Major Issue
by Rick Spillane
I posted to the list before about this, but I guess I wasn't specific
enough. However has anyone else but me noticed that Export to Bitmap
doesn't really work? It seems to particularly break when you use
gradients with additional interpolation points at arbitrary offsets. I
find this particularly amazing since obviously the program is able to
rasterize to screen, however it seems incapable of redirecting this
same output to a memory buffer than PNGing it. How is Inkscape going
to print my drawing correctly if it can't even render it to a bitmap?
I only ask this because I am making a poster, and it costs a good
amount of money to print one of these suckers, I'd like to make sure
that I'm going to get what I expect first. Does anyone have any idea
of what is going on? I'd really appreciate any light that can be shed
on the matter, thanks!

How do you unlock objects?
by unknown＠example.com
Dear friend,
newbie here.
We have locked some objects (some rectangular shapes) on the
page, in order to work on the page without accidentally
modifying the objects.
How do you unlock them when you need?
Thanks in advance.

error with pdf: a resource is missing
by Marco A. S. Netto
Hello all,
I'm using inkscape to create some pdf pictures to include in my latex documents.
When I use some figures from openclipart in my documents, for example,
people/people_juliane_krug_08c.svg I receive the following message
from acroread: "A resource is missing".
I've never seen this problem before. Does anybody have any idea?
Thanks in advance,
Marco

Go figure.
by John R. Culleton
I downloaded the stable tarball to my Slackware system and
immediately ran into compile problems. So on a hunch I downloaded
Inkscape-current and it compiled like a champ.
I had previously downloaded/installed the Freerock gnome package. Slack no
longer contains Gnome.
BTW it still doesn't work:
---------------------------------------
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x0865ebc0 ***
Emergency save activated!
Emergency save completed. Inkscape will close now.
If you can reproduce this crash, please file a bug at www.inkscape.org
with a detailed description of the steps leading to the crash, so we can fix
it.
-----------------------------------------
I am thinking of adding another partition just to get a working
Inkscape. Is there a Linux distro that comes with Inkscape?

Best format for printing.
by John R. Culleton
When incorporating an Inkscape drawing in a printable document
wihich will be in pdf form, is the best choice to save the
drawing also as pdf?
When saving an Inkscape drawing in pdf form is the drawing still
a vector drawing or does it get translated to bitmap?

BUG in coordinate system (v0.44)
by Wolfgang
Hi,
I'm quite new to Inkscape but I the coordinate system handling is not
getting clear to me, and I believe there must be a bug.
Basically I'm getting started by transformation of a shapefile to svg
the important part is (one point to keep it simple):
<g
inkscape:label="Ebene 1"
inkscape:groupmode="layer"
id="layer1">
<g
id="villages1">
<circle
r="0.01009"
cy="-20.87945"
cx="101.33645"
id="villages1_B_Chaloen_Suk"
sodipodi:cx="101.33645"
sodipodi:cy="-20.87945"
sodipodi:rx="0.01009"
sodipodi:ry="0.01009" />
</g>
</g>
The -20.87945 is from conversion, the real coordinate is 20.87945 Degree
north and 101.33645 degree east.
My full file is (more or less directly after import):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>

But the point is displayed at approx 101,120 so 100 px too high.
Changing cy from -20.87945 to +20.... shifts the point to 101,79.1..
(reading from Inkscape properties). I assume the coordinate system
starts above paper size?!
Next thing is that I want to shift the canvas origin from 0,0 to 0,100.
Therefore I've added manually x="0 y="100" to the file:

But this doesnt change anything at all!!! The point is still displayed
at 101,120. And I assume the x,y statement is valid.
It gets even more strange if you put an additional <svg width="100"
height="100"> ... </svg> statement around the last example:

Now the point is displayed at 101,-79.1 ! I dont understand why this
should be correct! Especially as only the y coordinate is influenced. I
really hope that somebody can explain me how I can move my image canvas
so that it fits over my local coordinate system.
Thanks

global unit system and transformation
by Wolfgang
Hi all,
I've just started to use inkscape a few days ago to draw a map. But for
this I would like to have a user defined coordinate system as my country
outline is in "degree". It would be really nice if I could use the
geographic grid (ie. for adding point symbols at 19°N, 101°E). But I
would need to set somewhere a global transformation to map that system
onto the drawing area: 1° equals 3cm on paper, and the origin of the
paper =18°N,99E for example.
Perhaps something like that is already included and I only couldn't find it?
Thanks

import svg file by reference
by Chris Bare
When I import a jpg or png, the svg file contains an external reference to
that file. When I import an svg, the file is merged inline. Is there a way to
tell inkscape to import the svg by reference instead? I'd like to be able to
edit several sub files independent of a master file.

save as PDF loses jpegs & bitmaps
by Werner van Staden
I upgraded to 0.44 (using svn) for the enhanced transparency handling
but - altho' I do get vector graphics retaining their transparency when
saving to PDF - I am now losing all .png .jpg and bitmaps. They don't
show up at all.
ldd /bin/inkscape shows that all dependencies are met on my Ubuntu
Dapper box running kernel 2.6.15.
Am I missing something simple or is this a bug?
