[Lib2geom-devel] 2geom + inkscape!

[<J.B...@ew...>]

Hello all,

I just subscribed to this list. Some of you might already know me; I am =
a developer for Inkscape and currently working on what we call =
live-path-effects (for GSoC'07). A lot of effects will rely heavily on =
math, and 2geom will be very very handy =3D)

Although I was not able to build 2geom on my Windows, Aaron Spike gave =
me a distribution build that I was able to link in with Inkscape: it is =
now possible to use 2geom from Inkscape code! (please know that I did =
not test things on Linux..., I also just tested briefly so I am not =
confident that 'all' works. It did seem a bit 'too easy' to link the two =
together.)

I found some functions that read path data from a file (I think in SVG =
format?), but not from a string. This makes interfacing with Inkscape =
troublesome. Therefore, could you please add a function that converts an =
Inkscape-datatype to 2geom? I.e. from Glib::ustring with an SVG path =
string to Geom::Path ?

Thanks a lot!
Johan


(btw, as I do most of my devel on windows without gaim, i can't join the =
2geom jabber channel. maybe you can use inkscape's ^- bot as a bridge =
between an irc channel?)
