Line marker colour
by Arnout Standaert 08 Feb '05

08 Feb '05

Hi guys, is there any intention of fixing bug #995815 for the 0.41 release? It's the bug where line markers (for instance, arrowheads) don't follow the colour of the line they're attached to. It's a bit of a showstopper for me and obviously a few other people too, judging from the bug tracker comments. I hope someone feels like fixing it soon... Thanks, Arnout

How can I define the exact position of a guideline? i.e. the x coordinate for the vertical ones and the y for the orizontals? Thank you, Cristian Balan

The fileformat allows for multiple pages, but Inkscape presently does not have the capability to edit such files. This feature will probably get added eventually, but it's not in the near term plans. Some people have good results at using Scribus; you can insert SVG created with Inkscape into Scribus for further layout and publishing. > 2) I want to have my grid and other measurements to be in inches.

We do not have documentation about managing units or the grid; if you'd be interested in writing something up that'd be a great addition. > 3) My wife used to use commercial and proprietary software that had > wizards and easy interface for making brochures and greeting cards.

Not that I know of. As I mentioned above, you may find it useful to put some time into learning Scribus. It provides a more complete featureset for doing printing, brochures, etc. However, you'll need to put some time into learning it, and the interface is distinctly different from Inkscape, so be forewarned about that. However, I've heard good comments about it from professional printers, so it may be well worth the time. Bryce

multi-page? default measurement units? wizard?
by Jeremy C. Reed 06 Feb '05

06 Feb '05

(I attempted twice to join this list yesterday but never received an email asking to confirm. Please carbon-copy me on replies.) Hello inkscape community: Thank you for inkscape. I have a few comments/questions. 1) Multi-page documents? My wife made a brochure but didn't like having to have two separate files for the outside and inside of her document. Does the file format allow multiple pages? And where is this documented? 2) I want to have my grid and other measurements to be in inches. Where can the default units be defined so when I start up inkscape it shows inches? Where is this documented? (I know how to change it for one session or per document but I want it as the default -- and should not require recompiling.) 3) My wife used to use commercial and proprietary software that had wizards and easy interface for making brochures and greeting cards. Using inkscape in addition to openclipart is a substitute, but still all the layout must be done, images found and saved, resized, etc. Any thoughts on a wizard or a simple interface to help?

Presentations with Inkscape
by Christoph Leuzinger 06 Feb '05

06 Feb '05

Hello, I'm currently preparing a talk and thus looking for a presentation software. The following criterias have to be met: * open source software * should either run on my Apple iBook, a NetBSD system, or both I've been toying with Inkscape lately, and I enjoyed drawing some figure for the talk. It's real fun to use all the nice features like rounded boxes, transparency, etc. Inkscape provides. So while I was at it, I just went ahead and created the correspondent presentation slide. It took some time until I actually discovered "inkview" -- you should definitely place a note somewhere, so people will find it! But this is just the thing I was looking for. No fancy transitions and other useless stuff, but clean font rendering and nice figures. Fonts actually render much cleaner than in Apple Works' presentations. It's a lot faster than batik-slideshow, plus it scales the slide down, so you don't have to worry about that when you draw it. So, I just wanted to thank you for this great piece of software, and keep it up! Just as a side note: I installed Inkscape 0.40 and all its dependencies from The NetBSD Packages Collection [1] both on NetBSD and Mac OS X 10.3, and it works like a charm. (Except that I cant get fullscreen output from inkview, but that may be related to Apple's X11 implementation.) [1] <http://www.pkgsrc.org/> Regards, Christoph
