[Inkscape-devel] NUBIE: extending pstricks output; printing subsystem

Hi folks,

I'm looking into fixing (text doesn't appear in output with latest SVN) and extending it to support embedding text as text.

During a preliminary familiarisation hack, I've introduced a function: PrintLatex::text(Inkscape::Extension::Print *mod, char const *text, NR::Point p, SPStyle const *const style)

(using ps.cpp as an example). I need the position of the text, and I was hoping that p[NR::X] and p[NR::Y] would give this, but they have the value 0.0000 0.0000

I'm new to cpp and Inkscape.

Can you advise where I might be going wrong - and any wiki documents I should be checking in addition to PrintingSubsystem

best regards, richard
