help!
by Michaela Baulderstone 02 Mar '10

02 Mar '10

Hi, I have been learning Inkscape for the past few weeks and finally getting comfortable with this excellent program. My problem began when I downloaded Inkscape 4.7. Where previously 4.6 worked OK with my Wacom intuos 3, now it does not work in the document screen. I have googled extensively and the couple of solutions I found did not help (different ways of resetting pen settings). Looks like this is a bug...I am a newbie and need all the help I can get! Many thanks PinkDino

Node Tool/Settings in current svn
by Alexander Roalter 02 Mar '10

02 Mar '10

I'm not sure when this change appeared, but lastly I read something about preserving the shape when deleting a node and how this was used in old versions, but disabled for a moment for the new node tool, and then inserted back. Now I'm wondering why this isn't working as expected anymore: when deleting a node between two cusp nodes, currently it is also trying to maintain shape: if I have a square, convert it to a path and then delete one corner, I don't get a triangle anymore, but a triangle with a rounded hypotenuse. Another is more of a question: I have a tablet (Graphire4), and previously was able to insert a node in a path by simply double-clicking on it. This is still possible with the mouse, but not with the tablet, and I suspect that's because I'm not able to push on exactly the same spot and therefore it is not recognized as a double click... Is there any possibility to set the threshold for the clicking radius in order to have a click recognized as double click? -- cheers, Alex

NEW: LaTeX export for PDF/EPS/PS
by unknown＠example.com 25 Feb '10

25 Feb '10

Hello all, For all who use LaTeX, please read the text below from the Release Notes 0.48. Or read http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/images/SVG_in_LaTeX.pdf . (the new feature will be available in development test builds from this evening on) ===New LaTeX export for PDF/EPS/PS=== Similar to GNUPlot's `epslatex' output terminal, Inkscape can now export graphics to PDF with an accompanying LaTeX file that overlays the text over the PDF when inputted in LaTeX. The image's text is typeset by LaTeX, so for example mathematical expressions are rendered correctly, and all text will be in the font and style of the LaTeX document (even when changing the document's font afterwards). ''(the following description assumes export to PDF, but will work the same for EPS and PS)'' Two files will be created: a PDF file containing all graphics, without text; and a LaTeX file with the same name, containing all text, and code to include the PDF and overlay the text. To include the exported image in LaTeX, one writes \begin{figure} \centering \def\svgwidth{\columnwidth} % sets the image width, this is optional \input{image.tex} \end{figure} A more thorough description of how to use the new feature (and automate the exporting/inclusion of the image in LaTeX) is given in this PDF: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/images/SVG_in_LaTeX.pdf ====From the GUI==== When exporting to PDF/EPS/PS from Inkscape's GUI, the usual dialog pops up after selecting to which PDF/EPS/PS file to export to. In this dialog, you can find the PDF/EPS/PS+LaTeX option. ====Command line option==== When exporting to PDF/EPS/PS from the command line, adding --export-latex will turn the LaTeX export on. For example inkscape image.svg -z -D --export-pdf=image.pdf --export-latex Cheers! Johan Engelen

SVG path, convert to absolute?
by Paul Reilly 25 Feb '10

25 Feb '10

Hello, I need to convert SVG vector images with bezier paths from relative to absolute coordinates. So it uses big "C" instead of little "c" id="path3" d="M 47,200 C 47,200 27,140 47,120 I can do this using the GUI, but I'd like to do it via the command line. I'm using: inkscape -l drawing.sgv drawing.svg but there doesn't seem to be a command line option to specify relative or absolute paths coords? Any ideas how I might do this via the command line? Thanks Paul

Beginner question: How do I get rid of pie segment in ellipse
by John Culleton 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

I have two objects, a circle and an ellipse, which together make a cartoonish human eye. But there is a black line from the center to the edge for both objects. I understand that this is a pie segment in the circle/ellipse. No matter how I move the little circles on the edge I can't get rid of this line. If I move too far the entire shape disappears. Move back a tiny increment and there is the line again. To put it another way, how do I create either shape without having any pie slice at all? Just a pure circle or ellipse. I have three books on Inkscape but none of them seem to cover this problem.

