unexpected scaling behavior 0.91 - bug?
by Brynn 09 Aug '15

09 Aug '15

Hi Friends, I'm trying to help someone at IF (http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=19208) and came across some unexpected, and new behavior in 0.91. I've never seen this before. Steps to reproduce: -- in a new blank doc, draw a Star with 6 corners, spoke ration 0.5, rounded 0.3, randomize 0.09 -- add fill, remove stroke -- engage the scale in proportion option (lock the lock icon on the Selection control bar) -- change the W value -- Enter (or click in another field or on the canvas) -- W value changes to something different than what you entered I haven't been able to observe this when the lock icon is unlocked (scaling not in proportion). Also, while testing in the same doc, this behavior eventually stops. But in 4 new blank docs, with that kind of Star shape, this behavior has been consistent. Attached is a file that is showing the behavior for the star shapes only. Although without know what's causing it may or may not happen for anyone else. This is 0.91, 32-bit, exe installer, Win7, 64-bit. I thought it might be somehow related to the randomize setting, but after creating some new and different kinds of objects, and testing them, when I come back to the original star, the scaling behaves as expected. So it's clearly an inconsistent issue, and so far, I haven't discovered what's triggering it to start or stop. To test if it might be related to transform attribute (related to my custom default doc) I've tried in new layers. But the problem persists in the new layers. Thanks for your help :-) All best, brynn

how to create new filters
by Brynn 04 Aug '15

04 Aug '15

Hi Friends, For a long time I've been trying to learn how to create new Inkscape filters. I mean starting from scratch, not just building on existing filters. I've been able to do some very simple things, but my efforts usually devolve into one at a time, trying every option available. By sheer chance, I sometimes end up with something that might be useful. It would be so very helpful if someone could write a guide, which explains the basic concepts. I think I've finally managed to work out how the Filters Editor works. But I'm missing the basic concepts which would help me make decisions about 'what to do next'. I have contacted people who I know have created filters, who know how to do it, but without success in finding the info needed. And I thought about adding this to the Community To-Do List page. It's a lot like the need for a guide to writing extensions, I guess. But for some reason, it seems to me like more of a request for a tutorial, and that's not exactly what that page is for (I don't think). Although if it seems to the website team like it's appropriate, I can see to adding it there. But otherwise, I thought I'd just make a request to the user community. Can anyone either volunteer to write such a tutorial? Or otherwise point me (and everyone) to some resources for learning how? Thank you very much :-) brynn

Combining text converts to path
by Brynn 29 Jul '15

29 Jul '15

Hi Friends, I just stumbled on this and find it surprising. I just want to make sure there's not some reason for this, before I at least consider reporting it (one way or another). If you combine 2 text objects (Path menu > Combine) they become paths! I realize that Combine is a command(?) for paths. (Or at least it's supposed to work on paths, if "command" isn't the correct word.) When I tried it, out of curiosity, I expected to get an error message in the status bar that one or both objects is not a path. So I was surprised that the text was converted to paths. Actually I was hoping it might combine 2 or more text objects into 1 text object. Yes, I know the proper way to do it is cut/paste. But that can be tedious, and I was hoping combine might just do that quickly. (And yes, I thought about grouping, but I didn't want a group. I wanted a text object. Hhmm, after further testing, this must be intentional, because combining 2 or more shapes converts them to path as well. Wow, and using combine on just 1 shape object converts it to a path too. Let's see....yes, using combine on a Group of shapes converts them to a single compound path! I can see where this can be convenient, especially it saves a couple of steps for a group -- if one knows about it. But is it really appropriate? Hhmm, well this is inconsistent then. When combine is used on a group of 2 text objects, it's changed to a compound path, but it's still ID'd as a group of 2. Shouldn't it throw an error in these situations, rather than convert to path? And for the group of text, the "Group of 2" seems incorrect....assuming this whole 'combine converts to path' is intentional in the first place. Thanks for any comments, brynn

