Adding lines to a path
by Gian Paolo Mureddu
Hello all... Sorry if this question is unclear/confusing and if it is
rather simple, but for the life of me, I've not been able to do it.
I have a closed path (by that I mean a shape with a "closed" border, a
border in all faces), my problem is that I want to add a line which
crosses the shape from one side to the other, but I want to do it so
that the line seems to be a continuation of the border (and ideally
become part of the shape or object), the problem is that I don't know
how could I do this? Heck, I'm not sure if I make any sense at all...
Thus far I've tried drawing a single line with the bezier tool, but
trying to "merge" the line with the rest of the shape using the stroke
tools doesn't yield the desired effect... And I'm quickly running out of
ideas, maybe what I want is not possible and I'll have to manage both
parts (the shape and the line) as different objects grouped together, or
it is possible, but I haven't found how... Any hints?

Of cut, paste, and crop
by unknown＠example.com
Hi list,
I suppose this is slightly OT.
I need to copy and paste a portion of my figure over
to Word. I realize that I can't just do an Edit ->
Copy -> switch to Word -> Paste (although that would
be nice). So, I have to do it by creating a new file,
save it as EMF file, and then switch over to Word, do
an Insert -> Picture - From File. That works.
However, the resulting figure is a full page figure -
with lots of empy space. I also realize that there is
no crop feature in Inkscape. So, can somebody please
point me to a tool that can crop the EMF file so I can
import it into Word?
Thanks,

Yes, JiHo,
I just discovered that that is the way to do it.
Shrinking the page to the object size works
beautifully.

Karol,
Thanks for the reply.
Well, yes and no. :=)
Following your advise, I discovered a way to do it.
After pasting the objects onto the new page, *don't*
do the "Fit page to selection" from the object
property. That won't work. Instead, invoke the
"Document Property" function from the top (under
File), and then select the "Fit page to selection"
from there. The whole page then shrink down to the
size of the object - rather then trying to explode the
object up to the size of the page.
Works perfectly. :=)
Thanks for your inspiration.

Thanks for the reply, Aaron.
I don't want to work in PNG mode because there is an
obvious quality disadvantage when I resize the figure
later inside Word. That's why I am using EMF. The
quality is very good in EMF mode.

This is cheesey but might work. I say might because
I'm at work and don't have Inkscape in front of me.
You might also want to work from a copy of the file.
Group the entire image.
Create a shape around the area you want to keep.
Select the grouped image and the shape created in step
2.
Clip - Set.
Export to PNG to the desired dimensions.
Word seems to play nicely with PNGimages.

SVG to EMF via command line
by unknown＠example.com
Hi list,
Is there a way to convert a SVG file to EMF using
inkscape's command line option? I see that Inkscape
supports EPS, PNG, and others but don't see EMF
listed.
Thanks,

Inkscape 0.45.1. for Mac OS 10.3
by jiho
Hello everybody,
As promised there is now an official release of Inkscape version
0.45.1 compatible with Mac OS 10.3 (Panther). It as available for
download at SourceForge, as usual:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?
group_id=93438&package_id=99112&release_id=495106
Future releases should stay Panther compatible as long as there is
someone to test them on this operating system. Thanks again to John
Faith for his work and to Areozol for initiating the process.
JiHO

example svg file for explaining a font scaling issue in inkscape
by Gijsbert Stoet
I have recently asked how to easily scale multiple objects, including
characters, and then later scale only to a particular font size.
Somehow, this is difficulty to do in inkscape (but I hope there is an
easy trick!). It is much easier to understand the problem if you see
what I mean by example. I have put the question in an svg with an example.
http://volition.uwe.ac.uk/example-font-scaling-issue.svg
Thanks to anyone would can help (or tries :)
