Win32 help
by Jon A. Cruz 16 Sep '05

16 Sep '05

I've got a few bugs open for Win32 issues, and a few ideas on how to address them. What I don't have is a good way to compile or run Win32 tests here on my Mac. :-) What would be helpful would be anyone who could either build win32 versions with some tweaks or anyone who could run quick tests with those builds. Especially given our freeze state, I don't want to check anything in to CVS that hasn't gone through actual build and user testing. So... If anyone could help with either of those aspects (I've had a few people mention this in chat), just drop me a quick email directly and say if you can compile, test, or both. (no need to clutter the mailing lists to responses to this) Thanks.

RE: [Inkscape-user] Symbols and Fonts
by Hibbs, Phil 16 Sep '05

16 Sep '05

You would have to install the fonts on at least one computer, but once you had done that, you could then convert the symbols that you need into outlines and then save them as .svg for future use. If you want to distribute aby .svg files containing those symbols, though, you would have to worry about copyright on the fonts. __________________________________________________ Phil Hibbs | Capgemini | Rotherham Senior Programmer __________________________________________________ This message contains information that may be privileged or confidential and is the property of the Capgemini Group.

Windows version: Internal error
by Oak 15 Sep '05

15 Sep '05

Hello, I use Inkscape on my Linux (after several years with Sodipodi) and I used also Inscape at work on WinXP. But now, I tried to install latest Inkscape on WinXP on my new laptop (due to problems with HW vs. Linux installation) as a partial solution, but I get "Iscape encountered an interanll error and will close now." message with "Close" button. There's no log file or whatever that could lead to the solution of a problem... I also tried to replace the binary executable for the "LATEST" available windows binary, but it doesn't work. Any ideas? Regards, Libor

Color fill
by Chuck Kelsey 14 Sep '05

14 Sep '05

Hello to the group. I'm new here and new to Inkscape. I've spent way too many hours on this, so I'm going to ask..... I have created an image of a plaque. The border around it is essentially lines and curves connected together until they meet at the starting point, then another that is one grid square inside of the first. I want to fill the area between the parallel lines (that form the border) with a color, then fill the inside of the plaque image with a different color. I can manage to get odd-ball areas to fill with color, but that's it. What am I doing wrong? Chuck

RESETTING DEFAULTS
by rock fest 14 Sep '05

14 Sep '05

HELLO INKSCAPE - I LOVE WHAT YOU PEOPLE ARE DOING! NOW I NEED TO KNOW SOMETHING. I'VE BEEN FOOLING AROUND FOR AWHILE, & READING EVERY POST ON THIS FORUM. I LIKE TO ANSWER MY OWN QUESTIONS FIRST, BUT NOW I'M STYMIED. USING 4.2 ON OSX.3.9 I REALIZED THAT WHEN I OPENED A NEW DOCUMENT IT RETAINED WHATEVER FORMATTING TO SHAPE FILL COLOR & LINE I HAD MADE WHILE FOOLING AROUND THE LAST TIME. TODAY, I DRAGGED 4.2 TO THE TRASH & INSTALLED 4.2.2 USUALLY, I LIKE TO TRASH THE PLIST FILE, CACHE, & ANYTHING ELSE I CAN FIND LIKE THIS TOO. OTHERWISE I'VE HAD PROBLEMS CARRY OVER OR EVEN NEW ONES CREATED ( I LEARNED THIS TRICK FROM APPLE SUPPORT FORUM , ERASING & REINSTALLING & UPGRADING OSX SEVERAL TIMES ). BUT I CAN'T FIND ANY OTHER FILES OR FOLDERS FOR INKSCAPE OTHER THAN THE APP ICON ITSELF, ANYWHERE ON MY COMPUTER. SO, JUST AS I FEARED, THE VERY SHAPE,COLOR & LINE MODIFICATIONS I PERFORMED LAST SESSION FOOLING AROUND UNDER 4.2 ARE STILL THE DEFAULTS FOR NEW DOCS UNDER THE NEW INSTALLATION OF 4.2.2, NOW, I WENT THROUGH ALL THE MENUS & PREFS I COULD FIND. DEFAULT BUTTONS FOR THE SHAPE TOOLS RESET THE SHAPES THEMSELVES BACK TO ORIGINAL, BUT NOTHING I FOUND WILL RESET THE COLOR OR LINE ASPECTS BACK TO A DEFAULT. SO, IS THERE A WAY TO RESET GLOBAL DEFAULTS FOR ENTIRE APPLICATION AT ONCE ? OR, FAILING THAT, WHERE IS THAT PESKY LITTLE PLIST FILE HIDING ?! - THANX FOR A GOOD TIME, ROCK FEST