Problem with snapping
by Pierre Massat 27 Jul '15

27 Jul '15

Dear all, I am new to Inkscape, and I'm very much in the discovery phase. I'm trying to understand how snapping works (I am aware of the snap controls bar, of the snap tab in the preferences, and of the snap tab in the document's properties). It seems to work all right when creating a new object. However no snapping happens when moving an existing object. This behavior is very counter-intuitive to me. In GIMP for instance when snapping is enabled it works when moving objects too. Is this the normal behavior ? If yes, how can I do precision work when copy-pasting objects (I need to draw a timeline, with 120 rectangles, one for each month for 10 years) ? Thank you very much in advance for your help. Pierre.

0.91 display issue
by Brynn 08 Jul '15

08 Jul '15

Hi Friends, I'm using 0.91 and this is in the 32-bit (exe installer) version, on Windows 7, sp1, 64-bit. This problem does Not appear in the 64-bit version. And I haven't seen it in any other image. I'm not sure what it is about this image, that might be causing this. Attached are 2 screenshots of the display issue, as well as the SVG file. In the past, when I see this sort of problem, it's related to a large file size, and can be fixed (temporarily) by scrolling the affected part of the image off the screen, and scrolling back. But this is (a) not a large file, and actually quite small, and (b) not affected by scrolling. It is affected by zooming though. The screenshot was made at 847% zoom. As I zoom in or out, those lines move to different places, and more or fewer lines appear, as the zoom changes. But the only way to get rid of the lines is to zoom 200% or below, and I just can't see the image well enough to work on, at that size. So I can't figure out how to keep working on this image. If this is a bug, it's probably already been reported (or at least known). But if not, let me know and I will report it. Mostly I'm posting to find out if anyone knows what's causing this, and how I can get rid of the lines. They make it hard to work in the area of the artifacts, because the artifacts don't move....or rather they do move. If I move the object, the artifacts move right along with it. I suppose I could change the zoom by ten percent at a time, to try to force the artifacts into a different area. But I'm hoping for better solution. I thought it might be some corruption of the file, since I have not seen this problem in any other image, that I've worked on in 0.91. But I pasted the drawing into a new blank file, and still see the artifacts (that's inks-display-issue2.png). Hhmmm....there is an imported raster image in a hidden and locked layer, which I switched to Optimize Speed display, so I could see the pixels. Maybe somehow related to that....except that I've done that in other, much larger files (where I've zoomed much higher), and didn't see these artifacts. Thanks for any info or tips to fix it :-) All best, brynn

vector-effect: non-scaling stroke
by m .h. van der velde 06 Jul '15

06 Jul '15

Hi all, I’m playing with SVG content generated outside Inkscape that uses the ViewBox property. I’m experiencing two problems there, can somebody maybe help me with that? 1) It seems like inscape ignores the ‘non-scaling stoke’ vector effect. My view box is 30 x 60 (no units) large, the stroke width is 1px. But is seems like Inscape interprets it as 1 view box unit - and draws the stroke way to thick. 2) The same seems to apply to text. The font size seems to be interpreted as view box units, no matter what unit I define for the font-size (pt, mm, px) Also, the interpretation of the font size seems to differ between browsers and operating systems! Sometimes rendering the font way to large and sometimes way to big. And, related to 1) and 2), I noticed when saving a SVG from Inkscape, that Inkscape doesn’t define any unit but the SVG’s work fine and accurate. Even if I define a box to be 100mm x 100mm. Is there a ‘conversion’ between mm and ‘units’ going on somewhere. Is there a convention how units in SVG correlate to ‘real world’ dimensions such as mm or inches? Thanks for your help! Maarten (Btw, I would love to mention the website that generates these SVG's, but I do not know if it’s appropiate to do so?)

