これは 0.45 バージョンのリリースアナウンスの概念です。

== Inkscape Announces 0.45 Release :: http://www.inkscape.org :: Draw Freely ==

今日、Inkscape コミュニティはベクトルグラフィックドローイングソフトウェアの最新バージョンを発表します。 Inkscape 0.45 は新しいガウスぼかし SVG フィルタを特徴とします。 Google サマーコードプログラムの後援を受け、ガウスぼかしは図形及びテキスト、イメージを含むどんな Inkscapeオブジェクトをも柔らかく自然にぼかします。これは適応性の広いフォトリアリスティックな効果(任意の形の影とライト(被写界深度、影、グローなど))を可能にします。また、「羽のついた仮面」効果を実現するためにぼかされたオブジェクトを他のオブジェクトのマスクに使うことができます。

多数の他の新機能、既存の機能の強化、およびバグ修正が含まれています。履歴ダイアログは変更履歴をブラウズすることを可能にします。パスに沿ったパターンと色効果を含む、新しい拡張効果が多く加えられました。一般に 2-3% 台、重い透明度かつ/あるいは円形グラデーションを使っている図形では最大 5-10% のパフォーマンスの改善がありました。合成の品質もグラデーションで見られた、バンディングの除去で改善されます。

Release notes/0.46

2007-01-27T00:42:26Z

Taken: /* Inkscape 0.46 */ s/Cairo/cairo/

=Inkscape 0.46=

* [sculpt profiles - bbyak]

* '''Smart redraw:''' With complex images and/or on slow computers, you may have noticed that Inkscape redraws the screen image in horizontal strips, and these strips are painted sequentially top to bottom. Now this direction is automatically changed based on where your mouse cursor is. In particular, if mouse is closer to the bottom of the area to redraw, strips will be painted in the bottom-to-top order. This significantly improves the responsiveness and interactivity in some situations. For example, when you are node-editing the bottom part of a complex path, the entire path needs to be redrawn on each change, but now this redraw starts from the bottom and therefore the you see the effect of your changes at once - i.e. while screen redraw may still lag behind your mouse movement, this lag is less noticeable.

* [gradient tool redesign - johan]

* [faster blur?]

* [if enabled!] A new cairo-based PDF exporter has been added to Inkscape. Inkscape 0.46 can export shapes, strokes, transparency, gradients, patterns, text, and images correctly to cairo. While clipping paths and masks are known to be faulty or missing. cairo will write a PDF with vector graphics when possible and fall back to raster graphics when needed. What can be exported as vectors and how much of the image will be rasterized when the fallback kicks in depends on your version of cairo. cairo version 1.2 with the pdf backend compiled in is the minimum requirement for any cairo-based PDF exports.

* In Gradient tool, when you have one of the '''gradient handles selected''', its style (color and opacity) is reflected by the selected style indicator (left of the statusbar) and the Fill&Stroke dialog. Previously, opacity of a gradient handle was reflected as fill-opacity and stroke-opacity; now it is reflected as '''master opacity''' (the "O:" spinbutton in the selected style indicator, the "Master opacity" slider in Fill&Stroke). This makes it much easier to view and change opacity of gradient handles using only the selected style indicator in the statusbar.

* If the selected object(s) have gradient in fill or stroke, the '''selected style indicator''' in the bottom-left corner of the editing window now displays a '''live gradient preview''' prefixed by '''R''' or '''L''' to indicate Radial or Linear gradients (instead of displaying "L Gradient" or "R Gradient" text labels as before). Also, this and other similar widget now use italic font face to indicate <i>None</i> and bold to indicate <b>Unset</b>.

==== OSX 10.3.9: cannot open files ====

* This bug is due to a missing symbol (_statvfs) in the system library /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib on 10.3.9. The dependency is introduced by one of the gnome-vf2 modules. It is not something we can easily fix other than by not linking with gnome-vfs2, which we will do for or upcoming '''0.46''' release if no other solution becomes apparent. [mjwybrow]

Please post links to screenshots and/or insights of this vector app. We must learn from others.

=== Notable features ===

* About the only scriptable free-software vector graphics program.
* Bézier curves, rectangles and ellipses can be used as guides.
* Text along path, with choice between rotation or vertical skew of glyphs. (Inkscape has SVG text-on-path, which I think only allows rotation rather than skew.) (However, I think someone was saying that Inkscape allowed better editing of the path or text afterwards.)
* Can blend between paths (morphing).
* Written mainly in Python.
* "Conical gradients" as well as the linear & radial gradients supported by SVG[[/Inkscape]].
* Claims to support masking; I haven't looked at its interface. (I believe Inkscape honours masking/clipping directives in SVG files, but has no user interface for this unless you count the boolean operations.)
* Has some import/export vector file formats that Inkscape lacks (cgm, cmx, fig). The import/export code is written in Python (see /usr/lib/ske*[[/Plugins/Filters]]/*{loader,saver}.py), so should be easy enough to adapt to SVG, or we could invoke skencil/skconvert to do the import/export as we do with sk_input.inx.

