Hey Sergey,

nice to hear that there is some progress on the JavaFX support. As I am
working on Windows I wonder if you have created some builds for Windows?
I would like to help you with testing as we also have started with
JavaFX programming at our institute.

Cheers,
 Adam

Hi Adam,

Not yet.  I'm working on improving of FXZ extension at the moment.

Could you provide the files and the changes to the other files as a
patch and/or DVCS branch somewhere?  That'd probably make it easier for
people to apply it and test.

Hi all,

Yes,  you can find the patch (inkscape_jfx_jfz.patch) in attachment.
In this patch
I am trying to support both Linux and Windows platforms.
Attachment contains ...
        inkscape_jfx_jfz.patch         <--- patch for inkscape
        config.h                              <--- config.h file for
libzip package for Windows platform
        libzip.def                             <--- definition file
for libzip library for Windows platform


LINUX.
Linux installation is easy if you have already all infrastructure
installed, i.e. you are
able to build SVN Checkout source of inkscape and you have libzip 0.9
(http://nih.at/libzip/) installed.

I would do this like ...

0. Go to the working directory.

1. svn co https://inkscape.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/inkscape/inkscape/trunk
inkscape
    Copy patch in attachment into working directory.

2. cd inkscape
    patch -p1 < ../inkscape_jfx_jfz.patch

3. ./autogen.sh

4. mkdir build; cd build
    LIBS=-lzip ../configure  --prefix=/opt/inkscape
    make
    su -c "make install"

5. /opt/inkscape/bin/inkscape          to start running new executable


WINDOWS.
I've used instructions from
http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Win32Port, i.e
I have mingw (4.2.1) and the last devlibs installed.   Additionally
I've installed MSYS
 trying to build libzip for Windows.  The configure script doesn't
work for me, so
I 've built libzip by hands under MSYS (may be this is not optimal way) :

1. Untar libzip-0.9.tar.bz2
    Copy config.h from attachment into libzip-0.9 directory.
    cd libzip-0.9/lib

2. gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DPIC -DDLL_EXPORT -I. -I..
-I/c/devlibs/include -g -O2 -c *.c

3. ar rcs libzip.a *.o

4. gcc -shared -o libzip.dll -Wl,--out-implib=libzip.dll.a
-Wl,--export-all-symbols \
    -Wl,--enable-auto-import -Wl,--whole-archive libzip.a \
    -Wl,--no-whole-archive -L/c/devlibs/lib -lz
5.  strip libzip.dll
6. Copy libzip.def from attachment into /c/devlibs/include
    Copy libzip.dll into  /c/devlibs/bin
    Copy libzip.dll.a into /c/devlibs/lib
7. Patching fresh checkout of inkscape like ..
    cd  /path/to/inkscape
    patch -p1 < /location/of/the/inkscape_jfx_jfz.patch

Then I've followed usual procedure for Windows: in 'Command Prompt' window:
mingwenv.bat
g++ -o btool.exe buildtool.cpp
btool
inkscape\inkscape.exe

That's it!

A few notes about patch:
  1. Windows support is very preliminary.  I made some dirty hacks
that should be rewritten, like
      the handling of the fonts ( this is my first experience with
Windows platform:)
  2. Due to bug (I believe) in JavaFX handling of linear gradient I
decided to "proportional: false" attribute
     setting at least until bug is fixed.
  3. Radial gradient handling is just a dirty hack! Any proposals?
  4. I did not check return codes in some places that is not good for
production version of inkscape
  5. May be the code should be cleaned.
  6. It is not possible to define (via some sort of configuration
panel) how you want to change of
     this plugin (for example, concerning font embedding into
archive).  Volunteers?


Good luck!

Sergey

Hi all,

any new progress on here? Or maybe any builds (I have a Mac now, so I
could test Mac, Windows and Linux)?

I noticed in the very first exporter that it does not create this fxd
packages but direct fx classes. Is there any difference except of the
different handling inside JavaFX?

Cheers,
 Adam

Hi,
    I guess this is a newbie question, I just installed the JavaFX
Production Suite (Windows XP), only to discover that it reads only .fxd or
.fxz files, not .fx.
    Needless to say, I was not impressed.
    So, not being a developer, how would I view a .fx file if I do not have
NetBeans installed?

Hi Alvin,

not at all. But this is not the idea of that. You, as a designer, create
a fxd file, and we, as developers, implement the logic in the
background. Why would you want to look at a fx file?

Cheers,
Adam

but, if I remember correctly, Inkscape is producing an .fx file, not .fxd.
So why would Inkscape produce a file that will not be viewable?
I am not at my normal machine, so I am just going by memory here.

luckily, my memory did not fail me entirely. I am attaching a .fx file
created by Inkscape. This file is not viewable on my Windows XP machine
because it is an unrecognized file type. If I rename it to be .fxd or .fxz
then the Java FX Production Suite attempts to load it but fails.

So my question remains, what do I need to do in order to view or use this
.fx file, assuming that I do not have NetBeans installed, but do have Java
SDK 6 update 11 installed?

Alternatively, how would I produce a .fxd file, given that Inkscape does not
do this?

Hi,

As I see nobody has tested the patch I 've sent before.  The patch was
getting obsolete because of developments
on the main trunk.   So I have prepared the new patch with some bug
fixes (image file handling, JavaFX 1.1 support).
The patch is in attachment.

About builds.   Yes, I've  made  recent builds (r20792) for Windows
and Linux: openSUSE 11.1 x86).  Have no idea how to upload
these builds for you, guys.   And I am not sure as well that this is a
correct way to distribute inkscape developments from
my side.  If you have proposals let me know.

First I've tried to keep "no difference" status, and now they are
"almost" the same.  The difference is:
FXZ archive may contain other graphic stuff, like bitmaps and fonts
that can be referenced by FXD
(SVG translated into JavaFX).   But I consider the idea to use FXZ
format (and "JavaFX Production Suite"
 infrastructure) more attractive.   It allows clean separation between
designer's and developer's work.

Hope I've answered your questions :)

Cheers,
Sergey

Hi Alvin,

You have used development version of Inkscape that contains javafx-out.cpp(h)
extension supporting so called "Preview version" of JavaFX which was
released by the end of July, 2008.
After that Sun produced 2 releases: JavaFX 1.0 (December 4th, 2008) and
JavaFX 1.1 (Febrary 12th(?), 2009).  In both realeases JavaFX language
evolved and
you can observe incompatibilities even on source level.
I've looked on your .fx file and see it was produced by "standard"
(current) version of Inkscape
and, therefore,  can be viewed only by compiling and running by JavaFX
Preview development
kit, like
    javafxc.exe circ4590_org.fx
    javafx circ4590_org
of course, if you have JavaFX Preview dev kit installed.

Java SDK 6 update 11 is not enough.
Check if you have JavaFX dev kit installed and do compiling yourself.
No special viewer
exists.

Let me explain you directly. The CURRENT dev version which is in svn repository
on mainline cannot produce fxz/fxd file.   It can produce .fxz file if
the patch I proposed
would be applied.   If you ask me when it will happen, the answer is:
I have no idea,....
may be never.  Here I cannot help.

Cheers,
Sergey

Sergey: I anyone knowing what JavaFX is will test your patch and say
it is OK, I will commit it and, if you wish, give you commit rights so
you can continue working on it.

Inkscape. Draw Freely.

sounds good to me...
sorry to be so picky about this, but it bothers me to see things that are in
an 'undefined' or 'indeterminate' state.
