + scissor tool http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=880110&group_id=93… Razor Tool http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=880099&group_id=93… I know that we are coming up on a release and feature freeze this week, but hopefully we could look at adding these to the next release/roadmap and discuss them.

As I understand it, in hybrid indentation the spaces are needed only for wrapped lines; normal lines only use tabs. Which is why I like it: normally the editor inserts tabs for me, and in the rare cases when I do need to wrap lines (which I usually avoid) I don't mind hitting space a few times so it looks decent. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.

coding standards
by Jonathan Phillips 19 Jan '04

19 Jan '04

I say we lock-in our coding style standards over the next day or so. We have much to clean-up b4 a release date and some tasks are waiting for admin. decisions. TABS I say we lock-in at 4 spaces is a tab, and correct that in the files. GOOD? Please take some time to look at that coding standards document and help clean it up. If we lock-in our standards for the project now, then lotsa ppl can help clean-up the code, help document it, and then we can move forward with C++'ification even more.
