Extended xml editor
by A Sedlak 02 Dec '15

02 Dec '15

Does anyone know how to implement extended xml tag editor in inkscape? Before several years I wrote system for embroidery pattern generator from svg based on private xml tags, but simple XML editor included in inkscape makes it cumbersome. Some very basic functionality of this stitch generator can be seen at: https://youtu.be/VKle5ApsMnA Editor should have functionality very similar to interface of external scripts but before showing dialog, it should first collect actual data from svg by calling proper extension script method (eg .getparams() ) and prepare file similar to inkscape dialog definition file.inx with <param name= ... > and then dynamically generate dialog to allow user modify sewing parameters, after that call classical extension .effect() method to do changes in svg. I want to implement it but I'm totally lost in inkscape source code. I think that all functionality is already somewhere in inkscape but I need someone to show me the way. Tony

Lock guides branch
by Jabier Arraiza 02 Dec '15

02 Dec '15

Hi to all. I just propose to merge the lock guides branch. ¿Any one want review it? https://code.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/lock_guides This allow to lock a guide in the guide dialog. This is part of a future work using gides. In my mind I want to link optionaly a guide to a item or maybe more than one. If this guide is linked, only show if the element/s is selected. Any one think is a bad idea because it add a extra level of complexity on guide usage to the benefits it have? Anyway is not a blocking thing to my proyect but it benefits a lot of it. If any one is interested in the secret proyect, is a LPE applied to groups, this lpe lock for the crossing guides and slice the content of the group into sliced subgroups. Cheers, Jabier.

batch able to ungroup PDF objects and change colors from RGB into CMYK with lookuptable
by Maxence MELIN 02 Dec '15

02 Dec '15

Hi ! I am a beginner with Inkscape but I know it's very powerful ! I have a RGB PDF file with grouped objects and I want to develop a script that : - is able to process several PDF files (e.g. all PDF in a folder) - ungroup the objects of each PDF file - convert RGB PDF to CMYK PDF using a txt lookup table where I can set myself the values (I don't use a lot of colors but I have to get precise CMYK values) I have no idea how to begin such a script, somebody can help to get me started ? Thanks ! Max

Feature proposal to src/extension/internal/grid.cpp
by Timo Korthals 01 Dec '15

01 Dec '15

Dear devs, because of the lack of the feature, that gids can be created just in px-units, I patched (from my pov) a nice feature into "src/extension/internal/grid.cpp". My question regarding this feature on stackexchange [1] has some pretty high interest. You'll find the patch attached to this e-mail and a brief documentation to this feature here [2]. Would be nice to see something like this (or similar) in the near feature. Greetings, Timo [1] http://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/21611/drawing-grid-in-inks… [2] http://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/a/63799/15720 -- Timo Korthals, M.Sc.

Offset LPE
by Jabiertxo Arraiza Cenoz 30 Nov '15

30 Nov '15

Hi to all. This is a mail about the "new" LPE offset I made with the help of the previous work of Liam P. White. in Join Type LPE and the Krzysztof Kosiński on new boolops code. The video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfzvXD9jrAk This code is slow than previous (non lpe) with Livarot, I try to improve it but is slower. By the other side it bring to the user the ability to use non rounded join types on increment offseting. Any way I couldent full remove Livarot from the code want, is using to hadle nonzero fills and for simplify the paths. Not sure about the LPE, I spend a lot of effort improving it, but i couldent get it like Livarot one and think is a blocking problem to substitute SPOffset code like Mc- want, but maybe can be a first step to other dev... Another way can redone or mix it with Libarot but maybe is a back step. But if is not a problem, and while getting better result, we can do a LPE to offset like SPOffet do, allowing to remove SPOffset from the code. Also I hope could make join types diferent than rounded except extrapolated arc :(. Cheers, Jabier.

New Potrace dependency
by Alex Valavanis 29 Nov '15

29 Nov '15

Hi All, Any objections if I go ahead with this merge? https://code.launchpad.net/~valavanisalex/inkscape/fix-1156664 It will introduce a soft dependency on an external copy of libpotrace. It will still build without the external library, but without the trace bitmap/flood tools. Windows Devlibs will need to be updated separately. Cheers, AV

by Jabiertxo Arraiza Cenoz 27 Nov '15

Hi to all. Working with a function that split into subpaths all self crossings of a path, I throw a LPE exception in path.portion I call it with a value for example "path.portion(0,2.9345)" and path size == 4. I think I dont get any continuity problems when creating a portion, anyway it happends, also if active setStitching to the path Here are the function: https://inkscape.org/en/gallery/item/7011 I comment in the code where the exception happens "std::cout << "EXCEPTON HERE\n";" Next logs to this line don't show if exception. Any help is welcome, cheers, Jabier.

Artivity patch for Inkscape
by Sebastian Faubel 27 Nov '15

27 Nov '15

Hello everybody, a few months ago I contacted you the project we're currently doing with the University of the Arts, London. Our 'Artivity' project aims to produce an open source activity tracking platform similar to Zeitgeist. However, we do not only capture high level events such as 'created file' or 'visited website' but also store provenance data about how a document was created and which resources were used in the process. We don't have an official website yet, but if you're interested: here's our repository [0] and a recent article about the current state of the art [1]. The project is still in a rather early stage, but the platform has matured to a point where we think it's worth spreading the word. I asked if it was possible to write extensions for Inkscape in C++. Since this does not seem to be possible at the moment, I want to ask you if you accept a patch to integrate our Artivity extension upstream. I appended a patch file to this e-mail. Please have a look at it and tell us what we have to change in order for you to accept it. The patch is done against the current release tarball of Inkscape (v0.91). You can apply the patch by unpacking the tarball in a directory and the following command: patch -p0 < inkscape-0.91-1artivity0.patch Our 'extension' is only compiled when Inkscape is configured with the option '--enable-artivity'. So the build should behave as normal when configured without this option. If you want to build the extension you will need libartivity [2] installed on your system. The only dependency for building the library is libcurl. So you'll need to install the libcurl development headers. Everything else should be pretty straight forward. I'd really love to have the Artivity extension to be a dynamically loaded plugin. If there's any progress on defining a plugin API for native C++ extensions I'll volunteer in implementing it. I am looking forward to your comments.
