Re: [Inkscape-devel] New dynamics interface proposal
Thanks for uploading the file Veronika!
http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Tiling_tool
I've edited the wiki page some more: - Added a table of UI design status, so feel free to add your own input of what seems OK already and what isn't - Added description for radial tiling - Added description for line tiling - Re-added proposal for symmetrical dynamics around base tile, but also noting that the current tiling mechanism does not support it - Added current discussion on on-canvas Dynamics. Also added a proposal: "preview mode for dynamics" (click a checkbox next to wherever the toolbar item for dynamics is located). Inkscape will render a preview of the dynamics by applying it to the frame's different tiles, also adding blur, color, opacity. You cannot edit transformations or jitters in this mode. Uncheck to return to "edit" mode.
I've also finally added a blueprint link: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/inkscape/+spec/tiling-tool
Although work still needs to be done, especially concerning on- canvas dynamics, I doubt on-canvas dynamics editing will be implemented anytime soon, first because Inkscape is currently more focused on clean-up, second because the tiling tool itself isn't likely that high priority, third because even then, many other features need to be coded first before reaching that particular feature...
By the way, am I the only one for whom the text tool now crashes every time I try to start a new text box? (I can copy existing text boxes and change the content though)
inkscape: /usr/include/boost/optional/optional.hpp:641: boost::optional<T>::pointer_type boost::optional<T>::operator->() [with T = Geom::Rect, boost::optional<T>::pointer_type = Geom::Rect*]: Assertion `this->is_initialized()' failed.
(kind of annoying while making the mock-ups)

Failed reproduce it based on your description (creating new text objects with current trunk works without crash on OS X 10.5.8 (32bit) and 10.7.2 (64bit)), but can trigger a crash consistently when editing text based on the steps provided in bug #960980 [1]:
1) open 'Export bitmap…' and keep it open in the dock 2) create new (regular) text object 3) enter text on-canvas 4) use 'backspace' to delete all just entered text
-> crash when last remaining letter is deleted.

I did find the lack of comments suspicious, maybe I did something wrong?
I'm using Ubuntu 11.10, and the ppa from here: http://ppa.launchpad.net/cafuego/inkscape/ubuntu/
(Inkscape 0.49~devel+11217+7~oneiric1 right now)
In the latest version, I'm still experiencing the same problem. I don't have to do anything else, just drag out a new text box.
The part the crash message is referring to is this:
/usr/include/boost/optional/optional.hpp
// Returns a pointer to the value if this is initialized, otherwise, // the behaviour is UNDEFINED // No-throw pointer_const_type operator->() const { BOOST_ASSERT(this->is_initialized()) ; return this->get_ptr_impl() ; } pointer_type operator->() { BOOST_ASSERT(this->is_initialized()) ; return this->get_ptr_impl() ; }
The whole section is this:
// Returns a reference to the value if this is initialized, otherwise, // the behaviour is UNDEFINED // No-throw reference_const_type get() const { BOOST_ASSERT(this->is_initialized()) ; return this->get_impl(); } reference_type get() { BOOST_ASSERT(this->is_initialized()) ; return this->get_impl(); }
// Returns a copy of the value if this is initialized, 'v' otherwise reference_const_type get_value_or ( reference_const_type v ) const { return this->is_initialized() ? get() : v ; } reference_type get_value_or ( reference_type v ) { return this->is_initialized() ? get() : v ; }
// Returns a pointer to the value if this is initialized, otherwise, // the behaviour is UNDEFINED // No-throw pointer_const_type operator->() const { BOOST_ASSERT(this->is_initialized()) ; return this->get_ptr_impl() ; } pointer_type operator->() { BOOST_ASSERT(this->is_initialized()) ; return this->get_ptr_impl() ; }
// Returns a reference to the value if this is initialized, otherwise, // the behaviour is UNDEFINED // No-throw reference_const_type operator *() const { return this->get() ; } reference_type operator *() { return this->get() ; }
Anything in there that looks suspicious?

Updated my on canvas dynamics editor mockup of how perhaps to edit various settings. It's basically a rearrangeable stack of "filters" to apply to objects, meant for any setting that can be mapped via an adjustment of a scalar value (one dimensional number), meaning perhaps one color from a gradient strip, line width, scale, etc. Special handling for sampling stroke or fill. It would be entertaining to be able to tie controls to custom filters too!
Single click on a node to simply select, and use normal color dialogs to set, double click on a node to bring up the stack editor.
