"Perspective path" LPE
by Thomas Holder 25 Sep '18

25 Sep '18

Hi, Does anyone know how the "Perspective path" LPE is supposed to work? Is it functional? I already asked Jabier, but he also doesn't know. I'm asking because it uses hard coded desktop coordinates that I would fix if I knew how to test it. This LPE is in the LPE_ENABLE_TEST_EFFECTS section. If nobody knows if/how it works, then I suggest to remove it. Implementation: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/blob/master/src/live_effects/lpe-persp… Thomas

Location path for an imported figure
by David Carrasco de Busturia 25 Sep '18

25 Sep '18

Dear All, I am finding `Inkscape` a really good tool for importing `PDF` or `EPS` scientific plots into a blank page, and then place arrows on top of the graphs, text, make scientific drawings assemble them in the desired location and then save as a unique PDF page that can then be included as a unique `figure` in a `latex` document. Let's imagine an inkscape project that has assembled 10 plots, imported from these folders: /path1/plot_1.pdf /path2/plot_2.pdf ... /path10/plot_10.pdf We already know that in /path1/ there is also the python, gnuplot, etc source code that produces the PDF plot, for instance: /path1/plot_1.py /path2/plot_2.gnu etc Most of the times I need to continue working over the original PDF plots that I once imported into a inkscape project I made back in time. For example, change the scale and the title of the plots, and so on. In other words, I need to go to the original source code (gnuplot, python, etc) that produces those plots that have been assembled in the inkscape project. In these situations, while having the nice inkscape project in the screen with all the plots 1 to 10, it is quite hard to remember where is the location of the original PDF plot. As far as I am concerned, there is no option in the inkscape interface that allows you to know which is the original location path of the PDF plot that was once imported into the inkscape project. The closest solution I could find is the following: every time I import a new PDF of EPS, I right click and and create a link which is basically a copy-paste of the location path of the figure. This solution is quite tedious and most of the times one forgets to create the link. Once the image is imported, the next natural step is to resize it and locate in the desired place, and it is very easy to forget to create the link. For instance, if this multi PDF plots assemble project was made in Latex, the location path of all the plots would be perfectly identified, i.e. in the `\includegraphics` line. I was wondering if it is possible to check an option in the importing process that would allow to automatically write the location path of the figure somewhere. Or any other strategy that would automatically write the location path every time a plot is imported. Would this be difficult to implement ? Thanks a lot for all your help, All the best, David

Okay, I've cobbled this together about as best I can. :) https://inkscape.org/en/news/2018/09/20/inkscape-hackfest-kiel-2018-what-ha… That means there are probably errors and omissions. If you find either, please let me know. :) Back to the video stuff! -C

Inkscape g+ feed, moderator still blocking me. Also posted this:

Mr. Grady is still on the offensive, and is getting defensive too. He says: "Please folks, I don't care who someone is. If someone is engaging in discussions, especially helping a new Inkscape user learn and your only contribution is to troll the person offering the help, expect to at least have the posts deleted. If that's kind of your modus operandii around here, then you'll eventually get kicked." Of course, still denying his role in the issue. I'm still blocked, and see nothing but excuses from Mr. Grady, still treating our Inkscape feed like his personal property. Solutions? Thanks for the attention to this matter. -C

Your hackfest experience.
by C R 21 Sep '18

Hey folks. I'm going to do a writeup of the hackfest to accompany and help finish the video content. If each of the hackfest attendees could answer these questions for me, I'll combine all of it into the hackfest summary. 1. What did you work on during the Kiel hackfest? 2. What do you consider the best benefit to being at the Kiel hackfest this year? 3. What were the most fun things or things you most enjoyed about the hackfest? 4. Did your hackfest activities extend beyond the hackfest? 5. Did the hackfest increase your motivation to work on the Inkscape project? 6. Anything else you'd like to include. :) Thanks for your comments. I'll begin posting video content this week, (3-4 videos in total), witht he goal of releasing the hackfest summary first, so the sooner everyone responds to this information, the sooner I can put it together with some accompanying photos into a complete summary. Thanks for you help, and it was super cool to be able to hang out with all of you. Last week. -C

Adobe Illustrator applies stroke alignment property only for closed paths, if path becomes open - Illustrator immediately removes this property and applying center alignment. Can we standardize same behavior in Inkscape for solve this issue? -- Best regards, Alexey Murz Korepov. Email, Jabber: murznn@...400...

Inkscape Hackfest Summary - How do I make a new article on the Inkscape website?
by C R 20 Sep '18

Never done this before... Is there a way to publish markdown and pictures to a news story on the website? I can then link to it in a G+ press release. Thanks. :) -C

One of the moderators on our Inkscape G+ feed is blocking comments and slinging insults
by C R 20 Sep '18

20 Sep '18

imho, they should not be in charge of moderating the Inkscape's g+ feed. The name of this moderator is Grady Broyles. They have: 1. Falsely asserted that pngs are lossy. (not good for the project) 2. Falsely asserted that pngs are locked at 96dpi (just plain wrong, esp for those wanting to print their pngs) 3. Abused their moderator status by blocking arguments proving his statements incorrect. 4. Engaged in personal attacks. imho, this person is not fit to moderate the Inkscape G+ feed. Thanks for your attention to this matter. :) Here is a screenshot of the above: https://imgur.com/a/2ToD1VT This was in response to my comment (which did not fit in the screencapture): +Grady Broyles <https://plus.google.com/117132892207917418648> I've been exporting pngs from Inkscape at 600dpi A4 for the last 7 years... what on earth makes you think it is locked at 96 dpi? -C
