python: example in wiki
by Daniel Hornung 07 Aug '08

07 Aug '08

Hello, I hope this list is the correct one for this kind of question: Has anyone managed to get http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/PythonEffectTutorial to work without major changes? It failed for me both on a gentoo system and on a pretty vanilla Ubuntu 8.04 box. I don't know if I will find the time to edit the wiki page according to the current lxml behaviour, but I might give it a try. Additionally Ishmal(I think) said on irc/jabber that lxml might not be used in the future anymore anyway. Now for the list of problems I encountered: * Simply making the file executable and putting it into ~/.inkscape/extensions/ is not sufficient, it won't find inkex there, but no problem, simply add import sys sys.path.append('/usr/share/inkscape/extensions') # or another path, as appropriate for your installation to the top of it. A minor problem. * All the getElementsByTagName, getAttribute, createElement,... methods are unknown to lxml, at least in the versions here (1.3.6). Inkscape returns the python error message ending with: File "/home/dhornun/.inkscape/extensions/helloworld.py", line 32, in effect svg = self.document.getElementsByTagName('svg')[0] AttributeError: 'etree._ElementTree' object has no attribute 'getElementsByTagName' If this is not a problem on the distributions' side, those can probably be fixed by adapting the code to reflect lxml's current API. Thank you very much for any useful advice! Daniel -- GMX startet ShortView.de. Hier findest Du Leute mit Deinen Interessen!

NEW: Clone/original visualization
by bulia byak 07 Aug '08

07 Aug '08

When you press Shift+D to find and select the original of the selected clone, Inkscape draws a dashed line between the centers of the bounding boxes of the clone and the original. This line disappears after one second. -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

drag/click mode in pen tool
by Maximilian Albert 06 Aug '08

06 Aug '08

Hi, for a while I have been wondering what the 'mode' variable in SPPenContext means. It seems that it can assume the two values SP_PEN_CONTEXT_MODE_DRAG and SP_PEN_CONTEXT_MODE_CLICK. But now I discovered that its value is read from preferences-skeleton.h where it is set to _DRAG, and there doesn't seem to be any way to change that. Can anyone enlighten me what _CLICK is useful for and if it is settable at all? Thanks, Max

NEW: Paraxial mode in pen tool
by Maximilian Albert 06 Aug '08

06 Aug '08

Hi, apart from the recent "zigzag" mode there is now a "paraxial" mode in pen tool. In this mode, the user can only create straight line segments that are parallel to one of the coordinate axes. Normally, each line segment is drawn perpendicular to the previous one. The direction of the line segment being drawn can be toggled with Shift. When clicking on the start anchor, the path is closed with an L-shaped segment (the direction of which can also be flipped with Shift). Let me know if you have any issues with it. [1] Max [1] Known bugs: When creating the initial segment with Shift, the second segment is parallel to the first one instead of perpendicular to it (although all subsequent ones get drawn correctly). Moreover, when closing a path the final segment is sometimes drawn slightly slanted.

W3C SVG test suite available as rendering tests in SVN
by Jasper van de Gronde 06 Aug '08

06 Aug '08

A large part of the W3C test suite, stripped of all its text elements is now available as rendering tests in SVN. It does not include anything that relies solely on text, animation or scripting (at least I've tried to make sure it doesn't). Compared to the latest test suite compliance results on the Wiki there either have been quite a few regressions or I've been more strict. In any case, there are plenty of failure cases (63 out of 151). See http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/TestingInkscape for information on running the tests.

cutter control discussion
by Patrick 06 Aug '08

06 Aug '08

I have not seen any posts on this topic for a week or so. I would like to help but I am terribly slow to get things done. I am just wondering if we could hammer out what needs to be done so I can add it to my "to-do list" volume 3 I could buy a cutter in July or August and I should be able to finish reverse engineering the command protocol sometime in the fall. I know there are different formats used to send information to the cutters, would it be good to work on a more robust DXF export option too? I don't know the first thing out GSD, does does someone want to work on this ? I am unfamiliar with Inkscape internals, if I provided the commands could someone integrate this into Inkscape? Or do we even want to do this? Is there a better way? Thanks-Patrick

NEW: auto relinking clones on duplicate
by bulia byak 06 Aug '08

06 Aug '08

If you turn on the "When duplicating original+clones: Relink duplicated clones" option on Clones tab of Inkscape Preferences (default is off), duplicating a selection containing both a clone and its original (possibly in groups) will relink the duplicated clone to the duplicated original instead of the old original. -- bulia byak Inkscape.
