WxSVG (wxsvg.sf.net) is a young GPL project that as still never released files, since it as not reach beta stage. First commit should occur in January 2005.
WxSVG let you "draw" GUI with Inkscape. Have a look to screenshots at http://sourceforge.net/project/screenshots.php?group_id=124832
It consist of a thin layer of python classes that derive from wxPython controls classes. It use SVG elements to layout controls such as buttons or panels and map them with some pieces of bitmap cut-out from one or two (on & off) bitmaps exported from Inkscape.
SVG elements that are used to layout controls are <rect> and <g>. We were used to use the non-printable feature of Inkscape to let us draw layout rect's over the visible GUI design, and the export the GUI image without control rect's.
We have upgraded to yesterday's CVS snapshot. No more non-printable feature... And invisible elements are exported in bitmaps. So we cannot work anymore in the same way... The only way I found is to set global transparency for the "Control" group to 0.0 when exporting bitmap, ant to 1.0 when working on.
Non-printable object was a very nice feature. WxSVG is really need it. Is there any other solution ?
Except guide-lines is there anything that Inkscape can show but not export ?
