Dumb Inkscape questions...
by John Cradock 11 Feb '06

11 Feb '06

Hello all. A couple of dumb questions (or maybe one two-part question). How do I change the default fill and stroke colors? In other words, right now if I use the "star" tool, the fill color is yellow. How do I change that. Same question on the strok color. I know the answer is probably very simple. I just can't find it. Thanks!

clipboard not working?
by Thetargos 10 Feb '06

10 Feb '06

Hello again, it's me with yet another issue with Inkscape 0.43, this time the clipboard. I don't seem to be able to copy elements from one window to another. I do remember, however that this was possible to do with Inkscape 0.42 and 0.41; on 0.43, however I'm unable. Whenever I copy a group, shape or anythin of the sort to the clipboard, change the window and try to paste it, I get a message that the clipboard is empty. I assume that each window has, then its own clipboard, as I can paste stuff copied from a window within that same window; either that, or two different Inkscape will spawn two copies of the program and thus two clipboards. I still have to see how does opening a new .svg from the "Open" dialog within the application reacts instead of launching Inkscape from the MIME association in the filemanager (GNOME and Nautilus in my case)... Little, tiny update: Indeed. Apparently when opening an .svg from the filemanager other than the one you are alrady working with, it will spawn a new copy of Inkscape, and thus a new clipboard, where as when opening another .svg from within Inkscape, the two windows will share the same clipboard... Still, I don't remember this behavior with 0.42 and 0.41. I know I have already answered my original question, but still, why is this the case? And (I know there's going to be people who won't agree with me on this) this is actually a great thing! As you can work on several projects at the same time several files each with several instances of the program opened, and they will not interfere with each other. Excellent!

gradients in objects
by Thetargos 08 Feb '06

08 Feb '06

Why do gradients seem to be a separate entity from a shape? I'm currently trying to draw a shape and have its color as a gradient, using the fill tool. However, when I move the shape around to where I need it to be placed, it would seem as if the gradient is a separate object, as the shape "decolorates" as I move it about the canvas. How can I make the gradient "stick" to the shape? Is it even possible? Thank you.

problems with dual displays
by Mark Ainsworth 08 Feb '06

08 Feb '06

Help someone please. I've been using inkscape on a laptop with dual monitor output. My main window is on the default desktop, and all option etc. windows are on the extended desktop (windows xp). I'm now working at home and don't have a second monitor. Unfortunately I forgot to move the "document properties" dialog back onto the default monitor before shutting down inkscape. So now when I try and open up the dialog it doesn't appear. Where are the settings saved for these dialog boxes so I can "edit" it back onto the default monitor? There doesn' t appear to be an "open dialogs on default monitor" option. Many thanks Mark

will inkscape satisfy my requirement , i need some advice about choosing SVG editor for cading ...
by Legolas Woodland 07 Feb '06

07 Feb '06

HI I should write a new application to handle some graphical requirement , now i have come here to ask you about it and i would be happy to get your advice Here is almost a complete description of my requirement I should develop an application to control a marking machine , A marking machine is a machine capable of marking some shapes / texts on metal, wood, glass surfaces. the requirement for project is : 1-the GUI interface should be capable to draw cad shapes , things like : Circle , Polygon ,.... . I read the SVG spec and i find that SVG itself has all shapes that i need as basic elements. so my first requirement is satisfied with any OSS Graphical SVG editor. 2-second feature is , CAD like capabilities , there should be some kind of ruler , Grid to guide the users about what they are drawing and a precision about 1/10 mm . 3-one thing that is very important is , software should be able to return all points in the drawing pane , for more explanation : imagine that i draw a line on the GUI interface (in drawing pane) , now i should be able to retrieve all of its points , or at least all important points (Start and END). by all points i mean the pixels or logical points that are arranged side by side to produce the shape. for example a circle could be produced by an 80 side polygon , i should be able to retrieve each side (which is a line) start and end coordination. 4-This requirement is something that made me crazy right now -i developed an application with Delphi but i stopped with texts there is no way that i can find al points that produce some parts of a character in Delphi and graphical pane that i used for drawing- The software that I'm going to start and complete in *Java/C++/.... *based on one of the available OSS editor should be able to give me important points or all drawing points of texts that are reside on its visual editor. for example , you imagine that some one need to mark an HLM on one of its metal surface , he/she come to my software and write that characters on graphical editor pane , s/he change is font... and then press the Mark button , Now i should be able to retrieve all points that created H (or all important points that one can create H using them and some simple drawing algorithms) and send them to Serial port and from there to mechanical sections of machine. right now all section of machine are complete , my Delphi software can communicate with it (I simply can arrange a java or C++ software to communicate with my hardware controller) Now my question for help is more clear , so i would welcome any comment / help / advice on this topic I should say that , i find some suitable DXF library in Java which i can use to import DXF files into my java application , I know XML processing so processing SVG files would not be so hard for me to learn.
