import ai/pdf file to inkscape only gives a blank page
by Kabeer Nasir 18 Sep '10

18 Sep '10

Hey! I have an .ai file with a logo in it that looks something like this (scanned from a t-shirt): http://cafeabel.no/banner.jpg Problem is that when I try to import it in inkscape, it gives me a blank file. I've viewed it in gedit so I know there's something in there, but have no clue how to get it out. I've tried opening it with GIMP and adobe PDF reader, but no go, I get the same blank page. Am I doing something wrong or is the file completely useless? Here's a link to the file: http://cafeabel.no/cafeabel.ai Any help would be greatly appreciated -Kabeer

Font Problem: SVG File Exported Illustrator
by Cuong Tham 17 Sep '10

17 Sep '10

I am working with a SVG file exported by Illustrator. I am on a Ubuntu 9.10 box. When I open the SVG file in Inkscape 4.8, and view the XML source, I see the font names appended by "-83pv-RKSJ-H". Due to this, Inkscape doesn't render the text correctly. Is any way to solve this problem? What is "-83pv-RKSJ-H"? Here's a sample XML of the SVG exported by Illustrator: <text transform="matrix(1 0 0 1 644.9629 495.7021)" id="text9636"><tspan x="0" y="0" font-family="'FutoGoB101Pro-Bold-83pv-RKSJ-H'" font-size="10" id="tspan9638">あらゆ</tspan><tspan x="255.75" y="0" font-family="'FutoGoB101Pro-Bold-83pv-RKSJ-H'" font-size="10" id="tspan9640">る</tspan></text> Any advise would be apprei

Text from imprted pdf not split
by Sebastian Busch 12 Sep '10

12 Sep '10

Dear list, I would like to open http://www.thamnos.de/l2.ps in inkscape. Therefore, I use epstopdf to produce http://www.thamnos.de/l2.pdf which I can open. However, the text at the x- and y-axes (0, 0.25, 0.5, ...) is one big object each instead of an object per number. This would be my preferred behaviour as a subsequent save as pdf with PDF+LaTeX will now end up in a messed up LaTeX part: http://www.thamnos.de/l2.pdf_tex So I tried to split the numbers using the Split Text extension, splitting words at the x-axis. This fails though with Traceback (most recent call last): File "split.py", line 215, in <module> b.affect() File "/usr/share/inkscape/extensions/inkex.py", line 215, in affect self.effect() File "split.py", line 202, in effect nodes = self.split_words(node) File "split.py", line 115, in split_words x = float(line.get("x")) ValueError: invalid literal for float(): 0 40.54911213 47.89159253 84.76972857 92.11220897 128.98994884 136.33242924 173.21016911 180.55264951 217.43078555 224.77326595 I tried to add some print statements in split.py but it is not printed to stdout... Can someone here please help? Thanks in advance, Sebastian.

Perfect book cover.
by John Culleton 09 Sep '10

09 Sep '10

I have three books on Inkscape, the third edition of "Inkscape Guide to a Vector Drawing Program", "The Book of Inkscape" and the smaller "Inkscape for Vector Graphics". None of the three mention the Render tool "Perfect Book Template" which I am reasonably certain came in with version 47 or perhaps earlier. With version 48 the barcode generator choices include two that are useful for book covers, EAN 13 and EAN 5. With these enhancements Inkscape is not yet a complete stand alone book cover tool (no CMYK, no PDF X/1-a) but it is getting close. With a little help from other free software such as Scribus the potential is exciting. I suggest that as these three books are republished the potential for creating book covers be acknowledged and the "Perfect Book Template" be at least mentioned. It more or less replaces my effort shown here: http://wexfordpress.net/template.html While my program only generates the dimensions and the guide positions as numeric output Inkscape actually creates a true template which can be saved as a pdf and used in other programs like Scribus (or even Gimp.) The workload can be split between Inkscape and Scribus in various ways. At one extreme only the template is taken from Inkscape, imported into Scribus, and the external page dimensions fitted to the imported pdf or png file. At the other extreme all of the creative work can be done in Inkscape and the finished cover imported into Scribus for conversion to CMYK and saving as PDF X/1-a where that is required or desirable. I am only beginning to experiment with these combinations. As my experience grows I'll share the results. The next edition of my e- book listed below will have both Inkscape and Scribus in the title. Stay tuned! -- John Culleton Wexford Press "Create Book Covers with Scribus" Printable E-book 38 pages $5.95 http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

