Logo "contest"
by Alberto Simões 01 May '07

01 May '07

Hi First, not a contest because I can't offer anything to the winner. Just to be "the winner". Next, I am just announcing this here, at inkscape users list. Mainly because I want a vectorial logo, but also because I am an inkscape user and love it (but I do not know how to draw anything). Ok, what is the "contest"? I am involved in a project of an 'open dictionary' (dicionário aberto in Portuguese) and I would like to have a logo for it. The actual page is available at http://dicionario-aberto.net and is just in Portuguese (and will be that way forever), but I'll create a page with the received logos (if anyone contribute). We will choose the logo by 13 May. Cheers Alberto -- Alberto Simões

Native Inkscape on OS X
by Eric Bednarz 01 May '07

01 May '07

Hi, I wonder what the current status of a native Inkscape version for OS X (ever since the first announced good news) is (the wiki doesn't really help [me, at least]). To cut it short: * I love Inkscape * OS X is my primary development platform these days (I do have flavours of Windows and GNU/Linux available for testing and special tasks, I'd like to cut that down to testing) * I want my Intuos tablet to work properly with the calligraphy tool (did I mention that I love Inkscape?) * I'd rather pump € worth of a CS3 Illustrator (missed opportunity, as far as I'm concerned ;-) license into a worhtwhile project, if that helps (I don't drink beer anyway [0] :-) [0] Seriously, I encourage everyone thinking about the issue if you can afford it at all -- personally, I'm not exactly getting rich but wealthy enough to start thinking about it. I've gotten more out of free software (or whatever your label is) than I could ever pay back, which is not say that I shouldn't pay back at all, anywhere. Now that I could afford Adobe products, I'd rather invest into freedom (and to me, there are no 'leechers', 'undecided professionals' maybe, which is unconditionally fine :). Thanks, Eric -- ||| hexadecimal EBB o-o decimal 3771 --oOo--( )--oOo-- octal 7273 205 goodbye binary 111010111011

Setting Fill for a Self-Intersecting Path
by Aaron Elmquist 01 May '07

01 May '07

Here's the deal. I have a bezzer curve that loops back on itself. Basically I drew the out line of a very curvy pipe. When I set the fill the areas that overlap are transparent. Any simple fixes for something like this? I think I could start pushing nodes around and join/cut them, but then I'd loose the outline for the stroke represent that part of this is in the foreground while the rest is behind it.

Bulleted lists in Inkscape? Hanging indents?
by Niall Mansfield 01 May '07

01 May '07

I want to create a bulleted list in an Inkscape document, along the lines of * the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog * lazy dog quick jumped over * the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog If I have to insert the bullet symbols by hand, that's OK (though not ideal) but is there any way to get the hanging indent on the paragraphs? (In case the layout of this post gets messed up, the list items items should just like the standard bulleted lists on an HTML page.) Thanks, Niall

For the cover of a book of detective fiction I want to create an irregular figure like a blood stain or spatter. Can I do this in Inkscape?
