Re: [Inkscape-user] scanner input; save to PDF
by Tony Vigil
There is no means of scanning images directly into Inkscape. I've asked for this feature at SourceForge...
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1692006&group_id...
If all you want is a PDF version of a scanned image, then you could simply scan the image into GIMP and print to PDF (via cups-pdf or other PDF printer of your choice).

Does anyone know if there's an easy way to grab an image with a scanner and
use inkscape to "save to PDF"?
...I'm moving to linux-vile and I'm jonesing for an Acrobat
Professional/Distiller "make pdf from scanner" replacement.
I don't even care if I have to convert raster data to vector data to do
it... just give me my fix!

That is weird. I'm cc'ing the inkscape-user list to help out. That is a
good list to be on for help on this type of thing: http://inkscape.org

Re: [Inkscape-user] Illustrate screenshots (bitmap) with vector objects...
by Tony Vigil
After you import your bitmap, go into the "Document Properties..." dialog and select "Fit Page to Selection".
After you annotate your image, you can export to PNG and it will be the same size as your original image.

I would like to use Inkscape as a screenshot illustrator (image editor). I
have a bitmap, a software interface capture for example, and would like to
draw some vector objects over it. However I can't find the proper zoom level
to display the bitmap properly (at 100% or 200% it randomly works, it
depends of the screenshot size) and more important, export it so the result
is not "jagged". The zoom level, even at 100% (1:1) is never correct as
Inkscape doesn't consider the canvas as a bitmap, as The GIMP does for
example, but as vector. The only solution I found is to set the exported
bitmap dimensions to 90 ppp but I'm not sure it works in all cases. I don't
even know why 90 works, I suppose it balances the bitmap/vector ratio.
I guess I'm looking for some sort of hybrid mode between bitmap and vector
image editing.

Defining a clones group as a mask
by Jean-Marc Molina
It seems a group of clones can't be defined as a mask.
I drew 1 ellipse shape and cloned it 2 times. Then I grouped the 3 shapes
and defined it as a mask to an other shape. It seems only the original shape
is used as a mask, the others are ignored. Worst when disabling the mask,
only the original shape is restored. The group is lost and all its clones.
Try to define the 3 red ellipses as a mask to the black ellipse using the
attached file.
Am I missing something ?
Is it a bug I should report ?

Clone across files
by Marc Eberhard
Hi,
is it possible to clone an object/group across files? I tried using clone,
but pasting into another file results in an orphaned node (apparently the
reference is only valid _within_ the file with the original). Is there some
other way to achieve something like this?
I want to prepare a set of slides with the same background. I can of course
select and copy the background from one slide to the next, but if I want to
change something on it then I need to go over all files again.
Is there a way to define an object/group in one inkscape file and then link
to this in another inkscape file?
For plain XML files it would look like below, but I don't know, if this
would work for SVG files and if I can use the XML editor in inkscape to
achieve an effect like this.
All comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Marc

Embedding/linking bitmaps
by Bill Baxter
Is there some way to embed bitmaps in SVG?
I was looking at a file I made with a bitmap in it and noticed that
the absolute path to the image was hardcoded into the .svg, making
this svg useless on any machine but my own.
So is there some way to embed bitmap pixel data in SVG? Does the
standard even allow that?
Aside from that is there some way to get Inkscape to copy linked
images to be side-by-side with the svg and use relative paths rather
than absolute paths?
Does the w3c have some sort of .jar-like standard for creating svg
bundles that include both a main svg and associated bitmaps and other
linked content all-in-one? That seems like it would be the ideal
solution.

Group a shape with a text object
by Stranger, Stefan
Hi there,
I'm new to Inkscape but I want to know if it's possible to group a shape
with a text object like you can do in Adobe Illustrator?
In other words if you draw a square that you want to color
programmatically, that square will need a text object grouped to it,
e.g. 'My Square' and finally save it as SVG file. Can I do that with
Inkscape and if yes how?
Regards,
Stefan Stranger