To me, this is an excellent idea! Lots of little, nifty things like this is in my experience what helps newcomers instantly start liking Inkscape. The color boxes at the top right of the Inkscape window only opens my preferences dialog, though. I would have expected the color dialog to appear. Cheers, Jimmy Volatile.

Elegant work - thank you
by Carl Symons 03 Sep '10

03 Sep '10

Yesterday, I led an orientation for a small group of beginners from an Native American community in the US. They all wanted Inkscape loaded on their new computers. It is a wonder-full, wonderful application. This Native American nation's (Coastal Salish) heritage and culture is loaded with arts, in particular totem-like images where Inkscape excels. These students were already making exceptional images after just a few hours. One girl did a piece with one star, Ctrl-D-ing, tweaking and arranging the copies. She was gone into the timelessness of creativity. >From the mailing list today came my discovery of F11 and F12 toggles. Simple, but functions I didn't know about or even realize I wanted. I am amazed at the quality and thoughtfulness of Inkscape. So this is a note of thanks to everyone who contributes to Inkscape. You touch lives in unimaginable ways. Carl

SVG 2.0: Update want list
by Tavmjong Bah 03 Sep '10

03 Sep '10

Hi, Thanks for all the replies. We're getting quite a list. Here is the latest version: 1. Markers that can inherit parent attributes (e.g. marker fill takes parent stroke color so arrow heads are same color as path). 2. New gradients: A. Conical (special case of mesh?) B. Mesh: (should match PDF types) C. Diffusion curves. 3. Vector effects (see: http://dev.w3.org/SVG/modules/vectoreffects/master/SVGVectorEffectsPrimer.h… ) 4. Multipage SVG's. 5. Multiline text entry. 6. Perspective transforms. 7. Paths constructed of sub-paths with different attributes. Objects that share paths. (Maybe included as part of vector effects.) 8. Control over stroke positioning (amount inside/outside path). 9. Vector fills. 10. Pattern filter: Variable pattern fills (e.g. size/density of dots as function of color/alpha). 11. Embedded fonts. -- Tavmjong Bah Inkscape, Guide to Vector Drawing Program http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/

small screen
by unknown＠example.com 02 Sep '10

02 Sep '10

My laptop has a small screen, and as a result it fits in my briefcase and I can take it just about anywhere. Usually that's a feature, but not whan I use Inkscape. When I use inkscape (or the Gimp for that matter) there's very little effective drawing area because most of the screen seems to fill up with icons to do various things to my drawing. Is there any way to reduce the clutter, and to see them only when I need them? Or to usually see only the ones I use often? -- hendrik

Re: [Inkscape-user] Tear off toolbars

I'm running .48 on Ubuntu and I'm a bit puzzled by the interface behaviour. some of the toolbars have moved from the top to the side of the window. Grabbing them and tearing them off works, but I can't get them to dock again. So I end up with a whole lot of free floating toolbars cluttering up the screen until I do a restart.

Using command line interface with inkscape.com 0.48 and Windows 7
by Paul A. Bristow 31 Aug '10

31 Aug '10

I have installed Inkscape 0.48 and it runs OK in Windows 7 32 bit as a windows program. I have got the inkscape.com version from the .7z distro (wasn't in the win installer package - an omission?). But when I try to run the inkscape.com from a command window I don't get a c:\users\paul> prompt just a blank DOS window with the expected. If I type commands like --version or --help or -h they are just echoed and available with the uparrow command recall. I get the Inkscape window up that shows I have Inkscape 0.48.0 r9654. What am I doing wrong? Thanks Paul PS I have run the SVG converter GUI utility but it produces .pngs that don't view right with MS Photo viewer. So I am hoping to run a command file instead - as I did with previous versions. Paul A. Bristow, pbristow@...2746...

