From sktools at zu.org.ru Tue Apr 17 21:35:53 2007 From: sktools at zu.org.ru (Stanislaw Skuratov) Date: Wed, 18 Apr 2007 00:35:53 +0500 Subject: [Skencil-users] A little set of plugins and utilities for skencil : sktools Message-ID: <47beef6d0704171235y1f6906b3k98fe6cf67c547aa4@mail.gmail.com> Hi! Some time ago I wrote a set of utilities/scripts for our favorite :) skencil vector editor. Here it is: http://sktools.zu.org.ru/ . I called that package a sktools :) that is not very original but self describing :) I use it some time now(very long time actually :) ), to solve my problems and sktools "just work for me"(tm):). Some "know bugs " there remains, but actually not prevent me(or probably anyone to use it) So, the main idea: 1st group * script to save/load a layers state, visibility/printability (enabled/disabled) in file in very stupid format (by names, delimiter separated) * a utility that create a new file with a layers that not set/or set in cfg file(created by previous script) * script, that create a special object that works like a link to file - i.e insertion that's updates by script. The object called InsObj :) * script that updates InsObj * script that updates all InsObj in file 2st group(misc utils) * scripts that do stupid actions such as "Set all layers visible/printable/unvisible/..." Sorry if that feature already exited :) * the utility that update/sync a colors in styles in one file using another. I.e if you change color of the flower in one file, and have other files with same style names you can update colors in all files by running script that load new colors from the file you edit. I.e if you change a flower color defined by style from green to blue in one file, you can load others and easily update them. * script that makes all bezies in all selected object lines The purpose most of this is a creation of combined picture(s) that use a many inserted pictures, and not only a full insertion but a part of the original defined by layers. For regeneration of a temporary files i use makefile - so when after drawing in source picture i run make , i can get a new patches of a source picture into the combine picture simply calling script from menu. Example - i draw a picture of a girl with some test lines, experimental outfits, etc. Now i can save only a naked girl :) ,and then, include the one girl picture in many other pictures where i draw outfits and backgrounds. And when i change the original picture after some simple actions all changes go into the combined file. Or it can be used to created a game graphics, for example for creation a images that differs but have many in common, using one sk file. Install it like other scripts and plugins - the example userhooks.py provided. There two archives, obe with scripts and plugins, other with utilities. What you think ? Do you need it ? If you want use it i can write some docs, a better www page and write some additional functionality. But if it actually not needed, no problem. That scripts worked and work fine for me, not to mention to save a loads of my time :) I definitely save a LOT more time from using it , then spend a time to write it. So, again what you think ? I try to answer questions,and do support if anyone want to try this.

Here it is: > http://sktools.zu.org.ru/ . I've switched to another distro (Ubuntu > Kubuntu) since trying skencil, so I just tried to install it to check out the tools. I installed 0.6.17-7build1, but when I ran it, I got a seg fault. Not very informative, I understand. Then I tried to install 0.6.17-7 and got this: dpkg - warning: downgrading skencil from 0.6.17-7build1 to 0.6.17-7. (Reading database ... 180262 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace skencil 0.6.17-7build1 (using skencil_0.6.17-7_i386.deb) ... Unpacking replacement skencil ... dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of skencil: skencil depends on python (<< 2.5); however: Version of python on system is 2.5.1~rc1-0ubuntu3. dpkg: error processing skencil (--install): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing: skencil But now skencil runs!

In several of my passtimes, I've encountered a need for knowing the length of a 'line' on a drawing. Not just a straight line, which would be relatively simple to do, but also the length of beziers and similar curves. Here are a few applications: - Drawing a path on a map, and wanting to know the distance. - Drawing patterns on sheet metal or plywood, and wanting to know if the parts will be combinable afterwards. - Pattern drawing (same problem as previous, though normally even more complicated forms). I haven't really seen any drawing program that has this feature, but it would be really helpful! Suggestions?

Suggestions? It should be relatively easy to add this function to Skencil. Length would be relativ to the page size, but this would be fine I guess. You could open a feature request on Skencil's wald project. -- Managing Director - Owner: www.intevation.net (Free Software Company) Germany Coordinator: fsfeurope.org.
