Howto make 3D and transparency
by Louise Hoffman 08 Dec '05

08 Dec '05

Dear readers, I was wondering, is it possible to make bar charts like this one? http://www.heko.dk/~maj/bars.gif So far have I only tried to make simple 2D drawings in Inkscape. So does anyone know, if it at all is possible to make 3D stuff and transparency like this in Inkscape? Lots of love, Louise

PDF Export/Import via Cairo
by Bryce Harrington 07 Dec '05

07 Dec '05

Hi all, I talked with Carl a bit more today about the PDF functionality with Cairo and what it'd take to use it with Inkscape. Here's some additional info. Carl, correct me if I've captured any of this wrong. Some clarification on libsvg, when Carl said he wasn't supporting it, I interpreted this to mean it needed another maintainer. He clarified this; the reasons he had forked libsvg from librsvg originally was to try out replacing its libart backend with a cairo backend. Now that librsvg uses cairo as it's back end, there's no reason for libsvg to be used, and in fact it lacks capabilities that are in librsvg. So... The plan going forward would be this. svg2pdf as it exists now is probably ok for a start; it's at least better than we got now, and fits within our existing system. I think it's mainly going to be a packaging issue to hook it into our extension framework. Beyond that, svg2png needs to be modified to use librsvg instead of libsvg. This is probably a fairly simple task, as svg2png is a really short bit of code. I told Carl about UberConverter. He wasn't sure if the design of Cairo's PDF functionality would match UberConverter's structure, so a crs2pdf via Cairo may not be the right approach. Carl also mentioned something called Poppler(?) which does PDF _import_, that works in conjunction with Cairo, and that would give us a good round-trip to and from PDF. This sounds worth checking out. Bryce

Printing in Inkscape
by Brian Burger 07 Dec '05

07 Dec '05

Hi all, I'm running Inkscape 0.42 on Ubuntu 5.10, and I can't get Inkscape to talk to my printer... It's an HP Deskjet 5740, and Inkscape is pretty much the only app that won't work with it. I tried replacing "lp" in the printer dialogue command line with "lpr", but that didn't work either... is there some method of getting Inkscape to just talk to the Gnome Printer Manager for printing? I've tried exporting as EPS and PDF to print in other apps - Evince or Acroread - but exporting to those formats seems to mess up the SVG gradients, and exporting to another format just to print is a workaround, not a fix! Hopefully someone can help - I've had a look thru the documentation and some of the Inkscape websites with no luck so far... Brian

Onion skin ?...
by Klerman 06 Dec '05

06 Dec '05

Hello, I just downloaded InkScape, and I'm in the middle of reading tutorials and playing with it. What I can't find anywhere is how to trace a drawing using this program. I used to place the bitmap in a second layer and then using a pen tool I was able to trace it in another layer. What is the technique to achieve the same with InkScape ?. TVMIA, Klerman

Two new contests at deviantART!
by Joshua A. Andler 06 Dec '05

06 Dec '05

We have two new contests going over at deviantART! The first contest is for an Inkscape calendar (which has a deadline of next Monday, 12/12/05) and which we will be choosing 12 winning images. The second contest is for Inkscape T-shirt designs to help fund Inkscape development (which we have no arbitrary number of winners for, if it's good it'll probably be accepted as one of many designs). You can read more over at: http://inkscapers.deviantart.com/journal/7226595/ -Josh

Original icon: A landscape, made of ink. Modified icon: A landscape, made of ink, with a pair of googly eyes stuck on the mountaintop.