Inkscape 4.8 outset/inset behavior
by Susan Spencer 31 Aug '10

31 Aug '10

In trying to add a 1cm seam allowance outside a pattern drawn with Inkscape 4.8, : 1. the Outset is shaped properly, has the correct width, but it is positioned *over* the path, half in and half out, instead of being placed 100% outside of the path. Is this the intended behavior? 2. The outset doesn't inherit the properties of the path selected, it has a 'fill' by default. I have to select the edit object icon, and set fill to 'x' and stroke to solid. Is there a way to cause the 'Outset' path to inherit the selected path's properties? 3. When I select 'Inset' on the same path,just as a test to see what happens, I get a very small tight grouping of points that have no apparent relationship to my pattern shape. I don't really need 'Inset' at the moment, just thought I'd mention it. I'm new to Inkscape, so perhaps there is something that I am missing. Any suggestions? Thanks, Susan

Re: [Inkscape-user] Inkscape 4.8 outset/inset behavior
by Susan Spencer 29 Aug '10

29 Aug '10

The problem has been corrected for my drawing, but not sure about what was corrected: I selected my segments and converted them to a path with Ctrl-K, then applied Outset, with the results of an inside and outside line, both deviating from the original path in strange ways. I did more experimentation, selecting segments then converting to path, then Simplifying the path before adding Outset resulted with same inside & outside offset lines. More experimenting in this vein had similar results. Only after the object was initially created as one single path, with 'z' connector at the end, did the Outset become a proper exact copy 36px (~1cm) outside of the object. Not sure about all the issues involved here, it's just nice to know for the moment which hammer was required to achieve the desired result. Later maybe a smaller hammer will do. - Susan Message: 4 > Date: Fri, 27 Aug 2010 11:37:33 -0500 > From: Susan Spencer <susan.spencer@...155...> > Subject: [Inkscape-user] Inkscape 4.8 outset/inset behavior > To: inkscape-user(a)lists.sourceforge.net > Message-ID: > <AANLkTi=+owBm1Ka_jN1ZHMRfRHKGMOD2P4anDqev-kWk@...156...> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" > > In trying to add a 1cm seam allowance outside a pattern drawn with > Inkscape > 4.8, : > 1. the Outset is shaped properly, has the correct width, but it is > positioned *over* the path, half in and half out, instead of being placed > 100% outside of the path.

hello sorry if you already discussed this... i was thinking about how to simulate pages with svg capabilities and inkscape features. i am also in the need to create text forms that are empty by default and don't shrink to the size of the input. i also understand that svg has no rules to solve these problems and probably never will, but... is svg meant to solve higher order layout problems or is a tool like inkscape wrong if it only bases on one svg document per document/file? what would w3c say to this? do they think that multiple pages in a document are to be defined as multiple svg documents in one xml document? are text forms to be programmed with python or javascript or should one integrate other standards like xhtml or xforms? what do you think? maledetto <maledetto@...2748...>

SVG 2.0: What does Inkscape want?
by Tavmjong Bah 25 Aug '10

25 Aug '10

Hi, I've been asked to sit on a panel at Open SVG 2010 titled "Graphical Effects Beyond SVG 1.1". I'll have five minutes before the discussion begins to present Inkscape's hopes for SVG 2.0. These are the things that I can think of at the moment. Please add to the list: 1. Markers that can inherit parent attributes (e.g. marker fill takes parent stroke color so arrow heads are same color as path). 2. Mesh gradients (Diffusion curves?). 3. Vector effects (see: http://dev.w3.org/SVG/modules/vectoreffects/master/SVGVectorEffectsPrimer.h… ) 4. Multipage SVG's. Thanks, Tav

Re: [Inkscape-user] Problem with Nautilus

I'm moving your post over to Inkscape User Community <inkscape-user(a)lists.sourceforge.net>, it's more appropriate there, although it's probably not really an Inkscape problem at all.