Creating flow diagrams with Inkscape
by W. Martin Borgert 04 Jul '15

04 Jul '15

Hi, in the past, I created flow diagrams (e.g. https://xkcd.com/627/) using Dia. While Dia is a marvellous program for such kind of diagrams, it is quite limited in its design and layout capabilities. Now I'm looking into Inkscape, but I encountered some problems: I draw a create a rectangle and place a text object inside and align the text object horizontally and vertically with the square: +‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾+ | Ask someone | | for help | +_____________+ Later on, I change the text: +-------------+ | Ask someone | | for help | | or give up. | +-------------+ Unfortunately, now I have to re-align again. Is there any way to do this automatically like in Dia? Also, I would like to adjust the height of the box accordingly. If this is not possible out of the box, but would it be possible to write a Python script/plugin to do it? Can Inkscape run a plugin automatically e.g. on every text change? TIA & Cheers

Pen, Pencil behavior w/shape option
by Brynn 16 Jun '15

16 Jun '15

Hi Friends, I've come across some surprising behavior and I'm not sure if it's intended or not. ("surprising" to me, in my permanent learning mode :-D) When the Shape option is Triangle In or Out, on the Pen/Bezier control bar (Pencil/Freehand tool too) and the mode is set to anything except Spiro Spline, the path automatically has the Power Stroke LPE applied to it. It used to be Pattern Along Path. And when the Shape is set to Ellipse or From Clipboard, it still is PAP. Is this intended? If so, I wonder if "Shape" as the title for that dropdown list should be "Path Effects" or something to indicate that it's much more than just a "shape" that you're about to draw? Thanks for clarification or comments. (I'm on Windows 7, sp1, 64-bit, Inkscape 0.91, 32-bit (exe).) :-) All best, brynn

Quick Editor Needed
by Martin Owens 10 Jun '15

Dear Users, The inkscape website has a news article ready to go live about the hackfest that was developed by Brynn. She's currently taking a break from inkscape web work, but the article is almost finished so I need to ask for a user to step up and help get it over the line. It may just be as simple as reading the text and being happy with what has been written and getting it on the website. But the important part is that it's a user and not a developer. Because we'd like news to be user centric; for and by users and all that. If you're interested in helping out, please email here [on list] and I'll send you the last draft copy. Thanks for helping.

Newbie - walk cycle

I'm attempting for the first time to animate a walk cycle in Inkscape and I need some general advice on how to go about it. Is Inkscape the best free program to use for 2d animation, or should I use gimp? And after that is decided, how should I approach this task? And more specifically, how do I keep the leg a uniform thickness when changing its position?

If you'd like to help inkscape in a small way, we require a piece of news to be written/edited for the recent hackfest. It's an exciting event where inkscape developers got together to talk about the future of inkscape.

"Assertion Failed" error msg (serious?)
by Brynn 24 May '15

24 May '15

Hi Friends, I had an error message I haven't seen before, while working with Inkscape, and it seemed to be fairly serious. It did not technically crash, but it effectively crashed not just Inkscape, but I had to restart my computer! I wonder if I should make a bug report for it? The reason I wonder, instead of just making a new report, is that I don't have a file to offer. I did manage to grab a screenshot though, which is attached. So you can at least see the error message. Otherwise all I have is my verbal explanation. Briefly, after the error msg, anything and everything on my screen was sort of frozen in place. For example, when I moved the error msg over, to be able to save and close windows, it sort of just smeared what looked like 15 or 20 copies of the error message across the screen (just like if you spread out a deck of cards across a table). If I maximized a window from the taskbar, it became frozen there. Even after I closed it, it was still there. And somehow, the font menu remained on top of everything (I was using the Text tool at the time of the error message). I managed to close everything out from the taskbar, and restart, and now I'm back to normal. There are a lot of details I've left out, because I know a lot of people don't like to read long messages on the mailing list. But I'll be glad to write out all the details, if anyone is interested and can use the info. Or let me know if you want me to write a bug report. Window 7, sp1, 64-bit, Inkscape 0.91, 32-bit (EXE installer) Thanks, brynn

