Playing with colors
by Jon A. Cruz 30 Mar '06

30 Mar '06

I just checked in a change to start some experimentation with linked colors. There are various technical things this will let me play with internally, but the immediate visible effect is that palettes can be edited and can have linked colors. To enable things, a .gpl palette file needs to have some 'magic' strings in its names. I'm looking for "*{" and "}*" as delimiters. Within those some letters can go in 'E' will make the color editable. This allows you to drop colors onto the palette entry. 'S' will make a color a 'shade' or 'tone' of another color. It requires parenthesis with two or three comma-separated integer values in it. the first number is the index in that palette to link to the second number is the percentage to mix with either black (for shades) or some gray (for tones). the optional third number is the gray percentage to mix with. (if present, makes it a tone. If missing, this will make it a shade) 'T' will make a color a 'tint' of another color. It requires two comma-separated integer values in it the first number is the index in that palette to link to the second number is the percentage to mix with white. Some examples: ... 204 255 102 CCFF66 *{E}* 102 255 255 66FFFF *{ES(4,25)}* lkj 102 255 51 66FF33 *{ES(4,25,33)}* 102 255 0 66FF00 *{ET( 4, 25 )}* 51 255 255 33FFFF *{ET(4,75)}* This markup is very temporary, and was only put in as a way to enable testing of some of the color things themselves. (Also... the actual color manipulations might be off right now, as color change accuracy is not as important as the initial linking behavior.) Oh, and if you tweak a palette successfully, then you should see magic arrows show up in the swatches UI.

Unparents removed
by Ted Gould 30 Mar '06

I removed the unparent, so it should (in theory) compile on GTKmm 2.4.x now. --Ted

It would save a menu space and work through standard copy/paste keys.

Followup to earlier Linux Format post
by Alan Horkan 29 Mar '06

29 Mar '06

There was an earlier message about tutorials posted in Linux Format magazine which I meant to reply to but I deleted the message. Please add a link in the Wiki including the issue number and dates. When/if the tutorials are later release we can add them in too but by keeping track of when the tutorial happened it might make it easier to track them down later. http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/ArticlesAndPresentations http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/ArticlesAndPresentations#Print_Arti… Sincerely Alan Horkan Inkscape http://inkscape.org Abiword http://www.abisource.com Open Clip Art http://OpenClipArt.org Alan's Diary http://advogato.org/person/AlanHorkan/

Copy and Paste

thinking about this new functionality, What I would is to beable to go to the styles pannel, have an icon or keyb which fill copy the style (border, fill, everything) and allow you to paste it onto another object, the other object would understand the information on the clipboard was a style and not an object or a size ect. -- #::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::# #::.. http://www.doctormo.co.uk/ ..::# #::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::#

NEW: node tool speedup
by bulia byak 29 Mar '06

29 Mar '06

Switching to and from the Node tool (with a path selected), as well as selecting nodes in that tool, have been significantly optimized and are now about five times faster than before. This is especially noticeable when working with complex paths; with these optimizations, paths containing several thousand nodes, though still slow, are much more usable. -- bulia byak Inkscape.

Errors compiling on FC5 with gcc 4.1
by Tavmjong Bah 28 Mar '06

Hi, Got a few compile errors using svn with Fedora Core 5 which uses g++ 4.1. I could fix the first one by a cast but I am afraid my c++ is a bit too rusty when it comes to the second. Tav ui/dialog/align-and-distribute.cpp:1077: error: conversion from ‘int’ to non-scalar type ‘std::_List_iterator<SPItem*>’ requested ui/view/edit-widget.cpp: In member function ‘void Inkscape::UI::View::EditWidget::initEdit(SPDocument*)’: ui/view/edit-widget.cpp:1560: error: ‘_namedview_modified’ was not declared in this scope

NEW: paste size
by bulia byak 28 Mar '06

28 Mar '06

Especially in technical drawings, often you need many different objects to have the same size. It's very tiresome to copy/paste the numbers in the W/H fields. So: A number of commands are added to easily scale selected objects to match the size of the object(s) previously copied to the clipboard. They are all in the Paste Size submenu in Edit menu: * Paste Size scales the whole selection to match the size of the clipboard object(s). * Paste Width scales the whole selection horizontally so that it matches the width of the clipboard object(s). * Paste Height scales the whole selection vertically so that it matches the height of the clipboard object(s). * Paste Size Separately scales each selected object separately so that it matches the size of the clipboard object(s). -- bulia byak Inkscape.

Where has the tool set gone?
by erikhalbert 28 Mar '06

28 Mar '06

I have not seriously played with Inkscape for about six months so I thought I'll do a complete reinstal. My system is Win2000. I cleaned out old copies of Inkscape and brought down Inkscape-0603271700 (43.5M). It appeared to install OK but when I opened it I find that I cannot not use it because the toolset is missing many of its functions. All that is there is: Create rectangles and squares Select and transform Create circles, ellipses and arcs Flip vertically Flip horizontally Edit path nodes and Convert selected object to path This seems so bizarre. Either 1. There is a dialog somewhere that sets up a specific toolset. 2. Something is borked. 3. I am doing something really silly because I've been away from Inkscape too long. I've had a look around and cannot see anything that looks promising. Can someone help me out here. I've been using Inkscape for years so I know how it should behave and it certainly is not doing it now for me. Thanks, Erik
