Inkscape and Eclipse on Windows
by Bit Barrel 16 Feb '15

16 Feb '15

I want to compile, and most importantly, debug (single stepping etc.) Inkscape on windows but I am stuck at some of the instructions. I followed this: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Using_Eclipse Then this: http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com/BzrEclipse/Installation But at this step there is nothing like "bazaar" in the project window: Go to: *File* --> *New* --> *Project*<<BR>Eclipse opens the new project dialog Under *Bazaar* select *Project From Bazaar* and click *Next*. Eclipse shows the *Eclipse Project From Bazaar* dialog. I installed Eclipse 4.3 Kepler (recommended), but at the download site, there are several sub versions: http://eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/Kepler/SR2 It is not mentioned which sub version of eclipse you are supposed to download. I downloaded "Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers", but maybe that one is not correct?

Text Highlighting
by Martin Owens 13 Feb '15

13 Feb '15

Dear Developers, I've got a request here from one of my clients to add text-highlighting to inkscape/inkview. The y've got a batik extension to do the following to text and tspan elements: background-color: colour value, default is 'transparent' background-mode: [ line-height | bbox ] background-outline: width of padding outside background color (similar to margin in html) background-outline-{top,right,bottom,left}: specific version of above. line-height: default: 'normal' i.e. font-size *1.1 otherwise size expression, used when background-mode is line-height. In which case background color is proportionally divided between ascent/descent to obtain line-height. Tav - The client claims it's not a part of the svg standard, but have talked with some people about adding it into future versions. Before I did any work, I'd like to nail down exactly what you think will happen (so we don't create something that doesn't make it into the standard) I'm attatching the batik extension file for reference. Best Regards, Martin Owens

Hi All. We have submitted requests for bringing out localized Inkscape for Indian languages through various bugs filed. List of all such bugs filed can be looked at https://bugs.launchpad.net/~cpdhutadmal. We have also submitted translations for those languages. Would like to know from the community if we have considered making builds for Indic languages. If so, when are we going to do it. If not, can we have a discussions surrounding the topic ?

Connect figures like ms visio or dia.
by avk 12 Feb '15

12 Feb '15

Hello! I've just downloaded Inkscape and found It very nice. There is all I need which is not lacked in Ms visio. But only one thing dissapointed. Paths connection between figures are static, so while moving figure, connecting path is'nt been updated. I would like to make extension which aggressively snaps path to object. But I can't find propper manual. I suppose to make by analogy with existing exts. So where I can find info about path snapping classes and methods? Or maybe it better to do by parsing xml and dynamically update paths? Also how to acces inner xml? Is it possible to use cpp .dll code in inkscape?

Downstream builds broken: Need distribution of ./autogen.sh
by Alex Valavanis 11 Feb '15

11 Feb '15

Hi All, Please could someone take a look at the issue reported in bug #1407009 [1] and bug #1418943 [2]? In short... A lot of downstream projects like to regenerate the configuration files by running "autoreconf". Builds fail in 0.91.0 because of changes in the internationalization config. To reproduce: autoreconf -fi ./configure # Config dies with a message about po/Makefile.in.in not being created by intltoolize. To fix this, we need to distribute autogen.sh, and preferably update the macros used in configure.ac. Is there any reason not to do this, and backport to 0.91.1? If there's no feedback, I'll press ahead in the next day or so, since it's holding up the distribution of Inkscape 0.91 to some major downstream projects. Best wishes, Alex [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1407009 [2] https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1418943

Matrix parsing tests
by Johan Engelen 11 Feb '15

11 Feb '15

Hi all, Currently, these tests fail: ./svg/svg-affine-test.h:179: Error: Test failed: matrix(1,2,3,4,5,6,) ./svg/svg-affine-test.h:179: Error: Assertion failed: !sp_svg_transform_read(read_fail_tests[i], &cm) ./svg/svg-affine-test.h:179: Error: Test failed: matrix(1,2,3,4,5e6-3) ./svg/svg-affine-test.h:179: Error: Assertion failed: !sp_svg_transform_read(read_fail_tests[i], &cm) ./svg/svg-affine-test.h:179: Error: Test failed: matrix(1,2,3,4,5e6.3) ./svg/svg-affine-test.h:179: Error: Assertion failed: !sp_svg_transform_read(read_fail_tests[i], &cm) ./svg/svg-affine-test.h:179: Error: Test failed: translate(1,) ./svg/svg-affine-test.h:179: Error: Assertion failed: !sp_svg_transform_read(read_fail_tests[i], &cm) ./svg/svg-affine-test.h:179: Error: Test failed: translate(1,6,) ./svg/svg-affine-test.h:179: Error: Assertion failed: !sp_svg_transform_read(read_fail_tests[i], &cm) The current code is too permissive, and (perhaps unintentionally) tries to do its best in making sense of the matrix string. What do you guys think? Should we allow "matrix(1,2,3,4,5,6,)" to become "matrix(1,2,3,4,5,6)" ? (similar for the other failures) thanks, Johan