You should always include these details in bug reports. You need to know what Nautilus is doing with the file. It may not be invoking Inkscape. Presumably running Inkscape directly and loading the file from within Inkscape works? Prior to discovering this problem, were you able to load an .svg in Inkscape by double clicking in Nautilus? Or was this the first time you'd tried. Does Nautilus offer a right-click Open With... option? If so, can you select Inkscape from that list, and does it still crash? For me, dbl-click opens the .svg in Eye-Of-Gnome, and right-click open with opens it in Inkscape, if I select that. I'm using Ubuntu / 10.4 / xfce4. Cheers -Terry

Some usage questions and observations, mostly about paths
by Alexander Roalter 18 Aug '10

18 Aug '10

I'm currently drawing a lot of maps, especially with municipality boundaries etc, this means a lot of closed paths, which should fit together like a puzzle. The snap function is a great help to this, but from another source I got some parts where the path is not closed, but the start and endpoint is there twice, without being connected. Now I can select both start and endpoint, and click on the -o o- v --o-- button (join selected end nodes) in the toolbar. Is there a shortcut for this? There isn't even a menu entry... The same is valid: I have selected a subpath between two nodes, is there a way to add nodes in between other than the (+)-button in the toolbar? (I know of the double click, but if I want fast a lot of new nodes, this becomes rather tiresome. Another thing with nodes: if I select only a few nodes from a path, and press the arrows, only these nodes move. The transformation tool though operates only on the entire path, so I cannot move a subset of nodes in a path by a fixed amount of pixels (e.g. make a zig zag line by selecting only the even nodes and moving them up a fixed amount). I have only one object, let's say a rectangular shape on the canvas, from 100,100 to 300,200. If I now select 'adjust canvas size to object' from the document settings, the object in the xml still has 100,100, 300,200 as coordinates, but a transform(-100,-100) applied to it all. How can I apply the transformation to all objects, so that the object's coordinates (in the xml) would be 0,0 - 200,100? And last, how does one make a distinction (and possibly convert) a path with absolute coordinates (uppercase M at the beginning of the path) to a path with relative coordinates (lowercase m)? I think this should be as easy as changing the path's direction -- cheers, Alex

Announcement: Scribus 1.3.8 and Scribus Presentation Template Package Released
by Christoph Schäfer 27 Jul '10

