Week 5

Introduction

I am Khushal Agrawal (skippr), a Google Summer Of Code contributor and developer at Inkscape. This blog summarises my progress during the fifth week of Google Summer Of Code 2024.

This week's activity

This week was mostly spent on trying to implement feature 2. I am happy to say that the progress made so far has been great. You can see the current progress in the GIF here. If currently not creating a new point, I can press and hold ALT key to enter Node-Mode where I can change the position of previous nodes, currently I have been able to allow hovering over previous anchors to test their position and change it with mouse drag. I need to study Bezier Curves and the Lib2Geom library to understand the ideal way to manipulate the path in between.

Other than the above feature, I also made the required changes in the PenTool MR.

Next week's activity

Next week I plan to complete the feature I am currently working on and also complete the Node Tool Rework MR. After that, I plan to make the changes recommended during the code review of these MR. After this the only feature left to implement in my GSOC proposal is here. I also intend on working on this MR.
