New version of "Guide to Inkscape"
by Tavmjong Bah 15 Feb '06

15 Feb '06

Hello, I have uploaded a new version of the book "A Guide to Inkscape". Two new tutorials: 1. Creating a logo from a photograph with the help of auto tracing. 2. Creating an isometric projection (an idea suggested by Alain Viguier). Two new chapters: 1. "Using the Command Line" 2. "SVG and the Web" showing how to use SVGs on web pages (including very simple linking and animation). Additional web pages: 1. A download page for the graphics used by the tutorials. 2. A page showing the examples in the "SVG and the Web" chapter. 3. A page for testing web browser support of SVGs. You can find all this at: http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/ As always, comment are welcome. Enjoy, Tav PS. Can the powers who be add this notice to the Inkscape news?

Cannot print to letter size paper
by Art Fore 13 Feb '06

13 Feb '06

I am trying Inkscape and so far so good except for one thing, I cannot print to letter size paper. This is 0.42.2 in Suse 10.0. Printer is Laserjet 2300 (postscript) on USB. Set the media size to letter in yast, and then in KDE control panel to letter. Also set the print to PDF and Print to postscript to letter. Gnome configuration does not have anything that I could find for printing configuration, however, evolution and other gnome apps print fine. Why does not Inkscape have a printer configuration if it does not use the default cups config? Not much on the wiki about it either. Would sure like to use Inkscape, but unless I can print to letter size, it will be useless. Art

[Graphic]How to minimize a head movement when we just have a list of points
by Legolas Woodland 12 Feb '06

12 Feb '06

Hi Thank you for reading my post , and I'm sorry if this place is not suitable place for this question I have a long list of all pixels in a bitmap for example , i have all X,Y of all pixels and now i want to draw the bitmap using those X,Y s Problem is that i send all this points to a Robotic like machine , and machine will use this points to draw the bitmap (by using sequential hits) on a metal surface. as you know in such machine we should minimize head (mechanical tool that hit the surface to make the bitmap) movement to achieve better overall performance . Now i should find an algorithm or method to sort those X,Y points in a way that head movement become minimum. is there such algorithm around ? Please if i post in wrong forum , let me know right place for this kind of questions Thank you.

"Crayon" color picker
by John Cradock 12 Feb '06

12 Feb '06

This may be semi-off-topic, but if anyone has an answer for me, it may be the diverse group that uses Inkscape. My primary OS is Mac OS X, although I spend a lot of time in Linux and Windows. One feature in OS X that I just love for some reason is the "crayon" color picker. Does anyone know of anything similar to this that is available for Linux and/or Windows?
