Shebangs in scripts (LP #602005)
by Krzysztof Kosiński 25 Jul '10

25 Jul '10

Hello LP bug #602005 says that Lintian complains about our Python extensions. They are marked as executable but don't have a shebang line. Leo added the shebangs but I think this is wrong. Those scripts are not meant to be executed directly by the user, only by the Python interpreter started by Inkscape. The proper solution is to mark the extension scripts non-executable. It will not prevent executing them by the Python interpreter, it will only prevent the user from accidentally running them as standalone programs and suppress the warnings. Regards, Krzysztof

I will be unavailable for a bit in a few weeks...
by Joshua A. Andler 25 Jul '10

25 Jul '10

Hey All, As some of you know, I've had health issues over the past 2 years and both of my hips have gone necrotic (dead bones). So, in one calendar month from today (Aug 24th) I am scheduled to have a dual hip replacement. I am unsure of how long the recovery will take, but I will try to be active again as soon as I can. Don't worry, 0.48 will be out long before then. ;) I hope that the lead-up to this will not interfere with my administration of GSoC or other duties, and that I can return to being an active contributor again quickly. Sorry this seems random, I was just thinking about it and felt I needed to let all of our dev community know. Cheers, Josh

SVG Working Group: Possible New Path Type
by Tavmjong Bah 24 Jul '10

24 Jul '10

Hi, At the SVG Working Group meeting yesterday there was a discussion on adding a new path type to SVG that would allow a path to be drawn that passes automatically through a list of points. You can read a blog post from Doug Schepers about the idea at: http://schepers.cc/?p=243 We discussed the possibility of using Spiro paths rather than the initially proposed Catmull-Rom curves as Inksscape and FontForge already support Spiro curves. (Spiro curves may, however, be overkill and there are patent issues.) Your feedback would be appreciated. Tav

Bamboo Pen & Touch
by Mark T 23 Jul '10

23 Jul '10

Hi Inkscape.rs! Just installed a new Wacom Bamboo Pen & Touch. Some videoReviews on uTube. Running with Inkscape 0.47+devel r9596. It's wonderful to see it appear in the Input Devices Config. Not sure how to drive the test area. It is apparently pressure sensitive. Not seeing this so far. Two fingered zooming works pretty well. Wild having touch and pen active. There is a big button on the pad to turn off the touch. I am on Vista Home Premium. Are there any config settings anyone would like me to test? Markt

SVG Working Group: Markers
by Tavmjong Bah 21 Jul '10

21 Jul '10

Hi, There was a lengthy discussion about markers at yesterday's SVG teleconference. At least one browser vendor would like to change the behavior of markers in the SVG1.1 spec. At the moment, markers inherit the style of their parent at the point they are defined: <g fill="black" stroke="red> <marker id="marker1"> <rect width="10" height="10"/> </marker> <path marker-start="url(#marker1)" d="M 30 60 L 80 60 L 80 110 Z"/> <g> would produce a marker on a path. Both the marker and path would have a black fill and a red stroke. On the other hand: <g fill="green" stroke="yellow> <marker id="marker2"> <rect width="10" height="10"/> </marker> <g> <g fill="black" stroke="red> <marker id="marker2"> <rect width="10" height="10"/> </marker> <path marker-start="url(#marker2)" d="M 30 60 L 80 60 L 80 110 Z"/> <g> would produce a marker on a path with the marker having a green fill and yellow stroke. The proposal is to change the behavior so that the marker fill and stroke are defined at the point they are referenced (like the <use> object). This would allow markers to take the color of the path they are attached to. It was claimed that a search of roughly 30,000 SVG's collected from the Web finds only one SVG that relies on the current spec's behavior... namely the SVG from the W3C test suite that specifically tests the behavior. I'm not sure if this is actually true as many Inkscape's markers don't include fill or stroke color. Since they are defined in the <defs> section, the fill defaults to black. If the marker fill were defined at the point of reference, I would think that it would take the object's fill... which is normally "none" for a path with an arrowhead. I pointed out that this does not solve the typical Inkscape user's problem since what most user's want is for the marker fill to be the same color as the object's stroke color, see: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/165865 The plan is to reevaluate the proper way to handle markers for SVG2 and then look at what changes to 1.1 can be made that will be compatible with SVG2. This could include changing the spec as described above. Tav BTW, why do some Inkscape markers include "font-size" in their style?

Updating our 2geom
by unknown＠example.com 21 Jul '10

21 Jul '10

Hi all, Now that 0.48 is branched off, we can work towards updating our 2geom copy. I think the most problematic 2geom change is the renaming of "Geom::Matrix" to "Geom::Affine". Nathan, I read in one of your mails that you already worked on renaming those in Inkscape? Ciao, Johan

Re: [Inkscape-devel] After the dbus api merge, trunk (9614) fails to build on osx

Hi, i get similar errors while building inkscape on windows7 with dbus-wrapper.c I'm not familiar with all that stuff, so i attached the log file ;) Sincerely, UweSch 1) make error due to hardcoded 'libtoolize' in autogen.sh > $ make > CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && /bin/sh /Volumes/blue/src/Inkscape/src/inkscape-repo/mp-x11/missing --run aclocal-1.11 > cd . && /bin/sh /Volumes/blue/src/Inkscape/src/inkscape-repo/mp-x11/missing --run automake-1.11 --foreign > configure.ac:33: required file `./ltmain.sh' not found > make: *** [Makefile.in] Error 1 On OS X libtool and libtoolize are installed as 'glibtool' and 'glibtoolize'. autogen.sh should either test for it or maybe use the environment variables ($LIBTOOL, $LIBTOOLIZE) which could be set in the packaging script (packaging/macosx/osx-build.sh).

DXF import plugin (dxf_input.py) bugs, missing features and their solutions.
by dormouse 19 Jul '10

19 Jul '10

Hello! Let me introduce myself to group. My name is Vladimir Kalyaev (http://kalyaev.com) one of the "gcodetools" developers. gcodetools is the Inkscape extension to add CNC functionality. It generates G-Codes from SVG drawings and aimed to be a complete CAD/CAM freeware open-source workflow. DXF import bugs. I've discovered 2 major bugs in the latest dxf_import.py release. Both of them are incorrect last "bulget" (having curvature) segment import of LWPOLYLINE. This plugin simply throws away this segment and replaces it with a straight line. Incorrect import example (straight lines point to errorneus lines. Arcs should be there): http://kalyaev.com/2010/20100513/inkscape-direct.png The source code was modified by me to correct these errors. Now all closed polylines imports correctly to Inkscape. Also there is another missing feature: POINT primitive import due to SVG limitation (there is no POINT at all inside SVG specification). dxf_import.py imports POINTS as two circular segments and they are totally indistinguishable from the other objects. Point is very usefull for "drilling" and e.t.c so a simple solution: import them as any object (red arrow in my version) with the "d" outline "M x,y ..." (x,y)=(pointX, pointY) and special SVG-attribute "dxfpoint":"1" to distinguish from the other objects. This behaviour turns on when new "checkmark" is enabled (dxf_import.inx) All of these corrections and additions are tested and work fine. I offer to merge them into current Inkscape dev distribution. Everyone can take these files from launchpad.net "lp:gcodetools" branch or download today's version with the DXF,svg,png examples from the http://kalyaev.com/2010/20100601/gcodetools.v85.zip Have a nice day! --- Vladimir Kalyaev.
