Using ${env.DEVLIBS_PATH} in build.xml?
by Jasper van de Gronde 04 Aug '08

04 Aug '08

Is there something against using ${env.DEVLIBS_PATH} as the path to devlibs in build.xml? This way the path only needs to be set in mingwenv.bat (which is already done anyway) and it wouldn't have to be changed back each time I (or anyone else who has devlibs elsewhere) modifies build.xml.

Patterns: display of unit cell
by unknown＠example.com 02 Aug '08

02 Aug '08

Hi all, The knots for a pattern applied to a shape used to be scaled by 0.5, such that the displayed knots where on the border of a quarter unit cell. I have removed this as I found it confusing and awkward now with the snapping of those points while trying to get a good checkerbord fill at the grid's spacing. Perhaps someone can tell me why this factor was put in? Thanks, Johan

Re: [Inkscape-devel] [Inkscape-user] Snap to grid when pasting

I might just as well create something similar again, but I'm not sure how it should work. Given an object with lots of nodes, which node should snap to the grid? If all nodes were already aligned to the grid when copying, then while pasting snapping any node to the grid will do. But this will not be true in general and there will be nodes both on- and off-grid. Besides, we can now have multiple grids simultaneously, which one should we use? If we know where the clipboard data was originally located (I don't know if that information is stored), then we might paste at a multiple of the grid pitch (strictly spoken: that is not snapping, but it will achieve what you're looking for). Comments anyone? Diederik

Adding a download link to the website
by John Faith 01 Aug '08

01 Aug '08

Hello, I'd like to add a 0.46 OS X 10.3 download link to the website. I've checked out inkscape_web and know which files to edit, but after reading http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/WebsiteEditing I wanted to make sure I edit inkscape_web/download/ files. properly to keep the encoding correct. If I simply use 'vi' which is configured to support multi-byte characters, is that sufficient to keep these files happy? Also, It looks like I can simply add links to the non-English files inkscape_web/download/download-*.inc, but if I should avoid those, what is the usual procedure for requesting web page translations? Thanks! , John

r19370 extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp:2***: error: expected primary-expression before '**' token
by Jeff Kowalczyk 01 Aug '08

Inkscape svn trunk stopped building for me on Gentoo Linux ~x86 about two weeks ago, which corresponds somewhat with the last commit on xtension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp. The build.log is huge, but available if it helps anyone debug. # grep error: build.log extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp:2259: error: expected primary-expression before '<<' token extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp:2259: error: expected primary-expression before '<<' token extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp:2259: error: expected primary-expression before '<<' token extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp:2259: error: expected primary-expression before '<' token extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp:2259: error: expected primary-expression before '.' token extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp:2261: error: expected primary-expression before '==' token extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp:2261: error: expected primary-expression before '==' token extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp:2261: error: expected primary-expression before '==' token extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp:2261: error: expected primary-expression before '=' token extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp:2316: error: expected primary-expression before '<<' token extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp:2316: error: expected primary-expression before '<<' token extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp:2316: error: expected primary-expression before '<<' token extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp:2316: error: expected primary-expression before '<' token extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp:2316: error: expected primary-expression before '.' token extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp:2318: error: expected primary-expression before '==' token extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp:2318: error: expected primary-expression before '==' token extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp:2318: error: expected primary-expression before '==' token extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp:2318: error: expected primary-expression before '=' token P.S. The pdf-parser's issues with the public vs. private parts of the poppler API have been the only real source of build failures for me over the past year. Perhaps r19370 is central to fixing that. Still, It would be nice if a config option allowed it to be skipped entirely when there's trouble.

'Lines only' mode in pen tool
by Maximilian Albert 01 Aug '08

01 Aug '08

Hi all, I seem to remember a few recent requests for a "lines only" mode in pen tool (can't find the related emails or bug reports offhand). [1] For my LPE work I had implemented this a short while ago anyway (if for different reasons), but so far it has only been used internally. Now I added a new button to the pen toolbar to make it publicly available. You may want to give it a try and see if it is useful. All it does is prevent you from making curves: each mouse click automatically addes a new line segment, regardless if you are dragging or not. Personally, I'm not too convinced that it's of great value but other people may have different opinions. If it turns out to be useless, feel free to ditch it again. :) If you want to keep it, you are welcome to design a more beautiful icon and/or find better descriptions, too.;-) Max [1] This one seems to be along these lines, too, but it's very unspecific: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/253166

