this is a request for feedback from anyone who uses a vinyl cutter and uses ROBO Master software. I just submitted a proposal for a ROBO Master output format : https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/255157 and would welcome any feedback as to whether this helps or *not* as the case may be....

./configure of inkscape-0.46 and boost package
by Michael Franzl 05 Aug '08

05 Aug '08

./configure of inkscape-0.46 stops with: > checking boost/concept_check.hpp usability... no > checking boost/concept_check.hpp presence... no > checking for boost/concept_check.hpp... no > configure: error: You need the boost package (e.g. libboost-dev) But boost_1_35_0 is compiled and installed with --prefix=/usr/local. The requested header is located in /usr/local/include/boost-1_35/boost/ Copying the headers over to other locations (/usr/include) didn't help. Any hints appreciated!

Memory leaks?
by Henrik Bohre 05 Aug '08

05 Aug '08

Hi all, 0.46 on Hardy and XP: * Opening and closing a document over and over seem to increase the memory usage. * Exporting an SVG document to PNG increases the memory usage for each export. I made a quick attempt to test opening a SPDocument and then destroying it immediately. First of all I don't know how to properly destroy a document created with sp_document_new. I checked the Inkview code where they use delete, but seem to get a number of asserts from the gc-code. Are these known issues or am I missing something here? Best regards, /Henrik

Positioning of curves (and only curves!) differs from reference
by Jasper van de Gronde 05 Aug '08

05 Aug '08

While looking the W3C test suite I found that in Inkscape rendered versions of the files all curves seem to be (very) slightly offset compared to the reference image. And strangely enough this does not seem to hold for straight lines... The first few color tests (with all the circles) show this behaviour for example, and especially color-prop-01-b is interesting as it shows both curves and lines. Can anyone confirm this? Any ideas on why this is so? And who is right?

Patches need reviewing
by Jeff Schiller 05 Aug '08

05 Aug '08

As part of my activities on the W3C SVG Interest Group, I'm working on accessibility. As a simple starting point, I decided to focus on getting <title> and <desc> editable in Inkscape. It seems that sas already had submitted a patch to turn this feature on in the devel version of Inkscape. I've tried to fix a couple bugs with this implementation. One of them required a (for me) rather large patch that I think needs reviewing: Bug 249445 https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/249445 I also submitted a quickie tonight on Bug 254850 https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/254850 if anyone can commit that. Finally, I opened Bug 254857 https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/254857 for which I need some UI guru to take a look at. I think it should be possible (and easy and intuitive!) for the user to add a <title> element to the root <svg> in Inkscape (as per SVG spec), but I'm not sure the best way to do this in the UI (perhaps replace File > Document Metadata > Title?). I'd almost want to suggest that this be a mandatory step before saving, but I don't know how user-friendly that would be. Thanks, Jeff

Test documentation on Wiki
by Jasper van de Gronde 04 Aug '08

I updated the Wiki with information on the current testing framework(s). It now has some information on running/creating both unit tests and rendering tests: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/TestingInkscape I would welcome any feedback.

But, however it would take expertise with Windows and writing IE plugins. We have few enough windows developers as is so as of right now we will probably not be able do this. If you know someone who could do this or you are willing to code it yourself, I'm sure you get whatever support you need. Joshua L. Blocher verbalshadow

Compiling Inkscape from source
by Silveira Neto 04 Aug '08

04 Aug '08

I already can compile the Inskcape successfully in Ubuntu 8.04 by Apt. Now I need to compile it directly from sources in order to try to help the new JavaFX output that Bob Jamison developed. I already took a look at Compiling Inkscape<http://www.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/CompilingInkscape>and Compiling Inkscape at Ubuntu <http://www.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/CompilingUbuntu>at documentation. The end of ./configure output is like: > configure: error: Package requirements (gdkmm-2.4 glibmm-2.4 gtkmm-2.4 >= > 2.10.0 gtk+-2.0 libxml-2.0 >= 2.6.11 libxslt >= 1.0.15 cairo sigc++-2.0 > >= 2.0.12 gtkspell-2.0 gthread-2.0 >= 2.0 libpng >= 1.2 gsl) were not met: > > No package 'gsl' found > > Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you > installed software in a non-standard prefix. > I tried export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig and also export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/share/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig, but both gave me the same output with ./configure. I already installed the following packages to compile Inkscape: build-essential autoconf automake intltool libglib2.0-dev libpng12-dev > libgc-dev libfreetype6-dev liblcms1-dev libgtkmm-2.4-dev libxslt1-dev > libboost-dev libpopt-dev libgnome-vfsmm-2.6-dev libssl-dev libmagick++9-dev > libwpg-dev > Is there some another tip to compiling Inkscape at Ubuntu? -- ------- silveiraneto.net eupodiatamatando.com

PS and PDF: Print/Save As
by Tavmjong Bah 04 Aug '08

04 Aug '08

Hi, I have been trying to understand Inkscape's PS and PDF output with v0.46. It is very confusing so I thought I would summarize what I have found in a table. I tested the various ways to get PS and PDF output with: http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/images/SVG_TESTS/svg_test.svg . Save As Print Cairo Vector Raster# PS PS% PDF PS PDF PS PDF Patterns No Wrong No Wrong Wrong Yes Yes Clipping No Wrong No Wrong Wrong Yes Yes Masking No No No No No Yes Yes Transparency No Yes Yes* Yes Yes Yes Yes Dashed Lines Yes Wrong Yes Wrong Wrong Yes Yes Gradient on Stroke No Yes Yes* Yes Yes Yes Yes # Only at 72 dpi regardless of DPI setting. % Crashes when run from window manager but not command line. * Displays OK in Acroread, not with Evince 0.8.2. The "Save As" and "Print" PDF use two different Cairo routines. What is the history of this? It seems to be a bit of a waste of effort. Tav
