export eps missing text elements
by Joaquin Rapela 01 Aug '12

01 Aug '12

Hello, I have an eps figure that I generated in the program R (figureToImport.eps attached), I imported it into Inkscape, I saved into an svg file (tmp.svg attached), eps file (tmp.eps attached), and pdf file (tmp.pdf attached). The problem is that the eps file, but not the svg or pdf files, are missing all the text of the figure. I am using Inkscape 0.48.3.1 r9886 (Mar 29 2012) on Linux. Linux diogenes 3.2.0-26-generic #41-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 14 16:26:01 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux I am running cairo: Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ ii libcairo2 1.10.2-6.1ubun The Cairo 2D vector graphics library I should add that if I import the attached eps files into Adobe Illustrator everything works well. But I would prefer to use free software. I am proud of having built a complete research project with free software (Linux, R, latex, ...) and I would not like to ruin my record for the generation of the paper graphics :) I would greatly appreciate any hint on the reasons and/or solution to this problem. Thanks in advance, Joaquin PS: I posted a similar message to inkscape-user yesterday. But I received no reply. I hope I am not being untidy in posting the same message to multiple lists.

GTK+ 3 build complete
by Alex Valavanis 30 Jul '12

30 Jul '12

Hi All, Trunk now builds against GTK+ 3. We now need to do a serious amount of testing... there are bound to be a large number of runtime errors! To build against GTK+ 3, you need to have upstream gdl installed. Configure the build using "configure --enable-gtk3-experimental" then run "make" as normal. Cheers, AV

Exchanging lcms dll
by Jasper van de Gronde 28 Jul '12

28 Jul '12

There appears to be a relocation related problem with the Little CMS dll on Windows, see this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/453931 Now, someone pointed to an alternative version of the dll that seems to behave better in this respect. Can we just swap out our version of the dll for that one, or am I overlooking something? Perhaps we desperately need lcms to be compiled with certain settings? (The alternative is probably to try and recompile it ourselves and see where that gets us.)

Hey all, I'll be on vacation through the 5th and will be without net access for the last 7 days of it (and limited until that point). Just don't want anyone to think I'm intentionally being unresponsive. Cheers, Josh

Retire Gradient Editor
by John Smith 26 Jul '12

26 Jul '12

I propose we retire the Gradient Editor dialog before 0.49 Any objections or concerns ? For retiring: * Old, not maintained code with many bug reports still piling up * Almost all functionality is available in the Gradient toolbar / on-canvas editing now For keeping: * Can be used to edit gradients in the document but not used on-canvas. Here is the bug tracking the gradient editor retirement https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/950677

Backwards compatibility issues of using a new SVG attribute for representing guides
by Samuel Chase 23 Jul '12

23 Jul '12

Hello Everyone, I'm working on improving the usability of guides as a GSoC project. My mentor (Johan), suggested that henceforth "inkscape:guide" be used instead of "sodipodi:guide" as the SVG attribute for representing guides. In my branch one of the things we worked on was to change the co-ordinate system used by guides from desktop co-ordinates to document co-ordinates. Snapping, general guide operations etc. seem to be working properly after the co-ordinate change in my branch. A problem arises when a user opens an SVG that has "sodipodi:guide" using a build of Inkscape that uses "inkscape:guide" as the attribute. What should (ideally) happen in this situation? Johan suggested the idea of creating an extension script that transforms between new and old guides. The user will be made aware of this extension when an incompatibility is detected. Samuel

LPE: Curvature normal (request)
by Simon A. Eugster 23 Jul '12

23 Jul '12

Hi Devs, hi Maximilian, I have a wish for a new path effect – or a modified one, since it is quite similar to the Ruler effect (that's why I CCed Maximilian who wrote it). It should act like a ruler (i.e. draw lines perpendicular to the path in regular intervals), *but* their length should correspond to the curvature, showing how much the curve is bent (second derivative). Example image: http://granjow.net/uploads/bugs/curvature-normal.png For Bézier curves this could be done analytically, but I would wish it to be numerically (i.e. the derivative over some distance like 10 page pixels). The use case I have in mind is bow making, to visualize irregularities in how the bow bends. Best explained in an image, here in the first post: http://www.fletchers-corner.de/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=17924&start=75 But obviously that's not the only thing one could use it for :) Could you do this? It would be absolutely great (… at least for bowyers :D) to have this in Inkscape! Simon
