Hi, I am writing you because inkscape lists you as the responsible for scripting/extensions.
The thing is I wanted to do some overlay based animations with Inkscape. The idea is to name layers/objects and then write scripts to show/hide them and take snapshots. This way you can make a presentation by listing the snapshots.
Since the RubyInk web page was not working (I think this is listed as Ruby's API for inkscape) I wrote myself a very tiny API for manipulating SVG files. I only wrote enough functionality for what I needed to do.
So, maybe somebody is interested in the code, or want to improve it. I don't know how to advertise it, but if you are interested, it's in http://github.com/thiagobart/rubyscape
Cheers, Thiago
Hi Thiago and all,
I did the RubyInk and from 2008 that script become part of the RubySVG project: http://rubysvg.rubyforge.org
You can download it from the project page.
Well... i love Ruby and i contribute with Noosfero, a RubyOnRails web social platform, but i did not work more to RubySVG and RubyInk because i don't see other ones with interest on Ruby+Inkscape, and i become a Inkscape developer. The official extensions must be made in python to make it easy to run on windows, where we don't have apt or yum to install dependences easily. :-)
I can give you the permission to write in the RubySVG SVN and also to admin the project to unify the works.
See your interest is good, and if you you like to join the efforts i may back to the Ruby+Inkscape work, and make the RubySVG better.
Cheers, Aurium
