NEW: SVG output configurable
by bulia byak 01 Nov '06

01 Nov '06

Not per-document yet, but better than nothing... For specialized uses, several aspects of Inkscape's SVG output can now be customized via editing the preferences.xml file (there's no UI for these options). A <group id="svgoutput"> inside <group id="options"> can have the following attributes: * usenamedcolors (default is 0). If nonzero, Inkscape uses symbolic color names (such as "white" or "lime") and three-digit color designations (such as $dfe) where appropriate; otherwise, it always uses six-digit colors (such as $d0f0e0). Note that in 0.44, the default was to use named colors, which created problems for some extension effects. * numericprecision (default is 8). This is the number of significant digits written for each number into SVG. You can lower this number to get slightly more compact SVG at the expense of precision. * minimumexponent (default is -8). In transform= attributes, any number whose absolute value is less than 10 to the power of minimumexponent (i.e. less than 10-8 by default) is written as 0. * indent (default is 2) controls the number of spaces that each level of nesting in SVG is shifted. Set this to 0 to disable indentation. * inlineattrs (default is 0). If nonzero, attributes are placed on the same line as their tags; otherwise they are separated by newlines. -- bulia byak Inkscape.

gradient mesh plan
by bulia byak 31 Oct '06

31 Oct '06

Long ago, Ted Gould made a proposal on how to do gradient meshes using elliptic gradients. Sadly this was not workable because gradients are simply not flexible enough. But now we have blur - and while approximating a gradient mesh with blurring is still not trivial, it is possible. See an attached SVG for an example. Of course it's a nightmare to do all this manually, but as soon as we have code for bezier intersections, it becomes possible to do an automatic gradient mesh object using this approach. -- bulia byak Inkscape.

I tried to upload an SVG to Inkscape wiki but the format is not accepted (only png/jpg). I think it's a shame :) Can someone knowledgeable please fix this? -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

Contest Planning
by Jon Phillips 31 Oct '06

31 Oct '06

Hello all, I put a wiki page up to plan for the two upcoming contests on the Open Clip Art Library wiki. Please look at them, add your two-cents, and lets get this show on the road :) http://openclipart.org/wiki/Contests Oh, the first contest will be: 1.) Inkscape 0.45 About Screen 2.) Open Font Library logo contest After we review, then the Open Clip Art Library folk will set it up and develop press/announcements which can be sent out in a big burst. Thus, please hold off on blogging/posting too much about this yet so we can maximize our impact on launching these contests. Cool?

I think it's already in the bug tracker but you can check. Hopefully Niko or I will address it one day. -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org -- bulia byak Inkscape.

That's a side effect that can be prevented by adding outside margins to the edge segments that would be clipped off. And of course, the number of flat segments per mesh cell should be variable. The finer is the segmentation, the more precise is the mesh and the less blurring is needed to smoothen it. With sufficiently small segments, you may not even need blurring at all. -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org
