object size function of page format?
by David L 30 May '07

30 May '07

Hi, I'm a newbie using inkscape to annotate a floor plan I've created with cairo. I'm having a few little problems when I try to do this. The first problem is that the size of the objects in my floor plan change when I change the page format. For example, if I generate a square intended to print as 1" on a side, it initially is the correct size when I open the svg file with inkscape. However, after I pick a page format (eg: US Letter), the size of the square changes significantly. I'm not sure if this is newbie ignorance or a bug in cairo or inkscape. Below is some C code that generates an svg file with a 1" square as an example. How can I make objects print at their original size without simply manually rescaling everything after setting the page format? Thanks, David // compile like this: // g++ -Wall -c -g `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0` -o cairosvg.o cairosvg.cpp // g++ -g -o cairosvg cairosvg.o `pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0` #include <gtk/gtk.h> #include <glib.h> #include <gtk/gtk.h> #include <gdk/gdk.h> #include <cairo/cairo-svg.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { cairo_surface_t *surface; surface = cairo_svg_surface_create("foo.svg", 100, 100); cairo_t *cr; cr = cairo_create (surface); cairo_surface_destroy(surface); cairo_rectangle (cr, 0.0, 0.0, 100, 100); cairo_clip (cr); cairo_move_to(cr, 10, 10); cairo_line_to(cr, 10, 82); cairo_line_to(cr, 82, 82); cairo_line_to(cr, 82, 10); cairo_close_path(cr); cairo_set_source_rgb(cr, 0,1,0); cairo_set_line_width (cr, 0.1); cairo_stroke(cr); cairo_move_to(cr, 46,46); cairo_show_text(cr, "X"); cairo_show_page (cr); cairo_destroy (cr); return 0; } _________________________________________________________________ More photos, more messages, more storage�get 2GB with Windows Live Hotmail. http://imagine-windowslive.com/hotmail/?locale=en-us&ocid=TXT_TAGHM_migrati…

How To Install Type 1 Fonts on Linux Debian/Ubuntu?
by Dave Fisher 30 May '07

30 May '07

Dear All, I am a new list member (although long-time Inkscape user), please accept my apologies if this question has been asked and answered in some place that I can't find or am unaware off. All the fonts I can see listed in my Inkscape installation are TTF. I have Type 1 fonts on my system and would like to use them in Inkscape, e.g. for embedding. I've read that there are problems with this on Windows and OSX, is this true for Linux also? If not, can anyone suggest a method I can follow? I'm no stranger to the command line and I've previously learnt more about Debian/Ubuntu font management that I ever wanted to ;-) Dave

Crop tool?
by John R. Culleton 29 May '07

29 May '07

In Gimp one can "flatten" a document to put all layers and all pieces into one object. Once this is done one can crop to a segment of the object and if needed enlarge it to a new size. I need those steps or equivalent to create a multi page (and more readable) version of the help document "keys.svg. " What are the Inkscape analogs of flatten and crop? -- John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost. Satisfaction guaranteed. http://wexfordpress.com

Gradient smoothnes quality (Linux user)
by Pgega 29 May '07

Hi there, I would like to ask about inkscape gradient fill option. When I use gradients I can easily recognise tone steps in the gradient ..especially when I am using few gredient filled objects with different transparency levels. What might be the reason ? I using Debian , Xorg 24 bit Color Depth. When I draw the same picture under windows with AI or Photoshop the gradients are more smooth.

16-bit?
by Claus Cyrny 29 May '07

29 May '07

Hi all, I would like to know if it is possible to export/save Inkscape files in a color depth of 16-bit/channel? I would like to edit a bitmap in 16-bit, by drawing "over" it with the Inkscape tools, and then exporting it as a 16-bit bitmap (maybe PNG, if the 16-bit are kept). TIA, Claus -- Home Page - http://home.arcor.de/ccyrny/ [in English] graf-o-matic 2.0 - http://grafomatic01.twoday.net/ [in German]
