If anyone was expecting a mail about a GUADEC presentation, and didn't get one, please let me know. It's entirely possible that I missed one or two. - -<p> <p> Some people have queried why there is a proceedings for GUADEC, and why authors have to submit papers. The explanation is two-fold. - -<p> <p> First, writing a paper beforehand helps the presenter organise his material and gives attendees a support for the conference, which allows greater participation, and a more coherent presentation. Writing slides in the train before a conference is a practice that should be discouraged. - -<p> <p> Second, several attendees can get funding to attend if the conference is an academic conference - which means having a proceedings. The Norwegian guys were really great with this last year, especially Janis who took care of all the administravia, and several people got to the conference on college grants thanks to that proposal. Since funds are typically tight, any help that we can give to attendees is a good thing. - -<p> <p> Finally, we're not asking for a formal oeuvre. You're not going to have your article submitted for a Pulitzer. A couple of pages presenting the major concepts you want to present, essentially a long abstract, is fine. And if you don't have time, or just don't want to, let us know at guadec-papers, and we'll sort something out. - -<p> <p> That said, I encourage everyone presenting to write a paper, at least 2 pages, at most 5, since it will really help the GNOME Users and Developers in Europe, who are, after all, what the conference is about. --------------------------------- -Title: Zaheer Abbas Merali: Ashura -Link: http://zaheer.merali.org/?p=100 -Date: Mon Feb 21 13:59:55 UTC 2005 -Creator: -Subject: -Category: -Content: -<img src="http://planet.gnome.org/heads/zaheer.png" align="right" alt=""><p>Yesterday was <a href="http://www.ashura.com/">Ashura</a>.

At times it's quite masochistic compared to Illustrator or GIMP, but some things are easier than what I was used to. One of the things is making sure the outline "snaps" to the final rendering grid. That was tough with Illustrator, not because it didn't have sophisticated aids to do that, but because it used a different renderer than the GNOME desktop.</p> - -<p>One thing that totally rocks is that in trunk (0.41) you can work pixel-precise at the target resolution and it's truly WYSIWYG. It may not have Illustrator's pixel-preview so that you can see the bitmap rendering even when working on zoomed canvas, but simply having another view at 1:1 works ok<sup>[<a id="note1" href="http://jimmac.musichall.cz/weblog.php?flav=rss#footnote1">1</a>]</sup>. Librsvg then reders it exactly the same as inkscape. I need to see about cairo/xsvg.</p> - -<div><img alt="#" src="http://jimmac.musichall.cz/stuff/leftbitmap_rightvector.png" width="117" height="76" border="0" /><p>Original bitmap on the left. Traced and pixel positioned on the right. Renders just like that with librsvg.</p></div> - -<p>I had an idea how to overcome the complexity of creating icons at multiple resolutions that I <a href="http://primates.ximian.com/~jimmac/blog/Artwork/ScalableIcons/">wrote about earlier</a>. SVG rocks for theme maintanance - you can save all the work with exporting, since you can just save your working inkscape SVG and that's it.</p> - -<div><a href="http://jimmac.musichall.cz/screenshots/screenshot-413713000.jpg"><img alt="#" src="http://jimmac.musichall.cz/images/blog/git-vectoricons.jpg" width="458" height="366" border="0" /></a></div> - -<p>Now while I don't think automatic hinting can help making the icons readable for 16x16, what if I could have layers in the SVG for individual target render size? RSVG would render a layer similarly to how the icon theme engine picks appropriate bitmap version. No need to maintain multiple images. I think doing bitmaps for 16x16 and 24x24 is still going to take less time than doing them in vector, but nothing prevents me having a bitmap in the SVG ;)</p> - -<p>Alternatively it could have the layers toggled invisible for regular rendering. But if we had some switch in inkscape to "solo" particular layer, 16x16 and 24x24 bitmap rendering could be automated with a script and still maintain a single file.</p> - -<div id="footnote1" class="footnote"> -<p>[<a href="http://jimmac.musichall.cz/weblog.php?flav=rss#note1">1</a>] I also noticed the simplification wrt grid functionality really makes sense. I haven't missed not being able to see the grid without snapping to it at all. If I want to see the grid, I mostly want to snap to it too. If I don't, I just hide it.</p> -<p>On the other hand I found out I really miss being able to node select from multiple objects. I'm a consistant shape tweaker and not being able to move a bunch of nodes from multiple overlaid objects is a pain.</p> -</div> --------------------------------- -Title: Jakub Steiner: Inkscape Evaluation -Link: http://jimmac.musichall.cz/weblog.php/Inkscape/Inkscape -Date: Mon Feb 21 01:41:36 UTC 2005 -Creator: -Subject: -Category: -Content: -<img src="http://planet.gnome.org/heads/jimmac.png" align="right" alt=""><p>I thought that if I have to do the icons in SVG ever again, I may as well -revisit the river. Since I just upgraded to <a href="http://www.ubuntulinux.org">Ubuntu Hoary</a> (Gnome 2.10 is slick!), I -gave <a href="http://inkscape.org">Inkscape</a> a try again.