Re: [Inkscape-devel] [Inkscape-docs] Adding extensions api docs
by Eduard Braun 27 Nov '17

Hi all, do we have someone with experience regarding doxygen? Mois put some work into documenting the extension API (see inkscape-docs thread [1] for details and [2] for the open MR on GitLab). Some feedback would certainly be appreciated and it might be a good opportunity to recruit some help, whip our source documentation into shape and make it a bit more useful overall!

save as .dxf
by archituttle＠...8... 23 Nov '17

23 Nov '17

Hello. with the last inkscape version, when you save your file as a .dxf file, you lose all the circles forms. Opening this dxf file in Librecad or Autocad, you will see the squares or rectangles but not the circles. Is there any solution? Thanks. Gilles.L.

Animated Rendering Is it Possible
by James Fritzler 22 Nov '17

22 Nov '17

You might have seen some of those "explainer" videos on the internet that show people drawing on a white board to teach various topics. I have charts and imagery I've already drawn in inkscape that I'd like to animate the strokes and make them into explainer videos. I'm not worried about saving them to video format at this time; only interested in displaying them as animated drawn paths. It seems like all the pieces are there.. the sequence of the paths, the direction of the paths. Does anyone think it would be as "easy" be taking the rendering engine and putting a user defined delay in each path node draw call? Would display buffering have to be disabled? Is that something that a plug in could do in inkscape? or is rendering logic protected from plug ins? or maybe someone else has done this already? Side Note: I did run into similar functionality in an app called queekly, but their rendering is unpredictable. during editing some of my marks got put in a difference sequence. sequence is important in this case. Thanks

Importing an ancient binary vector format
by Nick Fox-Gieg 21 Nov '17

21 Nov '17

Hey, I'm looking to recreate a decoder for NAPLPS, an '80s binary vector format, to restore some art games made at InterAccess in Toronto in time for the 35th anniversary of the project next year. I thought an InkScape import plugin might be a great place to start--I have the NAPLPS spec and examples collected here: https://github.com/n1ckfg/Telidon The holdup is, I've never worked with binary formats before, so I was wondering if anybody had advice how to best start tackling the problem? Thanks! Nick

"Proper" way to avoid function name conflicts?
by Eduard Braun 20 Nov '17

20 Nov '17

Hi all, just stumbled across something again I always wanted to ask the devs more familiar with C/C++ than me: If the same function name is used in two third party C libraries, is there a good way to avoid this name conflict without changing the third party library? Background is a conflicting function name in libwmf and libuemf that caused some crashes [1] and was fixed by Tav by renaming the function in libuemf [2] which works as we have a copy of that library but obviously will cause issues if we attempt to update the library with upstream code at some point in the future. Best Regards, Eduard [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1616844 [2] https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/commit/038293f7984fa8bfd89a0451d3d77fc…

Hi, I am unable to get the stroke width for the path item in "mm", Inkscape::Util::Unit const *const unit = unitSelector->getUnit(); for (std::vector<SPItem*>::const_iterator i = items.begin(); i != items.end(); ++i) { double sw = (*i)->style->stroke_width.computed; double ei = Inkscape::Util::Quantity::convert(sw, unit, "mm"); Please suggest proper way to get.
