Hi,
And can you share the french one now ? :) I'm interested to read it. Do you have a binary release to download somewhere ?
Yann.

Hi there, Our project is coming to an end, and we would like to know if some of you did try the spray tool, and in this case, what they think of it. Even if our spray won't appear in the next release, we were proud to work on Inkscape. We wrote a report in french, but we are going to translate it as soon as possible (but if you wanna work your french, just ask).
Last but not least, what do we do next to make sure that our tool will be integrated to the next dev version? Our code is available here : http://svn.eclair.ec-lyon.fr/svn/pi2010_inkscape.
Thanks a lot!

The Spray Tool is fantastic imho. The additional dialog with more options is the least appealing aspect of it, imho. Otherwise it's a GREAT addition.
The reason it won't make it into 0.47 is because it was finished so late in this dev cycle. It will be great to have it go in right after trunk is reopened for all development though. :)
Do you or any of the other students have commit access to the main repo? If not, best practice would be to submit it as a patch, to follow our established protocol. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
Cheers, Josh

Which parameter is altered by pressure? I expected population value to increase when I press the stylus harder, but this doesn't seem to happen. Besides, the tool works nicely for me, I haven't noticed any bugs or crashes. Great job!
I already pointed it out to the students, I'm glad the project went well. Only open-source can offer the opportunity to work on a large scale software with educational purposes in mind. I hope their work will be welcomed into trunk after the 0.47 release.
Here are some comments on the tool as it is today : - Inkscape stores the current tool parameter values, unfortunately the sidebar fields values are back to the default ones each time Inkscape launch, thus they don't display the good information. -"Rotation" default values should be 0.0 and 0.0 - the "Width" slider on the toolbar isn't synchronized with the "Width" parameter of the side pannel. - "angle"and "rotation" parameters should be in degres instead of radians. - the "ratio" parameter of the brush shape is ambiguous. I would expect a circle for a ratio of 1. It needs to be defined precisely and understood well by the user.

What's the status of this? I'm not following this since a while. Last I remember is that there were two spray tools, one already implemented (disguised as several submodes for the Tweak tool) and the other in works from the french school. Care somebody to tell how both overlap? Does it try to implement parts of my blueprint?
I would test it myself but I don't have Linux and i don't see any Win32 version (if someone knows where I can findd one, please tell me).

There is a win32 version that has the spray tool applied?! If this is accurate and exists in all the builds there, this needs to be undone asap. Having testing builds at this point that are out of sync with trunk is counterproductive for testing pre-release builds. Someone please report back on the status of this.
Cheers, Josh
sorry, I don't know about the spray tool, I just know where the latest version is, hope I didn't mislead anyone ...
just writing to confirm that it does not exist in Windows build 21502

They worked on their own branch. And they added a new "Spray" tool in the ToolBar. It was decided that their work would not be merged before the 0.47 release. I tried it and in fact their spray tool is really designed to spray objects (the same you would paint with a spray). The tweak tool is still here to tweak their repartition. The workflow is much more intuitive than with the current "duplicate" mode of the tweak tool. When their work is integrated, we may have to discuss to move some functionalities from one tool to an other. (I personally think it's working well as it was built)
Does it try to implement parts of my blueprint?
Indeed your blueprint ( http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/SpecSprayTool ) was the base of their work. Basically, they decided to simplify to be able to make it on time. - You have the choice to spray with "copies", "clones" and "into a single path". - It handles any object (shape, group, text...). - You can set rotation and scale variations. - The repartition they implemented is a Gaussian one, you can change its parameters. - You can open a side panel for more parameters.
I would test it myself but I don't have Linux and i don't see any Win32 version (if someone knows where I can findd one, please tell me).
Only the sources are available [1].
The students wrote a report, it is in French but has many illustrations [2]. I would suggest you to check it. Last time I heard of them, they intended to write an English translation of it.

Thanks for the quick responses, specially Steren for his (her?) explanation. I "read" (looked at the pictures) the report and I'm happy that someone took the time to implement my blueprint. Thanks to all the students involved. Too bad I don't have a win32 version to try it out.
