document templates
by Stefan Seefeld 19 Oct '04

19 Oct '04

hi there, I'm looking for software to help me designing CD labels, and so I tried a variety of tools, all raster based. It strikes me that a vector-drawing editor would be a better fit (IMO), and so I wonder whether inkscape has support for this kind of thing. I believe all that is required is a way to import document templates that provide the 'frame' for users to draw into. Is that true ? If so, the 'glabels' application comes with an impressive set of templates (in xml) which could probably be converted to something inkscape can use. Would that be an option ? Regards, Stefan

Importing a logo to Inkscape
by Alberto Simões 18 Oct '04

18 Oct '04

Hi I need to import two logos for a work I'm doing in inkscape. One of them is eps, tiff or jpeg. As I need quality for A3 paper, I needed eps. Inkscape does not load eps. pstoedit does not export to svg (the plugin fails). Ideas? THe other is in FreeHand. I managed to convert to Illustrator, but ImageMgick convert also don't convert it at all. Ideas? THanks. Cheers -- Alberto Simões

Hello, I just noticed that changing the color of a line won't change the color of the arrow-head. Is this on purpose? Is there are workaround other than drawing one's own arrow? best regards Steffen -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/

When you say that it is a bit fiddly to scale it back to the correct size... have you done it numerically? Such as right-clicking on the image and going into 'image properties' and modifying the width and height that way?

Hello, I'd like to embed some SVGs in XHTML. I'd use the object-Element of (X)HTML for that task. I'd like to scale the SVG to fit the dimensions given by the object-element via its width- and height-attributes. Is that possible? What would I have to add to my svg-file or to my html? best regards Steffen

I've been working some with inkscape some and I have a problem I'm not sure how to solve. Let me draw a simple diagram: +----------+ | Box 1 | +----------+ / / +----------+ | Box 2 | +----------+ Is there a way I can exactly line up the end of those points to the center of each box? The top point of the line to the middle of Box 1 and the bottom point to the middle of Box 2. I didn't know if there was a good way to do this. Any ideas appreciated. Thanks

Performance Qs...
by Joshua A. Andler 13 Oct '04

13 Oct '04

I have just a few Qs regarding performance that I'm just curious about (not complaints, just wanting to understand). 1) Why does inkscape respond much slower when moving grouped/multiple items via arrow keys vs mouse? 1a) Why does it take so long to regain control of objects when they've been moved? (once again, those grouped/multiple objects) 2) Why does it sometimes take up to 2 mins to start responding again after moving grouped/multiple items (via KB)... longest I've seen by mouse is 20 seconds? (sometimes processor is pegged, other times only using 3%, but still not responsive) 3) Why does inkscape explode in RAM so much? Basically if I have an 800k document, why would inkscape be using 133megs of RAM (not always, but if working with it for like 30mins), vs a smaller (500k) document that only uses like 40megs. Thanks -Josh

Splitting one large image into several small
by Frans Englich 11 Oct '04

11 Oct '04

Hello all, I have a problem which perhaps isn't strictly related to Inkscape, but perhaps you now the solution for anyway, if it's not possible to solve with Inkscape. I have large SVG images which at the end will be transfered to wood -- they are lineart blueprint acting as templates which the wood will be cut after. The blueprint are large -- 0.5m x 1.0m -- and it's too expensive for me to let a printing office print them, so I am looking for alternative solutions. My plan is to apply a grid on the image, chop it into A4 chunks, and play puzzle afterwards. But how do I convert this large SVG image(or converted to any other format) into a "mosaik" of small images, suitable for printing? Manually would take too long and be too error prone. Anyone has an idea? Cheers, Frans

