Yes to workshop, no to presentation. I've written some python versions of 2D geometric algorithms, not many. They're very simple to enable a young person to understand the movement & sweep of the data in creating a shape, intersecting two shapes, etc. The data structures/objects used are very 'shallow' and uncomplicated. But I'd love to expand on this to complete a lib2geom-type package for those who have neither time nor background to untie the gordian knot of geometric mathematics. -susan <div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Feb 18, 2012 at 2:00 PM, <<a href="mailto:create-request@lists.freedesktop.org">create-request@lists.freedesktop.org</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> Send CREATE mailing list submissions to <a href="mailto:create@lists.freedesktop.org">create@lists.freedesktop.org</a> To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/create" target="_blank">http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/create</a> or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to <a href="mailto:create-request@lists.freedesktop.org">create-request@lists.freedesktop.org</a> You can reach the person managing the list at <a href="mailto:create-owner@lists.freedesktop.org">create-owner@lists.freedesktop.org</a> When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of CREATE digest..."

This would make it easier on the persons who wish to pass on their knowledge. With more knowledge about lib2geom the users of Inkscape, Scribus, Gimp, etc. become better contributors, and new programmers can pick up the work from those who wish to go on to other projects.

One of the great promises of lib2geom was IMHO its (still incomplete) Python bindings, since there's yet no vector manipulation library for Python. Along with the workshop, it would be super to set up a sprint of sorts to advance the Python bindings; I did a little bit of work on them some time ago, and would certainly be excited to help organise this effort -- and it would be fabulous to have someone with Boost-Python knowledge to shed some light on the necessary tasks. Inkscape extensions, for instance, would benefit immensely from the ability to manipulate paths and apply operations from a Python script. I could go on about the awesome things Py2geom would make possible :-) :r On 02/18/2012 10:29 AM, Igor Novikov wrote: > It would be great to have such workshop!
