SCALE INkscape BOF
by jtaber 15 Jan '07

15 Jan '07

Our BOF is on. I figure we can give 3-4 short demos (like 5 slides or so) of different aspects. I have offered to do one on layers / GIS usage. Here are some other suggestions for others: * Release .45 features * Showing gradient/blur features - the new about dialog is awesome - we need someone artistic that can show how this is done (Josh ?). Maybe this can show the use of a tablet as well. * any other favorite features I think it's important to keep the demos short so there is lots of time for questions John

Effect->Color->Brighter
by Tavmjong Bah 15 Jan '07

15 Jan '07

Hi, I am having trouble understanding the logic of the Color Brighter effect. The Color Darker effect is quite simple... it takes each RGB component and multiplies it by 0.9 resulting in moving the color 10% of the distance towards black. I would have thought that the Brighten effect would move a color 10% of the distance towards white. Instead it has logic that changes Black (0,0,0) to (10,10,10), any R, G, or B value less than 10 to 11, and any R, G, or B value greater than 10 gets divided by 0.9. This results in a greater change, the brighter the source color. A simple replacement for the current Brighter effect would be: r=int( (25.5 + 0.9 * r); g=int( (25.5 + 0.9 * g); b=int( (25.5 + 0.9 * b); One can see easily see that these equations have the right limits for what I would have expected.

arrowhead color bug
by jtaber 13 Jan '07

13 Jan '07

Arrowheads that remain black regardless of line color remains a problem. There are various bug postings for this - some showing closed others showing open. All have been given a priority of 5. Yet this is a real usability issue. I've tried to look at the code without success but it seems that the arrowhead takes the alignment from the line so it should also be able to take the color. Can someone have a go at this before .45 ?

> The white glare on the flat surface under the second ball from the left > seems to be clipped, is that intentional? If not, can anything be done > about it? It's not clipped, it was just rendered this way in and old 0.45devel version (the one it was actually made in). I'll check that, thanks for reporting. Molumen

Alt-Click shortcut
by Bryce Harrington 12 Jan '07

12 Jan '07

Currently Inkscape uses Alt-Click for various things (select-under, randomize star, etc.) However, generally this shortcut is taken by the desktop environments. In fact we have a bug in our tracker and in Ubuntu's tracker: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1250110&group_id=9… It is possible for the user to recover this shortcut for Inkscape by disabling it in the desktop environment's configuration settings, but this has the obvious downside of disallowing the shortcut for other programs beyond Inkscape. In playing around with it a little, I notice that Alt-Ctrl-LeftClick appears to produce the same behavior as Alt-LeftClick. Since Alt-Ctrl-LeftClick is not taken by the desktop environment, there is no conflict. Thus it would seem that we could address the bug easily without any code change to Inkscape, by simply altering the documentation to indicate use of Alt-Ctrl-LeftClick instead of Alt-LeftClick. For users who prefer the Alt-LeftClick behavior, that will remain working so no functionality is lost. What do others think of this approach? Bryce