</p> - -<p>Since I'm an old Illustrator junkie, I knew it's going to be tough getting -used to especially since I've tried and failed before. I expected being -disappointed, I was surprised in many areas though. Looks like a lot of good -stuff happened while I wasn't watching :) I'm actually confident that it's -usable to create less complex artwork.</p> - -<p>So let's start with the good things.</p> - -<ul> - - <li>Nice shortcut overview. It could have been setup on a landscape A4 to get - printed easily though.</li> - - <li>A few introductory tutorials. Just what I needed. It's actually better - for me than a full featured documentation which is usually too boring to chew - through ;). What's even more fun is these tutorials are in fact SVG images, - so it features examples you can try right on canvas while reading. - Ingenious.</li> - - <li>Easy numerical entry of object properties (toolbar) with advanced - properties in a floating dialog.</li> - - <li>Keyboard navigation not only for object and canvas movement, but rotation - and scaling as well (now finally the <span class="shortcut">Alt</span> - modifier starts making sense</span>). Moving in pixel units with <span class="shortcut">Alt</span> of the current zoom level is a lot better than - the absolute units in Adobe Illustrator. This absolutely rocks.</li> - - <li>Layers with visibility toggle and <em>layer locking</em>! Oh man, I can't - stress enough how this is useful. Also individual objects can be locked, but - unlocking them is hard, I could only do this with the XML editor.</li> - - <li><span class="shortcut">F12</span> toggles the visible floating docks. - Very handy in fullscreen (although the <em>layout dock</em> seems to be - visible all the time).</li> - - <li>While function keys are still mapped to tools, there's also shortcuts - that are easily memorizable — <span class="shortcut">T</span> for Text, - <span class="shortcut">S</span> for Object select etc. <span class="shortcut">#</span> for grid toggle got me :).</li> - - <li>Color Dropper. I prefer to call it <em>picker</em> instead since it's not - applying color on the clicked objects, it's <em>picking it up</em> and - applies on the selected objects. Unfortunately the tool isn't as useful as - it could be. It only takes the color property while it could be used to pick - more properties such as stroke, fill (gradient, pattern, bitmap), effects, - etc. (configurable as tool options just like in GIMP). Inkscape does provide - this functionality with <em>Edit>Paste Style</em>, but doesn't allow - individual style properties to be selected (only fill, only stroke...).</li> - - <li>Helpful status bar. It tells you what a modifier key will do. It doesn't - list all functionality, but mostly the important one. Absolutely cool for - when you're learning the tool. I found <span class="shortcut">Alt+Click</span> like that. It's used to "select under" with - the selection tool active and it's very handy when I'm left without a nice - layer stack overview.</li> - - <li>Boolean Operations. Creating complex shapes out of primitives is a lot - easier with these tools.</li> - - <li>Cloning. Instead of duplicating, you can create an instance of an object. - Gotta get used to the fact that even transformations are inherited.</li> - - <li>The 0.40 aboutbox is sexy as hell :)</li> - - <li>Metadata. Not oly cool for copyright info, but for <a href="http://jimmac.musichall.cz/doc/high-contrast/html/ch01s05.xhtml">icon - accessibility too</a>.</li> - - <li>Object stamping. You drag an object around and where you press <span class="shortcut">spacebar</span> it creates a copy.</li> - - <li>Text tool. I wish we had a mature text tool like this in GIMP. Letter - spacing (<span class="shortcut">Alt+<</span>, <span class="shortcut">Alt+></span>), kerning, (<span class="shortcut">Alt+Left</span>, <span class="shortcut">Alt+Right</span>), - vertical text, shaped block of text (kinda hacky, but working).</li> - - <li>Didn't crash on me ;) While some of us take it for granted, <a href="http://www.cinepaint.org">some projects</a> don't consider stability a - priority...</li> - -</ul> - -<a href="http://jimmac.musichall.cz/images/blog/inkscape1.png"><img alt="#" src="http://jimmac.musichall.cz/images/blog/inkscape1.jpg" width="458" height="366" border="0" /></a> - -<p>So as you can see, in many areas I've been very pleasantly surprised. You -can see Inkscape developers did listen to their artists, err users. There's -some inconsistencies with the GIMP that I personally find confusing:</li> - -<ul> - - <li><div>Path tool. I mean come on guys, the GIMP path tool rocks. The modifiers - rock, you can work with both nodes <em>and</em> segments and it's just unnice - to have something out of this planet when users like me, that are used to - GIMP could be making paths in Inkscape in a nano. /me makes a sad, sad - face.</div><br /> - <div>I'm used to tracing objects by creating a polygon first and then - converting the particular nodes to curvy. I just found the trick is not to - try to convert a node, but a segment to a curve. Maybe if I try hard enough, - I can live with this. Also I'd love the handles to be controllable with a - keyboard, not only the nodes alone.</div></li> - - <li>Redo is <span class="shortcut">Ctrl+Shift+Z</span> while GIMP's is <span class="shortcut">Ctrl+Y</span>.</li> - - <li><span class="shortcut">Ctrl</span> locks aspect while <span class="shortcut">Shift</span> centers the pivot point. GIMP's exactly the - other way around.