Inkscape for windows
by Leopold Palomo Avellaneda 10 Oct '06

10 Oct '06

Dear people, first off all I have to say that I'M NOT A WINDOWS USER. After, my boss, that is a windows user, would like to use inkscape. We have tried to install it and basically we didn't have any problem. The question is that we would like to know which dependencies needs inkscape to run in windows, because we cannot use any import feature. So, we cannot open any ps, eps, etc file. We have tried to install python and perl, (without any success, or the import feature doesn't work four us), but I have to say that I don't know very much the windows platform (I'm very happy with the apt-get ;-) So, please, could you tell me which software is necessary/recommend to run a full inkscape in the Win platform? Somethink like to build it: x, y, z: To run it, xa, yb, etc. Best regards, Leo -- Linux User 152692 Catalonia

An Inkscape mascot is definately needed
by Karol Krenski 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

Inkscape Book update
by Tavmjong Bah 31 Aug '05

31 Aug '05

Hi, In celebration of the 0.42.2 release, I have made a new release of my book on Inkscape. It now covers more that 90% of the Inkscape user interface. It is still a work in progress. The chapters at the beginning and end need work and it is a bit short on examples. The book documents v0.42. It will be updated for v0.43 when that release gets closer in time. You can have a look at: http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/index.php Constructive comments and corrections are always welcome. Tav PS. Would it be possible to add a link to the book from the Documentation page ( http://www.inkscape.org/doc/index.php ) ?

color sets generator
by Alexandre Prokoudine 30 Aug '05

Hi, Because it was asked here before :) I've just discovered a small nifty utility to generate color triads: http://home.gna.org/colorscheme/ You will need gtkmm (>2.5) and libgnomeui (>=2.0). Alexandre

Postscript and PDF: Text not as path
by Bernhard Walle 29 Aug '05

29 Aug '05

Hello, is there an option so save text as text in Inkscape when exporting Postscript or PDF? Something must be implemented because when saving as EPS, there is a checkbox for this, but this is missing for PS and PDF. It would be very nice because the display quality in Adobe Reader is much better and the text can be copied. Regards, Bernhard

optimize SVG
by Adib Taraben 29 Aug '05

29 Aug '05

Hello all, once upon a time ..., no seriously couple of weeks ago I have been contacted by Joseph Merdas ( shemeri_at_hotmail_dot_com ). He writes a thesis about optimizing SVG. He had couple of questions and needed some answers. I promised him to contact the inkscape list with the many friedly peopels dealing with svg every day for further feedback and background info. Joseph examines how to optimize SVG in different ways: -optimize for render speed, -optimize for size -etc He has ideas about some tricks that also inkscape is using by simplify feature, also reordering the elements, moving the attributes, etc. One of his concerns is that the change in the structure of a document may corrupt the document for build-in ECMA-script proccessing. Because the elements are differtly orderd, are vanished or have different attributes etc. and so the DOM is deifferent. Now he has the first result ready. An java implemented optimizer, that also checks the rendering results. I would please everyone to give some feedback. His project page can be found at: http://myfriendsnet.com/svg/survey.php Many thanks, Adib.
