Crash

Hello, remembered of me! I'm a student graduating in Computer science Engineering and I'm leading a thesis on the Vectorial Diagrams Animated in Inkscape. I had successful to insert of inkscape a "parallel" Thread to the main program, that it reads of the regarding data the characteristics of an object and then assigns them to the object by means of the endured function sp_repr_set_attr(nodes[i],style.c_str(),attrib.c_str()); nodes[i] -> it is a carrier of gunlayers "Node" (std::vector<Inkscape::XML::Node *> nodes;) style & attrib -> are strings. But after this call, the program crasha and it is closed without some message. By means of the debuggher they are successful to understand that there is an error of Segmentation Fault: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. ---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit--- [Switching to thread 3236.0x6a8] GC_clear_stack_inner (arg=0x47429a0 "", limit=2284336) at misc.c:293 293 misc.c: No such file or directory. in misc.c Current language: auto; currently c You can help me to resolve this problem being given to me some council to follow?

website

Hi, While working on translation of inkscape.org into RU, I noticed several things I'd be pleased to have feedback on. 1. Documentation page. 1.1. It has a "Translations" section which is not quite related to docs. Should we introduce a separate "Translations" or "i18n" page with information on status of supported languages and basic info for new translators? 1.2. Publications (Overviews). Those brochures are nice, but _very_outdated (0.39). Could we "hire" some artist to give them a new life? 1.3. Example SVG Files. This is not related to docs as well. Maybe we should introduce a basic PR page for SVG? 2. Showcase page. Very outdated. Latest entry dates back to 2005. Don't we have something newer to show people? ;-) 3. Status page. Latest Project Status: 15, November 2005. That speaks for itself. Any comments? Alexandre

website - screenshot thumbnails
by Joshua A. Andler 12 Mar '07

I seem to recall bbyak asking (about a month or two back) about the random screenshot thumbnails that used to be on the homepage. I'm checking to see if there are plans to add it back in or what. It really does add quite a bit to have those on the homepage. Just following up... -Josh

DRAW is the base of Corel Technical Designer, so I have to assume (possibly incorrectly) that what you are talking about is possible. I can't quite picture what you mean exactly though, so maybe if you can attach a quick sketch I can see what you mean? Gail

Google Summer of Code Ideas
by Bryce Harrington 12 Mar '07

Hi all, Just FYI, I'm sending in the mentor application today, and will be listing our ideas page in it: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Googles_Summer_Of_Code_2007 If you have any thoughts about GSoC projects, now would be a *great* time to review and add to that page. Students will be looking over it soon. Bryce

NEW: flood fill
by John Bintz 11 Mar '07

11 Mar '07

Inkscape now has a very rudimentary flood fill tool. It works by performing a bitmap-based flood fill on a rendered version of the visible canvas, then tracing the resulting fill using potrace and placing the traced path on the canvas. You can access it by the paint bucket icon in the toolbar. It places the rendered path onto the current layer, so you can have a layer on top (in my case, "Inks") and select the layer below ("Colors") and do the fills so that they always appear below the inks. This tool is in a very basic state, and there are issues with rendering accuracy and memory usage. Some improvements that I can see being done are: * If the [Ctrl] key is held down, clicking on an object changes the fill color to the current fill color, and [Shift]-[Ctrl] changes the stroke color to the current stroke color * A way to either manually or dynamically increase the resolution of the rendered version so that the accuracy of the flood fill is better Try it and let me know what you think. Thanks, John

Thanks for the reply; my fears are put to rest ;) I will resend the message when I get back home (assuming it is still in my sent box), this time with links. I'm currently in Montreal competing in CS Games! Cheers everyone!

Checking in...

Hi everyone, I posted a reply about the 3D tools idea a while back with some screenshots. I think the message had to go through the moderator because the two images were slightly higher than the max. Since then, I have not received any messages from the mailing list. My question is has something gone wrong for me? Or has activity been low? I have not even seen my own message make its way back to me. I also couldn't see the archives off the web page. If you reply, please reply to me directly as well as the list just in case something is messed up. Thanks so much! Gail

by Frank Lanitz 09 Mar '07

Hi List, I was reading about, that the export to LaTeX/pstricks of inkscape doen's work very well. I also tried to export some small pic with an up2date svn version of inkscape, but my LaTeX-file failed to compile wtih the same problems. Are there any patches inside the queue to fix the problem? Frank
