Albin Manoël : new contributor
by Albin Manoël 28 Feb '10

28 Feb '10

Hi all, I am a french student in «Master 1» of computer sciences (equivalent to a Bac+4). I use Inkscape every days during my studies and hobbies. That's why, I am interested by the development of Inkscape. I have some skills in C/C++ and Doxygen but I never have contributed to an open source project. During my studies, I have done some programs, like an « image manipulation » program in C++ with QT, and some programs with GTK+. Also, I know how to report bugs, i already reported some bugs in Launchpad. Currently, I have done a checkout of inkscape with Bazaar. And I maked the project, he is correctly running. So now, I am asking you what can I do in order to help the project. If you want to ask me questions, we can go on IRC or something else. Also, you can show me the documentation that i have to read :-) See you ;-) Albin Manoël

more shortcuts, align
by Christian Schirm 27 Feb '10

27 Feb '10

Hi developers, I miss very much keyboard shortcuts to single alignment tools like align top, align center, align right .... This speeds up my work a lot when using CorelDraw (here keys l,r,t,b,c,e,p can be used for). src/verbs.cpp contains only a limited set of accessible commands (verbs). I'm not familiar with the inkscape source code. Can this please made accessible for future releases? Or is it possible to define shortcuts to the alignement tools with user defined python scripts? (I am familiar with python). Thanks for help, Chris

NEW: LaTeX export for PDF/EPS/PS
by unknown＠example.com 27 Feb '10

27 Feb '10

Hello all, For all who use LaTeX, please read the text below from the Release Notes 0.48. Or read http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/images/SVG_in_LaTeX.pdf . (the new feature will be available in development test builds from this evening on) ===New LaTeX export for PDF/EPS/PS=== Similar to GNUPlot's `epslatex' output terminal, Inkscape can now export graphics to PDF with an accompanying LaTeX file that overlays the text over the PDF when inputted in LaTeX. The image's text is typeset by LaTeX, so for example mathematical expressions are rendered correctly, and all text will be in the font and style of the LaTeX document (even when changing the document's font afterwards). ''(the following description assumes export to PDF, but will work the same for EPS and PS)'' Two files will be created: a PDF file containing all graphics, without text; and a LaTeX file with the same name, containing all text, and code to include the PDF and overlay the text. To include the exported image in LaTeX, one writes \begin{figure} \centering \def\svgwidth{\columnwidth} % sets the image width, this is optional \input{image.tex} \end{figure} A more thorough description of how to use the new feature (and automate the exporting/inclusion of the image in LaTeX) is given in this PDF: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/images/SVG_in_LaTeX.pdf ====From the GUI==== When exporting to PDF/EPS/PS from Inkscape's GUI, the usual dialog pops up after selecting to which PDF/EPS/PS file to export to. In this dialog, you can find the PDF/EPS/PS+LaTeX option. ====Command line option==== When exporting to PDF/EPS/PS from the command line, adding --export-latex will turn the LaTeX export on. For example inkscape image.svg -z -D --export-pdf=image.pdf --export-latex Cheers! Johan Engelen

move objects to hidden layers
by Wolf Drechsel 26 Feb '10

26 Feb '10

Hello, in all of my inkscape versions it is not possible to copy an object to a hidden layer. To me that is a littlebit annoying, as when I shunt objects between layers in other vector drawing progs, I'm used to switch on the source layer and hide the target layer - so I've got control which objects are done already. Is there a deeper meaning in this behaviour - or can anybody give me another strategy for shunting objects between layers - or shall I file it as a bug? Yours, Wolf

Hi, Stephan has attached a patch for the bug "Clones from blur elements are not visible in exported PDF" (https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/376987). I've tested it successfully on Ubuntu 9.10. Could someone approve its code before we commit it? Thanks! -- Nicolas

Converting rpm packages to tgz to install Inkscape
by unknown＠example.com 25 Feb '10

25 Feb '10

On http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Installing_Inkscape#Slackware_Linux "I used the precompiled rpm provided by Inkscape for the 0.44 release as my gcc wouldn't compile it. All you need to then do is run rpm2tgz at the command line on the package, eg " rpm2tgz inkscape-0.44-0.i686.rpm" and then install with "installpkg inkscape-0.44-0.i686.tgz"." I'm not yet a *NIX developer, but sense that there may be a more generic set of instructions hidden in this specific tip. Would it be correct to say, 'RPM packages can be used to install Inkscape from a GNU zipped tar ball (.tgz) by using the appropriate converter utility, rpm2tgz, after retrieving the rpm. Thus, "rpm2tgz inkscape-0.44-0.i686.rpm" produces inkscape-0.44-0.i686.tgz, which can be installed with "installpkg inkscape-0.44-0.i686.tgz".' The title of the section, I imagine, could then be something like, "Converting an RPM package for installation as a GNU zipped tar ball (.tgz)".
