Brevets Logiciels ?

A logo for LoLiWin

I found an entry on linuxfr explaining LoLiCA needs a logo for its LoLiWin project.

I had no times on my hands, but it's so quickly made with inkscape, that I could not refuse some help. Here are the results:

and the mandatory source SVG.

Why make it simple, when you can do it complex ?

Could you guess that these two designs are equivalent ?

Original design :

Reworked design:

Both are an implementation of the Simulink Backlash

If you find a better one than mine (The mean block with zero is here on purpose, as the division by two is implemented with a bitshift.), or a worst one than the original, feel free to show me your code drawings!

A quick and dirty script to export SVGs to PNGs using Windows + cygwin

It took me some times to figure out how to handle the filenames. The secret is cygpath, which transforms cygwin filenames to windows (-w option) filenames

#!/bin/bash
DIR=$(cygpath -w $(pwd))
DEST=$DIR/png_$1
mkdir $DEST
INKSCAPE="C:/Documents and Settings/monnier/Desktop/labo/LATEST/inkscape/inkscape.exe"
for i in $(ls *.svg) 
do
	"$INKSCAPE" $DIR/$i -e ${DEST}/${i}_${1}.png -w $1
done

Inkscape's new calligraphy tool

I already used the inscape calligraphy tool to draw shadows. Now it can be used for its original purpose!

This has been acheived by Bulia, and is very nice. Would be even better without the disgracious spikes.

Preparing the TreeGarden for the next season

Update: Left toolbar done. I'm cold just looking at it.

Inkscape 0.4 needs you!

The inkscape team is releasing a new version. While this version does not met the initial objectives (ie complete gtkmmification), but the new features (like put text on path, layers, etc.) deserve a new version.

Bug Hunt for Inkscape 0.40 Release

Oct 29, 2004 - Since the announcement to begin the release process, bug fixers have closed an impressive number of bugs: 7 high priority, 11 medium priority, and 10 low priority. This work brings us to a total of 159 points, attaining our bug-fix goal. :-) There's some additional work to be done in completing the implementation of the layers feature, but hopefully we can achieve most of that within a week or so.

Meantime, WE NEED YOUR HELP! Right now, please download one of the pre-release snapshots from the download page and play with it. Look for any bugs, performance issues, installation problems, and especially crashes, and report them to us. Continue this as you have time in the days leading up to the release; the more you review, the better Inkscape 0.40 will be.

(We also plan to produce one or two pre-release statically compiled packages, so folks that have trouble installing the snapshots may have better luck with these instead.)