Visio similarity?
by unknown＠example.com 11 Oct '04

11 Oct '04

Hi inkscape folks, I only recently got attracted to this project. The thing that attracted my attention is your aim - among others - to offer an open-source replacement for MS-Visio. Now, what I have mostly been doing with Visio as a developer is modelling software development, with methodologies, like ERD-, or all kinds of UML-diagramms. My question is: do you have the goal or plan - and if yes, when - to add similar features and patterns to inkscape? If it is not in your plans, does anybody of you know an open source software for the above described activities? (I don't Poseidon to it) Thanks a lot in advance ===== ------------------------- Xenofon Grigoriadis Pfarrer-Martini-Straße 22 53121 Bonn Tel:0179/1024651 e-mail: xgrigoriadis@...266... ------------------------- ___________________________________________________________ Gesendet von Yahoo!

front-back print regitration
by Lee Harr 08 Oct '04

08 Oct '04

Hi; I want to print on both the front and back of a piece of paper and have things line up (close to) right... Nothing fancy (home inkjet printer) -- within a couple of millimeters would be fine. Does anyone have a "registration" template to get the correct offset for my printer, in to which I could set my document for printing after I get everything lined up? Or some other (better ;o) suggestions? I don't want to reinvent any wheels here, and my googling has not been very productive. Thanks for your time. _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

unable to do easy landscape work
by Jeremy C. Reed 06 Oct '04

06 Oct '04

I wanted to print landscape pages. I could choose layout of landscape and I could also choose paper size to reflect landscape size but printing always came out in normal and a lot of my image was chopped off. If I got it to print in landscape mode, then my image or text would be printed wrong direction. My only solution was to rotate my text or image objects 90 degrees (on the display). But that made it hard to read and use for text entry. This was with inkscape-0.38.1. I looked in the FAQ and searched the bug tracker but no note of it. I was unable to get to CVS to find a changelog to review (blame that on Sourceforge). Please consider placing a changelog linked from front page or close by. If it is there, please point me to it. Anyways, my question is: how can I print to landscape mode while my display accurately shows my work without having to turn my head sideways? I am not on this list; please post if moderated. And please CC me on replies. Thank you. Jeremy C. Reed BSD News, BSD tutorials, BSD links http://www.bsdnewsletter.com/ p.s. Anyone use pkgsrc? I will import the new version of inkscape into pkgsrc soon.

SVG::Metadata 0.16 has been released to CPAN and will become available shortly at: https://pause.perl.org/pub/PAUSE/authors/id/B/BR/BRYCE This release enables the --delete option to work for individual svg files specified on the commandline. This capability removes the metadata from the svg image, which is useful if you wish to replace it with new metadata.

nice eps output
by Chris Pickett 29 Sep '04

29 Sep '04

Hi, First of all, I really really love inkscape, and am using it for all my technical drawings. If it had support for easily adding text to objects, and connection points, it would be even better ... but I'm sure these things or similar things have already been requested. I would like to include the attached inkscape .svg file in a latex document. Using the png might work, except that I can't use pdflatex because I am making slides with prosper (which uses eps and is therefore incompatible with pdflatex ...). So I am stuck with eps. If I export it to eps, it renders badly in all viewers I've tried, whether in eps or pdf form (gsview, ggv, acroread, gpdf). I can get it to look nice if I import a png into the gimp and flatten the layers in the image, and then export to eps. However, this (a) is somewhat painful (especially for tens of images), and (b) doesn't preserve the image perfectly. Is there any way to get eps files out of inkscape that the viewers I've listed (preferably acroread) will display properly, without taking the svg->png->eps multi-application route? Thanks, Chris P.S. I have gotten nice eps files out of inkscape before, but only black and white ones without any transparency / alpha-channel stuff.

units
by Aaron and Sarah Spike 28 Sep '04

28 Sep '04

The other day I was trying to draw a path to scale in inkscape 0.39 (Debian unstable) so that I could borrow the path data, put it into a pdf and print a path to scale spanning multple pages. I noticed that I don't quite understand units in inkscape and I was hoping someone could help me understand. On the page tab of the document preferences dialog Inkscape appears to use 72 points to one inch. The units in the path data seem to be 90 units to one inch. What units are these? Is there a way to make Inkscape store the path data units as inches or centimeters? If I change the grid units to inches in a new document, the ruler inches change to inches. When I open the document again for editing the ruler units switch back to the default mm and the grid units stay inches. Is there an independant way to control the ruler units or a way to sync them with the grid? Is there a way to change the cursor position units? They default to points but change to ruler units while transformig objects. Thank you, Aaron Spike