bug?
by Elwin Estle 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

I have this oddball behavior going on with copy/paste. I am running 0.47 on a mac with OS X Leopard. I have a path that I am trying to copy and do "paste in place". However, when I paste the path, what I am getting is an IMAGE, not a path, I can't edit it. It has a white background, which shouldn't be there, and it doesn't paste in place. It pastes off to the left of where it should be. I am wanting to paste it in place on a different layer, but even pasting it on the same layer creates an image, instead of a copy of the original path. How I determined that it was an image was to go into the XML editor and watched what happened when I did the paste. Sure enough, the XML editor states that the copy is an image, not a path. What is going on? Have I changed a setting somewhere by accident? Or is this a bug?

suggestion for guide creator extension
by unknown＠example.com 20 Feb '10

20 Feb '10

Hi, I LOVE the guides creator extension, it's almost perfect for what I want to do ..... the only issue I'm having is that the file I need to make has 11 vertical stickers. Would it be possible to change the 'pull down' menu to a 'write in' field which I could change to however many I need? That would make it perfect! Thanks, Dale

Inkscape and automatic art
by donn 10 Feb '10

10 Feb '10

Hi, I found a website that lists a lot of very fine free software for art and design (http://www.libregraphicsworld.org/ ) and in that list I found one app that is wonderful... It's called contextfree (you can apt-get it!) and it's all command-line based. You write a small script kind of thing and then use the cfdg command to make a png -- and here's the coolth -- or an SVG! (http://www.contextfreeart.org/index.html) How would one go about interfacing this into Inkscape? I can see a really nice extension arising out of it; a little preview, a link to a text editor and a Render button. While you are here, there's another generator app that takes it into the 3rd dimension. This one is called 'structure-synth' (also apt-gettable). Imagine if that could also be brought into Inkscape! (although it does not supply svg output :( ) (http://structuresynth.sourceforge.net/) \d -- Fonty Python and Things! -- http://otherwise.relics.co.za/wiki/Software

SVG Hyperlink

Hello, this is not a special inkscape question but maybe someone can help me anyhow. The following code snippet does not work in IE8. (http://www.selfsvg.info/content/listings/a_example.svg) An SVG element (black circle) is configured with a hyperlink. The link does not open when cklicking the svg element. I use the Adobe SVG plugin. It only works when using a frame structure and the target points to an existing frame. Any idea what the problem could be and how to solve it ? <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd"> <svg version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <a xlink:href="http://www.w3.org" target="_blank"> <circle cx="20" cy="20" r="15" /> </a> </svg> ...

Updating/adding to the showcase...

Greetings, I created a graphic for the MakeHuman project and wondered if we can add it to the Show Case. The showcase is located here: http://www.inkscape.org/showcase/index.php?lang=en There is BRANDING, ICONS and such and perhaps we could add SUPPORTING OPEN SOURCE PROJECTS. I THINK the show case is part of the main site not the wiki or forum but I was not totally sure. If there is a way for me to edit the page myself let me know. The graphic was created using Inkscape with some screen captures edited in GIMP. Graphic: http://www.vitalbodies.com/site/uploads/images/graphics/MakeHuman_Boxes_V1_… I could also do a writeup or show additional screen captures in Inkscape. Thanks VitalBodies PS is this the correct place to ask this question?

Remote for jessyink presentations -- on a mac, anyway
by Elwin Estle 07 Feb '10

07 Feb '10

Found something really cool! On a mac (at least on my 2007 model mac mini, anyway), the apple remote that comes with it can be used, in conjunction with a program called NeoRemote, (http://www.jfedor.org/neoremote/) ... to switch slides in jessyink. NeoRemote was intended to allow the apple remote to be used for slide transitions with NeoOffice presentations. (NeoOffice is a version of Open Office for the mac, but their presentations are kinda lame, no anti-aliasing) It remaps the remote buttons to emulate keyboard keys. There are other such programs for the apple remote, but NeoRemote is free. This works in Safari, Firefox, Opera, and Google Chrome. (As probably would be expected, but ya never know...)

Printing to Minolta 1350W problems
by tj 03 Feb '10

03 Feb '10

I have a Minolta 1350W PagePro printer and I am having problems printing different sized medium. I create a doc page size of 3.5"x5.5" and draw what I need to draw. Now the problem happens when I try to print. The Minolta feeds paper in the middle. I.e. there are two paper edge slides that meet in the middle. But, when printing, inkscape wants the to start printing at the far left. So, it entirely misses the card! Plus, the Minolta can not feed unless the card stock is placed in the center. The printing options have nothing to correct this. You can not even select standard paper size options that the ppd allows. Only paper thickness. So how do I get inkscape top print where the printer has the media, in the center? tj