Area Selection Tool?
by Chris Spencer 14 Sep '05

14 Sep '05

I really enjoy using Inkscape for refining and processing line art. Sometimes I'll use Inkscape to color, however, this requires me to create a new shape by meticulously tracing areas by hand. Is there any tool that would just let me click an empty area and have it automatically create a new shape by detecting the edges of nearby paths? This vector equivalent to the bitmap fuzzy-select/magic-wand tool would be extremely useful. Chris

Hello. I'm a new Inkscape user, and was hoping anyone out there would be able to help me on a specific problem with the program. I have new ttf fonts that I've installed on my computer, but Inkscape won't recognise them. Other users have been unable to help. I use a Windows 98 system. Any advice you could offer would be greatly appreciated. Tommy Flick __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Exporting Inkscape graphic for high-quality printing
by Markus Meyer 13 Sep '05

13 Sep '05

Hi everyone, I have created an Inkscape SVG with Inkscape 0.40 (the version from Ubuntu 5.04 Synaptic). I then wanted to export it to EPS because I have to give it to a print shop (it's a poster in A0 format). However, the exported EPS was of poor quality. Especially the gradients were not exported at all, and the text looks quite shaky although it displays fine on screen, even when zooming in. I then downloaded Inkscape 0.42 from the website, in the hope that it may solve some of these problems. But I still cannot export anything vector-based which will look exactly like the original drawing. In particular: - PDF export does not contain most objects, and only exports A4 size - EPS export still does not print the gradient correctly (even if printed on a Adobe-certified Postscript 3 printer), and the text either looks very clunky (when using "convert text to curves") or has the wrong font (when not using the former) - SVG (plain) export looks terrible in Adobe SVG viewer (only text, in Courier font, no graphics) Any ideas? Markus

Website translation procedure
by Bryce Harrington 12 Sep '05

12 Sep '05

Hi all, pistoncito asked about how to do translations of the website currently. I figure this suggests we need some sort of documentation, so here's a start. It sounds like we will need to change this process once we figure out how to do the automatic web browser language detection, but until that gets sorted out, we should use this process. I'll also post this to Wiki so folks can update it as better approaches are worked out for it. http://wiki.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?WebsiteEditing Translating the Inkscape Website ================================ 1. Do a CVS checkout of the website module. 2. Create a subdirectory at the top level with your language code. I.e.: inkscape_web/es/ 3. Copy pages from the main site into your subdir structure, and begin translating them. Look in the other translated areas for examples of what needs translated. Note: The tutorial translations in the doc/ directory are handled separately from the website translation. These are the files in inkscape_web/doc/*/ that have .XX.html extensions. You do not need to do anything about these pages. Note: The translation of doxygen, wiki, and the various SF pages are separate from the website translation. You do not need to do anything about these pages. 4. Add a flag for your language in the images directory. It should be named inkscape_web/images/flag-XX.png. (where XX is your language code). Next add an img for the flag to inkscape_web/includes/header.php See how the other flags are done in that file as an example. 5. Add a news item to the index page announcing your translation. You are encouraged to write it in both English and your native language. 6. If you have CVS access, then commit your changes to the site. See the Website Editing and Working With CVS documentation for directions. If you do not have CVS access, then show your translation to one of the Inkscape administrators for review. They will then give you access to CVS and the website, so you can deploy your changes. Bryce

navigational plotting
by Paul Hirose 09 Sep '05

09 Sep '05

I'm having trouble drawing a path depicting a vessel's movements. For example, from some starting point, go 123 miles on course 091°, thence 73 miles on course 346°, etc. Drawing any single leg of the trip is no problem. I can make a straight line of a given length, then rotate it to the correct orientation. However, creating these legs individually and placing them end to end gives the diagram a klugey look. The corners don't have the perfect appearance of a path created by successive clicks with the pen tool. I can get the diagram just right by first roughing out the path by eye, then using the Inkscape XML edit feature to modify the node coordinates. To get the correct numbers I perform vector math on a calculator. This is laborious and blunder-prone. Is there a better way?

