Export selection
by Brett McCoy 03 Aug '05

03 Aug '05

I know I can do this to export PNGs, but is there a way to export/save selected objects in other formats (like TIFF or EPS). It seems I can only export an entire document... -- Brett ----------- Programmer by day, Guitarist by Night http://www.chapelperilous.net http://www.alhazred.com http://www.revelmoon.com

Node editing
by Hibbs, Phil 02 Aug '05

02 Aug '05

I'd like to know a little more about node editing. Nodes have two handles, which can be dragged around to produce the desired curve. I have used Corel Draw in the past so I am familiar with this concept. What I don't understand is how Inkscape decides whether the handles should be symmetrical or not, and how I make them line up. Sometimes I find that the node handles are already locked to point in opposite directions, and sometimes they are independent. How do I change this? Most of the time I want to make them line up but change the lengths of the handles independently. I think this may be because some paths are created with the "freehand lines" tool, and others with the "Bezier curves and straight lines" tool. That's how I created my example: http://www.hibbs.me.uk/images/handles.svg One of the mid-line nodes has handles that move sunchronously, the other has independent handles (so the node can represent a sharp corner). How do I change one type to the other? I just edited the sodipodi:nodetypes property from cscc to cssc and that did it, it initially rendered as a sharp corner but as soon as I dragged a handle, the other one snapped to be lined up with it. So, all I need to do is count the number of nodes and edit the appropriate character. Additionally, how do I add nodes to the middle of a path? Is there a "reverse simlpify"? :-) __________________________________________________ Phil Hibbs | Capgemini | Rotherham Technical Consultant __________________________________________________ This message contains information that may be privileged or confidential and is the property of the Capgemini Group.

Project status Aug 1, 2005
by Bryce Harrington 02 Aug '05

02 Aug '05

The Inkscape 0.42 release garnered a huge amount of interest, and are stats are reflecting it. We rose to the 3rd most active project of the week on SourceForge today. For downloads we reached 16th, for webpage views we were 10th, for project pages we got 21st, and for tracker activity we hit 4th. Counting all hits to *.sourceforge.net we hit 6th, which was up 68 ranks since yesterday. I have a suspicion we may be going up even a bit further over the next couple days. :-) There were a number of serious bugs found post-release, especially in the packaging, so a 0.42.1 patch release will be produced hopefully some time this week, as soon as resolutions to all the issues are found.

aligning to grid
by wayne 01 Aug '05

01 Aug '05

Objects seem to align to the grid 3 ways: to the center line of the object's outline, to the outer edge of the outline, or to the inner edge of the outline. This leaves some wiggle space which can throw off the manual aligning of several objects. Is there any way to turn off 2 of the 3 and get rid of the wiggle space? Thanks, Wayne Inkscape 0.42

I tried downloading and installing the rpm today but still no go. I am reading where some people are running .42 but I can't get anything to happen. .41 still installs and runs fine. Any word?

psfrag and latex
by Christopher Ellison 01 Aug '05

01 Aug '05

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=7389029&forum_id=375… There was a post a while back (in May) about about inkscape and exports to EPS for use with latex+psfrag. A response said that this was fixed in the CVS. 1) Exactly what version is this fixed in? In gentoo (unmasked version) I am running .41-r1. 2) Could someone explain a little more about the kerning and how it relates to the drawings? Specifically, what do I need to do (and what should I not do) to get my drawings usable with psfrag. Thanks.