27 Jul '10

The Scribus Team is pleased to announce the release of Scribus 1.3.8. This new release brings us closer to version the next stable release 1.4. During this development period the team focused again on stabilty and correctness. More than 60 bugs have been resolved since the release of 1.3.7. In particular, import filters and PDF export have been improved. This version also adds a number of usabilty improvements, as well as documentation and translation updates. http://bugs.scribus.net/changelog_page.php?version_id=76 lists all changes made to 1.3.8. The Scribus Team considers this version to be quite stable and ready for most real-world use cases. However, since there are still some issues that we wish to fix before releasing version 1.4, more cautious users may want to prefer to stick with the officially stable version 1.3.3.14. The Scribus Team will continue to implement new features and improvements in our 1.5.0 development branch. Features that can be backported may become part of the 1.4 milestone. ==Important Information== Please note that we have branched our code repository: * 1.3.9svn code (the next iteration of the development version and possibly the last before the release of 1.4) is available from the "Version135" branch: (svn://scribus.info/Scribus/branches/Version135/) * trunk (=experimental) is now versioned 1.5.0svn (svn://scribus.info/Scribus/trunk) and continues to undergo heavy changes. Please use this branch for testing only! The Scribus Team recommends that all distributions package Scribus 1.3.3.14 as "Scribus" or "scribus". We recommend the additional packaging of 1.3.8 only if it is marked as a development version and can be installed alongside an existing Scribus 1.3.3.14 (for example as "scribus-ng"). An important reminder: If you are working with 1.3.3.x and decide to implement some design features available in 1.3.8, you should only work with a copy of your file, since once it is saved in 1.3.8 format, you will not be able to open it again with 1.3.3.x. Similarly, if you are working with a team, try to make sure that all team members use the same Scribus version -- this will avoid many headaches and extra work. Please also note that as of 1.3.8 the minimum Qt version required to compile and use Scribus is 4.6. If your distribution doesn't offer updated Qt packages, you may have to compile Qt yourself. ==Primary Download Location== Windows and Mac OS X installers, as well as the source code are available here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/scribus/files/scribus-devel/1.3.8/ OS/2 installers will be added soon. ==Further Download Options== - Upstream Debian/Ubuntu repo: http://debian.scribus.net - Fedora 13 RPMS: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/mrdocs - OpenSUSE 11.1+ and SLED 11 RPMs: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/mrdocs ==Source Verification== MD5 Sum scribus-1.3.8-tar.bz2: 660b946ea3ba19e894fb5701832a6b54 MD5 Sum scribus-1.3.8.7z: 6faf763a9ca8195245d33585f94474d7 MD5 Sum scribus-1.3.8-win32-install.exe: 51762c70cccb4a479a5d0020a3732bf0 MD5 Sum Scribus_1.3.8.dmg: 7df05a7dc0645be51438518857af4c86 ==New Presentation Template Package Available== The Scribus Team is also pleased to announce the availability of a set of presentation templates for the creation of PDF presentations, which is released under a BSD license. They are based on the templates published by SUN Microsystems for OpenOffice.org. Installation instructions are included in the archive. Download: http://sourceforge.net/projects/scribus/files/extras/templates/presentation… MD5 Sum: e2bc54c7304d318645dfb8a60ca7b1e6 ==New Team Member== With great pleasure the Scribus Teams welcomes a new member to our development, Jain Basil, a computer science student from India. We are looking forward to some great contributions from this talented programmer! ==Credits== The Scribus Team would like to thank Anduin.net/Øverby Consulting (Norway) for their continued hosting of all of the Scribus websites. We are also grateful to Linux New Media (Germany) for sponsoring. Moreover, the Scribus Team is pleased to name Resene Colours (New Zealand), dtp studio (Germany), Serenity Systems (USA), Vectorportal (Russia) and Marabu-Druckfarben (Germany), De Telefoongids (The Netherlands) as Special Supporters. Finally, the Scribus Team would like to thank the many end users, translators, testers and contributors who helped us with this important release. ==About Scribus== Scribus is an award-winning, cross-platform Open-Source page layout application with a focus on high-quality and commercial-grade PDF and PostScript output.

Cannot get condensed fonts
by Daniel Carrera 18 Jul '10

18 Jul '10

Hello, For some reason Inkscape does not show me the condensed fonts on my system. I am running Ubuntu (Lucid) and I have some DejaVu condensed fonts installed: % ls /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/*Condensed* /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSansCondensed-BoldOblique.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSansCondensed-Bold.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSansCondensed-Oblique.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSerifCondensed-BoldItalic.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSerifCondensed-Bold.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSerifCondensed-Italic.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSerifCondensed.ttf So I go to inkscape, select some text and click on the little "T" button to get additional font options. There, I select DejaVu Sans and under "Style" I see options like normal and Semi-Condensed, but I do not see Condensed. Does anyone know what's going on? Is it possible that DejaVu does not actually *have* condensed fonts and all the files that say "Condensed" are actually mislabeled and they are really only semi-condensed? Thanks for the help. -- Intolerant people should be shot.

When I dowload this svg from http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikibooks/de/7/72/SVG_Buch01.svg I can use it with rsvg, but not with inkscape. inkscape just shows a completely empty canvas.

