Re: [Inkscape-user] Is this a bug?

I posted on launchpad; apparently this is no longer an issue with Inkscape 0.45 under Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon.

Is this a bug?
by izak marais
Hi all
Ok, I've a very strange Inkscape behaviour in Ubuntu 6.06, so I'm going to describe it in some detail:
I've created a graph in python using matplotlib and saved it as an svg. However, when I open it in inkscape only the axes of the graph are displayed and not the data. Both the axes and the data points should be black. However, when I ungroup everything, I can see the bounding boxes of the data points, but I can't see the ellipses that make up of the data points (it's as if they have no fill). I can select one, try to fill it, shift it to the front, make sure the opacity is set, but it remains stubbornly invisible. If I select one it says "Ellipse 26" on the status bar, but it has no visible nodes when I try to edit it with the node tool.
Now here's the weird part: If I open the same file with the windows version of Inkscape, everything is visible as it should be. Also if I export the file to EPS (using Ubuntu inkscape) the graph data points become visible again.
Can anyone help me? Please! Or is this just a bug

Preventing spam on the Wiki
by Christoph Schäfer
Hi,
I noticed that the Inkscape Wiki has been flooded with spam recently. We had
the same issue on the Scribus Wiki and found a simple, but effective way to
handle it.
We disabled the automatic creation of accounts and put a request mechanism in
place. Everyone who wants an account has to ask for it via email to one of
the SysOps or to the mailing list. We haven't had a single issue with spam
since then.
Maybe you could consider something similar for your interesting Wiki.
Cheers

stroke tracing CAD data (for black-and-white line illustration)?
by unknown＠example.com
I am working in the manufacturing industry. SolidWorks is part of the
tools
available for technical illustration.
Therefore I´m very keen on finding a way of passing geometric CAD data
(just line drawings) into Inkscape.
Via DXF2SVG:
I first tried to import a converted dxf. However the files are to big for
Inkscape, it crashes when trying to import more around 500 objects.
Via Tracing:
I tried to get around this problem by tracing the technical line drawing.
But then again it resulted in about 400 single objects and 3000 nodes,
Inkscape gets very very slow or even crashes.
Is it possible to generate a stroke tracing. Generating just a single
stroke instead of multitudes of objects or surfaces?
Would be intresting to see if there are more users out there who are
trying to pass CAD Data into Inkscape and use it for black-and-white line
illustrations.
I´ve been watching this mailing list for a while and I do get the
impression Inkscape is mainly developed for art work, webdesign etc..
However passing geometric CAD data into Inksape is probably not an issue
for the Inkcape users. (Hopefully I am wrong there).

Command Line Options in 046 (--verb & --select)
by Mike Bee
I've been playing with the new --verb and --select command line options available in Inkscape 046. Very cool! However, I haven't been able to figure out how to control certain functions like "trace bitmap".
I'd like to do the following operations in order at the command line:
Import a bitmap file
Select the imported bitmap
Trace it using a custom threshold setting
Delete the imported bitmap
Select the resultant path
Fit page to selection
Save to Inkscape SVG
So far, I've only been able to import the bitmap and select it using the following command line entry:
"C:\(full path to inkscape)\inkscape.exe" --verb=FileImport "C:\(full path)\testimg.png" --verb=EditSelectAll verb=SelectionTrace
Running this command causes the inkscape gui to start, import the png, and select it. However, it won't trace the image. All it does it open the "trace bitmap" dialog. Another weird thing is that the "select file to import" dialog remains open even after the image import is complete. Is that normal, and how do I close it via the command line?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. BTW, I'm using the win32 build.
Thanks,
mb

Debugging inkscape
by Bill Baxter
Let me back up with a more basic question:
how do I debug inkscape?
The build make by buildtool.exe doesn't seem to have debug symbols.
fprintfs are scattered through the code making me thing those should work, but
I found this INKSCAPE_DEBUG_LOG env var, but that doesn't seem to make
fprintf stderr output work.
Maybe I need to build inkscape as a console app? Where do I set that?
Any hints?
