It's not directly possible, but you can mimic some of this feature by using the "Pattern along Path" effect and/or the "Tiled Clones" tool. - Tony ----- Original Message ---- Is it possible to have something like illustrator brushes in Inkscape?

Inkscape and Postscript.
by John R. Culleton 25 Apr '07

25 Apr '07

Inkscape uses a vector format and PostScript uses another vector format. Is it feasible to import a PostScript or eps figure, manipulate it, perhaps add elements, and export it without reducing the PostScript part to a bitmap or bitmap-equivelent? -- John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost.

Inkscape in the news
by Alan Horkan 24 Apr '07

24 Apr '07

An article from the Belfast Telegraph highlighting free alternatives mentions Inkscape rather positively. http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/technology/article2399581.ece Inkscape What does it do? It's a vector graphics editor. [...] What is it undercutting? [Adobe Illustrator] and [CorelDraw] Both have steeper learning curves and larger feature sets than Inkscape. This is quite high praise, and the article mentions a little more about the strong focus given to usability, contrast it to the drubbing they give the gimp. Sincerely Alan Horkan

Difficulty understanding a tutorial
by Jarlath 22 Apr '07

22 Apr '07

I'm doing an inkscape tutorial where you make a flag of the EU. http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MAN...ExampleEU.html At the end, the author explains the positioning of the stars in terms of mathematics; Quote: Next, select the original star and make a new Clone. This time move the Clone 60 pixels downward direction (-60). Repeat for the Horizontal (x) direction. For the rest of the stars use the eight permutations of x(y) = ±30 and y(x) = ±52 pixels (60 times the sine and cosine of 30° respectively). It's the bold part I don't understand. I've tried getting the COS and SINE of these numbers but the resulting figures (even when multiplied by said '60') don't position the stars correctly. If anyone can help here I'd appreciate it. I did contact the author a few days ago, but I'd like to get on with the tutorial and it's probably something I should know. Thanks, Jarlath

Help needed to fight spam in forums and wiki
by bulia byak 20 Apr '07

20 Apr '07

Hi all, We need volunteers! There's quite some spam in our forums: http://sourceforge.net/forum/?group_id=93438 Also, around Apr 11-12, we had an invasion of vandals deleting stuff on wiki: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=Special:Recentchanges&limit=2… We need your help to weed this out. On wiki, you just need to register as usual to be able to revert vandalism; you can also request admin powers from Aho at strange-a at users.sourceforge.net to make it easier. On forums, you need a sourceforge account first, then please contact Bryce for granting you admin access to the forums. Thanks! -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

Questions regarding Tile Clones
by Tony Vigil 19 Apr '07

19 Apr '07

Is there a way to change the transformation order? Scaling happens before rotation. What would be really cool is if you could stack the transformations in any order you want. I actually have use for rotating THEN scaling the clones. - Tony