problem importing ps
by manouchk 09 Sep '05

09 Sep '05

Hi, I'm trying to import ps from inkscape, it does not work here. I use mandriva and version of inkscape inkscape-0.42-0.1.102mdk. Is there any bug fixes related to this in version 0.42.2. Is it possible to read directly the changelog of inkscape for different version? it seems to run pstoedit that isn't not able to convert from ps to svg (I tried on the command line. When tenting the importation it gives a popup window with this message : pstoedit: version 3.40 / DLL interface 108 (build Mar 19 2005 - release build) : Copyright (C) 1993 - 2005 Wolfgang Glunz Warning: some types of raster images in the input file cannot be converted if the output is sent to standard output and then it says that there is an error : /usr/share/inkscape/extensions/sk2svg.sh: line 9: /home/manu/tmp/tmp.zNhkh10874/sk2svg10872.svg: No such file or directory (probably because the svg file was not created) (By the way to convert from ps to svg I'm using right now pstoedit to convert to .sk and then load the .sk file in skconvert and export to svg, a bit unpractical!!)

Another Inkscape Book update
by Tavmjong Bah 09 Sep '05

09 Sep '05

Hi, I've once again updated my book "A Guide to Inkscape": http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/index.php The book should now cover almost all (if not all "non-experimental") features of Inkscape v0.42. The biggest changes are the completion of the Tiling and Tracing chapters as well as adding an index. This is still a draft. I plan on adding more examples and of course the new v0.43 features when they have stabilized. There are a few things that I don't fully understand. Perhaps someone could enlighten me: 1. Find dialog: What is the use of the "Text" entry box. I could not get it do anything. 2. Gradient handles: Is there a good use for gradient handles that snap to each other? 3. Text and Font dialog, Spell checker: Does this actually work? Thanks, Tav

But I also need the freehand drawing (F6) very often and don't want to demote it. Any ideas? http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1165049&group_id=9… Are there others who would like to see 0.001 precision in X/Y/W/H, or is this a too specialized need? -- bulia byak Inkscape.

espero con alegria noticias

Very well, all conditions are met, and it appears all comments voiced have been in support of the proposal. I've submitted the request to SF to have inkscape-user-es@ added. It should become available within the day. > Probably after this is announced as a news item, more people will be > interested. Once the list is available, I'll put out the official announcement, however I would encourage the new members of this list to take the duty to promote it and encourage other Spanish speaking users to join. I think seeing news in the native language will be the most effective way of building the community. Also, if speakers of other languages would also like to have lists set up, and can meet the same conditions that were met for the Spanish list, I will create them as well. Bryce ----------------------------------------------------- Traducción de Babel Fish En español: Muy bien, se resuelven todas las condiciones, y aparece que todos los comentarios expresados han sido en la ayuda de la oferta. He sometido la petición a SF para hacer el inkscape-usuario-inkscape-user-es @ agregar. Debe llegar a estar disponible dentro del día. Probablemente después de que esto se anuncie como noticia, más gente estará interesada. Una vez que la lista esté disponible, pondré hacia fuera el aviso oficial, no obstante animaría a nuevos miembros de esta lista tomaran el deber para promoverlo y para animar a otros usuarios de habla hispana que ensamblen. Pienso que viendo noticias en la lengua materna sea la manera más eficaz de construir a la comunidad. También, si los altavoces de otras idiomas también quisieran hacer que las listas instalen, y puedo resolver las mismas condiciones que fueron resueltas para la lista española, las crearé también.

Shorter way to import eps, and general question extensions under windows
by Christian Tuma 08 Sep '05

08 Sep '05

Hello, as mentioned several times in this mailing list, the eps-import in inkscape works via subsequent conversions to .ps, .sk, and finally .svg. For this purpose I tried to install all required packages on my windows machine, but for some reasons 'sketch' seems to be a little problematic (doesn't start and doesn't include 'skconvert' which is required in the last conversion step in sk2svg.sh). Fortunately, 'pstoedit' has two ways to produce svg-output. For some reason, "-f svg" doesn't work well, but "-f plot-svg" seems to do the job. I tried this on the command line and opened the svg-file successfully in inkscape. Given that, the extension script 'eps_input.inx' could be changed to call 'pstoedit -f plot-svg' to let inkscape read in the svg-output in a more efficient way than before. Now my problem: I didn't manage to change 'eps_input.inx' to do exactly this on my windows machine: <inkscape-extension> <name>EPS Input</name> <id>org.inkscape.input.eps</id> <dependency type="executable">pstoedit.exe</dependency> <input> <extension>.eps</extension> <mimetype>image/x-encapsulated-postscript</mimetype> <filetypename>Encapsulated Postscript (*.eps)</filetypename> <filetypetooltip>Encapsulated Postscript</filetypetooltip> </input> <script> <command reldir="path">pstoedit.exe -f plot-svg</command> </script> </inkscape-extension> What's wrong here? Is there anything special with windows here? I have no idea about the syntax or language at all in these extension scripts ... I'm not sure if 'pstoedit' gets executed at all. Maybe a problem with stdin, stdout, piping, etc. ? Help is much appreciated. Thanks. Christian.

