when you create a text, instead of a single click, click and drag, so that
it will have a size to start with.
then, when you select the text box again and choose the edit tool (F2)
you'll be able to resize the text area dragging a sort of 'node'.
whas that it?

Print Margins
by Michael Pope
I'm running inkscape 0.43_1 on FreeBSD 5.4 & when I go and print it will
not display a config box where I can set margins. Is there anyway to
set margins when printing through inkscape? I can set some options if I
use Print Direct.
I'm not using CUPS because that crashes gnome ports (which includes
inkscape as it requires libgnomeprint).
The only way I can print correctly with margins at the moment is to
export each picture I want to a image and use another program to print
it correctly. This is annoying.

new path tool?
by j michaelson
hello,
i've been using inkscape to colour in cartoons. i've been doing this
by drawing a block of colour behind the outline, select both and use
the path division tool to seperate the excess colour from the bit i
want to keep. the problem is that the division tool cuts the outline
down to fit the colour. i've had to duplicate the outline first and
use that to do the division, then clean up the remnants of the
duplicated outline. this is obviously a slow and painful way of
working.
what i need is a path tool that does the division thing on the lower
vector (the colour) without affecting the upper vector (the outline).
is there such a path tool? if not, would it be hard to implement?
maybe it could be done with a script or something?
thanks.

keeping configuration of straight lines
by Marco A. S. Netto
Hi,
I'm trying to draw a set of blue straight lines with arrows but I
don't know how to keep
the configurations of my lines.
That is:
To make a blue straight line with an arrow I create a line and after I
use the fill and stroke window to set the arrow and the color of my
line. After this and I try to draw my second line, so I have to set
the arrow and the color again...
So, I'd like to draw the following lines with the same configuration
of my last one. Is it possible? When I draw rectangles inkscape keeps
the last configuration.
I'm using inkscape 0.43.
Thanks,
Marco

Blocking spam
by George V. Reilly
The irony abounds. I got a bounce like this on Sunday, when I attempted
to cast a "yes" vote for restricting the inkscape-user list to members only.

If this gets through, my ISP should have added a postmaster account.

Celebrity-worship and hero-worship should not be confused. Yet we confuse them
every day, and by doing so we come dangerously close to depriving ourselves of
all real models. We lose sight of the men and women who do not simply seem
great because they are famous but are famous because they are great.

linear transparency in bitmap patterns. Is it possible?
by Gilberto
Is it possible to change the transparency of one part of the bitmap
more than the other part?
You see this effect a lot, that the transparency is like a gradient.
For instance, look at the mirrored text in the following image:
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/teams/art.gnome.org/themes/splash_screens/...
Of course, this image can easily be done in Inkscape, given that the
font is available.
But imagine that the mirrored word 'gnome' is available as bitmap
only. That can't be done easily, because you cannot change the
transparency as a gradient. At least as far a I could figure out. Or
maybe I am missing something.
Any suggestions?

ATTN: Change to list access settings
by Bryce Harrington
This mailing list has now been modified to restrict posting only to list
members.
The proposal for this change was made on the "linear transparency in
bitmap patterns" thread. I said I would make the change if a dozen
people voted in favor, and no one voted to oppose. These conditions
were met decisively this evening, and so the change has taken affect.
The motivation for this change is that it will make it more difficult
for spammers to send spam to the list.
The one main downside to this change is that it will also make it more
difficult for Inkscape newbies to post questions. This was the original
reason why we did not set the list up this way.
However, we have comment forms on the website that people could use if
they really did not wish to join. Also, the inconvenience to users not
on the list needs to be weighed against the inconvenience of users *on*
the list.
As well, while this may inconvenience some users, this type of mailing
list setting is becoming more and more common, so should not be too
surprising to new users.
In addition, non-list members benefit from this change because the
online list archives will have less spam, and thus will be easier to
navigate through.
If anyone has any concerns, then now is the time to speak up!
Otherwise, this change will become permanent as of this time tomorrow.
Thanks,
Bryce