Printing Oddities
by Veall, Crispin 22 Sep '04

22 Sep '04

Hi All, I seem to be having great difficulties printing anything from inkscape onto my printer (Epson Stylus Photo 870). If I attempt to print anything, it comes out as a large grey square, with the vaguest hint of the darkest parts of the image elongated down the right-hand side. I've tried using print direct, print image as bitmap and piping through lp, and kprinter, to no avail. I can print out to a laser printer at work, but that's a raw PS one. Any suggestions on what to check, how to narrow down the culprit, or how to clarify what's wrong most welcome. I've tried to compile inkscape with --gnome-print, but that completely failed (I've raised a bug on this). Apart from that, I'm really impressed with Inkscape - a big thankyou to all who've helped with it. Cheers, Crispin

gtkmm-2.4 required for cvs
by Michal Zeravik 12 Sep '04

Hi, I'm very curious and try to get cvs state, but I've got error message during configure that gtkmm-2.4 is required. I'm using updated fedoracore2, but there are gtkmm1210-1.2.10-2 gtkmm2-2.2.12-1.1 gtkmm2-devel-2.2.12-1.1 gtkmm1210-devel-1.2.10-2 packages installed. Should I wait for gtkmm2-2.4.*.rpm or you can help me? Michal

Crash occuring when copying an object with tile fill.
by Lee McLain 11 Sep '04

11 Sep '04

Hi Everyone, I have gotten this crash to occur almost a dozen times, so at least it's consistent! The first step is copying an object from one document to another that contains a tile fill. When the object is pasted, it does not contain the tile fill from the other document. Then, when the fill/stroke dialog is either selected or turned on, Inkscape crashes comletely. Most of the time it will save a work-in-progress(very nice!) I am running Inkscape 0.39 on my HP ze4125 laptop running Suse 9.0, kernel 2.4.21-243 with 256mb RAM. The bug has been logged on the SF bug tracker list. Thanks, Lee

Fill/Gradient changes since .39?
by Joshua A. Andler 09 Sep '04

09 Sep '04

I have a drawing that I've been working on and it's slowly coming together (done 100% in inkscape baby!), however if I open it in any of the newer builds since .39 (the autobuilds by Daniel) some of the places where I have some gradients and transparency are being "rendered" differently. I don't want to say they're displaying "wrong" (given I don't know what modifications have been made to source and it may have always done it wrong before and now it's fixed), but it's definitely not the same as it used to be... Here's a link showing a comparison of old & new, so perhaps someone can help me to understand what's different. http://scislac.com/ink/inkprob.jpg As you can see, the one on left is the way I intended, and the right is just "rendering" things much differently. The translucent part of her shirt appears to just be mostly clear... the gradient objects I have on the midriff area (skin shading) are also not looking the same... and the biggest change of all is all the stuff with the skirt. There are many objects that are used to achieve the effects needed (lighting/shading mostly), and when it shows them, it displays how truly crude my work is... but hey it's faster & easier. Back on topic... so does anyone know if this is because of a permanent change that was made? Or is it a temporary thing? My main concern at this point is that some of the objects showing through the skirt are at a lower # in the z-order than the actual skirt, and I can't seem to get them "behind" it. So fixing it isn't working too well and it's not worth my time if this is a temporary issue (plus I'm curious as to what causes it). And this is a little OT, and probably belongs in another list... but... Does anyone know if there are plans to have better "node manipulation" tools? Meaning, the current way of being able to add nodes is ok... (a pain to work with for the most part... but can be VERY handy at other times) but are there plans to add a way to directly add nodes wherever you want on a line (versus the "in the middle" method)? I guess something akin to Illustrator's node tools where you directly work with them is what I'm looking for... Thanks! -Josh

