Lorem ipsum extension
by bulia byak 07 Sep '06

07 Sep '06

In case someone missed it, we now have a very nice extension by Jos Hirth that creates a "Lorem ipsum" random text of given length. Nice! I changed its name to "Lorem ipsum", moved it to the Render submenu and changed it so that the first sentence is always "Lorem ipsum" (the rest are randomly shuffled). Enjoy. If you have an idea of another helpful extension, don't hesitate to ask on the list! -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

NEW: optional rounded caps on "calligraphic" strokes
by MenTaLguY 06 Sep '06

06 Sep '06

I've just added the ability to round the caps of calligraphic strokes, which is useful when the calligraphic tool is being used with low "fixity" to simulate a round pen (as I often do when inking comics). Right now there's no UI for it, but the "cap_rounding" parameter for the calligraphic tool can be set to a constant from 0.0 (existing behavior, a flat line) to 1.0 (an approximate half-circle) in preferences.xml. -mental

WEBFORM Colors problem
by Tomasz 06 Sep '06

06 Sep '06

Message from Inkscape submission form Please note, that the submitter may not read this list. CC your answer to the submitter name: Tomasz email: biuro@...1459... submitted the following: J have a problem with colors exported from Inkscape. The problem is that when I import to Inkscape CMYK bitmap (f.e. TIFF CMYK) and then I write the work in pdf, eps or ps format I cannot obtain the same colors as in CMYK palette that was imported. I think that Inkscape make a conversion. But I want obtain exactly this same colors I had imported. How do it?

Interrupting interruptible displays
by John Bintz 06 Sep '06

06 Sep '06

Hi, all. I wanted to give a quick update on the set of changes I committed this morning. Basically, buila's cool interruptible display code is now enhanced so that, for operations that require the whole display to be updated (rubberbanding, any sort of drawing operation), the interruptibility of the display code can be disabled and then re-enabled. During the disabled times, the entire affected screen rectangle will paint, making sure the previewed object is displayed accurately. This provides (I hope) the best balance between speed and precision while working in Inkscape. I believe I've hit most of the drawing operations that can benefit from this change. I tested it on the last few pages of my latest webcomic, and it seems to be stable. Thanks, John

Usually designers use it >for mock-ups to show to clients. What about adding a submenu "Generator" which could have a number of choices, for example "text" or "shape". Where: "generator" would group any functions that generate automatically repeated objects. "text" would generate repeating text given a number of parameters, for example with "Lorem ipsum" or "Happy Birthday" along a curve or inside a shape. "shape" would generate shapes given a number of parameters, for example it could add stars of various sizes and positions at random to simulate a night sky filled with stars. Given that "Lorem ipsum" would be under a fairly self explanatory menu, it should not be so hard to figure what it does even for new users. Joc

Update on the wandering CAD Tools Developer...
by Redefined Horizons 06 Sep '06

06 Sep '06

I've been in touch with the lib2geom developers. I'm going to talk with them some more and see if I can help with there efforts. It makes sense to build my CAD tools for inkscape on the geometry library that they are developing, as Botty suggested. I just wanted to let you guys know I hadn't forgotten about this, and I'm still interested in adding some new tools to Inkscape. Scott Huey

But Tango is more then just an icon theme, it's a new framework. Please note that older iconsets can be used with our new framework -- and, once ported, will work across the desktops in a consistent manner. If Inkscape would use the Tango ArtLibreSet[1] and not the icons.svg we could change the Incscape, Scribus and Gimp icons just by changing one iconset.