Suggestion, plugin for exporting to JavaFX
by Silveira Neto 01 Aug '08

01 Aug '08

Hi, that's my first message for this list, so let me introduce myself. My name is Silveira Neto, I'm a brazilian student, last semester in computer science. I'd like to say that I'm a happy Inkscape user, pleased to see all improvements made recently. I'm also a developer that uses a new, free and open technology for creating RIA (Rich Internet Applications) called JavaFX. If someone is interested in know more about JavaFX, you can see more here <http://javafx.com/>, here<http://www.sun.com/software/javafx/index.jsp>or here <https://openjfx.dev.java.net/>. JavaFX is heavily graphicaly based and it's elements resembles much SVG elements. In fact, the main creator of JavaFX created a tool<http://blogs.sun.com/chrisoliver/entry/javafx_svg_translator_preview>that translates SVG to JavaFX. I'd like to suggest a plugin for exporting Inkscape drawings to JavaFX, so developers could draw with Inkscape, export and program the logic with JavaFX. That extension just would have to export the drawing to a raw text .jfx file. The syntax is quite simple<https://openjfx.dev.java.net/learning.html>and I can help with it. I guess that Inkscape extensions are made in Python, right? I'd like to know where I can find more documentation about writing Inkscape extensions, I know a little bit of Python, I could try it. As JavaFX and SVG graphical entities are similar (like shapes, paints, gradientes, paths, etc) you guys think that is possible to make such plugin for Inkscape? Someone would be interested in help me? Thanks. -- ------- silveiraneto.net eupodiatamatando.com

Fwd: Bevel LPE (and others) discussion

I tried that pre-made filter and for drop-shadows something like that is what i was looking for.The problem is that currently, filters are hard to edit and a tool serving as front end would be much better. I think the same would apply for the rest of proposed "LPEs". Your thoughts? Johan: > I thought up a solution that unfortunately does not work: > - clone original path and apply LPE to the clone > - adjust the style of the clone to whatever you want. > I checked but unfortunately this does not work, because the original > path's style overrides the clones' style :( A filter would avoid the need for clones/copies. So i think is the way to go. Aside from this, I have added some examples of the results I would like to see for BEVEL tool (i won't call it LPE anymore): http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/SpecBevelLPE As you see, is not something doable with LPEs because style of the bevel has to be editable and not inherited from the object. In this case filters doesn't seem to achieve this although some of the pre-made filters give a "3D", relief or emboss effect but not like my mockup. I actually think the emboss tool could be made with filters. In some way, the bevel tool would be like the 3d box tool: both create a group editable with the tool, or you can edit the elements of the group sepparately if you ungroup it. Regards. PS: Steren, sorry for sending you this message twice.

Fwd: promoting SVG
by Felipe Sanches 31 Jul '08

31 Jul '08

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Felipe Sanches <felipe.sanches@...400...> Date: Tue, Jul 29, 2008 at 3:14 AM Subject: promoting SVG To: Asa Dotzler <asa@...2025...>, stb@...2026... hello, My name is Felipe Sanches. I am an Inkscape developer (also known as JucaBlues at the Inkscape community) and I am putting efforts in the spread SVG usage for web content. I am very excited about the possibilities that this technology brings and also about the openness of it (mainly compared to proprietary Flash technology). I have recently developed a little game using SVG and javascript. You can see it here: http://bighead.poli.usp.br/~juca/code/svg/minigame/minigame.svg<http://bighead.poli.usp.br/%7Ejuca/code/svg/minigame/minigame.svg> I would like to promote something together with Mozilla. I was thinking about a game coding contest. The rules would require the game to use SVG technology and to run properly in Firefox 3 (and, optionaly, on any SVG compliant browser). I would like to promote this contest myself, but I do not have enough resources to provide cool prizes and also I do not have the same visibility as you guys have in order to reach the greatest possible number of contest submissions from the webdevelopment community. Even harder when you think about an specific technology we are trying to promote. Since Firefox is an SVG capable browser, and Mozilla is clearely in favour of open standards for the web, I supose that you would be interested in making this contest become a reality. I can write a tutorial explaining which techniques & tools I used to develop this example SVG+javascript game, so this could also eventually help promoting Inkscape, which is the opensource SVG editor project to which I often contribute. I am waiting to hear your opinions on the subject, best wishes, Felipe Sanches PS: these are the instructions for the example game: Enter key - Starts the game Right and left arrow keys - moves Tux SpaceBar - tux tries to hit the MSN butterfly also, if you need, you can zoom the graphics with ctrl + (plus) SVG is vector graphics, so you wont loose quality when zooming SVG content
