Hello, Yes, it would be great to have Inkscape included in your magazine. I'm cc'ing the Inkscape development mailing list to find out how we have dealt with this in the past and how to move forward.

Sign made with IS
by danilo di moia 08 Nov '05

08 Nov '05

Hi all, it's first time a write in this list. I'm an italian guy and I use inkscape (also with the gimp and scribus of course) not only for fun but also to do something usefull for my job. For example, I've designed my computer school's sign with IS and I think result is good! Here you can look a screenshot of IS with sign's design: http://www.ipercollege.org/inkscape/progetto.png and here, you can look at final product: http://www.ipercollege.org/inkscape/insegna.jpg Thanks for all guys, I love this software :-) Ciao Danilo Di Moia

The inkscape object and the inkscape_application_init( ) function
by Ben Fowler 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

I have been discussing this with Ralf off -list, and it is possible that these issues will be dissolved away when Gtkmmification is finished, but in the mean time, I have a question. Is the inkscape object and the inkscape_application_init( ) which creates it intended to be a Singleton pattern, or a Factory pattern, allowing more than one Inkscape::Application object, perhaps parameterised (or something else)? I might not have brought this up now, but my memory was jogged by the comment at the top of page 2 http://www.thedailywtf.com/forums/48173/ShowPost.aspx (and elsewhere). inkscape_application_init( ) is called in three places, in main.cpp, exactly once at application start-up; by SVGPreview::SVGPreview() when we want to provide a preview of an SVG file in a File->Open dialogue and by ImageIcon::init(), probably for similar reasons. I am assuming that the code is not wrong (the new-gui is intended to run with inkscape being NULL), but I suspect that it need to be better commented documented. If this is worth doing, could some kind soul post a few hints and I will do it Ben

smil library
by Jon Phillips 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

Have you all seen this? http://svg.org/story/2005/11/4/19196/5990 Bob, would our javascript support work with this in the future? I guess a better question would be, where is Inkscape's JS support? And, what would it take to get it to the level to support something like this SMILscript library.

Connector tool
by Laszlo 06 Nov '05

06 Nov '05

Hi! Is it somewhere a good connector tool tutorial to produce similar image like this?: http://lrn.ru/~avp/images/connector1.png I have difficulty to produce more segment path between objects with the connector tool. When I was played with the connector tool (to produce the above thing) inkscape crashed 3 times. Here is the backtrace: ** ERROR **: file display/curve.cpp: line 1230 (void sp_curve_stretch_endpoints(SPCurve*, const NR::Point&, const NR::Point&)): assertion failed: (fabs(begin_dist - tot_len) < 1e-18) aborting...

New example files for XML repair service
by jiho 06 Nov '05

06 Nov '05

Some time ago I started a wiki page about a possible XML Repair service to be implemented in Inkscape, following bug reports and a feature request. A key point of this page was to have a lis of "wrong" files. I have posted one file to the invalid files section (=some files that inkscape cannot parse). I also added some files to the weird files section. I seems that many free scientific softwares output eps files which, after beeing converted to svg by pstoedit, behave strangely in inkscape. Vector graphics are very important in scientific work and requested by all scientific journals and it would be great if Inkscpae, being the great vector graphics editor it is, could help produce them. Thanks in advance. -- JiHO --- Windows, c'est un peu comme le beaujolais nouveau : a chaque nouvelle cuvee on sait que ce sera degueulasse, mais on en prend quand meme par masochisme. ---

0.43
by bulia byak 06 Nov '05

06 Nov '05

I'm really concerned that 0.43 seems to be moving so slow. We don't have any real stoppers now, so why the delay? Let's do a pre2 now and aim for the release at the end of the week. What do you think? Release mainatainers (Peter & Jon), if you don't have time to work on that (patches, pre2, final release), please report, so we can work around that. Overall I must say I'm rather disappointed by the performance of the release maintainers this time. Unfortunately I can't now be on Jabber because I'm having Internet connection issues, but I'll do what I can to help push the release. I have about 120Kb of diffs in my local tree and I can't wait to merge them in. This "short release" seems to have consisted mostly of a very long freeze :( Here are the most important outstanding issues: - Several patches in the tracker. If any of these goes in, we need to do another pre with them. If not, we can release right away after pre1. - Several tutorial translations in the tracker (Scislac, will you do this?) - Screenshots: -- Node editing by Scislac: almost there, waiting for a final version with more stuff -- Connector tool by Alexandre Prokoudine: waiting for a combined shot with 2 diagrams and a blurb (if you can't do this, let me know and I'll post what I have) -- Drawings with pressure sensitivity by Popolon - does anyone have contact info for him, as I haven't heard from him since he agreed to do this screenshot (more than a month ago)? -- Anything else? -- bulia byak Inkscape.

Connect two objects with connector tool. 2. Add one or two obejects between two other ones. 3. Select them 4. Switch to Connector tool again 5. Mark these objects as avoidable 6. Switch to Selection tool 7. Adjust position of these objects so that connector becomes a _| curved line Example: www.lrn.ru/~avp/mockups/Screenshot-2.png Or you can use Node tool to add nodes and drag them. Alexandre
