lpe sketch, vonkoch, and knot.
by jf barraud 22 Sep '08

22 Sep '08

Hi! I quickly added a few words in the wiki about Sketch, Knot and VonKoch. Please feel free to review and eventually translate to decent english ;-). btw: I remember I had some remarks about the name of the "knot" effect. Does it sound correct? Would "over-under" be more evocative? Any suggestion? I also have 2-3 more questions about lpes: -Is there a way to hide/show knotholder/helper paths on demand --- at the moment, I through them far away off the page :-( -Is there a way to have arbitrary and dynamically varrying number of knotholders? I would like to have one per crossing... -An alternative would be to replace them by a path, with a function called whenever a point is clicked. Is this possible? Thanks! JF.

Preferences refactoring + Calligraphy tool
by Krzysztof Kosiński 22 Sep '08

22 Sep '08

I have committed a rewrite of the preferences system. The old Inkscape::Preferences stub class was replaced by a meaningful singleton, and everything in prefs-utils.h except the recent file list was replaced with stub functions using the new class. I replaced all instances of prefs_get_string_attribute(), create_pref(), pref_path_number_of_children() and pref_path_get_nth_children(). I'll now concentrate on refactoring code which contains calls to inkscape_get_repr() - it is equivalent to the new _getNode member function, but it should be private. I have also introduced boolean preferences in a backwards-compatible way - generally you can replace prefs_get_int_attribute_limited(blah1, blah2, 0, 1, 0) with prefs->getBool(blah1, blah2). There is however some weird breakage in the Calligraphy tool - e.g. sometimes it seems that tracing is on while the widgets indicate that it is off. I don't know whether this is something introduced by the rewrite or a pre-existing bug. Can someone more familiar with this code (widgets/toolbox.cpp) take a look? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Preferences-refactoring-%2B-Calligraphy-tool-tp195164… Sent from the Inkscape - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: [Inkscape-devel] web page to show svg file
by Tena Sakai 19 Sep '08

19 Sep '08

Hi Sorin, I am happy with what I discovered, albeit via big meandering. I have no more issues. Here's the "big picture" as you asked. I have an svg file I created via Inkscape, call it SampleFile.svg. And using a sample given by http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Web-Use.html I created a webpage: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>SVG Included with <object> tag in an XHTML File</title> </head> <body> <h2>s o m e h e a d i n g</h2> <object type="image/svg+xml" data="SampleFile.svg"> Browser does not support SVG files! </object> </body> </html> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ which works fine. My question was how to make a link (ie., href) thereby users can click the link and get my file displayed. Ultimately, I have 46 files I want to display, but I want any user to pick ones they want via a bunch of hrefs. That was/is what I am after. I didn't/don't intend to create a web page via Inkscape. I think that's what Nicu is doing. By looking at the example above, I made things overly difficult. What I am now doing is to have the filename at the right side of the equal sign of href specification and it works simply and elegantly (so long as I use firefox v3.01, which is not a problem for me). Thanks for your helping hand. I appreciate it.

Don't try to generate HTML from Inkscape ( as I know ..this feature is not planned very soon ), and also this is a nonsense. Do your graphics on Inkscape, save your work as JPG, then use Gimp to cut your graphics on pieces, then assemble pieces with an HTML editor eg. Kompozer / Seamonkey / Dreamweaver / Namo Wen Editor / Microsoft Expression Web. I use first 3 editors because I use 98% of my PC time Ubuntu and only 2% of time ...XP for different Corel Draw conversions. My last 2 websites ( both are not finished yet ) are done in Inkscape - all graphics ( ...less photos ofcourse ). Then I use Dreamweaver to put images on tables. The result = a sum of webpages linked each other by ...links;). Now the general idea is to tell us what are you need specifically then we can help you in a more practical an concise way. .............. Type, Role, Arcrole, Title, Show, Actuate -> they are SVG specific rules - no need to know them to make webpages .............