RE: [Inkscape-user] CMYK Serious good for the Press
by Hibbs, Phil 07 Sep '05

07 Sep '05

>Inkscape, does not have CMYK. It's this kind of deficiency, which as I understand is a deficiency in the svg format, that leads other graphics apps to have their own native format (.psp for Paint Shop Pro, .xcf for The Gimp, etc.) because sometimes you need to carry extra information from one editing session to the next that cannot be conveniently stores in the standard file formats (.bmp in the old days, then .eps or .jpg, nowadays .svg, .png, etc.) I guess it's a deliberate decision on behalf of the Inkscape team to stick scrupulously to the .svg format, this may even be one of the reasons for forking the project in the first place, but it does have consequences. Would it be practical to store colour separation info a comment? Also on the subject of CMYK, I was trying to enter C:10 M:20 Y:30 K:40, but when I enter the Y:30 it changes to C:0 M:11 Y:22 K:10, so I am left guessing what to enter in the K: field to get the desired equivalent colour (probably 40, but I don't really know enough colour theory). This seems a little over-zealous to me. I'll go take a look at the feature/but requests surrounding CMYK as that is probably a more appropriate forum for discussion than the user list. __________________________________________________ Phil Hibbs | Capgemini | Rotherham Technical Consultant __________________________________________________ This message contains information that may be privileged or confidential and is the property of the Capgemini Group.

Anti-aliased
by Raeth 06 Sep '05

06 Sep '05

Greets, A friend and I were working in Inkscape, and due to the slowness of his computer, the going was, well, slow. To counter this, we searched for a way to turn the anti-aliasing off, but could not find it anywhere. Maybe there should be an option to? Some people might need the accuracy of sharp edges for editing sometimes. Can anyone help? Thanks! Raeth

Snapping when drawing vs. snapping when editing
by Tobias Eitel ... unterwegs ... 06 Sep '05

06 Sep '05

Hi, I am using the 0.42 release and I love the improvements, especially concerning the text and gradient tools. But now here is my problem: I have set up a grid with spacing of 5 px and snap distance of 2px. Options "Snap bounding box to grid" and "Snap points to grid" are turned on. Now when I draw a rectangle, I get exactly what I want. The origin and the end point of the rectangle snap nicely to the grid. But when I edit the points of the rectangle (with the rectangle tool or the node edit tool), they do not snap to the grid any more. They can be placed anywhere between the grid points. Is this a bug or just something I do not understand about these options? OK, I experimented a little and found out that I get the desired snapping behaviour when I convert the rectangle to a path. But my question remains: Why is there a difference between drawing a rectangle (snapping ok) and editing the points of the rectangle (no snapping until converted to path)? This makes me think that there are different functions for the same thing. T.E. ___________________________________________________________ Gesendet von Yahoo!

An Inkscape mascot is definately needed
by Karol Krenski 06 Sep '05

06 Sep '05

Hi list, The logo is not enough guys, there should be some maskot for inkscape. Linux has one, gimp has one, mozilla has one. The sooner it happens, the better. I created some mice with inkscape recently: http://www.inf.sgsp.edu.pl/pub/MALUNKI/incoming/ and if you like the idea I could create some inkscape related mice or similar animals, like http://www.inf.sgsp.edu.pl/pub/MALUNKI/2004/qcad2.png I've created some mascot-logos already and personaly I believe animal-mascots that can be drawn with hands and fingers (hard with birds or tuxes) are best, because various objects can be nicely put in their hands. I don't want to force myself into official inkscape logo author, so the contest could be a good idea too. Karol