How to add object properties

Hi list, I want to add some new properties to the inkscape "object properties" window. I would like to use inkscape for the generation of some specific interface files but need more than "id","onclick","onmouseover",etc. It would be somewhat of a solution to just use "onclick" as "I/O input" but it would be so much nicer to be able to rename or add these properties. Is it possible to change these things from within inkscape ? Kind regards Bram

manual text kerning in 0.47
by David 27 Jan '10

Dear all, I am teaching myself Inkscape (0.47) under Linux (Ubuntu 9.10). So today I looked at manual text kerning, but it just doesn't work, even though I am faithfully following instructions I found online. So, I created some text, double-clicked it, and moved in between single letters. Then I tried Alt-RightArrowKey, and nothing happens. Same thing with the other arrow keys. Shift-Alt-ArrowKeys also no luck. Needless to say, rotating can't be done either. Am I doing sth. wrong here, or is that a bug? Thanks for your helpful comments! David

Snap problem
by Abrolag 25 Jan '10

25 Jan '10

This is something I've been meaning to comment of for ages :? I've been in the habit of grouping objects for schematic components then surrounding them with an invisible bounding box (thinnest possible line with no colour) that is 1mm grid aligned. This has worked perfectly on older versions of Inkscape so I could quickly and precisely position these objects. However with 0.47 the snap behaviour has become extremely difficult to handle. It seems now that every single point in the object will try to act as a snap focus and accurate positioning is a nightmare :( Can anyone suggest a way to get bounding box only snapping? -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune.

Re: [Inkscape-user] Export SVG: Size doesnt match original file
by Alvin Penner 22 Jan '10

22 Jan '10

I think so, unless someone else has a better idea. If it's any consolation the scale factor is predictable, you would need to make your original drawing 80% of its current size. Unless Illustrator allows you to change the screen units. Inkscape assumes that the default resolution is 90 dpi. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Export-SVG%3A-Size-doesnt-match-original-file-tp27175… Sent from the Inkscape - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

printing from inkscape not the expected size
by Gary Hawkins 21 Jan '10

Hi I'm posting this for a friend so if you need more info I'll have to ask her <grin> My friend has a canon IP5200 printer and when she prints from inkscape the image comes out smaller. For e.g. trying to print and cut a 14 x 28 oblong. All measures up in inkscape, paper set to A4 both in inkscape and the printer, convert to png, print and hey ho.... my oblong has printed out as a 13 1/2 by 27 oblong. Does anyone have any ideas how to get the canon to print at 100%, she does not seem to have a 100% setting or it is not printing at this, I'm not sure which. she is having problems printing direct from inkscape so is exporting to png and printing that as I understand it. Thanks for any help Gaz(UK)

Ok thank-you you. So, my only solution is a workaround? I am thinking of downscaling the image to fix the bounding box... -- Sent by HTC HD2 ----- Ursprüngliche Nachricht ----- Von: Alvin Penner <penner@...2467...> Gesendet: Samstag, 16. Januar 2010 17:10 An: inkscape-user(a)lists.sourceforge.net Betreff: Re: [Inkscape-user] Export SVG: Size doesnt match original file The size difference between the two files is confirmed. The bounding boxes for the two .svg files are given below. Illustrator - width="194.284px" height="75.238px" Inkscape - width="242.855" height="94.04725" The ratio of the sizes is exactly 1.25 which equals 90/72, which equals the size ratio of a point to a pixel. It looks as though Inkscape has probably assumed that the original dimensions were given in points, and has probably converted them to pixels by multiplying by 90/72, which is a reasonable thing to do. (However, I know nothing about Illustrator, so I don't know if the native units in Illustrator are points or not.) -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Export-SVG%3A-Size-doesnt-match-original-file-tp27175… Sent from the Inkscape - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Throughout its 18-year history, RSA Conference consistently attracts the world's best and brightest in the field, creating opportunities for Conference attendees to learn about information security's most important issues through interactions with peers, luminaries and emerging and established companies. http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsaconf-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Inkscape-user mailing list [Die ursprüngliche Nachricht wird nicht vollständig eingefügt.]

