I just did it. * A new effect, Replace color in the Color submenu, simply replaces one RRGGBB-specified color to another within selection or, if there's no selection, in the entire document. As with other effects in that submenu, the replacement affects fill, stroke, and gradient colors, but not colors of bitmaps. > 2. can either systematiccally cycle/iterate through the specified > colors, or assing them randomly, creating a series of output SVG files, > all with different color-schemes. Anyone can easily do this using the same extension base class, patches are welcome :) -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

OK, I figured this out. By default poppler does not install all the headers. To force 0.59 to install its headers over the old ones, configure it thus: ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-xpdf-headers On 7/12/07, Miklós Erdélyi <erdelyim@...400...> wrote: > On 7/12/07, bulia byak <buliabyak@...400...> wrote: > > It does not compile for me.

3d buttons with Inkscape
by Florian Köberle 15 Jul '07

15 Jul '07

The filter inkscape developers have done nice work. With the current SVN version it is possible to make a shape looking like a button (see attachments). I noticed several things by testing it: - Adding a feOffset let Inkscape crash - There is no GUI, for setting the attribute in2 of feComposite to SourceGraphic if you don't count the XML editor. - The Grahpic looks similar but not equal on Firefox 3.0a6. The Graphic produced by Inkscape graphic is darker. The question is: Is it a bug in Firefox or Inkscape? Opera 9.20 display the Grahpic without the filter effect.

Hi, Am I the only one to experience rendering regression when using screen blend mode in one object over gaussian blur in another? http://prokoudine.info/shots/inkscape/046-blend-screen-regression.png Alexandre

cancelling an extension won't work
by Alexandre Prokoudine 15 Jul '07

15 Jul '07

Hi, When you call a dialog of the last used extension, change or don't change settings and click "Cancel", extension still runs and produces output. Reproducible at least with Spirograph, Gear, L-Systems, Graph Plotter. By the way, do we want to bind some keyboard shortcut to "Previous Effect Settings..."? Alexandre

(I meant "bump" as in "bump up this post in case it was forgotten" :) ). How much work do you think it'll be to make poppler buildable on windows? Bulia's mail about the import success make me very curious! Cheers, Johan

Yes. So the input dialog appearing when opening a PDF document should have the options for selecting whether you want text as path or as text (with embedded fonts/without them) and the possibility to select the page you want to import (with preview). This dialog will be present as soon as it will make sense :) (ie., when we'll have these options actually implemented) miklos

unset stroke, clone and stroke width
by jiho 13 Jul '07

13 Jul '07

Hello all, I remarked a behavior that I find counter intuitive when dealing with clones. It also seems to me like it is just a bug in Inkscape's UI and that the underlying SVG rendering is correct. When cloning an object, the properties of the clones (color, opacity etc.) can be edited only if they are "unset" in the original object. Therefore, I expect that when I unset stroke on the original object I should be able to edit all aspects of the stroke of its clone(s). While this is true for color, this is not true for stroke width, line cap style, opacity and all other properties. However if I manually edit the original objects properties and remove its stroke width, line cap, opacity etc. attributes, it is possible to change them in the clone and Inkscape displays it fine (apart from markers that are not retained). I have done a file in which the behavior is showed for all attributes I could think of: http://jo.irisson.free.fr/dropbox/inkscape/test_unset_stroke.svg So I think that when unsetting stroke, all stroke attributes should be removed, not only color. Would this be conceivable? PS: in addition, while unsetting fill makes it appear black, unsetting stroke makes it disappear. Is it intended? JiHO --- http://jo.irisson.free.fr/
