Announce SVG::Metadata 0.16 release
by Bryce Harrington 30 Sep '04

30 Sep '04

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

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
