Hi,
i received a svg-file converted from wmf (by the Batik Graphics2D SVG Generator) a little more than a month ago. The file consisted of several thousands of polygons (i looked in the XML Editor :-), yet Inkscape displayed nothing but a blank canvas. I looked into the problem and found that Inkscape (and a pre-inkscape cvs-version of Sodipodi) only considered points in polygons (and polylines) written the same way as Inkscape does, and not in every way the SVG spec indicates (requires?).
Well, to the point :-) I made a small patch (and a small test-file), which I have used for the last month with a CVS-update almost every day (no crashes), and I would like to know if anyone is interested in them?
And then a small questions, sorry ;-)
I would like to look into a blend tool (and some other more or less useful tools), but since I'm new to the internals of Inkscape, I would like to know if it's sane in it's current state (with the structural changes going on). I could still try to make an abstract outline of the blend function, which then could be implemented later (when the Extension API has been implemented around version 0.42?). (I make no promises though:-) I have been using Java almost exclusively since version 1.0.1 came out, with some perl and python tossed in, and have had only a brief look at C/C++ in the same period (that's the reason i don't promise anything :-).
