That sounds like a lot of code. Maybe we can simplify it a bit as follows: - a new clipboard is made for storing defs - whenever anything is cut or copied, the entire defs from the current document are placed on that defs clipboard - whenever clipboard objects (or style) are pasted, the contents of the defs clipboard are merged with the current document defs: -- same name, same content: disregard -- same name, different content: rename both defs and the pasted objects' references (this is the most tricky part) -- different name, same content: just add, no merge An advantage of this approach is that you don't need to scan your objects and select relevant defs when copying. However, you'll still have to scan and re-id what you are pasting in case of name conflicts (although these are likely to be rare). -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm

paste style
by bulia byak 30 Nov '03

30 Nov '03

2003-11-29 bulia byak <bulia@...23...> * src/selection-ch emistry.c src/selection-chemistry.h src/verbs.c src/verbs.h src/shortcuts.c src/interface.c: new function, verb, shortcut (shift-ctrl-v), menu command: paste style (apply the style of copied object to selection). If more than one object is copied, the first one in the clipboard list is taken as the source of the style. One problem with both paste and the new paste style: gradients are not copied between documents. This is because the CSS refers to a gradient which is stored separately in <defs>, and it's not copied or pasted when you copy or paste an object using it. The same will apply to bitmap fills and masks when we implement them. Did anyone think about how to solve this in the most generic and elegant way? -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm

g_free cleanup
by Peter Moulder 30 Nov '03

30 Nov '03

This is a low-priority cleanup that may be objectionable, so I'll post here first. According to the g_free documentation, g_free accepts a NULL argument (as a no-op), yet much code explicitly checks for NULL before calling g_free. Disadvantage of the transformation: - Involves a function call even in the NULL case (unless g_free is a macro or inline function that tests for NULL before passing to the "real" version). I've left a couple of places untransformed where it looks like NULL has a significant probability. If NULL is unlikely, then we're better off having more readable code [and saving a couple of bytes of object code]. - May make diff3 against sodipodi code harder. Strong candidates for applying the transformation are where the tested pointer is something long like `style->text->font_family.value', and src/module.c where it uses a IF_NOT_NULL_FREE macro. Btw, some (but not all) of the searching for this pattern was using a regexp to reduce the probability of accidentally transforming `if (foo) g_free (bar)' for distinct `foo' and `bar'. Any comments on where this transformation (removing the `if') should be applied? In absence of comments, I'll probably commit the patch in its current form (other than ChangeLog date). pjrm.

