Scale Journal 8/9 Call For Participation + Guest Editor Joel Swanson + http://scale.ucsd.edu/
by Jon Phillips 04 Sep '04

04 Sep '04

Greetings, + please forward + This email is a call for submissions from theorists and practitioners in the following fields: Art, Architecture, Communication, Comparative Philosophy, Computation, Computer Audio, Critical Theory, Design, Literature, Media (New and Old), Music, Performance, and Software Design. SCALE (http://scale.ucsd.edu) would like to encourage you to submit "work" for its upcoming online-only August & September issue. SCALE is a non-profit journal that explores new modes of production and dissemination based on open-source and networked communities. The theme for the August/September SCALE is APOCALYPSE. As we look forward to the coming election in November, it seems prudent to reinvest ourselves in exploring the possibilities of our own self-destruction. Often rooted in religious and science-fiction genres, apocalyptic themes have proven fruitful as a framework from which to question our collective hopes, fears, and concerns, on a local and universal scale. In your submissions, feel free to explore and exploit your personal imaginations of APOCALYPSE as a loose starting point for your submission. Please keep in mind that SCALE likes to abide by terms obliquely, and as such encourages all types of submissions, from dirty sketches and musings, to polished images and essays. Initially formulated within the graduate programs of the Visual Arts at the University of California, San Diego, SCALE was created by Jon Phillips (http://www.rejon.org) and Patrick W. Deegan (http://www.pwdeegan.org) as a strategy of response to a growing interest in developing Open Source communities across the globe. SCALE is a monthly publication living in both PDF print and online PDF/WIKI format. +++++++++++++ SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS: + Additional instructions for submission can be found at http://scale.ucsd.edu under “Read the File and Style Guidelines.” + Text or Image submissions must be in PDF format NOT exceeding 10MB and 8.5” x 11”in dimension. Because this month is ONLINE-ONLY, color submissions are encouraged. Images must be 300dpi. + Multimedia submissions will be hyperlinked for download from a page within in the compiled PDF publication. If submitting a file for linkage, it is recommended you also submit some type of graphic image in consideration of how your piece will be represented in the layout. By doing so, we can include the URL to your file within the image provided by you. If other circumstances are desired, please let us know. + For Multimedia submissions, please upload the actual file and NOT the URL to where it is located on behalf of your own site. WE WILL BE HOSTING THESE FILES ON THE SCALE SERVER. However, mentions of your respective websites are allowed. + All work submitted will be initially accredited to you unless suggested otherwise, however, in its online format the work will be deemed Open Content (as defined by http://www.creativecommons.org) and could possibly be subject to artistic reinterpretation (at a later date) on behalf of SCALE’s community of readers. +++++++++++++ DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS: + The submission process begins now and ends effectively on Monday, September 20, 2004. + In the week to follow, we will be compiling and publishing the online-only August/September issue. + Submissions, progress, and status can be immediately checked online. +++++++++++++ If you have any questions, please contact any of us directly. Thank you. We look forward to your submissions . . .

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Re: Select Under

> But how to `modifie with the mouse` the object below ? > For example : > I select an object that is below an other, > and after this want to move it; a click-drag on this selected area > select and move the object at the top. You can resize/rotate/skew the object that you selected by alt-click as usual with handles, and you can move it with arrow keys (I always use arrows for moving). However you are right that dragging such object with mouse won't work because it will switch the selection to the topmost object again. I think what we need is a new Alt+drag mode which would mean "drag what is selected now, without selecting anything else no matter where I start the drag." I will think about it some more and if I don't find any problems with this idea I'll implement it.

So good (and so easy to hook up to Inkscape) that we added Potrace to Inkscape this weekend. :) It is in CVS now, in a limited fashion. Just select the image, and choose the "Trace bitmap" menu item. A dialog for adjusting parameters will be added later. But this simple implementation, with a hardcoded 50% brightness threshold seems to work fairly well. Thanks for the idea! Bob

moving forward (Was: Re: cause of crashes)
by MenTaLguY 29 Aug '04

Ok, so it appears we're currently waiting on someone to test with a build of libgc that we know to have been compiled with the appropriate options (this means C++ support, but nothing else -- particularly no malloc replacement). So, is someone willing to assume responsibility for making a new build of libgc to test with, and documenting what steps they took when building it? -mental

ANNOUNCE Scribus 1.2 Released
by Atlantic Tech Solutions 29 Aug '04

29 Aug '04

The Scribus Team is pleased to announce the release of Scribus 1.2 - Open Source Desktop Publishing. The 1.2 release is the culmination of over 1 year of hard work since last year's 1.0 release. The Scribus team urges all users and distros to use this latest release. The Scribus Team is also proud to announce the first commercial implementation of Scribus for commercial newspaper production. Last month, the premier issue of Twin Tier Times, a US weekly newspaper was launched using a production workflow centered on Scribus and other Open Source applications including GIMP 2.0, Inkscape and others. Among the major changes and features in 1.2 since the release of Version 1.0: * A new EPS/PS importer, which can import EPS and PS files as vector or postscript outlines, which can then be edited as native Scribus objects. * A dedicated documentation site, http://docs.scribus.net has been implemented. There are French and German translations in progress. * Over 800 bug reports and user feature requests have been squashed. * Scribus now features a New from/ Save as Template plug-in, which enables end users to quickly generate preformatted documents. This is useful for both first time users, as well as experts. * The Scribus GUI is now translated into 27 languages. * Scribus 1.2 features new print previewer which has the ability to render CMYK separations on screen, transparency, UCR (Under Color Removal) to give users a true postscript generated preview of the page. * A new table feature to create basic tables within Scribus. * Many enhancements to text frames including multi-columned text, baseline grids, new contour options, tabs and drop caps. * Several new plug-ins for exporting documents as images, as well as special typography plug-ins for Czech, French and other languages. Scribus was chosen by Trolltech as one of their "Cool Applications". We on the Scribus Team are honored to be recognized as such and appreciate the recognition. The Scribus Team will present the first public demo at KDE Community World Summit 2004 "aKademy" 21-29 August, 2004 Ludwigsburg (Stuttgart Region), Germany. Enjoy!

Producing SVG input for Inkscape
by Bill Peel 28 Aug '04

Perhaps everyone knows about this already but I have found the free potrace program very useful for tracing bitmap line-art into svg format. The resulting svg file can then be imported into Inkscape for further manipulation. I have also produced diagrams using various LaTeX drawing macro packages in eps format, converted them to pbm format using Ghostscript and then to svg using potrace. This could be a way of converting suitable public domain clipart from bitmap format into svg format for use with Inkscape. Thanks Bill Peel
