Quite a while ago, we submitted a request for the following:

It would be nice to create hairline, single pixel line, or 0.001 to 0.004 inch thickness line while designing. The Windows GDI would consider this to be a vector line. It could be quite useful to use it in creating designs for processing by CNC as well as Laser machines for cutting.

Was this ever implemented?

If not, do you plan to implement it?

Your feedback will be most useful.

Thanks and regards.

Hi Ivan,

>De?: Ivan Louette <ivan_louette@...48...>
>Very sorry for my distraction : I forgot that it's on Kubuntu 11.10 !!! (reproduced on two different sytems : my desktop where I only upgraded and my new netbook Eee PC 1215P where I installed 11.10 for the first time.


I can't reproduce the issue on Ubuntu 11.04 with Inkscape 10685 and Ubuntu 11.10 (upgraded from 11.04) with Inkscape 10680. In both cases, the primitive lines move as expected.
It wouldn't be surprising if it were related to the gtk2 removal in 11.10. Could you please list the gtk2 packages installed on your computer (with dpkg -l | grep gtk2)? Not sure it uses the same gtk code, but do you noticed drag&drop issues with the XML editor?


Regards,

Hi,

I have one problem related to coordinates. i want to save d attributes in mm
unit. for that with the help of google . i have changed default unit "mm" in
Document Properties Option. After that i am going to draw 50x50 mm rectangle
for that i need to change mm from px in "control tool bar " . now i got
attributes like

 d="M 222.47117,285.53205 L 398.65476,285.53205 L 398.65476,461.71565 L
222.47117,461.71565 L 222.47117,285.53205 L 222.47117,285.53205 L
222.47117,285.53205 z"

But when i changed mm to px then also got same attributes

d="M 222.47117,285.53205 L 398.65476,285.53205 L 398.65476,461.71565 L
222.47117,461.71565 L 222.47117,285.53205 L 222.47117,285.53205 L
222.47117,285.53205 z"

How to distinguish between mm and px .

i am really stuck in this

Let me know solution...!!!

This question (as well as several others related to custom modifications
of Inkscape) has been asked in the 'Answers' section of Launchpad, where
I lately had added these comments:

> The SVG specification does not allow units to be used in the 'd' attribute of path definitions.
>
> The coordinates in the path data 'd' attribute can only be specified in SVG user units:
> <http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/paths.html#PathDataBNF>

and

> Inkscape itself converts between SVG user units (px, 90dpi) and the document-specific units displayed in the GUI. The values stored in the SVG source have to conform to the SVG specification.
>
> For details which parts of the code base handle this units conversion, please ask on the developers' mailing list.


@all - please clarify in case this summary is not correct.

Based on the earlier questions [1] I assumed that this question is also
related to adding some custom features (including a tool to automate
some tasks) to Inkscape and recommended to ask for advice here on the
mailing list.

It's partly correct, the SVG specification indeed does not allow mm's to
be used in the d attribute. However, by setting both the width and
height, as well as the viewBox attribute on the <svg> tag you can
essentially create a coordinate system that coincides with (real) mm's.

Note that if you do this (use width/height + viewBox) you should most
definitely NOT use mm's in your document itself, just use pixels. This
is because mm in the SVG specification is simply defined as a multiple
of px (so if px in your document corresponds to mm in the "real world",
then mm in your document no longer corresponds to mm in the real world).

We have now repeated reports of login failure for the wiki:
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.graphics.inkscape.user/14347>
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/880934>
and while my login test earlier today worked, now it fails for me too.

At the same time spam keeps coming in (including the creation of new
accounts for that):
<http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&days=30&limit=500>

Who does have admin privileges for the wiki and would be willing to look
into this recent login problem?

Addressing the spam issue would be of high priority too (IMHO):
