Attaching path nodes to objects
by unknown＠example.com 19 Aug '05

19 Aug '05

Hi, I'm an Inkscape newbie; Is there any way I can attach a path node to something else (say, a shape)? so that, when the shape is moved, that node of the path moves with it, but the rest of the path stays put (so the shape of the path will change)? -- John.

Writing an extension
by Karol Kreński 18 Aug '05

18 Aug '05

I think I may have found the idea to resolve the issue I myself submitted: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1261413&group_id=9… I would like to try and write an extension in perl. I have never writen any plugin, but it looks possible for me to complete. After a quick look at perl dropshadow plugin and SpSVG.pm, the only problem I seem to have is how I should ask inkscape to pass the coordinates of selected nodes. It will have to be passed to my script together with object id. Can anybody help? Karol

>feel free to use any of my images from >http://simarilius.deviantart.com/gallery/ > >Cheers > >John Of course despite my having pointed out the problems with the GPL, all you need is for the image creator to say "You may use them in the article", and the GPL restrictions no longer apply, because the right to redistribute doesn't apply either. That is, in effect, a licence to use them in the article under normal copyright. __________________________________________________ Phil Hibbs | Capgemini | Rotherham Technical Consultant __________________________________________________ This message contains information that may be privileged or confidential and is the property of the Capgemini Group.

Hi, I noticed Print Direct disappears, so are you planning any neat print dialog with preview? It is long time needed feature. Is it able to set any printing preferences before just print? Michal

> >This was done with Effect->Interpolation. > File->Inkscape Preferences->Misc->Enable script effects [x] Thanks - how do I get this option to actually do anything? I selected both shapes and invoked the effect, nothing happened. I deleted the bottom group and tried the effect with nothing selected, and with just one object selected, and with both selected, nothing. In other news I have found a minor bug, do I report it here or should I join another list? __________________________________________________ Phil Hibbs | Capgemini | Rotherham Technical Consultant __________________________________________________ This message contains information that may be privileged or confidential and is the property of the Capgemini Group.
