Hi I'm working with Luca to use GtkMathView as the Maths renderer for AbiWord. GtkMathView actually writes to an abstract canvas (similar to AbiWord). It may well be possible to write an interface to to map GtkMathView's abstract canvas to inkscape's.
We're currently working on enabling editting of Formulae with GtkMathView. The plan is to have both a pallete system similar to MS Word equation editor and a command line interface which allows you to type equations in Tex or Latex and have them render in a preview widget as you type.
yep. This is good! Would you like to meet up sometime soon for a chat?
Yes. That would be good. Right now I'm on holiday at Point Lonsdale though :-) I won't get back to work until February.
Regarding affine transformations, I wasn't aware that inkscape could do that with plain Text yet. Is that a newly implemented feature or have I missed something in the interface?
Been there for years. click on text with the arrow tool, click again - the arrows turn and you can rotate the text (or shear).
Oh well. I blame the poor sodipodi UI for me not finding it.
p.s. You don't happen to know V. Kowalenko do you?
Yes I know Victor. I see him often.
Cheers
