units
by Eric Wilhelm 31 Dec '05

31 Dec '05

Hi all, The good news is that svg2crs foo.svg | crs2xar > foo.xar is almost working. The bad news is that I can't figure out the "right way" to get inkscape units into inches. I found some constants in src/unit-constant.h which tell me that 90 units / inch is set at compile-time, but it seems like the svg file should contain something which makes that explicit. Of course, the svg spec only rambles on about user-agents determining something from their environment, but that seems way wrong for the uber-converter (what's the dpi of your terminal?) I guess svg was never intended to convey real-world dimensions? So, it looks like 90 units/inch is a good assumption, but I don't like to assume. Is there a "right way" to do this and/or is it something that inkscape should be writing into its svg? --Eric -- "If you only know how to use a hammer, every problem begins to look like a nail." --Richard B.

Temp Mingw distribution is broken
by William Swanson 31 Dec '05

31 Dec '05

Howdy, The build instructions for Win32 developers ( http://inkscape.org/win32/win32buildnotes.html) point to a zip file with a self-contained Mingw installation: <blockquote> *Note: Temporarily, I suggest that people use the preassembled Mingw working directory that we have assembled here<http://inkscape.org/win32/mingw-0510112028.zip>. It has the important pieces set up to compile the way we need them. Unzip it to c:\mingw.* </blockquote> This is great, except that the installation is missing some files. When I tried to build Inkscape on a fresh copy of Windows XP with this package, I encountered several build errors. To solve the problem, I unpacked the following official Mingw packages on top of the broken Inkscape-provided installation: gcc-core-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.gz<http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/gcc-core-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.gz?download> gcc-g++-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.gz<http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/gcc-g++-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.gz?download> mingw-runtime-3.9.tar.gz<http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/mingw-runtime-3.9.tar.gz?download> w32api-3.5.tar.gz<http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/w32api-3.5.tar.gz?download> This fixed the issues. Now that my Mingw install works, I've packed it up into an archive and placed it at www.swansontec.com/temp/mingw.7z. It would be great if someone with access to the server could replace the existing Mingw package with this one. The current URL is just my temporary file-transfer space, so the file needs to move to a more permananet home before linking to it. -s_tec

Hey guys! With latest CVS and an experimental Debian the text and font dialogue crashes right on trying to launch it. any clue, what might be wrong? Furthermore we're right now trying to do a script that makes it possible to extract the icons form the icons.svg in to single files. Let's see, how it works out. See you! David

Question for snappers
by bulia byak 28 Dec '05

28 Dec '05

To everyone who uses snapping in Inkscape: We plan to make _screen pixels_ (not px units) the default unit for snapping distance, so that e.g. snapping at 5 pixels remains the same distance on screen regardless of zoom. The question is, do you still need absolute (not zoom-independent) units for specifying snap distance? If so why? If there are no voices in defence of abs units, we will remove them altogether and use _only_ screen pixels. This will simplify the Doc Prefs dialog and will be generally saner and simpler. -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

closepath?
by Eric Wilhelm 28 Dec '05

28 Dec '05

Hi all, I noticed that inkscape will add a Lineto and explicit coordinate values to the end of any paths that have a closepath command (e.g. from an external source.) (I'm running 0.41 if that makes a difference.) This lineto does get followed with a closepath command, so I guess that would take care of the linejoin issue (though how to join at a zero-length edge seems rather indeterminate.) Is this a desired behavior? If so, why?
