/usr/share/inkscape/extensions/interp.py
by Philip Rhoades 26 Oct '15

People, I didn't get a response from anyone on the user list about the question hereunder so the next Q is: Is it possible to modify interp.py so that it can write the interpolated paths to a text file so that I can create the separate, individual SVGs with my own script? I don't know Python and it would take me forever to understand interp.py - I would be happy to pay someone for the modification . . Thanks, Phil.

New branch SprayTool Improvements
by Jabiertxo Arraiza Cenoz 26 Oct '15

26 Oct '15

Hi to all. I Just finish my new branch focus on Spray Tool. The feature I added is optionaly no overlap with offsets for spray tool. There is a video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uehj4ATOWos Also in the video show at the end a option in roughen LPE to work with spray tool to give always diferent shapes on each spray item. The code for the Spray tool is here: https://code.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/spraytool-no-overlap The code to the roughen LPE is now on trunk. Cheers, Jabier.

Measure improvements
by Jabier Arraiza 21 Oct '15

21 Oct '15

Hi to all. I just propose for merge a branch to improve measure tool. I made a video to show it working. Think is not a bad idea to get reviewers :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OE0cVDGCzbM By the way, all the best. Jabiertxo.

roughen-improvements LPE
by Jabiertxo Arraiza Cenoz 19 Oct '15

19 Oct '15

Hi to all. First of all sorry for the noise whith the roughen related commits, the work is near end but finaly i decide made a new branch to reduce noise and also work in other place. I take the code working better in trunk but not working like I want so I think this week can fix it and propose for merge. Cheers, Jabier.

Hi Will, This is a great question and as the Website administrator I would normally ask you to post this in the appropriate channel. But to help get an answer (especially to your question about how to help to the features you want) I'm posting it to the developers mailing list. If you reply to any of the messages, you should subscribe to the mailing list first by looking at the email footer of that message. Developers and Users: see the message below and reply.

2Gom sync - high potential for regressions after r14226
by Krzysztof Kosiński 18 Oct '15

18 Oct '15

Hello I recently made a commit that finally synchronizes the 2Geom version used in Inkscape and the "upstream" version in 2Geom's Launchpad repository. It compiles and appears to work correctly, but since there were several potentially breaking changes in 2Geom, it has a high potential for regressions. The most important changes in 2Geom are: 1. The sign convention for cross(Point, Point) was flipped to match the one for cross(D2<SBasis>, D2<SBasis>): it is a[X]*b[Y] - a[Y]*b[X], not the other way around. I think I converted all uses, but one can never know. 2. All nearestPoint() methods were renamed to nearestTime(), since they return time (parameter) values, not points. nearestTime() for Path and PathVector returns PathTime and PathVectorTime respectively. PathTime encapsulates a curve index and a time value, while PathVectorTime encapsulated a path index, a curve index and a time value. The reason for using these types instead of extending the range of the time parameter from [0, 1] to [0, N] is twofold: - Packing these two parameters into the double type causes a loss of acuracy as the indices increase. For example, referencing a point that lies on the 32nd curve causes a loss of at least 5 bits of precision. - For PathVector, there is an unnecessary O(N) step involved in mapping the [0, N] time value to path and curve indices. In the future, there will be two additional families of methods: nearestPoint(), which will actually return the nearest point (I avoided adding until the sync is done to simplify porting to the new API), and nearestPosition(), which will compute both the nearest point and the time value. Doing the latter can often save a lot of calculations, since in many cases the point is computed from the time or vice versa. 3. SVGEllipticalArc was renamed to EllipticalArc, and the old EllipticalArc was removed. The only difference between them was that EllipticalArc would throw exceptions if the constructor parameters did not specify a valid arc, whereas SVGEllipticalArc just falls back to a straight line. Additionally, a number of other improvements were made, for example EllipticalArc no longer allocates a copy of itself when transforming it. 4. There was a major cleanup of Path: - Iterating between begin() and end_closed() will skip the linear closing segment if and only if its endpoints coincide exactly. SVGPathParser was modified to retain the old behavior of considering the closing segment degenerate if it is shorter than some specified tolerance. - Internally, the path is now stored as a copy-on-write boost::ptr_vector of Curve. This should give a performance boost, since we are no longer using boost::shared_ptr-based copy-on-write for each curve, but only for entire Paths. - PathVector is now a real class, not a typedef of PathVector, This allows several things to be implemented as methods instead of as standalone functions. - PathSink was improved. Instead of creating a switch-like structure for the result of dynamic_cast of the abstract curve type to more concrete types, please derive from PathSink. - There is a new class called CairoPathSink for outputting 2Geom paths and shapes to Cairo. 5. Circle and Ellipse were fleshed out, and contain many of the methods found in Curve and Path. 6. There is a new intersection API, exposed as a method on shapes and returning a class that contains two time values and the point of intersection. There are methods for Line, Circle, Ellipse, Path and PathVector. Please test and report and regressions, but please make sure to check whether they are really regressions - for example the eraser tool sometimes doesn't work and it has nothing to do with the 2Geom sync, but rather with some faulty code in livarot. Regards, Krzysztof

CMake remaining items
by Marc Jeanmougin 15 Oct '15

15 Oct '15

Hi all, With su_v, we recently compiled some items left to do for CMake builds, so here it is. Feel free to take and fix anything on this list, or add anything that would be missing from it. --------------- CMake todolist -> add -std=c++11 to CXXFLAGS /if needed/ (by libsigc++>2.5.1 for instance)<https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1488079> ->make sure "make check" works and also checks extensions ->port options from configure to cmake : - WITH_GTK3_EXPERIMENTAL - WITH_DBUS - WITH_LOCAL_INSTALL (if dbus is ON) - WITH_LCMS - OSXAPP<https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1502774> - STATIC_BUILD - WITH_SILENT_RULES - WITH_SVG2 / WITH_LPETOOLS <https://gist.github.com/su-v/79199ba0ac5df2e2ac7c> --enable-strict-build -> use pkgconfig for imagemagick so that it correctly sets MAGICKCORE_HDRI_ENABLE and MAGICKCORE_QUANTUM_DEPTH. Also do the proper thing for pango and fontconfig. -> install man pages ->check remaining FIXME -> (automatically update author dialog from authors file?) -> set the version string if not built from a bzr directory - check that all cmake option variables //actually do/ /what they claim Windows : -> Add a variable to devlibs, and more generally get cmake to work as expected with "cmake .; make" on windows -> check dependencies -------------- -- Mc

Inkscape consultant and development needed
by Mats Blakstad 15 Oct '15

15 Oct '15

Hi I organize a postcard and translation project named Globalbility <http://en.globalbility.org/>. We use vectore graphic maps (see map icon in corner) and also the posters at the website is done in SVG (it is automatically created out of our translations using a SVG-template). The website i created using Drupal CMS <https://www.drupal.org/>, and I now look into possibilities to integrate new functionalities related to vector graphic on the website. More specificually I'm interested to look into how to *manipulate SVG using terminal commands*, and possibilities to *make Drupal and Inkscape communicate good (create a module)*. Also some general consulting about *text rendering in inskcape/svg* that is very important for multilingual SVG, and strategic planning for SVG2 for if/when it is ever coming. This is an open source project so anything that might be useful for others will be contributed back to Drupal and/or Inkscape. If anyone are interested and have time, please write me and tell me your working rate. Thanks Mats Blakstad
