Hello all, I am currently pursuing my undergraduate studies in Computer Science and Engineering at Delhi Technological University , New Delhi , India and am looking forward to be a part of GSoC 2013.
I have been using software like Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop since before high-school. With the interest I had in programming and algorithms, I always wanted to contribute to such software programs. FOSS caught my attention in my second year of college and I began delving into Inkscape as it provided me an opportunity to get inside the workings of a real software almost similar to Illustrator.
I have fixed one bug till yet: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/773288
*I intend on implementing a Recolor Artwork Tool that shall allow: *1) Managing Color Themes with one go. 2) Enable editing many objects' colors on-the-go (simplified interface).
This site should give some idea about what I have in mind- http://colorschemedesigner.com/ Thankyou to ScislaC for pointing this site out and lessening my burden of explaining what the tool would do.
The credit for the idea goes to Inkscape's developer wiki which urges the contributors: '*Don’t please the artist—BE the artist'* and in my view, this tool shall be a boon to all of Inkscape's heroes, our artists.
I have played around the gimpcolorwheel.c file and studied Cairo's drawing structure to paint the entire Hue Wheel in my experiments. A screenshot (result) is attached for the mentors' and advisors' perusal. Also, I have added a 'Recolor Artwork' option in the 'Object' Menu to house the final tool widget.
As an almost rookie for such a project, I hope the discussion with people adept with industry methods and experience in digital designing will definitely help me chalk out finer details of how to structure the tool keeping in mind the intricacies of Inkscape's codebase.
Thankyou for your time.

This looks very interesting!
How are you going to handle keeping track of all the colors? Inkscape currently has the ability to use named colors via using one-stop gradients. SVG2 has a "solidColor" element which can be used for the same purpose. I would like to see the one-stop gradients replaced by the solidColor element internally. Then at the saving stage convert solidColor elements to one-stop gradient elements if targeting SVG 1.1. (This will simplify some internal code.)

We could use css too, not sure what the restrictions or resistance is to having css defined styles in inkscape. They've worked quite well in firefox for quite some years. I've used them myself.

CSS cannot handle more complicated cases, for example using the same named color for a fill and for a gradient stop.

Even the most current draft of the next spec? If that's the case, is there a reason why?
I'd love top see us use CSS more for styling, however that would really be primarily if we were linking against external CSS files or had it properly reused in the doc structure like defs (by default).

Hello all, I have two aspects in mind.
A) Imagine the artist has a lot of shapes on the canvas. He wants to devise a new color-scheme. I intend that the artist should be able to select more than one shape simultaneously and their co-ordinates appear as draggable nodes on the color wheel. Now the artists can drag a single node ( a small round knob) on the color wheel for a particular shape and decide what looks best. This is an interactive way of coloring your work and is very user-friendly or rather artist friendly.
B) In another mode of the 'Recolor Artwork' tool, we can fix a primary color and then assign secondary color's to it. So now, we 'LOCK' the relationships b/w the the primary colors, and when we rotate the primary color node, the whole color scheme changes.
Also, I shall be as honest as I can be, at the present moment as I write this reply, I do not have a clear understanding of how SVG would/does implement Color Schemes. Same goes for the debate about whether using CSS based styles or SVG based. Given that GSoC is intended to learn and grow as a developer, I assure you that I am more than ready to learn about these technologies. It would really help if you guys could point out a reading source , though general Google searches would also do the trick, in my view. Also, whether I'm informed enough to be a part of the decision to use SVG or CSS to implement the tool archtecture right now , I am not sure of. Please guide accordingly. Thankyou.

Hi again Arshdeep.
Point A is very powerful, keep in mind the use too for mesh tool!
I dont undertand well point B but maybe a check to "link values" and the movements in one small round knob in the color weel move all others in a logic HSB or what you feel better and update directly in all canvas.
If the improvement be applied to a group/s could be too much knobs, but whith the linked feature... Maybe another check "black is black" or a blacklist linked colors.
Hi, Jabier.

Hi,
I don't get 1) Managing Color Themes with one go.
What does this mean ?
"Somewhere" near the color wheel, we'll have a panel with a buttonbar/dropdown/whatever to choose a color scheme (such as triad) and that will display some colors to choose from accordingly to color scheme currently selected ?
We'll be able to load/save palette from/to disk (*.gpl) and store them directly into the svg ? * <linearGradient* * inkscape:isPalette="true"* id="My_palette_about_fire" dc:title="My palette about fire" dc:author="Me" dc:licence="CC-BY" inkscape:collect="always"> <stop id="full_red" dc:title="full red" style="stop-color:#ff0000;stop-opacity:1;" offset="0" /> <stop id="bright_orange" dc:title="bright orange" style="stop-color:#ffdd00;stop-opacity:1;" offset="0.5" /> <stop id="yellow" dc:title="yellow" style="stop-color:#ffff00;stop-opacity:1;" offset="1" /> </linearGradient>