Re : Various publications about Inkscape.
by Gazal, Geraud (MED) 09 Sep '04

09 Sep '04

Hi all, here is the sum up of the article I've read in Linux+ (French edition, Number 2, September/October 2004) Title : Inkscape, où vas-tu ? (Inkscape, where are you going ?) Author : unknown Sum-up : The article presents Inkscape as a drawing application, forked from Sodipodi (due to divergent goals and opinions about development-process) aiming at offering a free & SVG compliant software. The author points out that : Inkscape is undergoing a Gtkmm'ification' and that its development process is very open, allowing fast and efficient integration of new features (interface, booleans, autopackage) and in line with developers and users (even beginners) needs. He also notes that a clear Roadmap is identified. Open clipart is mentionned as a fast evoluting sister project. Apart from a few small mistakes (example Gtkmm'ification' is not finished) it provides a very positive feedback about the application If some of you can have an access to / afford buying another edition (English, German, Spanish, Polish...) it might be intersting to compare the different versions/translations I can scan and mail the French article to anyone asking for it. Regards, Matiphas PS : I've added a link about the linuxgraphix tutorial in the wiki. I can add this small review if you want.

Exporting to ps then opening in gimp results in just one layer/object showing - but this could be a transparency issue. I was trying to get further last night, and tried to print a png via a2ps. This was delegated to ImageMagick, which then proceeded to print nothing. I tried opening the png directly into IMageMagick. This showed up, but still wouldn't print (or rather this time printed a blank sheet of paper). I'm not sure if this helps... Thanks for your time, Crispin

OS/X problem: dialogs *above* tool tips and pop-up menus!
by Michel Schinz 08 Sep '04

08 Sep '04

Hi, I have recently installed inkscape on my Mac through Fink, and I have the following problem: the dialogs appear in front of all the other (X11) windows created by Inkscape, including tool tips and pop-up menus. This means that when I open the preferences dialog (for example), the tool-tips for the dialog's buttons appear *behind* the dialog itself, and the same goes for pop-up menus! This makes inkscape pretty hard to use, to say the least :-). I found out that I'm able to cycle through the various values of a pop-up menu using the mouse wheel, and therefore tried to change the value for "dialogs on top" (or something like this) from "None" to "Normal" and then "Aggressive", but this didn't solve my problem. I also tried to disable the "focus follows mouse" policy of my window manager (Apple's WM), without success either. Is there any Mac user out there with the same problem? Does anyone have an idea of how to fix it? (I must say that I have several other X11 applications on my Mac [OpenOffice, Gimp, XEphem and Scribus], and they don't have this problem). Apart from that, thanks to all the developers for the wonderful work on Inkscape! Michel.

best practices: Inkscape svg to native eps
by Joel Moxley 08 Sep '04

08 Sep '04

Hi yall. I've happily been using Inkscape since the Sodipodi fork without any problems. However, recently I attempted to prepare a few figures for publication as native eps files. I encountered the following issues, and wanted to ask for yalls input on best practices for accomplishing svg to native eps conversion. Simple example figure and inkview rendering: http://ppp250.mit.edu/jfmoxley/www/strainVerificationPCR.svg http://ppp250.mit.edu/jfmoxley/www/inkviewScreenshot.png The batik pretty print comes out a little goofy (the text is improperly placed): http://ppp250.mit.edu/jfmoxley/www/inkviewBatikScreenshot.png The adobesvg seems ok: http://ppp250.mit.edu/jfmoxley/www/adobesvgScreenshot.png But if I take the svg to Illustrator in Windows and save it as eps, it comes out goofy (the text is more slanted). http://ppp250.mit.edu/jfmoxley/www/illustratorepsScreenshot.png Also, after printing in inkscape, I lose the alpha transparency http://ppp250.mit.edu/jfmoxley/www/printedsvgScreenshot.png Anyways, I'd love any input yall had on "best practices" for postscript conversion! I use Inkscape-0.37 on a gentoo linux 2.4 platform. Thanks, J