Thank you Gian, that looks like the right font and have nowinstalled it on my computer. I have now created a new file with just the yearand need to figure out a way to create a white background and just stick it on topof the old year. Or maybe just a white square to cover up the year. I amgetting too old to relearn how to use inkscape...... lol. Thanks to you too Maren, I followed your instructions and gotto the point where it says remove the bitmat image but could see only one layer so guess somethingwent wrong. I really only want to removethe year and keep the rest as it is. I did create it originally in inkscape a few years ago,drawing and all......... if only I could remember how I did it, I would be veryhappy. I really appreciate you all trying to help, Joanne

I have not used inkscape for a while and was self taught. It is a long learning curve which will be even harder now on my laptop with no mouse. I have a file created years back and need to add one number to it to make it 2015. I can't for the life of me remember which font I used and how to add the 5 in the right size and right angle. Could someone help please ? I would also like to remove the date completely but don't think that is possible, or is it ? am attaching the file if someone can help I would appreciate. cheers,Joanne

Exported images' colors won't match colors displayed in Inkscape
by Juha Salo 03 May '15

03 May '15

Hi I seem to be having a color management problem. I don't know how to fix it. When I export my drawing from Inkscape as PNG and open it in Windows photo viewer or Adobe Lightroom, the colors don't match those I see in Inkscape. However, if I view the image in Windows 8 Photo app (Metro app), the colors do seem to match Inkscape. I have created a color profile for my monitor. I have tried to change Inkscape's settings to use it through Document Properties > Color > Linked Color Profiles as well as Preferences > Input/Output > Color Management. Changing those settings don't seem to have any effect on the colors when I export the drawing. I'm a newbie when it comes to color management, so I don't know what I should be doing to preserve the colors.

How to set default fill and stroke for texts?
by Chris Green 02 May '15

02 May '15

I'm a new Inkscape user, I'm using it to draw some simple network diagrams. I seem to have got my text set up so that that default fill is 'None' and the stroke is not 'None'. For the small size text I'm using this produces rather rubbish looking text. I can't work out how to set the defaults back to what they should be. Clicking the 'Set as default' box in the text pop-up doesn't help, as expected that sets the default font style and size. Can anyone help? -- Chris Green

Save selected image
by Perry Kappetein 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

I've looked online and through the manual, but cannot find what I was looking for, so I am not sure if you can do that. When I select the image I want to save on my screen. It's always selecting a bigger area around it. Is there a way to just select that image without a big blank border around it? Tried the Custom as well, but I don't see anything happening.

Pixelate an svg using filters

Are there any working filters that are able to pixelate an svg? That is, make an svg appear as though it were made from blocks?

Re: [Inkscape-user] Urgent help needed + Erase possible?

It's not a SVG file, it was the PNG file I just imported. But I got that part figured out.. (Exporting the png first, did the trick) Now the other problem I am having it. (And I don't know if that's possible or not) If I import a PNG image. Can I erase parts of it? I tried adding a square on top to hide it, but that doesn't work, if I put an effect over it.

sadness for photorealistic artists
by Brynn 05 Apr '15

05 Apr '15

Hi Friends, As much as I'm SO happy with the new renderer that Inkscape acquired new in 0.91, it seems to have taken away the ability to see the pixels, which I rely on to locate the precise edges of of shapes, and to get accurate colors (with Dropper tool), for photorealistic work. When viewing raster images or photos, there are no pixels to be seen, even zoomed in to 25,600%!! So I may have to tweak my workflow for that. And I guess I'll have to go back to 0.48.5 to finish my in-progress drawings. I might even have to give up photorealistic drawing, because it's impossible to find the precise edges of objects, when the colors are quite similar! I suppose there will be no compromise possible -- to have the nice performance of the new renderer, yet still be able to see the pixels of photos or raster images? Thanks for any comments :-) brynn