=== Layers ===

[http://www.nongnu.org/skencil/Images/tiger.png screenshot showing layer dialog] has four toggle buttons for each layer: screen visibility; printing visibility (probably including visibility in exported bitmaps); lockedness; and a "show outline only" option. Each layer can have its own colour used when show-out-line-only is on.

There is a separate layer for guide objects/lines. The layer's show-outline-only option is always on, the print option is always off, while the visibility and lockedness options remain togglable.

The grid has its own layer too, unselectable, but useful as a consistent interface for controlling its visibility and the colour of the grid dots. (It uses dots rather than lines for its grid representation.) The grid layer is always locked an non-printing, while visibility and colour remain settable.

Having a separate grid layer may help in Inkscape if we use njh's suggestion for having canvas controls to edit the grid. This grid prototype is in experimental/grid-proto/

=== Styles ===

Skencil has a reasonable interface for named styles. Individual objects can override properties assigned by styles, and there is an "Update style" command to copy those changes back to the style.

There are some gaps in the interface: when creating a style, one can control whether the style controls line thickness, but I didn't see a way of changing that after creation. There seem to be some inconsistencies about whether an object can belong to more than one style or not.

Skencil style control certainly isn't as sophisticated as that offered by SVG[[/CSS]], but we may borrow some things from it.

(Inkscape doesn't support named styles, unless you count inheriting styles from parents, such as layer membership.)

=== Tweening / Blending ===

[This section merely describes sketch 0.6's tweening, it is not a comparison between skencil's and inkscape's tweening. Consider moving/copying this to its own wiki page discussing how to implement tweening in inkscape.]

[Inkscape only recently (after most of this section was written) acquired a tweening function as an external script; I haven't looked at it yet, but I'd expect it not to be as powerful as sketch 0.6's tweening: e.g. external scripts in Inkscape can't give dynamic update.]

Good points in skencil's tweening functionality:
* "Dynamic": the mid-states are recomputed if you edit either of the end points. (See also bad points & limitations below.)

* Some degree of specialisation when begin & end objects have the same type. E.g. if the end objects are arcs/ellipses, then the tween states are arcs with interpolated start/end angles.
: I'd wondered whether it would be unintuitive/bad that tweening between some pairs of objects would give different tween states than if the objects had been converted to path, but I think skencil's behaviour is good: users can always explicitly convert to path if they wish.

Bad points & limitations:

* Little control over the interpolation:
** Can only specify the end points, can't specify one's own mid states except by doing n-1 tween operations (over each adjacent pair of one's objects), which would have to be plain linear (staight line segment) interpolation rather than curving.
:: What would be really cool would be to allow editing the tween states it gives to create new custom mid states (and having all the non-customized tween states adapt to the new hint).
** Can't choose whether to interpolate positions or angles: e.g. if interpolating between two (analog) clock faces showing 12:00 and 12:25, then should all the tween states have the same length minute hand (tracing an arc around the clock), or should the end-point of the hand trace a straight line, thus shortening the minute hand towards the centre?
:: (You may notice that angular interpolation is ambiguous in that there's a short and a long way, and two equal ways if the angle is 180 degrees. The same choice exists with SVG markers when choosing the "half way" angle. The resolution in each case is to take the shorter path, choosing arbitrarily in the 180 degree case. In the tweening case, the user can force the long route by specifying an in-between state.)
** Similarly, can't control colour interpolation. (SVG allows specifying colour interpolation for gradients & alpha compositing (http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/painting.html#ColorInterpolationProperties), though Inkscape doesn't currently implement this choice. Interpolating in HSV space would be useful for tweening -- not to mention animation and gradients.
* Tween states between a rectangle and an ellipse were unexpected: e.g. they aren't symmetrical (except 180-degree rotational symmetry), and aren't convex. I haven't looked into why; maybe just because the corresponding convert-to-path versions start & end in different places. If that is the only reason, then it can probably be fixed just by specializing the tweening for rectangle--ellipse pairs to use a different conversion to path than normal.
* I couldn't see how to "detach" the tween states (e.g. to edit them individually), other than by converting the whole lot to curves. (Do this with "Arrange->Ungroup", you have to ungroup them twice to get individual states).
* Limitation to dynamicness: one can't change the number of mid-states after creating them. (Presumably can easily be fixed given that the tween states can't be edited in skencil.)
* Similarly, one can't edit the proportion parameter of an individual tween state (like the stop proportion value in a gradient stop, a number from 0 to 1 indicating how similar to the begin or end state this tween state should be).

If implementing in Inkscape, then note that SVG[[/SMIL]] animation involves a similar operation to tweening.

=== Ellipses[[/Arcs]]: node editing ===

Like Inkscape, Skencil uses one tool for circles, ellipses and arcs.
It uses the opposite convention for whether to show radial spokes (pacman, pie slice) or whether to show just the arc (with chord filling if filled): if the node tool is dragged outside of the corresponding ellipse, then it's a chord/pure arc in Skencil, whereas inside means pie slice / pacman.

