Design Approach for Directory-Level Extensions?
by George Chriss 20 Jul '13

20 Jul '13

Hi, I'm seeking advice related to Inkscape Bug #1069248: Feature Request: Add 'Export to hOCR' in Save Dialog https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1069248 I've published a draft implementation of the extension (see comments) and am currently working on the next step, which is to say the ability to create multi-page PDFs from directories of hOCR html files and corresponding images. I have a standalone, draft version of this script based loosely on HocrConverter ( github.com/jbrinley/HocrConverter ); it's functionality I'd like to develop into a second Inkscape extension, if possible. So, two questions: 1) what steps are necessary to include the 'Export as hOCR' extension in Inkscape upstream? and 2) the 'next step' extension ("Create Multi-Page PDF from hOCR HTML Files" or similar): what would be the best way to integrate this into Inkscape? Most (all?) Inkscape exports/effects/operations operate on single documents, so it's a little different in scope. == An alternative method to create text-searchable PDFs within Inkscape is to open an image, create text boxes with opacity >= 0.4% (tested with Evince 3.4.0), then export as PDF using the current extension of the same name. Downsides to this approach are that the text is slightly visible and the loss of structured metadata (i.e., hOCR) which is extensible to other applications (e.g., DjVu, moz-hocr-editor) Sincerely, George

[CAD] Status

Hi, I'm getting forward with the refactoring of the old connectors code. I'm still having trouble when changing the connector type but that does not seem too hard. The current code can be found on launchpad at https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~h-e-6/inkscape/connector-wip/changes It is based on revision 12380. The next TODO is cleaning up the connector context code and moving most of the logic from there to sp-connector.cpp. Regards, Sebastian

Unit testing
by Jon Cruz 19 Jul '13

19 Jul '13

Hi guys, First off, I was wondering how many people out there have been running the unit tests along with builds. Secondly, the system we have now probably is in need of serious updating. Some of the test cases themselves aren't passing correctly, but the framework is also outdated. So does anyone have preferences in this area? Is there some framework we should consider other than Boost Test and Google Test. Or has it not been an issue for others and I should just go ahead and update to whatever keeps things working? Thanks.

Only GimpWheel Mode
by Arshdeep Singh 18 Jul '13

18 Jul '13

In my attempts to operate in the mode when the wheel is being used: I made the following changes (the diff file) - added a 'gboolean _isWheel' to struct ColorSelector - added a function (public) void set_isWheel {_isWheel = TRUE } - added a function (public) gboolean get_isWheel { return _isWheel; } -added a function to paint-selector.cpp 'gboolean isWheel' which returns the _isWheel attribute of its selector. Unfortunately, the value does not stick to TRUE. QuesA: Is this approach wrong ? Is there any intrinsic method by which I can get the information that the Wheel is active ? QuesB: Why is this approach failing ? -- Arshdeep Singh Third Year, Computer Engineering Delhi Technological University Ph: +91-9654115614 https://sites.google.com/site/adsingh1729/home

[Recolor] Good News
by Arshdeep Singh 18 Jul '13

18 Jul '13

Hello all, I have successfully implemented the code that enables dragging of the recolor nodes. Right now, any node you drag shall change the color of the entire selection. Another development: I successfully can edit the color from the Desktop. Here it is for future reference if someone needs it. *Inkscape::Selection *selection = sp_desktop_selection(desktop);* * * * GSList const *items = selection->itemList();* * g_printf("\n\n\t\t Prinitng the id's of Selected objects ");* * for (GSList const *i = items; i != NULL; i = i->next) * * {* * SPObject *obj=reinterpret_cast<SPObject *>(i->data);* * Inkscape::XML::Node* obj_repr = obj->getRepr();* * SPCSSAttr* obj_css = sp_repr_css_attr( obj_repr , "style" );* * sp_repr_css_set_property ( obj_css , "fill", "#00ff00");* * Glib::ustring str;* * sp_repr_css_write_string (obj_css, str);* * obj_repr->setAttribute ("style", str.c_str(), TRUE);* * }* * * Now only the linking task remains. By linking I mean the link b/w the recolor nodes and the selected objects so that only the respective node is changing the color of the respective object. I am facing one problem in that respect: Initializing a string, gchar* id = g_sprintf( "obj%d", i ); is giving a runtime error. The same goes with g_snprintf( ..) Any idea whats going wrong ? -- Arshdeep Singh Third Year, Computer Engineering Delhi Technological University Ph: +91-9654115614 https://sites.google.com/site/adsingh1729/home

Inkscape, Inkscape-web, and bugs etc. Please tell me if I am allowed I see I am still on inkscape devel member, and the Inkscape-web. Inkscape bugs. I still have wiki access, and most of the access is still in place. Regards, Leo Jackson

[Recolor]
by Arshdeep Singh 17 Jul '13

17 Jul '13

Hello all, I am unable to narrow down to the mode when the Wheel is active. (in the code) I have been digging through: sp-color-notebook.h/cpp sp-color-selector.h/cpp sp-color-wheel-selector.h/cpp sp-color-scales.h/cpp I also tried using the SP_IS_COLOR_WHEEL_SELECTOR(o) but I couldn't figure out how to design the final function call that takes as the argument, the list of selected objects when the wheel is actively being used (in the sp-color-notebook) and then changes the colors of the individual objects. This is what is holding me back: Where to put the function ? As a member of ColorSelector ? ColorWheelSelector ? or PaintSelector ? Please help. -- Arshdeep Singh Third Year, Computer Engineering Delhi Technological University Ph: +91-9654115614 https://sites.google.com/site/adsingh1729/home

'path' attribute in mesh branch
by Alex Valavanis 17 Jul '13

17 Jul '13

Hi Tav et al., I noticed that the 'path' attribute was added for meshes in r11406 [1] but it was not listed as being "supported" in attributes.test.h. I wanted to check whether it's safe for me to just change its status to "supported" in the test because it's part of an experimental feature. If we don't do this, the unit test faiils. One possible issue is that the 'path' attribute is listed as only applying to the 'animateMotion' element, while meshes aren't part of the formal SVG standard [2]. Am I reading too much into the meaning of "supported" here? Have I got the wrong end of the stick entirely?! Cheers, AV [1] http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/trunk/revision/11406#src… [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/animate.html#PathAttribute

[Templates] report
by Jan Darowski 17 Jul '13

17 Jul '13

Hi! Last week I've been mainly working on templates filtering and loading info about them from .svg files. This part is ready, but i suspect that later on, some modifications connected with translations can be needed. I've been also diving a little bit in the extensions system to prepare for the procedural templates.
