wiggly lines, springs & coils
by Kasper Peeters 14 Nov '06

14 Nov '06

Is there a way to draw wiggly lines with Inkscape? (I don't mean hand-drawn wiggles, those are never regular; I need wiggles which have the same size everywhere on the path). A related question: is there a way to draw paths with a "spring" or "coil" shape superposed on it? Thanks, Kasper

Arrows
by Wolfgang Schulz 30 Oct '06

30 Oct '06

Hello, I following the Inkscape project for some time and 2 things prevent me of using it and also introducing it in our company (using the Windows version 0.44.1): - My colleagues have to draw some simple technical drawings with arrows. When I use the raster - draw a straight line - change the beginning and the end of a line to an arrow, The tip of those arrows are outside the end or the beginning of the line (start and endpoint are on the raster). I suppose this is a bug - please help me if I'm doing something wrong. - In the Windows Version I can't import any vector graphic other than SVG - at least I didn't find any option. Any hint is welcome. Is there any plan to add support for e.g. Corel Draw files? Thanks Wolfgang -- Der GMX SmartSurfer hilft bis zu 70% Ihrer Onlinekosten zu sparen!

NEW: two new examples
by bulia byak 27 Oct '06

27 Oct '06

With all the recent additions - clipping, masking, and especially blur - Inkscape is now able to produce extremely photorealistic art. In the share/examples folder in Inkscape distribution, you will find two brand new, stunningly realistic images of shiny cars: car.svgz by Konstantin Rotkevich and gallardo.svgz by Michael Grosberg. Enjoy! -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

[Fwd: Adding a new input device to inkscape - Trust TB-4200]
by Nicholas Robinson 27 Oct '06

---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- Subject: Adding a new input device to inkscape - Trust TB-4200 From: "Nicholas Robinson" <npr@...2032...> Date: Wed, 25 October, 2006 10:36 pm To: inkscape-users(a)lists.sourceforge.net -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm new to inkscape. I have a Trust TB-4200 graphics tablet that I would like to use properly with inkscape - i.e. make use of the pressure sensitivity. It works well as a pointing device, although it occasionally switches between behaving as a tablet and a mouse. Is there an easy way of adding this device to the list of known input devices? As installed, inkscape only knows of a Synaptics device - but enabling this stops the device working altogether. Thanks for any help you can give. Nick

Hi, I have created a SVG with regular and flowed text. When I view the SVG i my browser the flowed text does not show. Only if I convert it to a path (Object to Path). Is this the way to do it? Regrads, Jonas

Is there a way to set up inkscape so that it will open in Outline mode?
by Bibi Morris 26 Oct '06

I use Inkscape to create files for my Wishblade. There is an entire group of scrapbookers who use it for this purpose, we have figured out how to set our default view to landscape, but is there a way to change the display mode to Outline as a default? Thank in Advance Bibi

Remember window position?
by Michael Grosberg 26 Oct '06

26 Oct '06

CAn Inkscape be set up so that it remembers the position and status of the various windows between sessions? (whether a global or document-specific setting) I'd just like to have the layer and the fill and stroke windows visible and in place whenever I start inkscape.

Is it possible to make a line compose of small round dots. Inkscape is very good at making dashed lines, but I want one with dots. Like this: http://www.nuvox.com/images/home_hdr.gif
