LGM 2013
by Alexandre Prokoudine 04 Feb '13

04 Feb '13

Hello team, As you probably already know, registration for LGM 2013 is open, and talk proposals can be submitted. The event is taking place on April 10-13 in Madrid. See http://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2013/. LGM used to have a nice attendance by Inkscape team in 2006-2010, but then, AFAIK, things have changed. Has anybody already made up their minds to participate this year? If you did, I'd be happy to publish news and invite community to attend the event, so that they could meet you in person.

Pointers -> references
by Johan Engelen 30 Jan '13

30 Jan '13

Hi all, A code snippet from trunk: void srgb_to_linear( double* c ) { if( *c < 0.04045 ) { *c /= 12.92; } else { *c = pow( (*c+0.055)/1.055, 2.4 ); } } Alright, this method should not do a NULL check for performance reasons (I assume). But, shouldn't we use a reference in this case then? To signal clearly that the method does not accept NULL pointers without crashing: void srgb_to_linear( double &c ) { if( c < 0.04045 ) { c /= 12.92; } else { c = pow( (c+0.055)/1.055, 2.4 ); } } I'm trying to reduce the number of crashes due to simple NULL pointer crashes. I find such bugs satisfying to fix because it takes really only 1 minute to locate the bug and 1 minute to fix and commit it, but........ Ciao, Johan

dxf2svg extension
by Kris De Gussem 30 Jan '13

30 Jan '13

Hi all Upon crawling through the source code for memory related issues, I noticed some serious issues in the dxf2svg code. Modifying the code (at least in entities2elements.cpp) did not result in recompilation and apparently the code has not been looked after for years (see [1]) and was since long excluded from the building system ([2], [3] and [4]). Is there still some purpose for the code or could we drop the dxf2svg extension code from the source tree? Regards K.

Drawing to Canvas
by Dennis Coyle III 29 Jan '13

29 Jan '13

Hi, I am new to developing for inkscape and was wondering about drawing to the canvas. I've been digging through the src and have figured a few things out but I am still unclear as to which #include files I need add specifically and what the proper functions to call are. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Dennis

pathv_to_linear_and_cubic_beziers, only to linear?
by mathog 25 Jan '13

25 Jan '13

Is there somewhere in Inkscape a function equivalent to: pathv_to_linear_and_cubic_beziers() which only outputs a polyline/polygon instead of a polybezier? The output format I am working on now has the former types, but not the latter. Thanks, David Mathog mathog@...1176... Manager, Sequence Analysis Facility, Biology Division, Caltech

Ideating
by Arshdeep Singh 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

I have a new idea to do something in Inkscape that will help the artists a lot. * * *For the same I have been digging into the files:* fill-and-stroke.(cpp+h) paint-selector.(cpp+h) fill-style.(cpp+h) I could figure out all the details of how the FiLL and STROKE dialog box is drawn plus how it interacts with the objects. What I don't get is the code where the changes are actually applied to the selected objects on the canvas(desktop). *Facts I already know:* 1.) in Inkscape, there are two representations of the document being worked on: Object and XML. 2.) Changes in the XML Representation is automatically reflected in GObject Representation but not vice versa. Please help ! -- demicoder