Hi all, www.linuxgraphic.org is a French web site dedicated to graphic creation under linux (strange, isn't it ?). * Yesterday it has published a small tutorial (in French) dedicated to inkscape users (but applicable to any graphic creation app, I think) : how to have a 'mirror effect'. Quite nice. I will ask the site if they are ok if I translate this doc in English and then make it available from the inkscape website. The tutorial is there : http://linuxgraphic.org/section2d/articles/miroir_Inkscape/index.html * They've also announced the release of Open Clipart 0.06 on the main page. Linux+ (http://www.lpmagazine.org/en/modules/news/) European (Polish) magazine translated and published in French, English, German, Spanish and Czech has issued an article on Inkscape too. I have the French version. I'll produce a sum up + translation in English on mailing list. Regards, Matiphas

Printing Oddities in Inkscape
by Crispin Veall 08 Sep '04

08 Sep '04

Hi All, I seem to be having great difficulties printing anything from inkscape onto my printer (Epson Stylus Photo 870). If I attempt to print anything, it comes out as a large grey square, with the vaguest hint of the darkest parts of the image elongated down the right-hand side. I've tried using print direct, print image as bitmap and piping through lp, and kprinter, to no avail. I can print out to a laser printer at work, but that's a raw PS one. Any suggestions on what to check, how to narrow down the culprit, or how to clarify what's wrong most welcome. I've tried to compile inkscape with --gnome-print, but that completely failed (I've raised a bug). Apart from that, I'm really impressed with Inkscape - a big thankyou to all who've helped with it. Cheers, Crispin

Scale Journal 8/9 Call For Participation + Guest Editor Joel Swanson + http://scale.ucsd.edu/
by Jon Phillips 04 Sep '04

04 Sep '04

Greetings, + please forward + This email is a call for submissions from theorists and practitioners in the following fields: Art, Architecture, Communication, Comparative Philosophy, Computation, Computer Audio, Critical Theory, Design, Literature, Media (New and Old), Music, Performance, and Software Design. SCALE (http://scale.ucsd.edu) would like to encourage you to submit "work" for its upcoming online-only August & September issue. SCALE is a non-profit journal that explores new modes of production and dissemination based on open-source and networked communities. The theme for the August/September SCALE is APOCALYPSE. As we look forward to the coming election in November, it seems prudent to reinvest ourselves in exploring the possibilities of our own self-destruction. Often rooted in religious and science-fiction genres, apocalyptic themes have proven fruitful as a framework from which to question our collective hopes, fears, and concerns, on a local and universal scale. In your submissions, feel free to explore and exploit your personal imaginations of APOCALYPSE as a loose starting point for your submission. Please keep in mind that SCALE likes to abide by terms obliquely, and as such encourages all types of submissions, from dirty sketches and musings, to polished images and essays. Initially formulated within the graduate programs of the Visual Arts at the University of California, San Diego, SCALE was created by Jon Phillips (http://www.rejon.org) and Patrick W. Deegan (http://www.pwdeegan.org) as a strategy of response to a growing interest in developing Open Source communities across the globe. SCALE is a monthly publication living in both PDF print and online PDF/WIKI format. +++++++++++++ SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS: + Additional instructions for submission can be found at http://scale.ucsd.edu under “Read the File and Style Guidelines.” + Text or Image submissions must be in PDF format NOT exceeding 10MB and 8.5” x 11”in dimension. Because this month is ONLINE-ONLY, color submissions are encouraged. Images must be 300dpi. + Multimedia submissions will be hyperlinked for download from a page within in the compiled PDF publication. If submitting a file for linkage, it is recommended you also submit some type of graphic image in consideration of how your piece will be represented in the layout. By doing so, we can include the URL to your file within the image provided by you. If other circumstances are desired, please let us know. + For Multimedia submissions, please upload the actual file and NOT the URL to where it is located on behalf of your own site. WE WILL BE HOSTING THESE FILES ON THE SCALE SERVER. However, mentions of your respective websites are allowed. + All work submitted will be initially accredited to you unless suggested otherwise, however, in its online format the work will be deemed Open Content (as defined by http://www.creativecommons.org) and could possibly be subject to artistic reinterpretation (at a later date) on behalf of SCALE’s community of readers. +++++++++++++ DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS: + The submission process begins now and ends effectively on Monday, September 20, 2004. + In the week to follow, we will be compiling and publishing the online-only August/September issue. + Submissions, progress, and status can be immediately checked online. +++++++++++++ If you have any questions, please contact any of us directly.

