abs paths
by bulia byak 23 Dec '03

23 Dec '03

I found these functions for converting between absolute and relative pathnames: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2002-April/msg00142.html They were apparently proposed for glib but not accepted. I copied g_rel2abs() into document.cpp and used it for calculating the absolute pathname. It seems to work well for paths with any number of "." or "..", and the list of recent files now contains absolute pathnames (this fixes https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=860202&group_id=9…). Please test. If any other file will need this function we'll probably need to separate it into a file of its own. _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail http://join.msn.com/?page=dept/bcomm&pgmarket=en-ca&RU=http%3a%2f%2fjoin.ms…

Just upgraded to 3.3.2 - alas, the bug is still there. What else can be done, aside from the "magic fix"?

Now the problem is namespaces. If I drag a document containing one <rect>, it appears as <svg:rect> within inkscape and is not displayed. (Even though in original SVG, there was no prefix.) This is because internally inkscape, simplistically, stores names with prefixes, so a mismatch in a prefix makes an element unrecognizable. I'm not sure what is the best/simplest to fix this: make it so that dragged SVG is inserted without namespace prefixes, or make it so that Inkscape can handle full qualified names (with namespace URI and prefix for each name). I guess the first way is simpler. Mental, can you comment? _________________________________________________________________ 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…

RE: [Inkscape-devel] patch to add point class to libnr
by bulia byak 23 Dec '03

23 Dec '03

Nathan, recently I added a few small functions to nodepath.cpp that I needed for various path operations. They do things like finding the point closest to a given point on a given line (the line is assumed to go through the coordinate center and thus is given only by its tangent), distance from point to line, as well as converting from x/y coordinates to radial and back. I realize that these functions probably belong in a different file, and maybe even in your point class (or maybe they are already implemented somewhere, although I could not find them). However I do not know much of C++ and thus cannot move them there by myself. If you could do that it would be nice, and reading your converted code might be my first tutorial in C++ :) _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963

I also don't see if it can do hyphenation. Can it? In any case, it would be fantastic to get this into Inkscape. But I foresee a lot of work with the UI. _________________________________________________________________ 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…

>I like the idea of making the text stuff more immediate. Of course, most text controls will be in the secondary toolbar at the top, when I (or anyone else, volunteers welcome) have time to put it there. It was discussed and put on the Wiki long ago. _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail http://join.msn.com/?page=dept/bcomm&pgmarket=en-ca&RU=http%3a%2f%2fjoin.ms…

Coding conventions
by unknown＠example.com 22 Dec '03

22 Dec '03

Greetings, So, what sort of coding conventions do people want to adopt? I'm not really a C++ coder so I wont offer up too many suggestions, but I do intend on doing what I can to 'help' developers follow the decided upon conventions by creating Emacs and Vim modelines for the source files...unless someone has a good argument against doing that. At any rate, the only thing that I think is important is 'no tabs'...anyone care to suggest/discuss/argue-without-starting-a-war other conventions (this would include filename schemes for C++ as mentioned in the booleans thread)? *g* -Tom

PathEstimation
by Info Sylvax 22 Dec '03

22 Dec '03

hello, as a graphic designer, I am used to work with Adobe Illustrator and the PathEstimation features built in are very important for me. but I work under Linux now... When will the PathEstimation feature be available in Inkscape? For me, it is the most important feature (for the design of logotypes, arabesques... ) thanks a lot, sylvain
