[Scribus] Open Clip Art extension

[unknown]

Hi,

I just created a clip art browser in a dockwindow. It accesses the clip art
library from openclipart.org. So it is not necessary to have all files on the
harddisk.

Unfortunately I didn't find a way to import a SVG-file with Scripter.
LoadImage() does not seem to support SVGs. Is there any other way to make it
working??

Cool. _extremely_ cool, in fact. Wow. Any chance we'll be able to put
that up on the website or include it in the samples later?

That's not currently supported, but I'd like get it working at some
point. It's going to be somewhat tricky, because SVG import is a plugin
that's loaded dynamically at runtime, so one can't rely on some (eg)
'svgLoadImage' function to be present.

It doesn't work through loadImage() because the vector import plugins do
their own thing independent of raster image frames and the image format
code.

Petr got EPS export working from scripter in 1.3, which I think is very
cool, so it can evidently be done. I'm going to try to find a way to
provide a generic import interface for the scripter, though, so there's
no need to hand code functions for each importer.

And speaking of this, aside from the desirability of being able to script SVG's into Scribus, I think it would be nice to be able to resize/scale SVG's inside of Scribus much in the way that you can with image frames. I realize that what's going on under the hood/bonnet might be quite different, but the user interface could be more similar.

Truly awesome. This was on the plans for 1.3. Is this something you would like
to have us include within Scribus itself (possibly with some mods... dont
know yet)?

SVGs, as Craig Ringer has said, use the SVG import plugin and dont use Load
Image.

A similar tool for accessing http://openphoto.net/ would complement
this well.

And I think the reverse is also important, for publishing to the
libraries, which I filed on InkScape's feature request a while back -
http://xrl.us/e5mc (Link to sourceforge.net)

This and import filters are *amazing* :)

Currently, I am working on a reference manual for symbols and
footprints for gschem and PCB (Part of the gEDA tool set). The
manual is graphics intensive and something like this would make
the job a lot easier. Although, if it only points to openclipart.org,
I'd have to modify it to point to the svg files on my hard drive
which should not be to hard.