Effect Wishlist
by Ted Gould 05 Sep '05

05 Sep '05

In talking with Aaron a while back he mentioned that sometimes it is hard to come up with ideas for good effects. I was thinking about it, and I'm willing to bet that the user community has some good ideas. This isn't a call for "features" (i.e. layer dialog) more like quick little things that you can already do in Inkscape, but it takes a few steps. You do it often enough that it would be really cool to have a "one click" way to do it. Typically something that takes 5-10 steps is good (too few it isn't worth doing, too many, it may be too complex). Try to include a description of the idea, how you could do it in Inkscape today, and what kind of application you have in mind for it. Including how to do it in Inkscape today helps new users learn techniques, even if they never get made into effects -- so make sure to be clear for them! I've included a few that have been bouncing around in my head below. If anyone wants to implement any of these, ask for help on -devel. We'd be happy to help and get you started on your way. --Ted -- Zealous crop -- Many times when I'm drawing something for a website I draw it, and then I want the document size to be the same as what I drew. This can be done by selecting all the objects, looking at the size of the bounding box, and then adjusting the document properties appropriately. The size of the bounding box is shown in the secondary toolbar when selecting objects. But, it would be really cool to just click "Crop to drawing" and have this happen for me. -- Desaturate -- Sometimes I think that I'd like to see the image I'm working on in black and white (or, more correctly, greyscale). It would be cool if there was one command to change all the fill, stroke, and gradient colors to be totally desaturated. Realistically, it should be every selected object, so that I can make a rose that is in color stand out on a desaturated background. (Note: one tricky part here is that you need to watch for shared objects that are used more than once. If a gradient is used twice, and only one of those shapes is desaturated, a second gradient will need to be created) -- Align by font size -- I haven't decided whether I like this effect or not, but it seems to be popular. Basically people seem to be taking a block of text, and to make it align on the left and right sides, they adjust the size of the font for that line. So the text: I love elephants might have the font sizes of 36, 24, and 10 for each word respectively. (I didn't do the math, I'm just trying to make an example, don't go and see if those are the right sizes). To do this in Inkscape today you'd have to manually adjust the font sizes until it looked good, which can take a while.

full memory pblm
by Tristan Lefebure 05 Sep '05

05 Sep '05

Hi all, I could not manage the way to work with quite big svg files. I'm usually working with R (statistic program), export plot to ps or svg, and then tune my figures with inkscape. The problem is that when svg files are rather big (few Mb), inkscape uses all the RAM and finally all the swap.... my laptop freezes. Is there a way to work with big svg files with inkscape ? As an example, find an svg files (5.6 Mb) at http://serv-umr5023.univ-lyon1.fr/~tlefebure/tmp/test.svg and screenshot of inkscape with the memory tracer open at http://serv-umr5023.univ-lyon1.fr/~tlefebure/tmp/capture1.png . My laptop (512 Mb of RAM, and 700 Mb of swap) freezes when I try to export a png of this file. inkscape.i386.0.42-2.fc4 on fedora core 4 thanks for any help... tristan

I like the solution, Adam, it's very practical. I was (secretly) trying to understand a bit more about the various path operations and how they can be combined. I couldn't find a combination to get visible elements bounded by paths to be coloured - I guess it's analogous to a fill operation in a rasterised environment. There isn't a direct analogue, but hoping to find something which will do the job.

Gimp Conference 2006
by David Neary 04 Sep '05

04 Sep '05

Eat Frog's Legs and snails in garlic butter! Enjoy the refreshing taste of duck liver! Eat baked pig intestines (a local speciality)! Come to Lyon for the GIMP Conference, 2006! We're in the early stages of the planning - and now's the time to stand up & be counted. The GIMP conference, which may become a more general Free Graphics conference, if other people like the idea, will be held in CPE, Lyon, in March or April 2006. We have 4 possible weekends (Friday/Saturday/Sunday) available. The first is the weekend of St. Paddy's Day (the patron saint of Guinness), and David Odin's birthday - 17/18/19 March. The second is the weekend afterwards, when there's not much on - 24/25/26 March The third is the birthday of Dave Neary (me!), and April Fool's Day (think of the press release possibilities!) - 31 march/1/2 April. The last one - 7/8/9 April. We need to decide when the conference will be on soon, to reserve space in the university, get in contact with youth hostels, figure out what's going to happen, and work up some sponsorship. Once the dates are fixed, I'll send a follow-up announcement (if there are dates that are definitely out for you, let us know now). Everyone's welcome! Spread the word! Bring your dog! (But tie them on a leash outside) Bring your partner! (Lyon's lovely in March) We're looking forward to having you all. Cheers, Dave. -- Dave Neary bolsh@...1045... Lyon, France
