Re: [Inkscape-devel] Powerstroke: adding/deleting width nodes
by Valerie 18 Aug '12

Augh, can someone do something about those "WARNING **: Inkscape currently only supports color-interpolation-filters = sRGB" messages? They're clogging up my console while I'm trying to get other bug messages. :( (but all my text tool problems are gone, yay!) Anyway, sorry for the delay. > This is weird, because it is exactly these two things that I fixed! > Can you send me an example file? Still Inkscape 0.48+devel r11297. There are two files attached: - The New doc file is the first file that crashed when I was testing Powerstroke. In fact, even now, it crashes Right when I open it. :P Which is rather fortunate because I wasn't able to get a second file that crashed once to crash again, nor the Tests file. - The Tests file is my more systematic attempt to reproduce the error messages. I basically started with the same-ish shape for different algorithms and cusps and attempted to torture the lines until I got a proper error message. In particular, I've marked one shape where it was quite easy to reproduce this error message: WARNING **: Exception during LPE [Unstable!] Power stroke execution. lib2geom exception: Invariants violation (./2geom/piecewise.h:144) Just select with the F2 tool, and drag the diamond back and forth between where the two lines point at. The error message should pop up. I was able to reproduce that error in several other lines but not as systematically. It seems to affect mostly the Linear and Spiro algorithms, though it may affect other line types too. It usually happens when editing the powerstroke width. No matter what I did though, I wasn't able to reproduce a crash in this session (and not for lack of trying).

IDE DEVELOPMENT
by omaida ali 18 Aug '12

18 Aug '12

I need an IDE developed, just like any other drawing tool that users can draw on. The major features is that it would have a tool which users can pick and drop into work space and users would be able to save as SVG and .TeX I want it to be able to perform simple animations in layers and interpolation (ie. users can specify paths and the system generates the other paths automatically ) let me know if you are interested. Interested once can contact me on Skype id: wondaluv gtalk: wondaluv@...400... thanks -- omaida

Font size in pt
by John Smith 09 Aug '12

09 Aug '12

An often requested feature is to be able to view and edit font sizes in points (pt) rather than the Inkscape default pixels (px). In style.cpp the font size is always set to be px os << key << ":" << val->computed << "px;"; // must specify px, see inkscape bug 1221626, mozilla bug 234789 Is there a compelling reason why Inkscape always uses px units for font sizes ? The mozilla bug 234789 seems more related to the case of having no unit specified. Any way to access these old bugs reports like 1221626 ?

Queries about lib2geom
by Shriramana Sharma 07 Aug '12

07 Aug '12

Hello people. I'm interested in integrating lib2geom on a project I'm currently working on where I require strokes to be converted to paths and unions of paths to be produced. Do I understand correctly that lib2geom provides these (among other) facilities? Whatever documentation material I am able to turn up on the net is at least a few years old. Can anyone please confirm whether lib2geom (and the proposed transition of inkscape to it) is being worked upon? Please also point me to from where I can download the current lib2geom snapshot or how I can clone the repo. I hope I don't have to download the entire inkscape repo for this. Please also clarify whether the same location contains the python bindings as well or if different, kindly point me to where I can get that as well. Thank you very much! -- Shriramana Sharma

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.)
