Tracking Dependencies

Pluca: /* Distros */

(stub contents in need of filling out)

== Overview ==

We need help getting our basic lib dependencies listed out and kept up to date. Also we need to track which versions of which distros have the needed dependencies.

To get glib and GTK+ dependencies figured out, people can go through the API documentation and look for the 'since' entries saying when calls were added. Then look for those calls in our source. Voila! we'll have base minimum dependencies figured out.

Google Summer of Code 2008

Pluca: /* Suggested Ideas */

= Welcome to Inkscape! =

We've mentored about half a dozen students a year since GSoC started. Many students enjoyed their work and continue to be involved; perhaps your mentor will be a past GSoC student! We have a high rate of acceptance of student code into the core codebase. Indeed, GSoC projects have been a key source of some of Inkscape's best features in the past several releases.

The Inkscape team plans to focus this summer on codebase cleanup and refactoring. This will affect the type of projects we can accept this year; we're looking for ones that either won't affect core code too significantly (such as Extension scripts, or File Input/Output formats) or that would actually result in improving the state of the codebase (adding tests, modularization, etc.). Students who have already been active developers in Inkscape previously will be allowed more latitude to work on core code (particularly if it will result in cleanup/refactoring of their past work).

= Student Applications =

* Google program information
** Summer of Code Application form
* Inkscape-specific information
** [[SOC Application Template]]
** [[Roadmap | Inkscape Roadmap]] - to see our overall objectives
** [[SOC Writing Project Proposals]] - some guidelines for proposals
** [[SOC Selection Criteria]] - how we rate applications

= Suggested Ideas =

* Inkscape test suite
* Python effects/extension scripts
* New file import or export support
* [https://blueprints.launchpad.net/inkscape/+spec/lib2geom-integration Integrate lib2geom] -
* [https://blueprints.launchpad.net/inkscape/+spec/xar-to-svg-converter xar-to-svg converter] - Converter for Xara Xtreme to Inkscape
* [https://blueprints.launchpad.net/inkscape/+spec/new-from-template-dialog 'New From Template' dialog]
* [https://blueprints.launchpad.net/inkscape/+spec/lpe-blueprint More Live Path Effects] - There is a lengthy list of ideas to choose from here.
* [https://blueprints.launchpad.net/inkscape/+spec/kml-svg-translation KML SVG translation] - For use of Inkscape with Google Earth or Maps
* [https://blueprints.launchpad.net/inkscape/+spec/kidscape-project kidscape] - Condensed version of Inkscape aimed at young kids and small form factor devices
* [https://blueprints.launchpad.net/inkscape/+spec/cutter-control Cutter control] - Enable Inkscape's use with vinyl cutters.
* [https://blueprints.launchpad.net/inkscape/+spec/icc-for-cairo ICC Color Management for cairo outputs] - Would allow Inkscape to produce CMYK PDFs and PSs with Cairo.
* [https://blueprints.launchpad.net/inkscape/+spec/guides-improvement Guides Improvements]
* [https://blueprints.launchpad.net/inkscape/+spec/transformation-anchors Transformation Anchors]
* Add a palette of objects to Inkscape. Such a palette would contain often used objects and would allow categorizing such objects. Examples of categories: UML, electric, network.
* [https://blueprints.launchpad.net/inkscape/+spec/power-stroke Power Stroke] - Modulated width stroke LPE.

Please do not feel limited to the above ideas - some of our best contributions have been unique ideas that students had in mind from other sources!

= Power stroke =

The proposed power stroke LPE is as follow:

[[Image:Power-stroke-1.png]]

== Functionality ==

This LPE allows a modulated stroke from manually entered values.

Further development could allow direct width reading from a pressure-enabled device.

== Workflow ==

The user simply creates the line, it might for example be based on an outline.

Then the user applies the LPE to his shape, it overrides the normal stroke rendering and allows custom line width at different nodes of the path.

Only the stroke-width property of the path is overridden, the rest of the stroke properties keep working as usual, when relevant.

== GUI ==

Se image above. User selects a nodes or a set of nodes and affects values to those. When a node is selected, you can see what its value is by the change in values in the number entry or by the state of the push button.

Additionally, hovering over a node could show the value of a node. Graphical feedback could even possibly set different icons for nodes that are set and others that are interpolated.
