Sodipodi flags 1.6
by Christian Schaller 10 Jan '04

10 Jan '04

Sodipodi flags 1.6 This is the fourth release of the Sodipodi flag collection. This collection currently consist of over 300 different international and local flags. The flags are donated by their authors into the public domain. The flags are in the scalable and free SVG format which today is supported by most major vector graphics programs. Most flags are done using the Sodipodi vector drawing application. In others words these are free flags in a free format made with a free application. The core collection of flags in this collection are meant to be as accurate as possible. If you discover flags in here that have wrong proportions or wrong colors then please update the flag with the correct colors or sizes and send it to us with an explanation. New flags are of course also welcomed, but remember we need a clear statement from you that you dedicate the flag to the public domain, preferably using the Creative Commons public domain dedication process found here: http://creativecommons.org/license/publicdomain-2 We do hope that many of you take some time to help us make this an evenmore complete collection; for instance the missing international flags per ISO 3166 are: bm, BERMUDA ky, CAYMAN ISLANDS fk, FALKLAND ISLANDS (MALVINAS) sh, SAINT HELENA tc, TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS vg, VIRGIN ISLANDS, BRITISH We hope that this collection can be useful to people in many different settings be that in relation to software, publishing, education and so on. The assembly of this huge collection has been made possible thanks to the hard work of many people. We big thank you goes to all our contributors listed in the CREDITS file distributed with this package. We would especially like to thank Tobias Jacobs who contributed most of the new flags for this release. You can see all of the currently contributed flags here: http://www.sodipodi.com/index.php3?section=clipart/flags The creation of these flags had not been possible without the hard work that free software coders have put into great tools like Sodipodi, Inkscape and librsvg. The projects have helped increase the viability of SVG in free and open source software a lot. Both these two tools and the new Inkscape project do need more coders in order to improve further. For instance thanks to the help of Caleb Moore so does the latest versions of Nautilus(librsvg) render all these flags perfectly. People interested in working on these and other issues are highly encouraged to join the project mailing-lists. You find the projects here: http://www.sodipodi.org http://librsvg.sf.net http://www.inkscape.org You can download the package in either tar.gz or zip format from the sourceforge file area: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/sodipodi/sodipodi-flags-1.6.tar.bz2?down… http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/sodipodi/sodipodi-flags-1.6.zip?download

Call for MS Windows peoples
by Jon A.Cruz 09 Jan '04

09 Jan '04

There are a few things for win32 builds that I have been starting to get hammered out. However, I'd probably need some help with it (as I don't think just editing and checking in my changes from Linux would be the best way) So... I'd like to make a call for all present and potential Windows users. If you can compile Inkscape yourself or not, doesn't matter. I'd just like to find who can help maybe just run it on different setups. Windows 95/98/ME users are especially needed. Of people who can compile Inkscape for Win32, we'd like to know your exact setup. It would be nice to be able to try it on a few different build pathways. If you want to just sound off, you can reply directly to me at jon@...155...

Warning / bug in nodepath.cpp
by Bob Jamison 09 Jan '04

09 Jan '04

I was going through some files, and cleaning up the minor warnings we get with -Wall. However, some are not minor! (-Wall is good. -Wall is our friend!) Anyway, there is a warning that 'xn' and 'xp' are used unitialized in nodepath.cpp at line 2081. There are several places in SP/Ink code where apparently the author expects an uninitialized double to be 0.0, and I thought this was one of them. On closer inspection, the troublesome code is the following. At the indicated line, if xn and xp are 0.0, that would make the condition always false. It would be, and probably is, the same as an '#IF 0'. I doubt if that is the intention. What should we do? Bob node_request (SPKnot *knot, NRPoint *p, guint state, gpointer data) { SPPathNode * n; double yn, xn, yp, xp; double an, ap, na, pa; double d_an, d_ap, d_na, d_pa; gboolean collinear = FALSE; NRPoint c; NRPoint pr; n = (SPPathNode *) data; if (state & GDK_CONTROL_MASK) { // constrained motion ##### THIS LINE #######: if (state & GDK_MOD1_MASK && !(xn == 0 && xp == 0)) { // sliding on handles, only if at least one of the... // calculate relative distances of control points yn = n->n.pos.y - n->pos.y; xn = n->n.pos.x - n->pos.x; if (xn < 0) { xn = -xn; yn = -yn; } // limit the ....

Win32 & SHGetSpecialFolderPath()
by Bob Jamison 09 Jan '04

09 Jan '04

I tested it on a Win98 box, and it works nicely. So I think we have the Win9x case covered by this function, and the NT+ case covered by the glib call. Creates \Windows\Profiles\%USER%\Application Data\Inkscape if it doesn't exist, and puts preferences.xml in it. So I -think- we are done with this one. Bob

Tried that. Unfortunately it then only affects the visible menu item ("pt"); all the other items in the menu remain large, unless I cater to each one specifically. _________________________________________________________________ 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…

Since I created the makefiles for a non-automated PC world, I have the date hardcoded. I guess now that I can automate the builds, something like DTG = `date +%y%m%d.%H%M` VERSION = "0.37cvs${DTG}" might work. This would make "0.37cvs040107.1556" Is that OK? This is in case more than one build happens to occur in a day. And it remains sortable. Bob