New Inkscape man page
by Bryce Harrington 30 Nov '03

30 Nov '03

Here's my first draft of a new man page for Inkscape. The old one as mostly just a list of options, most of which were invalid. I created this as POD 'inkscape.pod' and generated the man page 'inkscape.1.in' by running pod2man and changing "...Perl Documentation..." to "GNOME Documentation". This is set up to be installed when you run 'make install', so after installation you can view it via 'man inkscape'. Bryce INKSCAPE(1) GNOME Documentation INKSCAPE(1) NAME Inkscape - a 2D vector graphics editing program. SYNOPSIS "inkscape [options] [filename ...]" options: -?, --help -a, --export-area=x0:y0:x1:y1 -b, --export-background=COLOR -d, --export-dpi=DPI -e, --export-png=FILENAME -f, --file=FILENAME -h, --export-height=HEIGHT -i, --bitmap-icons -p, --print=FILENAME -s, --slideshow -w, --export-width=WIDTH -x, --with-gui -z, --without-gui --export-svg=FILENAME --usage DESCRIPTION Inkscape is a GUI editor for Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) format drawing files, with capabilities similar to Illustrator, CorelDraw, Visio, etc. Supported SVG features include basic shapes, paths, text, alpha blending, transforms, gradients, node editing, svg-to-png export, grouping, and more. . The interface is designed to be comfortable and efficient for skilled users, while remaining conformant to GNOME stan- dards so that users familiar with other GNOME applications can learn it's interface rapidly. SVG is a W3C standard XML format for 2D vector drawing, that allows defining objects in the drawing using points, paths, and primitive shapes. Colors, fonts, line thicknesses, and so forth are specified as 'style' attributes to these objects. The intent is that since SVG is a standard, and since its files are text/xml instead of binary, it is be possible to use SVG files in a sizeable number of programs and for a wide range of uses. Inkscape uses SVG as its native document format, and has the goal of becoming the most fully compliant drawing program for SVG files avail- able in the Open Source community. OPTIONS -?, --help Show help message -a x0:y0:x1:y1, --export-area=x0:y0:x1:y1 Exported area in millimeters (default is full document, 0,0 is lower-left corner) -b COLOR, --export-background=COLOR Background color of exported bitmap (any SVG supported color string) -d DPI, --export-dpi=DPI The resolution used for converting SVG into bitmap (default 72.0) -e FILENAME, --export-png=FILENAME Export document to png file -f FILENAME, --file=FILENAME Open specified document(s) (option string may be excluded) -h HEIGHT, --export-height=HEIGHT The height of generated bitmap in pixels (overwrites dpi) -i, --bitmap-icons Prefer bitmap (xpm) icons to SVG ones -p FILENAME, --print=FILENAME Print document(s) to specified output file (use '| program' for pipe) -s, --slideshow Show given files one-by-one, switch to next on any key/mouse event -w WIDTH, --export-width=WIDTH The width of generated bitmap in pixels (overwrites dpi) -x, --with-gui Try to use X server even if $DISPLAY is not set) -z, --without-gui Do not open GUI and do not use X server (only process files from console). Useful for printing SVG documents. --export-svg=FILENAME Export document to plain SVG file (no "xmlns:sodipodi" names- pace) --usage Display brief usage message KEYBINDINGS See keybindings.txt for a listing of keybindings. DIAGNOSTICS The program returns zero on success or non-zero on failure. A variety of error messages and warnings are printed to STDERR or STD- OUT. If the program behaves erratically with a particular SVG file or crashes, it is sometimes useful to look at this output for clues. For example, it may indicate if a given SVG file contains elements or attributes that are not yet supported by the codebase. EXAMPLES While obviously Inkscape is primarily intended as a GUI application, it can be used for doing SVG processing on the commandline as well. (Note though that other SVG tools and libraries such as librsvg may be better suited for production SVG processing.) Printing an SVG file directly: inkscape filename.svg -p | lpr Converting SVG file to a png: inkscape --export-png=filename.png --export-height=400 --export-width=600 Convert an SVG document using items in the sodipodi namespace to plain SVG: inkscape filename1.svg e --export-svg=filename2.svg ENVIRONMENT DISPLAY to get the default host and display number. FILES $HOME/.inkscape/preferences.xml - The user's preference settings. $HOME/.inkscape/extensions.xml - The filter programs to be used in the application. OTHER INFO The canonical place to find Inkscape info is at http://www.inkscape.org/. The website includes links to other relevant documentation, tutorials, user manual, examples, mailing list archives, the latest released version of the program, and more. SEE ALSO gimp(1) NOTES Ctrl & Shift modify dragging behaviour in some modes Shift click/rubberband usually toggles selection Snapping to guidelines/grid work only for certain modes To break line (or add node) select its endpoints It should import png, bmp, jpg, xpm & gif bitmaps and svg vector images. Open can handle only svg graphics BUGS When importing svg generated with ill2svg, all paths are usually grouped. Ungroup these manually. Many bugs are known; please refer to the website for reviewing the reported ones and to report newly found issues. AUTHORS This codebase owes its existance to a large number of contributors throughout its various incarnations. The following list is certainly incomplete, but serves to recognize the many shoulders on which this application sits: John Bintz, Hans Breuer, Bulia Byak, Chema Celorio, Zbigniew Chyla, Kees Cook, Robert Crosbie, Jon Cruz, Danilo Egan, Frank Felfe, Ted Gould, Bryce Harrington, Nathan Hurst, Thomas Ingham, Bob Jamison, Lau- ris Kaplinski, Lynn Kerby, Petr Kovar, Raph Levien, Vitaly Lipatov, Dmitry G. Mastrukov, Michael Meeks, Frederico Mena, MenTaLguY, Yukihiro Nakai, Christian Neumair, Mitsuru Oka, Christian Schaller, Tom von Schwerdtner, Daniel Yacob, Masatake Yamato, This man page was put together by Bryce Harrington <brycehar@...88... rington.com> HISTORY The codebase that would become Inkscape began life in 1999 as the pro- gram 'GILL', the GNOME Illustrator application, created by Raph Levien. The stated objective for Gill was to eventually support all of SVG. Raph implemented the PostScript bezier imaging model, including stroking and filling, line cap style, line join style, text, etc. A Bonobo Raph's Gill page is at http://www.levien.com/svg/. Work on Gill appears to have slowed or ceased in 2000, perhaps in part due to frus- trations dealing with implementing DOM and SVG. The next incarnation of the codebase was to become the highly popular program Sodipodi, led by Lauris Kaplinkski. The codebase was turned into a very usable illustration program over the course of several year's work, adding several new features, multi-lingual support, port- ing to Windows and other operating systems, and eliminating dependen- cies. Inkscape was formed in 2003 by a number of active Sodipodi developers wanting to take a different direction with the codebase in terms of focus on SVG-compliance, interface look-and-feel, and a desire to open development opportunities to more participants. In a way, this direc- tion marks a return to the codebase's Gill roots. COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE Copyright (C) 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 by Authors.