Urgent help needed
by Perry Kappetein 04 Apr '15

04 Apr '15

Hello, I am trying to figure this out for weeks, and I am lost. I have my original image: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ni1jiik9q936131/help1.png?dl=0 Which has a transparent inside since it’s used for a bouncing ball. I applied an effect button to it. (or any other effect) To get this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/bjd9l5vr35a97ve/help2.png?dl=0 But I am losing my transparency. Even in my other program, I selected Grey as transparency. It’s still not working. So how can I fill it with an effect, that it’s only doing the blue part, and not the inside of it? Or how can I make the Grey part transparent in Inkscape? Thank you so much

Inkscape continues to default to a font not on my system (Xubuntu 14.04)
by Gregory Lemon 02 Apr '15

02 Apr '15

I'm running Inkscape 0.91 on xubuntu 14.04 64-bit. After a fresh install, every time I try to use the font tool, it defaults to the "Sans" font. I don't have this font on my computer. The red circle with the white exclamation in the font selection dropdown tells me that Inkscape knows that "Sans" isn't on my computer. The only way that I could get the font that I wanted was to type out the text and then change the properties afterwards. I finally fixed it by going to the Preferences window, Text screen, and selecting the "Last used style" radio button under "Style of new objects" But if I go back to "This tool's own style" it defaults to the last font selected, regardless of what font I select before placing the cursor. Selecting the "Last used style" option corrects the problem for me. I am not sure if the font getting stuck on one font issue is more than just my system, if it's functioning as designed, or if it is a clue to a potential bug in the application. Just wanted to raise the issue, just in case. Thanks, Greg

Converting text color.
by John Culleton 02 Apr '15

I have imported a single pdf page from a book. The text is all in blue. How do I convert it to black? I want to keep the text in text form, not bitmap so gimp is out. I have 200+ pages to process. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html Updated PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus 1.4.5" coming soon at http://www.booklocker.com/!

I found this tutorial for photoshop. Is there any way I could do this in inkscape ? http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Fold-a-Book-into-a-Word-The-original… I have a new laptop and am limited in space. If I install inkscape, how much space with it us from my hard drive ? if not I can always go back to my desktop. cheers,Joanne

Tesselation lines in svg
by Pantxo Diribarne 29 Mar '15

29 Mar '15

Hi, I use Octave [1] to generate plots as svg files and rework them later in Inkscape (0.48.4 in linux mint 17). As Octave uses opengl as its primary graphics renderer, polygons are always tessellated into smaller triangles. Unfortunately the boundary between triangles is visible on screen in Inkscape (see the attached simple plot). This is also true if I simply draw 2 triangles that have a common boundary, i.e. using "snap to grid" to ensure edges have the exact same coordinates: I can see a white boundary line on screen (and in pdf/eps outputs) between the two triangles. Is there a workaround in Inkscape? Does svg specification have a flag that tels the viewer something like "don't draw boundaries"? Thanks, Pantxo [1] https://www.gnu.org/software/octave/

cannot do characters for text?
by Perry Kappetein 29 Mar '15

29 Mar '15

I am used to make some text characters with the Alt+0169 © But you can't do that in inkscape. Is there another way to do that? For now I do it in another program, and copy the symbol over. Thanks

How can I make the text glow / highlight ? I tried one of the filters (Glow) but that isn't doing much) I want to use the text for a buton, and when someone presses the button, I want to see it all highlighted.. Thank you Ps. I am working with version 0.9.1 64 bit and it seems to slow, and crashing a lot (just quits) Is 0.48 better to use ? since all the videos I can find , seems to be all done with 0.4.8

Automatic replacement of ss
by Stefan Mueller 22 Mar '15

22 Mar '15

Hi all, I'm using Inkscape 0.91 on Ubuntu 12.04. With some fonts, when entering a double s ("ss") in a text block, it is automatically replaced with a sharp s (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%9F). However, sharp s is always incorrect spelling in Switzerland. This problem appears with all fonts of the ADF family and with Verana, but not with many others. I suppose this is an Inkscape feature. If so, how can I turn it off? Thanks in advance. Regards, Stefan
