compiling Inkscape
by Greta Gramig 13 Jan '06

13 Jan '06

Hi All, Trying to compile Inkscape, using MEPIS version 3.4-2, (which is the most current version). I managed to install the libpng and also zlib but then on trying once again to configure I am told that libgc is needed. I downloaded and unzipped these files (binaries, no?) but what do I do with them? I am kind of new at this. Can anyone help? I have used Inkscape in Windows but want to migrate. Thanks so much.

Problem with Snapping/new Document Properties pannel
by jiho 12 Jan '06

12 Jan '06

Happy New Year to everybody and let 2006 be the year when Inkscape rules! I recently tested the new document properties pannel on mac os X. I think I am a bit late for that but I liked better the first one (with frames) because it was more compact even if it was not HIG compliant. Would it be possible to have the metadata tab scrollable and the others more compact so that the dialog is smaller. I keep this one open very frequently to change snapping settings and I think it would be really nice to have it smaller. Another problem is with snapping and the freehand and bezier tools: snapping to grid seems to be always on for these tools as long as the grid is displayed and whatever the status of snapping is in the Document Properties pannel (even before the it is changed). Is it the desired behaviour? If it is it should be the same for all tools and it does not seem to be the case. Finally, the current distinction between "screen pixels" and "px units" is not really clear to me. what are px units? 1 px unit = 1 grid unit? may be it could be explained a bit better if it is to be kept. Thank you in advance for considering this. I would happily fill a bug report for the second problem if it is necessary. JiHO. PS: for testing purposes the new document preferences pannel is in the last two dev builds for mac os X (24 december and 4 january). btw, is there no way to have the downloads for these builds mirrored and handled by sourceforge? because the download rate is awfully low and the download fails very often.

ODG format?
by Bryce Harrington 12 Jan '06

12 Jan '06

Does anyone know how well we support the Open Document - Graphics (ODG) format? Is there an ODG<->SVG converter? ODG is part of the OpenDocument Format used by OpenOffice. There's a listing of apps that support it here, and it'd sure be nice if we could get Inkscape listed there. Is there an SVG<->ODG converter anywhere? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applications_supporting_OpenDocument Bryce

New errors! Plus a goodly load of warnings. :-) (I'm guessing a syntax error just snuck in, and has probably already been found and fixed.)

arcs/elliptical arcs in path data
by Eric Wilhelm 11 Jan '06

11 Jan '06

Inkscapers, I just noticed that inkscape uses elliptical arcs in its path data (not if you draw a path, only if you draw an ellipse -- but it uses the <path> element rather than an <ellipse> element I guess because <ellipse> cannot represent rotated ellipses or elliptical arcs.) However, it seems that any sort of union or offset on these ellipses causes them to be converted to bezier curves. (Simplify seems to also convert them.) Xar only supports bezier curves in the path data, so this would have to be converted. It looks like postscript conversion has a similar issue in that its arcto does not support ellipses. >From the info that I've been able to find, an ellipse can only be approximated with a quadric bezier curve. Is that correct? Can anyone please give me some hints as to whether the inkscape source has anything that would be generically usable for converting ellipses to bezier? I've been digging through the source starting with extension/internal/ps-out.cpp and it appears to be leading me to ps.cpp, but I think I missed the conversion. Thanks, Eric -- "These crispix get soggy so quickly." -- Tina Connolly --------------------------------------------------- http://scratchcomputing.com ---------------------------------------------------

GPLv3 Launch at MIT - Inkscape invited
by Bryce Harrington 11 Jan '06

11 Jan '06

Hi all, Inkscape has received an invite to the GPLv3 launch at MIT in Cambridge, MA on January 16-17. Mental and I would have liked to attend, but unfortunately have other commitments. Would anyone else be interested and able to represent Inkscape at this event? It would be great if an Inkscape user or developer located near Boston could attend at least one of the days. More information is available here: http://gplv3.fsf.org/launch Thanks, Bryce
