Proposal: stick to node or stick to segment
by Valerie 11 Jun '08

11 Jun '08

The concept is pretty simple: you take two nodes, you have them "stick" together (think snapping), and when you move the other node directly or indirectly (moving the whole object), the other node stuck to it moves along. Same with segments. It basically makes a copy of that segment and its handles, and sticks all of them together. Same with whole objects actually, I forgot that one, you "snap" the whole object onto a point. Background: I mainly came up with the concept because I like (trying to) do drawings with complex strokes. The new LPE interface makes the complex strokes a lot easier, but if you actually want to fill anything in between, you have to edit the strokes And the fill (basically doubling the edit time). Now, you Could tell me to just deal with it and/or delete the fill and make a new one, but it becomes a whole other story if Inkscape wants to include animation one day, so consider this a preliminary feature: http://img373.imageshack.us/img373/2604/stickynodesja9.png The problem is the interface. We could have a sub-mode of Edit, or a whole new tool, and of course we'll need shortcuts. Then for that new fill option, a new option would have to be added as well. I'm still pondering the matter (as well as the text tool interface), but maybe some of you have ideas already? This way at least we could discuss the blueprint. Maybe when Summer of Code 2009 comes around, some student would be interested and take up the whole thing! :)

units
by Alexandre Prokoudine 10 Jun '08

10 Jun '08

Hi, https://answers.launchpad.net/inkscape/+question/35808 makes me wonder if we could use chosen unit throughout UI, in all dialogs and extensions (where a unit is in most cases "nailed" and cannot be changed). I believe, https://blueprints.launchpad.net/inkscape/+spec/real-units deals with this issue in some way. Any ideas? Alexandre

SPCurve::get_pathvector instead of get_bpath
by unknown＠example.com 10 Jun '08

10 Jun '08

Hi all, Maybe you've noticed: I reworked the internals of SPCurve such that now it is possible to get the old Inkscape pathtype (NArtBpath) or the 2geom type PathVector (both representations are kept in-sync with each other). I have started converting all calls for the old type (get_bpath or SP_CURVE_BPATH) to the new PathVector type (get_pathvector). Helping me with this conversion would be really nice, but I think I have already dealt with most of the easy ones. Therefore... My request is for *new* code to use get_pathvector! I'm sure you'll find the 2geom type much nicer to work with than the old path type. If you need help, talk to us in the lib2geom jabber channel; some times functionality is lacking from 2geom and we are very interested in hearing about them! :-) Johan

Segfault in select-context.cpp
by Bob Jamison 09 Jun '08

09 Jun '08

Hi, all. I am geting a segfault at line 413 in select-context.cpp during startup: switch (event->type) { where "event" is null. This is in sp_select_context_root_handler(), which is called by, in the stack, sp_event_context_root_handler() sp_desktop_root_handler(), which is called by sp_marshal_BOOLEAN__POINTER() which is a Glib thing. "event" appears to be null all the way up. Has there been a change to any of the knot code to cause this, or am I seeing a typical verb alignment problem from verbs.h being edited and a clean build being required? I did a clean build twice, just in case, but no effect. bob

Is there some kind of developer version with errorlogs? No, the normal version writes out this file, but Windows puts things in funny places. Someone else on the -devel list may be able to help out here. > Saving as PDF works great. Also pdf2swf.cmd works great with drag'n'drop and with command line.

Added Spiro to possible modes! :D (is it possible to do LPE on top of Spiro lines yet though? Current LPE seems to be only one at a time...) http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/3450/lpeie2.png I've also removed the word "presets" before the presets (because it should be obvious enough, and is part of Shape), and I've added the repeat modes when Clipboard is chosen. I'm not sure about what to do with all the other options though (or if they're even necessary with the pencil tool), the toolbar is getting quite crowded as is.

Multiple NR::Filter symbols
by Bob Jamison 06 Jun '08

06 Jun '08

Hi all. verbalshadow and I have been having link errors today. The reason is, that sp-filter.o and nr-filter.o both contain all of the methods of NR::Filter. After a lot of searching, I noticed that sp-filter.cpp #includes nr-filter.cpp. Not the .h, but the .cpp. That can't be right. :-) Does someone need to fix this? Things work nicely with that line commented out. bob