</li> - - <li>I miss the thumbnail navigator that GIMP has in the lower right - corner. Also zoom-on-resize locking that's in GIMP 2.2 (upper right corner) - would be useful here too. <em>Update: I've been pointed out that I'm just - blind, it's right there! ;)</em></li> - - <li>The gradient editor is even worse than GIMP's. When I'm bitching about - it, I guess I should provide a spec. But more annoying than defining the - gradient is not being able to specify direction and length on canvas.</li> - -</ul> - -<a href="http://jimmac.musichall.cz/images/blog/inkscape2.png"><img alt="#" src="http://jimmac.musichall.cz/images/blog/inkscape2.jpg" width="458" height="366" border="0" /></a> - -<p>Some minor nitpicks and suggestions.</p> -<ul> - - <li>Layer support is fairly primitive and unfinished. Apart from the spartan - XML editor, I found no way to get a graphical representation of the layer - stack. Moving objects across layers also seems only possible in XML editor - which is very hard, since the stack is reversed and the layers aren't easily - identifiable (UI shows comments, while XML edito shows ids). Also I'm not - sure about the behaviour of the root node.</li> - - <li>While it may sound like a good idea to use vector icons in a vector - editor, it doesn't work in my opinion. The small resolution icons need detail - and crispness the vectors cannot give. Having a nice gnomish icon set would - surely help.</li> - - <li>I miss tootips for the toobar icons.</li> - - <li>Tool options are implemented as global preferences. While there is a - shortcut to get to these by double-clicking on the toolbar, you're presented - with a horror of two rows of tabs. Yikes!</li> - - <li>Some sort of library is required. Just like GIMP stores brushes and - gradients, Inkscape should have some global repository of gradients and - patterns.</li> - - <li>There's <em>XY properties</em> floating window depending on what type - of object is selected. These should go into the object properties float. If - the number of widgets would grow, solve either by using tabs or disclosure - triangles.</li> - - <li>Something completely subjective — I prefer the rubberband selection - to work objects even partially selected, not only the ones completely - enclosed in the selection rectangle.</li> - - <li><span class="shortcut">Ctrl+A</span> actually select all object - <em>within a layer</em> not on the document as the tutorial suggests. Not - saying it makes less sense, just that the docs are out of sync.</li> - - <li>One cannot group objects from different layers. Especially painful when - moving objects around layers manually is tough.</li> - - <li>I coulnd't figure out how to scale a pattern. In fact it should be - possible to not scale pattern along with object. Similarly, it should be - possible to scale an object but not scale the stroke width along.</li> - - <li>Deleting objects with <span class="shortcut">Backspace</span>. While - <span class="shortcut">Del</span> works, my powerbook doesn't have the del - key ;).</li> - - <li>Cloning is cool, but it would be super cool to be able to create such - object clones (links) within an external file. You could create mime type - icons by linking the document template from an external file and have a quick - way to alter the whole set.</li> - -</ul> - -<a href="http://jimmac.musichall.cz/images/blog/inkscape3.png"><img alt="#" src="http://jimmac.musichall.cz/images/blog/inkscape3.jpg" width="458" height="366" border="0" /></a> - -<p>And I few features I'm still missing an alternative for:</p> - -<ul> - - <li>Object blending. Select two objects and pick how many inbetween states - you want or optionally a path along which to do the morph. Essential time - saviour when duplicating objects. Inkscape does have a mean that's a bit less - straight forward (subjective again). You can either use stamping and then - distribute objects using the align dock or do the same with clones or - duplicates (just need to pick one from the duplicated stack and reposition to - the other extreme).</li> - - <li>Converting stroke into objects. Sometimes you want to have more control - about the dotted outline.</li> - - <li>I may have just missed it, but there's no outline draw mode. Sometimes - it's easier to find an object like that. Also perhaps when tweaking shapes - with the node tool, the fill could go away to speed things up. The more - complex the artwork is, the slower the thing gets. And sometimes way way - slower than bearable.</li> - - <li>Pixel preview. If we had the same renderer in GNOME & Inkscape, it would - help tweaking the shapes pixel-precise, so it's sharp (aligns to the render - grid) at the 1:1 size.</li> - - <li>Node edit only works within selected object. I like to rubber-band select - nodes from a number of objects and move them to "stretch" an drawing in that - particular area. Doing one by one is close to impossible and stretching the - whole object is not what I want either.</li> - -</ul> --------------------------------- -Title: Jakub Steiner: Inkscape Gradients -Link: http://jimmac.musichall.cz/weblog.php/Inkscape/InkscapeGradients -Date: Mon Feb 21 01:36:00 UTC 2005 -Creator: -Subject: -Category: -Content: -<img src="http://planet.gnome.org/heads/jimmac.png" align="right" alt=""><p>Inkscape superstar, Bulia Byak, committed the beginning of his work on <a href="http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=10905321">better gradients</a> in Inkscape.
