devlibs update?
by Nicolas Dufour 29 Jan '12

29 Jan '12

Hi, Apparently the latest GTK version (2.24.8) fixes lots of Windows issues, including tablet support (details on http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2011-November/msg00026.html). Just tested with a local modified version of Inkscape, based on revision 10922, and I can confirm at least a bug and a regression (#786667 "Color drag and drop broken" and #707255 "Layer dialog - symbols disappear when mouse hover over") are gone. More tests planned later with a Wacom Bamboo tablet. BTW, the current devlibs introduced a regression in the trunk and 0.48.2 version (see #173116 Gtk::PixbufError exception not caught in Windows), and need to be recompiled to to prevent Inkscape from crashing on Windows when opening an invalid image. Krzysztof, would you be willing to update and recompile the devlibs so that more users can test before we release 0.48.3? Regards, -- Nicolas

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Powerstroke requests
by Valerie 25 Jan '12

25 Jan '12

Awesome! Some feedback of my own: 1) So powerstroke is now available from the shapes drop-down: Very neat! Can the "eclipse" form also be replaced by a powerstroke? It's actually the most common usage scenario. Also, I recommend adding a separation line between the powerstrokes and "from clipboard", to show that they are different functions. 2) Cusp styles are currently either Beveled or Rounded. How complicated is the coding for an "Angled" option? For font designers in particular, thick powerstrokes using successions of angled segments render a bit strangely, when some may be hoping for sharp edges (Example: the letter A with a sharp top) (I thought I suggested this before, but the mail never seems to have reached the mail archive...) 3) Does anybody think he might need an "assymetric" option? 4) +1 on the "Filled Powerstroke" (or whatever it will be called) option in the drop down. As for manually setting the width value for powerstroke points, I suggest click-enter for a numerical box to appear near the point, for the user to input the value. ------------------------------ Message: 6 Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2012 05:57:42 -0800 (PST) From: Defiant00 <defiant00@...400...> Subject: Re: [Inkscape-devel] Powerstroke requests To: inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net Message-ID: <1327413462235-4335274.post@...2730...> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Hello again, here's some further feedback: 1) A way to directly set width values for Powerstroke points (or at least a command that sets the value to zero without having to directly edit the XML) would be useful. 2) I noticed the 'Triangle in' and 'Triangle out' shapes now use Powerstroke. Is there any chance we could get an extra shape option added to that drop down that produces both a Powerstroke and the clone original LPE at the same time. 3) Adding and removing Powerstroke control points should not require switching to another control and back to have them show up properly. 4) The 'Smoothness' control cannot be dragged (at least on Windows 7). Instead, it changes values by 0.01-0.03 (appears to be random) and then loses focus. Regards, Aaron

Glad to hear that "Angled" cusp style is the highest priority right now! It's probably the biggest thing missing functionality-wise. I'm not surprised that it'd take some time to code though. By the way, the interpolator type I tested most right now is "CubicBezierJohan", yes. Currently it seems to be the algorithm with the most predictable results. CubicBezierFit and SpiroInterpolator do seem to produce some interesting results though, I'm still trying to figure out use cases.

IRC meeting, anyone interested?
by Josh Andler 24 Jan '12

24 Jan '12

Hey All, Who would be interested in a good old fashioned IRC meeting to discuss various things about the project? It seems like other projects seem to be able to pull them together (on a regular basis no less), so why not us? I would especially like if we could get the likes of Krzysztof, Johan, Tavmjong, Jasper, Jon, Alex, Kris, and anyone else who would be interested. This especially goes for anyone who lurks on the devel list who is interested in contributing but still hasn't introduced themselves yet (they're always around). ;) I think it would be good to get people together to help us help each other. I think one of the things we should remember is that sometimes reviewing others work or just answering questions, can be more valuable than actually writing code yourself. I'm not asking for a huge time commitment or anything. If you are interested please chime in with any preferred dates or times so we can coordinate based on global distribution of participants. I'll throw out the 18th as a possible date... mainly because it's not terribly likely that this will happen and the 18th is my birthday so that's my wish. :P Cheers, Josh

Hi all, I don't know what to work on anymore... Please help me out by test driving the Powerstroke LPE and tell me what you dislike and what you'd like to be added. (I already know you want it to work with tablets, I am waiting for my tablet to arrive...) Ciao, Johan

New version of mesh branch.
by Tavmjong Bah 24 Jan '12

24 Jan '12

Hi, I just checked in a new version of my mesh branch. There was some major restructuring to use a simple array of nodes for the internal representation rather than the complicated side and corner classes I had before. This was motivated by adding support for tensor meshes which naturally calls for an array. Tensor meshes were added as an experiment to see if they would help in smoothing color transitions across patch boundaries (they don't seem to help very much) and are not envisioned to be part of the SVG specification for meshes. New/newish features: Corner operations: Ctrl-B: Toggle selected patch sides between linear and curve. (Select both corner nodes of side to select side.) Ctrl-C: Attempt to convert selected sides into elliptical arcs by changing the length of the Bezier handles. Ctrl-G: Toggle on/off tensor points for selected patches. (Select all four corner nodes of a patch to select patch.) Ctrl-J: Attempt to smooth color transition around a corner by changing length of Bezier handles. This needs lots of work to make it truly useful. Ctrl-K: Sample colors underneath mesh at corner nodes. For nodes at edge of mesh, move sample point inside mesh. Older features: 1. Create a simple one patch square mesh the size of an objects bounding box. (Select the third button on the Gradient Tool-Tool Bar and then click-drag on object. You won't see a change as the default mesh has all four corner colors set to the former object color. Click on object again to see mesh handles.) 2. Drag corner nodes (diamonds). 3. Change color of corner nodes. 4. Drag handles (circles). There is no indication of what handle belongs with which corner node or path so it can be confusing. And all handles are shown. (Should be able to toggle on/off handle visibility.) 5. Divide a row or column of patches into two rows or columns. (Double click on the lines connecting corner nodes. Double clicking elsewhere may lead to a crash.) The row/column will be split at the place you click. 6. Save the mesh. The mesh is saved in the proposed SVG standard format (likely to change). 7. Read in saved meshes. Bugs: * Frequent crashes. * Changing node color isn't saved until a node is moved. * Linear patch sides are shown as non-linear when corner node moved. * Selected nodes become unselected when any of the corner operations are done. * etc. Note, a trunk version of the Cairo rendering library is needed.

Wacom inkling files
by Gaetano Lo Nigro 22 Jan '12

22 Jan '12

Good morning guys, I asked few files to a guy who bought, the new Wacom-inkling just in case if somebody want have a look on them. The Wacom website reports the possibility to record layers, for instance, to separate preparatory and final drawings. These layers are then retained after import. It creates native bitmap or vector versions of your sketches for Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator or Autodesk Sketchbook. With a simple click you can directly transfer your sketches into your preferred software. These imported versions retain the layers and line weights of your original sketches. Additionally, you can save all sketches in the native Inkling format or as single layer files in other popular image formats such as JPEG, PNG, PDF or SVG. You can find more details here with a full review from the owner`s sketch http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=11278 You ll fin attached on the forum a svg file in three layers, pdf, ai, and wac directly Have a nice day

SpCursor
by Kris De Gussem 21 Jan '12

21 Jan '12

Hi all Is there a reason why the parameters named xpm of the functions in src/sp-cursor.cpp are refering to gchars and not guchars? As a result a signed char is used as index for colorMap from line 153 on and AFAIK using signed chars to index is risky business Regards K
