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

Hi Richard,
Sorry this question never got answered - my guess is that we didn't quite understand? Could you update us on your progress with it and give some more details on where you're stuck?
It's great to see work done on the latex stuff, because few people are skilled at working on it - unfortunately this also means there is little documentation to point to for help. Still, please be persistent with questions and hopefully folks can help get you up to speed with it. :-)