For unfilled shapes, I think Skencil's choice is better (partly because pure arcs are more common than pie slices when unfilled, so it's good to assign it the alternative that gives more control.

For filled shapes, the argument of more-common-deserves-outside goes in Inkscape's favour.

When editing the placement of the radial spokes, it's slightly more intuitive putting the mouse inside the ellipse; though this is a minor argument.

=== Scriptability ===

Can we use Inkscape plugins to access any sketch features? Its web page says "many parts of Skencil can be used as a library (and are used by Skencil that way)".

Skencil has acquired a lot of useful functionality through its programmability, e.g.
http://www.nongnu.org/skencil/addon.html

=== Areas where Inkscape is better to use than Skencil ===

* Better support for patterns.
* Better SVG support, as one would expect. (SVG is a foreign format for Skencil.)
* Skencil stable version 0.6.x uses tk interface. (Development version 0.7.x uses gtk.)
* Kerning (including vertical kerning, useful with/instead of text-on-path).
* Text-in-shape (textFlow); though this still has some rough edges.
* Clones (dynamically-updated copies)
* Calligraphy pen (including pressure/tilt sensitivity on Un*x platforms starting from 0.43).

The development version of skencil (0.7) allows transparency, whereas the stable 0.6.x version does not.

Some things become available to skencil through external scripts:
* Boolean operations (combining & breaking apart shapes) are available to skencil through the [[PathUtil]] script by Tamito Kajiyama.
* Weird shapes (like inkscape's star & spiral — and no doubt some things absent from inkscape) are in the [[AutoShapes]] script by Christof Ecker.

Moho is a 2D vector-based cartoon animation application,

: It uses technic near from skeletal stroke from S.C. Hsu, I.H.H. Less and H.E. Wiseman. Skeleton is defined as in 3d applications, the curves of the object are linked to parts of this skeleton and follow move/rotation/zoom. Path, can be stroked, with specific brushes, the size of the brush follow a curve, applied to the path, as in skeletal stroke.

: The 2d objects can be moved, in space, as 3d objects. There are some effects, like blur to simulate field depth, and parallax scrollings.

: 3d objects can be imported from 3d softwares in scenes, and used as background objects, or as part of 2d models to simulate 3d, keeping the style of 2d models.

This software is available on Linux, [[MacOSX]] and win32, there is free evaluation demo on site.

(Ben) I can't see the info corresponding to paragraphs 2-4 above on the Moho site. I would draw your atention to the [http://www.lostmarble.com/forum/index.php Moho forums] and point out that this program has a loyal and energetic user base.

Adobe Illustrator

Taken:

Please post links to screenshots and/or insights of this vector graphics application.
We must learn from strengths and mistakes of others.

Adobe Illustrator is one of the most commercially successful vector graphics applications among artists and graphic designers, with [[MacromediaFreehand]] as the main competitor and probably [[CorelDraw]] coming in a third place. (Adobe has since bought Macromedia and it will be interesting to see which Macromedia products will survive.) However, the relative strength of various vector editors depends on the market; for example in Russia and some other markets in Europe, [[CorelDraw]] is more common than Illustrator.

We can often learn more from [http://adventisti.lv/blog/?page_id=19 criticisms of Illustrator] than we can learn from praise, and a Corel Draw user by the name of Guntis make some interesting criticisms of Illustrator, especially the comments about how it fails even to be consistent even with Adobe Photoshop.

== Inkscape が 0.44 のリリースをアナウンス :: http://www.inkscape.org :: Draw Freely ==

Inkscape コミュニティは今日正式にベクトル・グラフィックス・ソフトウェアの最新バージョンをリリースしました。Inkscape 0.44 は多くの新しい機能を追加し、より高速でより使いやすく、より SVG をサポートし、多くの言語に訳され、多くの機能と改善を追加しています。

主な新機能にはレイヤダイアログやクリップとマスクのサポート、改善された透明度つきの PDF エクスポート、設定可能なキーボードショートカット、ノードツールの革新的な「ノード彫刻」機能、およびアウトラインモードが含まれます。特にスクリーン描画の性能とノードツールで著しい改善がされています。

注目すべきユーザインターフェースの変更にはドッキング可能な色見本や、ステータスバーのインタラクティヴなスタイルインジケータ、再設計された設定ダイアログ、テキストツールバー、および新しいアイコンが含まれます。私たちの SVG 準拠も一歩前進し <switch> 要素のサポートと画像の ICC 色プロファイルが追加されました。このリリースには数百の小さな機能やユーザビリティの改善およびバグ修正が含まれます。

いくつかのリリースにおいて、Inkscape と共に拡張効果のコレクションが出荷されましたが、それらにアクセスする Effects メニューは標準では無効になっていました。このリリースでは拡張効果はすべてのプラットホームで動作し、十分成熟したのでこのメニューが有効になっています。

私たちは Inkscape の開発努力に作業する 5 人の学生のためのスポンサーシップを提供する Google に感謝します。それらは SVG フィルタと Inkboard プロトコル、 cairo による PDF エクスポートおよびメモリ最適化です。