If you push the KDE people they're more likely to listen. We have plans to push for that too, but our main priority is to roll out a program that WORKS NOW.

Have you ever seen trees organized bottom-up? It may be surprising for you, but it's very convenient. Photoshop users were raging when this secondary toolbox appeared (in version 6 I think). Xara is considered one of the most convenient and usable vector app by most people who have ever used it, and it had such a secondary toolbox from the start. > See how many options gimp provides for the brushtool. > How would you fit them in the top toolbar? Plenty of options is not necessarily an advantage. They may be distracting. As for your example: - First, some of the brush options are very unlikely to be needed every time you use brush, and therefore should be removed into an options dialog tab for this tool. - Second, I do indeed think that even all of the Gimp brush tools on your screenshot can be put into a horizontal toolbar without problems. - Third, this actually does not matter - your Tool options is worse NOT because it's not horizontal but because it sinks and grabs focus and clutters taskbar. If it didn't (i.e. if it was transient as are dialogs in Inkscape, or dockable into a document window), the difference between a tool options dialog and our secondary toolbar would not amount to much because both switch their content when you change tools (which is the main point of having such a dialog). > Regarding dialog sinking which you've never seen on any windows/mac app, > to be honest i haven't used PS for a *long* time, just guessing from the > screenshot - the toolbox and docks, how do they behave if you maximise > the image window? Are they always on top? OF COURSE!!! Moreover, MOST people work in Photoshop with their images maximized. This would be impossible if palettes didn't stay on top. And it's pretty much impossible in Gimp for the same reason. > Can you hide them so that all > space on screen belongs to the image window? Yes, easily, just press Tab to toggle all palettes on or off. In Inkscape, we plan to use the ` key for the same because Tab is taken. > It's all the same thing except - if you minimise PS you minimise all, All including dialogs. Believe me, it's a huge difference in usability. > but you end up having a mess on the bottom of the main window when > minimising separate images. > Subtle differences between WiW and non-WiW. I repeat, I don't care about WiW. In fact I like documents in separate windows better, and Inkscape is going to stay that way. What we're speaking about is the behavior of dialogs, not document windows. > BTW Seems like Xara isn't available anymore, just checked the corel > site, or is there any other company providing the sw? See a screenshot: http://www.xara.com/press/graphics/xarax/screenshots/firestorm.jpg This is default interface, pretty cluttered, but in daily work you can easily remove all the toolbars under the menu except the bottom one. That's the secondary toolbar whose content switches as you switch tools. As you can see, quite a lot of options there (shown for the selector tool), all very compact and convenient. > > > As for the transients - as long as 1.) the toolbox and the docks all behave like one group(for the purpose of minimising, > > > bringing forward, always on top etc), > > > and making the image window active switches the images/layers/channels/paths/ dock to that image, it will do a much better job > > > than WiW has ever done. the images should always be kept as separate objects/windows. > > > > Exactly!

If that it isn't implemented yet, is that a real problem? Of course it is. Users need usable programs NOW. Until there are other widely supported ways to achieve the same goal, we'll use transients. -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm

Info for Translators
by Bryce Harrington 30 Nov '03

30 Nov '03

If you're interested in helping with providing translation for Inkscape, here's a good introductory description of how this works: http://www.gtkmm.org/gtkmm2/docs/tutorial/html/ch20s03.html If you're interested in providing translations, download the .po file for your language from here: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/inkscape/inkscape/po/ If a .po file for your language does not already exist, then create one by copying the inkscape.pot file that gets generated when you run make in the codebase. Edit the file to add or correct translations of the English strings, and then upload your work via the SourceForge patch tracker: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=93438&atid=604308 (Check the Upload checkbox and add your file or patch.) We will be cutting the 0.36 release within a week or two so if you want to update the translations for your language, best to get them in now! Bryce
