Image attachments
by Stathis Sideris 31 May '07

Hello everyone, I just wanted to know what the policy is for attaching images to emails to this list. Are we allowed to attach images under a certain size, or not at all? I have a suggestion for a GUI enhancement and I have prepared a mock-up to explain it and hopefully get some useful feedback from here. Thanks, Stathis

Selection trouble with geometric bounding box on zero width objects
by jiho 31 May '07

31 May '07

Hello everybody, I encounter some problems when using the geometric bounding box option and trying to select perfectly vertical or horizontal paths. The issue seems generic enough but I find it surprising that nobody else experienced this problem since the geometric bounding box option appeared quite some time ago now. Some details are available in a bug report: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php? func=detail&aid=1728776&group_id=93438&atid=604306 Am I the only one seeing this? Cheers, JiHO --- http://jo.irisson.free.fr/

pLAySVG and extensions
by Justin Barca 31 May '07

31 May '07

As a Playful Geometer, I have been developing some python libraries for the manipulation of SVG, and I have developed some Inkscape extensions that depend on the project, and reside in the code base of it. The project resides on sourceforge here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/play-svg Some sample artwork developed using pLAySVG: http://playful-geometer.deviantart.com Currently the libraries self-install using python distutils, but the Inkscape extensions do not. My difficulty in acomplishing the latter: - for Linux, I must sudo to run the installer, so that when the Inkscape extensions are copied to the extensions directory, they are owned by root, and thus are not available to users running Inkscape (this may be remedied by doing a chown in the setup.py script) - for Windows and MacOSX, I do not know where to copy the extensions Could someone offer me some suggestions on how to make this work? Considering that Inkscape is leaning towards separate distribution of extensions, it is important that these issues be fleshed out. I started a wiki page as a HOWTO for package distribution of Inkscape extensions here http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/ExtensionPackageHOWTO, however, it does not deal with the owership issues I mentioned, so it is inacurate in that sense. Originally, my intentions with pLAySVG was just to allow me to create images using code rather than point-and-click methods, but now I am interested in making pLAySVG more than a pet project, something that will be - an educational resource that will allow people (especially children) to learn about geometry, computer graphics, SVG/XML documents in a playful and creative way (similar to the way LOGO has been employed) - a toolkit for those who wish to do graphics scripting - most relevenatly, a toolkit for those who wish to develop Inkscape extensions Considering this, I am interested in expanding the functionality of pLAySVG to encorporate some the features already resident in Inkscape, including: - path operations (i.e. union, combine) - arc estimation as in the circle tool - star tool Could anyone offer any advice and/or assistance on this ? As well, I'd like to figure out how I could tap into the functionality of lib2geom and make it accessible for extensions developers and stand-alone graphics scripting. Lastly, I am interested in making my software used as an educational resource, and I welcome any input you have on achieving this goal. I have just submitted a proposal to OLPC to make this a part of XO laptop learning and have contacted Jon concerning his post on working with OPLC (although I'm probably not capable of porting). Your feedback would be greatly appreciated, -Justin

Idear for a more precise flood fill.
by Florian Köberle 30 May '07

30 May '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 There is a way of getting a very precise flood fill: 1. Join a copy of all the object to one big object. 2. Create rect which is so huge like the whole document 3. Use path/difference to get a flood fill for all positions. 4. Put the different shapes of the result in thier own objects. 5. Find out which of the result object has been clicked by the flood fill operation and remove the other result objects. I don't have the time to work myself into the inkscape code, but maybe a inkscape developer like the idear and implement it. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGXDGS59ca4mzhfxMRAgo3AJ96XfsHUkhqUhdth3fZxbcmANueVQCfZtiW Edg1mmKXAkGWI54iKY1xR5A= =9Sa9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Who better to ask than graphics people? ;) Does anyone know what the font in the titles for the cars in <http://www.royaltylimousine.ca/about.html> is? I have to update the website that somebody else made and I don't have the font :( Thanks! Gail

gtk theme and GTK2_RC_FILES
by jiho 29 May '07

29 May '07

Hello everybody, I am trying to add a default GTK theme to Inkscape (on OS X but the issue is probably generic enough). So I added the theme to an Inkscape specific directory and pointed the variable GTK2_RC_FILES to it and the theme is used. Fine. But I also want Inkscape to honor ~/.gtkrc-2.0 when it exists, so that the user can override the default gtk theme we'll ship if he/she likes to. GTK2_RC_FILES looks much like nay PATH variable with path element separated by semicolons, so I used: export GTK2_RC_FILES="/etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc/:$TOP/themes/Default/ gtk-2.0/gtkrc:$HOME/.gtkrc-2.0" where $TOP is an Inkscape specific dir and $HOME/.gtkrc-2.0 points to a theme in $HOME/.themes which works and is used by Inkscape when GTK2_RC_FILES is not set. From the little I could find about GTK2_RC_FILES it looks like the order is inverted compared to PATH: the last argument prevails (and I've tried the other way around with the same result anyway). However, this does not use the theme defined in ~/.gtkrc-2.0, it still uses the theme in Inkscape's directory. So I could add a check for the existence of ~/.gtkrc-2.0 and define export GTK2_RC_FILES only if it does not exist but I was looking for a more generic solution and for the correct way to use GTK2_RC_FILES. Is someone knowledgeable enough with GTK to point me in the right direction? How do the Windows folks do: is it possible to override the default GTK theme on windows? Thanks in advance.