Export SVG: Size doesnt match original file
by Tobias Schulz 16 Jan '10

16 Jan '10

Hi, i use inkscape to convert Illustrator-AI-Files to SVG and noticed some size difference between the original ai-file and the converted svg-file. The converted file is about 1cm bigger. I tried command line and GUI. If i use Adobe Illustrator to save the AI-File to SVG there everything works fine. The Image size of SVG and AI match. thanks! Tobias

command-line export SVG with area-drawing: Workaround via PDF, but exported area is wrong!
by Tobias Schulz 15 Jan '10

15 Jan '10

Hi, i have to export an Adobe-Illustrator (AI) file to SVG with export option "export-area-drawing". I know this option is not available on SVG-Files jet. So i tried a workaround.... I exorted the AI file as PDF with area-drawing and then to SVG. This works fine, but....... the exported area in the pdf file is wrong.... the image is truncated... 2 px from image top are repeated at the bottom.... So, the easiest way to solve my problem would be to use "export-area-drawing" on SVG files. but the roadmap doesnt say whether this option is possible in the future....or does it?

New version of Alchemy is out w/ SVG support
by Joshua A. Andler 09 Jan '10

SVG support was added to svn a little while ago, but now it's in a release. You can set your preferred vector format to SVG now instead of PDF. I personally find it compliments Inkscape nicely. http://al.chemy.org/news/alchemy-008-beta-release/ Cheers, Josh

SVG to finally gets some support from MS?
by Michael Grosberg 07 Jan '10

07 Jan '10

It seems Microsoft has applied to take part in the W3C SVG working group. Could that means they are finally coming around to supporting SVG in IE (after attempting to develop their own web vector format as part of WPF). Details are here: http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2010/01/05/microsoft-joins-w3c-svg-working… This could make Inkscape vastly more popular in the near future.

I was poking around, looking at computer languages, and I came across this: http://www.alancsmith.co.uk/logo/ It's a logo implementation with turtle graphics capability, and you can export to svg. It will also do movies, check out the gallery page, very interesting stuff.

Future plans for speeding up Inkscape?
by Linda Walsh 05 Jan '10

05 Jan '10

I was wondering if anyone was planning on mods to speed up inkscape's interface and 3D ops? I.e. where it "feels" like it could really benefit would be use of 3D hardware acceleration in doing some of it's on-screen rotations and movements. Other areas with more 'niche' or smaller payoff would be using CUDA-based highly parallel processing (I hear that CUDA libs are good at scaling many points in parallel), followed by multiple CPU cores, and use of 64-bit instructions. I think the most bang for the buck and most general would come from using 3D HW accel and moving to the extra memory provided by 64-bit. I know that running out of memory is where Adobe Illus. quickly fails on larger vector drawings, especially in the undo/redo system. It's amazing what Inkscape can do and how easy it is to do thing when it comes to vector stuff, but my version (.47) doesn't seem real stable after I've been running it for a while. All of my long edit sessions in _playing_ with advanced features have ended by it crashing. I wasn't trying to do anything in particular so I don't remember the workflow I did each time, but it was usually after it had been up a while. Only once did I actually get to a point of saving an output w/o it crashing. I'm a complete novice when it comes to computer art/SVG art, so I'd sure I was doing something that was 'unreasonable'... :-) I didn't try to report the bug at the time as I'm sure the developers have their plate full with other problems and since I'm not real familiar with correct operation, I didn't want to be told that I wasn't using the product 'the right way' and by being a beginner, the crashes were due to me trying to do things that I should have done differently (though I tend to believe programs shouldn't crash in such situations, but there could be workarounds that would be known if I was more adept with the program). I can try to report bugs if I'm not made to feel worthless for reporting them if I don't also include fixes for them...like I have got on some projects...(oh the joys of open source projects :-) ).

I feel that Joshua (not me) summed that up nicely. It boils down to that we are an open and welcoming community. Feedback is welcomed and appreciated, and the more info you can provide, the better for experience for everyone. We don't tend to take issue unless you want to complain and suggest how we can do it better. We don't know better than you, and we won't (generally claim to) know what's right. Tell us.

Making a dial
by Claus Cyrny 03 Jan '10

03 Jan '10

Hi all, I'm about trying to make a dial by following the tips on Tavmjong's web site at http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Tiles-Tricks.html but I just can't figure out how to handle the parameters within the 'tiled clones' dialogue. I managed to set the center of rotation, and checked 'exclude' for the columns, but how do I proceed after that? (I selected P1 translation.) For a start, I just wanted to make a dial composed of 4 short strokes, at 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270°, but even this seems to be difficult. Sorry, but the rows/columns part is a bit confusing to me. Can anybody help? TIA, Claus -- - Me on Flickr <http://www.flickr.com/photos/claus_01/> - Me on Twitter <http://twitter.com/claus_01/>
