ellipse to bez constant
by Bill Baxter 26 Jun '07

26 Jun '07

Is there any reason why sp-ellipse.cpp uses .552 as the ellipse-to-bezier constant rather than something with a few more digits: 0.55228474983079356 I know it probably makes little visual difference, but why not use the exact number if you have it? I certainly wouldn't use 3.14 for PI. So why use .552 when you mean 4*(sqrt(2)-1)/3? --bb

website, take two :)
by Alexandre Prokoudine 25 Jun '07

25 Jun '07

Hi, Back in March I sent a mail [1] on changes on inkscape.org that probably should take place. Here is the updated list of proposed changes. 1. "Documentation" section: 1.1. "Translation" subsection should be a link to http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Translation_information 1.2. "Publications (Overviews)" subsection should be a link to http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/ArticlesAndPresentations 1.3. "Example SVG Files" subsection should be removed 1.4. "Tutorials" subsection should be renamed to "Official tutorials" 1.5. New "Contributed tutorials" subsection should appear and contain links to http://inkscapetutorials.wordpress.com/ and http://www.inkscapetutorials.com/ These new sites already list all available tutorials, so there is no need in a wiki page. 2. "Showcase" page should be removed and become a link to http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Galleries. The Galleries wiki page should be reorganized (more on this later) 3. "Status" page should be either removed completely or be updated automatically (November 15, 2005 doesn't sound like the project is alive :)) 4. "Discussion" section should have a new "International communities" subsection and contain links to: http://www.inkscapeforum.com/ (English) http://www.inkscape-forum.de (German) http://www.open-draw-community.de (German) http://twiki.softwarelivre.org/bin/view/InkscapeBrasil/WebHome (Brazil) http://www.linuxgraphic.org (French) http://www.linuxgraphics.ru (Russian) If you know other local communities, please add them to the list In an unbelievable case eveyone agrees :) would anyone volunteer to do this?

SVG Support in the Wiki
by joel＠...1709... 25 Jun '07

25 Jun '07

Hi All, I was in the process of trying to construct a wiki page for the spirograph extension I was working on a couple of months ago. There's not very much to say about it, but I've got an SVG of the output to demonstrate with. The SVG support in the wiki seems to be rather broken, as you can see: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Spirograph. Normally I'd just cut my losses and upload with PNG, it's just that I think the wiki of an SVG editor probably should have it's SVG support configured correctly. What do we think? Joel Holdsworth

Compiling with btool in Windows Vista
by joel＠...1709... 25 Jun '07

25 Jun '07

Hi Everyone, I'm just in the process of trying to get involved with the development of inkscape, and I've spent the last few weeks trying to compile it by various methods. The btool method (as suggested here http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Win32Port ), is the simplest way, and in the end, the only way I can see to compile inkscape in Windows (although I have tried several approaches). Inkscape can be compiled no problem on a fresh install of Windows XP - I tried it on Virtual PC this morning. However, (and you may already be aware of this), it does not compile properly on Windows Vista, my main OS. First, mingwenv.bat runs successfully, whether running in an administrator or normal console. But there's hitch on the next step. The problem relates to g++ I think. If I do the step: "g++ buildtool.cpp -o btool", I get back the response "g++: _spawnvp: No such file or directory". It is possible to get past this step by compiling with btool with cygwin. However once you try and run btool.exe, you get the output printed below, which you may notice contains the killer line "i686-pc-mingw32-g++.exe: _spawnvp: No such file or directory". I think this must all be a problem with g++ in Vista. I'm not sure how what the dev team can do, but I think the wiki should be updated at least.

Bob, some python scripts need python lxml extension. >> The fantabulous lxml wrapper for libxml2 is required by inkex_lxml.py and therefore this extension. Please download the latest version from <http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/lxml/>. << could you please add this into the gtk package you provide. So that this get inserted into the win32 build.

Wiki and Planet Skins
by ryan lerch 24 Jun '07

24 Jun '07

you may have noticed that the wiki and the planet skins have been changed to come into line with the inkscape website. (im not sure if the wiki skin is the default yet, but if you want to set the skin as your default in users prefs, that will work - the skin is unimaginatively called "inkscape") if there are any problems with these, or you have some suggestions for improvements, feel free to discuss them, and i will try to include them... i intend to try to get the posts on the planet looking a bit better, maybe even displaying them in speech bubbles similar to http://planet.gnome.org/ cheers, ryanlerch

Obviously my example's just a > simple mock up. I like the idea. All that needs to be done is to combine the trace-background code and the thinning/thickening code. Should not be too difficult to do. The only problem is, with this addition the thinning/thickening functionality certainly breaks the envelope of the Calligraphy tool. It needs at least one more keyboard modifier and some toolbar controls, which simply won't fit into this already overloaded tool. So I'm thinking about breaking this functionality into a tool of its own, for example Shape Morph, which would give me more room to develop it further. Also it will hopefully improve the visibility of this functionality - it seems to me it wasn't noticed enough so far, although it's extremely useful in a lot of ways (not only for engraving, of course). So, any objections to me adding one more button to the main toolbar? -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org