Inkscape just stop
by Krappies 15 Jul '10

15 Jul '10

Good day. Using inkscape about to finish a drawing I get a screen that say INKSCAPE HAS STOPED WORKING. I am fairly new to the program and enjoying it a lot, I have still got to learn a lot about the use but have made a lot of drawings that really impressed me. Another point how do you upgrade inkscape I can't seem to find it. I am running Windows 7 Professional and have seen that it is not on your list for compatible programs, could this be a problem I use to run on XP Professional with no problems at all and that was before the 4.8 upgrade. Hope you can help as I am trying to convince a lot of Corel users that this is the ultimate program to use. KInd regards. Krappies. Cell +27 76 822 3030 Fax +27 086 566 4555 Skype Krappies6

UniConvertor 1.1.5 release
by Igor Novikov 07 Jul '10

07 Jul '10

Hi all! sK1 Team are proud announcing UniConvertor 1.1.5 release. I think you remember UniConvertor is used by Inkscape as external set of import/export filters (like for CorelDRAW files, WMF etc.) A year of hard work, the masses of improvements and innovations, some multi platform feature in new version - detailed description you can find an excellent review of Alexandre Prokoudine: http://www.libregraphicsworld.org/articles.php?article_id=20 UniConvertor 1.1.5 for win32 is prepared as a standalone application bundle with some interesting feature. It includes small script which integrates external UniConvertor into Inkscape 0.47/0.48pre1 installation. So right now Inkscape win32 users can upgrade Inkscape import/export features without waiting for a new Inkscape version! Regards, Igor Novikov sK1 Project http://sk1project.org

weird behavior of gear renderer
by Elwin Estle 07 Jul '10

07 Jul '10

I make use of the gear renderer all the time and haven't run into this before, I don't think. I am running 0.47, downloaded just today from inkscape.org, on mac OS X Leopoard. When I render a gear, I cannot get the boolean operations to work with it. So if I want to make a "hole" in the center of the gear, I can't put a circle there and do a difference operation to cut a circle into the center of the gear. >From a 2D standpoint, this would not be a big deal, but since I import the gear .svg files into Blender for later 3D operations, this is something of a problem. What am I doing wrong, or what is it about the gear paths that is preventing this?

365 Sketches (Inkscape) show and opening talk video

Dogfighter raining down bones <http://www.flickr.com/photos/30654084@...1706.../4427943149> Image by lemasney <http://www.flickr.com/photos/30654084@...1706.../4427943149> via Flickr Hello, Most of you already know that I am doing a /sharism/ project called 365 Sketches, in which I present one digital image a day made using free and open source design software called Inkscape. The project is chronicled at both http://365sketches.org and http://facebook.com/365sketches and in other places -- If you've not heard of it, you're included here because I believe you might be interested. (Sharism is discussed here: http://freesouls.cc/essays/07-isaac-mao-sharism.html) I also recently got the opportunity to present the work as a rotating show (with Charles Viera) at Princeton Public Library (65 Witherspoon, Princeton, NJ), produced by Janie Hermann, and sponsored by the Princeton Arts Council. I gave a talk at the show's opening on the 21st of June to discuss its origins, processes, and reasoning. http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/8022746 is a new, clean audio recording from the talk synchronized with 160 brisk, clear, fully sized slides from the talk. Try full screen mode for the best effect. This is also a thank you note. Some of you were kind enough to attend the show opening and talk, some of you were kind enough to suggest it to others, and some of you mentioned that you were sorry to have missed it. Many of you have been so generous as to have purchased sketches from the show. Many of you were mentioned in the talk. Please share this email or the video with anyone who you think might enjoy it. You should know that the PPL show is on the second floor, free, will be changing over time, and will be up through the middle of September, 2010. I am showing alongside Charles Viera who I'm proud to share the space with. Charles and I overlap in a lot of fun ways in content and story, but are quite diverse in style and approach. Special thanks to Janie Hermann and Maria Evans, both of whom made the show possible. Thanks also to all of you for participating, if you have or if you would. Thanks!
