We really need to push the prereleases on the downloads page too.

That is: you have a complex combined path or a group of object, say, a picture of a bird. You want its wings to be longer. So you mask body and start dragging handles of a group selection onto the outside with Shift pressed.

This has been used for a long time - see all those Affect buttons for rounded corners, stroke width, etc. All they are different aspects of "context sensitivity" for transformations. -- bulia byak Inkscape.

There is a researcher in Israel that has done a lot of work on this, specifically in dealing with fonts. The idea being to have Asian fonts that don't have as many size scale better. The results were impressive. It looks like most of the techniques that he's using could be applied to vector graphics, but the thing that he doesn't take into account at all is color. Which I think adds another dimension to the issue. I don't remember the name of the guy off hand, but it's the same guy that did the research behind what eventually became the Liquid Rescale plugin in GIMP. I exchanged some e-mails with him, but I think I was unable to convince him to put a grad student or two on the vector graphics problem. I need some grad students :) --Ted ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Inkscape-devel mailing list Inkscape-devel@... https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/inkscape-devel signature.asc (204 bytes) Download Attachment
	Re: for those concerned... :) by SorinN :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message If I remember well Adobe just employed this guy for Photoshop and he put liquid rescale in CS4 - I read some articles about that, so I think it will be imposibble from now to convince him on any aspect ;) ... but talking about rescale ( for groups or of individual objects ) - can we get something that in Corel Draw is named Add Perpective ? or some direct tool equivalent with Envelope. All those tools in Corel (there I have a long experience that's why I use word "Corel") do a magnificent job transforming vectors in relation with escape points or in relation with curves/guides of the envelope model. Also they don't need to transform text in paths to apply such an effect - envelope or perspective. In Inkscape 3D tool - I see rectangles are modified using multiple escape points - but transformation is linear and applied just for linear segments. 2009/7/2 Ted Gould <ted@...>: > On Wed, 2009-07-01 at 12:45 -0300, bulia byak wrote: >> On Wed, Jul 1, 2009 at 12:33 PM, Alexandre >> Prokoudine<alexandre.prokoudine@...> wrote: >> > One thing that is preying on my mind for a while is whether context >> > aware scaling could actually work for vector graphics. >> >> This has been used for a long time - see all those Affect buttons for >> rounded corners, stroke width, etc. All they are different aspects of >> "context sensitivity" for transformations. > > There is a researcher in Israel that has done a lot of work on this, > specifically in dealing with fonts.