ABLEConf this weekend in AZ (and a request for images)
by Josh Andler 18 Sep '08

18 Sep '08

Hey all, This Saturday, September 20, 2008 in Tempe, AZ (USA) the first ever ABLEConf will be taking place. I will be doing a presentation as well as Q&A session on Inkscape there (in addition to the many other speakers that will be there that day). If you are in AZ I'd recommend coming if possible. Additionally, if you are in AZ and not in the Metro Phoenix area, people from around the state are trying to arrange ride shares to reduce the cost for everyone making a trip. To find out more about the conference, the location, and the ride sharing go to http://www.ableconf.com/ Additionally, I was asked to put together a gallery of images created with FLOSS tools. So far I have mostly gathered illustration and some design work from some Inkscape users via deviantart, however a lot of people have not responded to messages (a lot of people don't log in as much as they used to). So... that leads to the following request: If you have any images created/edited/composited with any FLOSS tools such as Inkscape, The GIMP, Krita, Karbon14, Blender, Scribus, or your other favorite open source apps please get in contact with me directly. We'd love to display your work and credit you appropriately (it's a great way to get free advertising if you're looking for contract work). Note that were looking for Illustrations, Design (web, logos, marketing materials, etc), diagrams, blueprints, photography (obviously color corrected, manipulated, etc), industrial or trade related images, and the list could go on. A focus of the conference and this image gallery is to show the small businesses how versatile and powerful the tools available are. Oh, and if you want to pass on the word too that would be more than welcome! :) Cheers, Josh

web page to show svg file
by Tena Sakai 18 Sep '08

18 Sep '08

Hi, I hope I am posting to the right place. If not, please advise where I should post. I have a web page which I got from http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Web-Use.html The first example given there is what I took. The html file looks like (I have modified it so very slightly, but it works as expected): ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>SVG Included with <object> tag in an XHTML File</title> </head> <body> <h2>s o m e h e a d i n g</h2> <object type="image/svg+xml" data="SampleFile.svg"> Browser does not support SVG files! </object> </body> </html> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The data file SampleFile.svg is made by inkscape and what I am interested in doing now is to make a hyperlink out of the object tag. Would someone please give me a tip? An example would be highly appreciated. Thank you. Regards, Tena Sakai tsakai@...2019...

Things like that. > then go to second form (Target:) -and choose from > the possible states: > _blank ... > _self ... > _top ... Do you mean each of them defines how the browser behaves in response to the user's clicking the href anchor? Again, my fundamental need is to generate the html file above, for which I have no clue. BTW, what are the rest of fields of the link properties? Type, Role, Arcrole, Title, Show, Actuate? Would you mind pointing out where they are documented?

lpe vonkoch
by jf barraud 17 Sep '08

17 Sep '08

Hi, I updated the vonkoch lpe to handle groups and allow general transformations. Caution: I had to *change* the meaning of the path parameter: It is now supposed to consist in separated paths of 1 or 2 consecutives segments (remaining segs are ignored). A single segment defines a rescaling map (pevious behaviour) 2 segments define a general transform (sending a frame attached to the original object to this new "frame") If VonKoch was used with consecutive segments, you'll have to separate them to obtain the same result. Please report bugs, or suggestion to improve usability and "understandability"... JF

Patterns with clipped objects become (partly) invisible, depending on zoom level
by worms invasion 16 Sep '08

16 Sep '08

Hello. A pattern with a clipped object becomes partly or totally invisible, depending on zoom level and/or if it's selected, in latest inkscape build. (I used http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32/Inkscape19816-0809080916.7z ) The file "mesh7_046R" contains a pattern = (objects + a clipped rectangle) and was not opened with later builds of Inkscape. The pattern shows correctly at every zoom level in the 0.46 release.. The file "clipped_pattern046R_046Dev" is the same (mesh7_046R), then it was opened in the latest build, and a new similar clipped pattern was created. Both patterns disappear, totally or partially, depending on whether they are selected or not and on the zoom level. This seems to only happen to patterns with clipped objects.

lpe-knot and lpe path-dependent parameters
by jf barraud 16 Sep '08

16 Sep '08

Hi, I've just updated the lpe-knot, to let the user choose the orientation of each crossing independantly. Please test and report bugs. (yes there are some! I know one of them at least: it won't work for groups, and cannot be shared by different objects) Writing this, I came to an issue I don't know how to solve: Up to know, lpes are supposed to be black-boxes taking any path as input, and giving an other path as output. You can eventually tune the behaviour of the black box using some parameters, which are always attached to the blackbox, and do not depend on the input. Some effect however require the storage of path-specific information. lpe-knot is an exemple: for each crossing in the path, we need to attach an orientation. This has to be somehow stored in svg, but highly depends on the path. In particular, this information canot be shared by different paths :-( I guess other cases will show up. Did we already meet and solve this? Any clue about the way this could be handled? One way could be to systematically duplicate the lpe when trying to use it on several objects (for groups or when pasting). What do you think? Best regards, JF.
