Fwd: possible bug?

*push* if noone answers till tomorrow i will open a bug report for it. regards, TimeWaster -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Inkscape-devel] possible bug? Date: 15.12.2013 16:15 From: TimeWaster <sebi@...2963...> To: Inkscape Devel Mailingliste <inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net> Reply-To: i have the attached document: <svg [...] width="602.36218" height="336.04724" [...] viewBox="0 0 170 94.840002"> <sodipodi:namedview [...] inkscape:document-units="mm" [...] > in inkscape "custom size" is set to px, "default units" is set to mm. width and heigth are the size of the document in pixel, all other numbers are in mm. (they all have no unit specified, but i know it because of the dimensions of the drawing) shouldn't the width and height parameter be width="602.36218px" instead of width="602.36218" since the document wide unit is mm (even the viewBox is in mm)? i am using r12832 right now. i think this is related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/605089 but it says it is fixed there, which i cannot confirm. and even if you say that width should always be in px, having no explicit unit given makes it harder (more obfuscated) for people to understand and parse the documents. regards, TimeWaster ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.

lib2geom development, make test fail?
by Andreas Lobinger 17 Dec '13

17 Dec '13

Hello, i wanted to use lib2geom in an own project and have difficulties to compile and run correctly; so my co from bzr_lp can cmake, make, but make test fails (for 6 tests, starting with bezier). This is also visible in the toys. Can someone point me please, how to connect to the development and how and where to ask questions. It also would be nice, to clarify the dependencies (BLAS is not found, but it's not clear, what this means). Wishing a happy day, Andreas

Fwd: Re: [scribus-dev] C++11
by Johan Engelen 16 Dec '13

Hi all, I asked the Scribus guys what their plans are regarding C++11. They had not thought about it much, but I got a very interesting reply, that is relevant for us too. Please read below. regards, Johan -------- Original Message -------- From: - Thu Nov 07 23:35:19 2013 Date: Thu, 07 Nov 2013 02:21:04 +0100 From: Jean Ghali <jghali@...373...> To: Scribus Development Mailing List <scribus-dev@...3050...>, jbc.engelen@...2592... Subject: Re: [scribus-dev] C++11 Hi, For making the switch to C++11, all C++ dependencies have to be compiled using C++11 too. It is indeed dangerous to link C++11 objects and C++ objects compiled according to previous standards: - http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Cxx11AbiCompatibility - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9408656/do-we-need-to-recompile-librarie… - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10065055/why-is-stdlist-bigger-on-c11 So basically the main requirements for us to switch to C++11 would be that qt binaries provided by distros are compiled according to C++11. I don't known if this is the case currently but i doubt it. Cheers, Jean Ghali Le 06/11/2013 20:05, Johan Engelen a écrit : > Hi all, > I'm rooting for requiring C++11 for lib2geom ASAP.

Recognizing a circle from a 1 + 3N Bezier description?
by mathog 16 Dec '13

16 Dec '13

SVG has a radial gradient type but neither EMF nor EMF+ do. Instead EMF+ has a gradient type that can be generalized to a radial: set color1 at an interior point and color2 on a closed path around it, and the intermediate points' colors are determined by the position along the ray from the center to the bounding curve. When PowerPoint saves a radial gradient via "save picture as" to an EMF file it also creates an EMF+ description. In the cases tested those paths looks like this: 1213769.875000,856342.937500 < 1213769.875000,1358353.125000 806810.187500,1765312.875000 304800.000000,1765312.875000 < -197210.218750,1765312.875000 -604169.937500,1358353.125000 -604169.937500,856342.937500 < -604169.937500,354332.718750 -197210.218750,-52627.000000 304800.000000,-52627.000000 < 806810.187500,-52627.000000 1213769.875000,354332.718750 1213769.875000,856342.937500 < The first point has type "start" and all the others have type "Bezier. The "<" indicates the points that are actually on the circle, and the points are grouped to emphasize how they work. These correspond to this drawing, with the point at 9:00 repeated once: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fx_files/6844/2/CircleApproxbyCubicB… If the goal is to import this gradient from the EMF+ this bezier must be recognized as a circle. That might also be worthwhile for other circles encoded as a similar path. Now if the circles were only ever encoded with 13 points in this manner it would be pretty easy to spot one and convert it to a circle. But there might be 25 points in another circle representation, or something else. Does anyone know of a relatively straightforward test to apply to a curve like this (1 + 3N Bezier points) to see if it is a circle (within an error limit)? For the gradients we also have the location of the center point, but that won't be true for general curves. Thanks, David Mathog mathog@...1176...

better targets for task/note-annotations on website
by Jared Meidal 16 Dec '13

16 Dec '13

I really like how the new website is functioning and it seems a slick way to bring in users and developers both into engaging with Inkscape! I've seen a number of text notes appearing on page content which seem to be reminders for tasks or content-to-come. I'm really glad for the diversity of contributors on the site, but as notes/tasks/needs are published on the site (rather than actual useful content itself) I'd like to see an alternative destination established before these notes sit out there too long on our live site. For example, http://inkscape.org/en/download/windows/ contains the line at the top "[[website TODO : pretty buttons showing main download link, + maybe screenshots of the installer.]]" This is a useful reminder to the website author-community, but not text that should reside on the live site. Would a better action be to move these annotations into the launchpad templates/bugs area, or can the web CMS handle notes in the backend for the developers only? Thanks, --Jared

Dealing with OS reported bugs
by Kris De Gussem 16 Dec '13

16 Dec '13

Hi all I was wondering how to deal with bug reports automatically submitted by the operating system. It is often hard to verify for these bugs how exactly one could to provoke the issue but on the other hand it may be clear from the backtrace that some null pointer check (or related thing) is missing). See for example https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/inkscape/+bug/1172484 for which I added a patch. See for example https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/inkscape/+bug/1219264 which might be solved by trunk revision 12851 (or maybe revision 12838). Do we mark these reports as fix committed (although we do not know how to provoke the issue)? Do we add a patch and wait for a specific amount of time for reactions? Any experiences on how is it dealt with for Ubuntu? Kind regards K

I've added a simple rss feed to the tutorials page: http://inkscape.org/en/learn/tutorials/ It's pulling in items from my inkscape tutorials favorites folder on deviantArt and I think it looks rather nice. Thoughts? Martin,

New website
by Hinerangi Courtenay 08 Dec '13

08 Dec '13

Hello Inkscape devs, I just noticed today that the new website is up - congrats! I especially love the gallery with all the user artwork. :-) I wanted to help out with the front-end a few months back but got bogged down with my studies, but now I have more free time on my hands. I was thinking maybe I could tweak the visual aspects to work better together (font sizes, spacing, etc), and maybe make the site responsive (adapted for smartphones and tablets)? There were also a few pages that were designed but not implemented - if I did the html/css would someone be able to develop them into the website? Also, good idea leaving out the flags in the language switcher (I had them in there before learning about website i18n and l10n, thinking they'd help to quickly find a language). Thanks for being awesome! Hine
