It had too, because it was very annoying and at the same time very hard to fix. I didn't see this fix coming, so thanks a lot! To all: With all these great improvements and side effects, please do not forget to mention them in the release notes (http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_notes/0.49) BTW, is anyone still working on the new website? It's been quite quiet in that area lately (and hence I'm cross-posting this to the user list). I want to put compilation instructions online for Fedora 15. Will these be retained when posting to the old wiki? Diederik

force relative coordinates
by Adrian Dusa 23 Jun '11

23 Jun '11

Dear All, I want to create a path, forcing all points to relative coordinates. I checked "Allow relative coordinates" and "Force repeat commands" in the Inkscape preferences. Toy example: <path sodipodi:nodetypes="ccccccccccccccc" inkscape:connector-curvature="0" id="path2984" d="m 105,0 c 21,1 21,26 8,32 c 42,23 82,78 32,113 c 10,5 10,5 10,30 l -28,0 c 0,23 0,23 61,23 c 17,1 19,12 22,22 c -85,0 -95,5 -105,-23 c -10,28 -20,23 -105,23 c 3,-10 5,-21 22,-22 c 61,0 61,0 61,-23 l -28,0 c 0,-25 0,-25 10,-30 c -50,-35 -10,-90 32,-113 c -13,-6 -13,-31 8,-32 z" style="fill:#b70000;fill-opacity:0.6;stroke:none" /> This looks fine, but when I am moving the path (say 5px to the right), and then back again, the path gets fixed coordinates (which I would like to avoid): d="m 105,0 c 21,1 21,26 8,32 c 42,23 82,78 32,113 c 10,5 10,5 10,30 l -28,0 c 0,23 0,23 61,23 c 17,1 19,12 22,22 c -85,0 -95,5 -105,-23 C 95,225 85,220 0,220 c 3,-10 5,-21 22,-22 c 61,0 61,0 61,-23 l -28,0 c 0,-25 0,-25 10,-30 C 15,110 55,55 97,32 C 84,26 84,1 105,0 z" What would be the best way of forcing the path to (always) relative coordinates?

Re: [Inkscape-user] force relative coordinates

>(BTW, the entry "Numeric precision" has a misleading tooltip "How many >digits to write after the decimal dot", whereas the value evidetly means the >total number of valid digits.) Any reason why Inkscape's "precision setting" option limits "significant figures" instead of "decimal places"? Placing a limit on "significant figures" forces arbitrarily higher precision for coordinates near the origin of the drawing. Precision drops logarithmically (in discrete jumps) as the coordinates move away from the origin. E.g. Consider the following horizontal path created with a numeric precision of "8". d="M 0.17036585,0 243.56794,0 507.68921,0 801.52616,0 1128.1785,0" Note how the first coordinate has eight decimal places while the last coordinate has four decimal places. The extra precision on the lower valued coordinates leads to necessary file bloat. When a drawing has thousands of points this bloat becomes significant. I would prefer it if inkscape could let me create paths where each coordinate had a set number of decimal places like this: d="M 0.1704,0 243.5679,0 507.6892,0 801.5262,0 1128.1785,0" -crjw

Font size in the Latex Export
by Jan Schmidtbauer 22 Jun '11

22 Jun '11

Hi, I wonder if it is possible to change the fontsize for the LaTeX export, e.g. to small, for all Latex inputs in the drawing. Maybe there is a python script which generates the Latex code and where I could add a \small Latex command. Thank you in advance for your answers.

how to query for document size from command line
by Marcin Mikosik 18 Jun '11

18 Jun '11

Hi, Is there a command line option in inkscape that returns width and height of document's page? The closest I found is: inkscape --query-width picture.svg inkscape --query-height picture.svg but this returns width/height of drawing (which might be smaller/bigger than actual page). I know that <svg> tag in svg file has width/height attribute so I guess there should be appropriate inkscape query for that. Thanks Marcin

Official Inkscape PPAs
by Josh Andler 14 Jun '11

14 Jun '11

Hey All, I just wanted to tell everyone about the creation of two PPAs that we created for Ubuntu users. One is for the current stable/supported release of Inkscape (not populated yet). https://launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/+archive/stable The other is a nightly/trunk PPA for our testers and those who just want the newest features right away. https://launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/+archive/trunk We owe a big thank you to Alex Valavanis and Cafuego for doing all the hard stuff. Cheers, Josh

New Measurement Tool in Inkscape
by Felipe Sanches 14 Jun '11

14 Jun '11

Hello, I'd like to let you all know that I have been working on a new tool for measuring objects in Inkscape. Here is a screencast of the tool: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZKnxTO11xE But if you checkout the development code from Bazaar , then you'll see some new things that were implemented in the tool after recording the screencast (i.e. the tool now displays angle info also). Happy Hacking, Felipe Sanches PS: If you find bugs prease report them and assign the bugs to me at Lauchpad bug tracker.