> But how to `modifie with the mouse` the object below ? > For example : > I select an object that is below an other, > and after this want to move it; a click-drag on this selected area > select and move the object at the top. You can resize/rotate/skew the object that you selected by alt-click as usual with handles, and you can move it with arrow keys (I always use arrows for moving). However you are right that dragging such object with mouse won't work because it will switch the selection to the topmost object again. I think what we need is a new Alt+drag mode which would mean "drag what is selected now, without selecting anything else no matter where I start the drag." I will think about it some more and if I don't find any problems with this idea I'll implement it.

So good (and so easy to hook up to Inkscape) that we added Potrace to Inkscape this weekend. :) It is in CVS now, in a limited fashion. Just select the image, and choose the "Trace bitmap" menu item. A dialog for adjusting parameters will be added later. But this simple implementation, with a hardcoded 50% brightness threshold seems to work fairly well. Thanks for the idea! Bob

ANNOUNCE Scribus 1.2 Released
by Atlantic Tech Solutions 29 Aug '04

29 Aug '04

The Scribus Team is pleased to announce the release of Scribus 1.2 - Open Source Desktop Publishing. The 1.2 release is the culmination of over 1 year of hard work since last year's 1.0 release. The Scribus team urges all users and distros to use this latest release. The Scribus Team is also proud to announce the first commercial implementation of Scribus for commercial newspaper production. Last month, the premier issue of Twin Tier Times, a US weekly newspaper was launched using a production workflow centered on Scribus and other Open Source applications including GIMP 2.0, Inkscape and others. Among the major changes and features in 1.2 since the release of Version 1.0: * A new EPS/PS importer, which can import EPS and PS files as vector or postscript outlines, which can then be edited as native Scribus objects. * A dedicated documentation site, http://docs.scribus.net has been implemented. There are French and German translations in progress. * Over 800 bug reports and user feature requests have been squashed. * Scribus now features a New from/ Save as Template plug-in, which enables end users to quickly generate preformatted documents. This is useful for both first time users, as well as experts. * The Scribus GUI is now translated into 27 languages. * Scribus 1.2 features new print previewer which has the ability to render CMYK separations on screen, transparency, UCR (Under Color Removal) to give users a true postscript generated preview of the page. * A new table feature to create basic tables within Scribus. * Many enhancements to text frames including multi-columned text, baseline grids, new contour options, tabs and drop caps. * Several new plug-ins for exporting documents as images, as well as special typography plug-ins for Czech, French and other languages. Scribus was chosen by Trolltech as one of their "Cool Applications". We on the Scribus Team are honored to be recognized as such and appreciate the recognition. The Scribus Team will present the first public demo at KDE Community World Summit 2004 "aKademy" 21-29 August, 2004 Ludwigsburg (Stuttgart Region), Germany. Enjoy!

Producing SVG input for Inkscape
by Bill Peel 28 Aug '04

28 Aug '04

Perhaps everyone knows about this already but I have found the free potrace program very useful for tracing bitmap line-art into svg format. The resulting svg file can then be imported into Inkscape for further manipulation. I have also produced diagrams using various LaTeX drawing macro packages in eps format, converted them to pbm format using Ghostscript and then to svg using potrace. This could be a way of converting suitable public domain clipart from bitmap format into svg format for use with Inkscape. Thanks Bill Peel
