Now, just for the record and Google too: To have the "Whiteboard" menu appear after compiling inkscape with the --enable-inkboard option you should first delete your menus.xml file (in ~/.inkscape/menus.xml) Thanks again...

Hoe to use the inkboard
by Lucas Vieites 02 Nov '05

02 Nov '05

Hi, I've compiled from cvs enabling inkboard (with the --enable-inkboard parameter at configure time) but now I can't figure out how to use it. Is there supposed to be a new menu or menu item to connecto to a Jabber server?

I'm usually against wasted space, but I think this image block gives the page a little peace and quite. The reader isn't immediately confronted by thick blocks of text. The flag draws together the colors. It could be any object. But the flag is a simple, clean vector. And displaying the magnified version in the background shows resolution independence without adding a lot of noise. Aaron Spike

sepA/Erator

Everyone has a pet peeve. Mine is spelling errors, especially those that people make ALL THE TIME. Among these, "seperate" instead of "separate" is definitely in the top three. And now I see it again, and where? Right in the Inkscape code! Ted, can you please replace the <seperator> element in your menu XML with a correctly spelled version? (After the release, that is.) Thanks! -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

Path stroke position...
by Iuriatan Muniz 01 Nov '05

01 Nov '05

Hello guys... I'm new in the subject so please forgive any stupid thing I might say and, if possible, intruct me towards the path of glory !!! heheh =) I was thinking about the path stroke. Like when you draw an arc or sth... It would be nice if the stroke could be localized inside, centralized or outside the fill, like for applying alpha gradients on the stroke to get a (inner or outter) shadow effect... Of course it can be done describing 2 paths in the SVG file (I don't know if it is more like a technique or a feat we could implement), but isn't there a simpler way to do that under SVG specs ??? like a stroke parameter to set (it'd mean almost no overhead for who processes it) ??? Is it possible to suggest it for the 1.2 (or greater) comming W3C's specifications ??? Thats it... Thank you, Iuri
