Call for help: Screenshots needed for 0.46

by bulia byak

As we're nearing the release, we need more screenshots to show off the new features in 0.46, to be published at http://inkscape.org/screenshots/index.php?lang=en. Here's a page describing how to create good screenshots: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/MakingScreenshots. Use the information on that page and the best of the existing screenshots in our gallery as inspiration. At the very least, we need to illustrate: - 3D box tool - SVG filters - more live path effects (we only have one screenshot for path along path) - gradient tool's on-canvas mid stops - a (meaningful) illustration of the color management at work - new extensions - new grid and guide features - perhaps something with custom markers, along the lines of http://needcoffee.deviantart.com/art/Gradients-To-Path-78650259 - any complex, stunning, impressive Inkscape art even if it does not use the new features :) See the release notes for a list of all new features: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/ReleaseNotes046 You can send your submissions to me for publishing on the site. Thanks in advance! -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

Drawing problem

by Joe Ward

I want to learn to use Inkscape in conjunction with Scribus to put out a newsletter. I want to create a box to go around a photograph and then import it into Scribus. In Inkscape, I click on the rectangle tool and drag as instructed, and nothing seems to happen. Then I scroll the window, and find that I've drawn a box below the desktop or canvas or whatever it's called. How can I cause the program to draw the box where I click and drag? I uninstalled the program and downloaded and installed it again, but the same thing happens in the second installation. Joe Ward

Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!

by Josh Andler

Hey Everyone, As 2008 comes to a close I wanted to wish a happy holiday season to all and to wish everyone a very happy, healthy, safe, and prosperous new year! A big "THANK YOU!" goes out to to all contributors... whether developers, translators, testers, users, or even just advocates or constructive critics, Inkscape would not be where it is today without everything that you all have given. Thanks again and I can't wait to see what 2009 has in store for us all! Cheers! Josh

JavaFX Exporter

by Gregg Bolinger

The other day I grabbed the latest code from the trunk and built Inkscape and installed it. The JavaFX exporter was there but the resulting syntax isn't valid JavaFX 1.0 syntax. It looks to be from some point in the RC line of the SDK. Is this being worked on and if so is there an ETA when the 1.0 compatible exporter will be available? Thanks. -- Gregg Bolinger

Snapping to Edge of Paths

by Mike Lewis

Hi, I'm new to inkscape and have used CorelDRAW a bit. One feature I really like is the ability to snap to edges of paths (as well as midpoints and whatnot). Is there something like this in Inkscape? Thanks, Mike Lewis -- Michael Lewis lolrus.org mikelikespie@...155...

Inkscape to Blender:Planetary gears

by Elwin Estle

Original gears made in Inkscape with the gear effect, then the .svg's are imported into Blender, extruded and animated. First attempt, 2 gears: http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/5567/planetaryxl1.gif Second attempt, 5 gears (1 annulus gear, three planetary gears, and a sun gear). Had a heckuva time figuring out the rotation for the central gear. Run the vid twice. For some reason, the first time it runs way too fast. http://vimeo.com/2425916

Scripting

by Alessandro Antonello

Hi all. I am new in this mailing list and I want some help on writing a little script that I despereted need. I have a huge SVG file. Its resolution is 20000+ by 38000+ and I need to slice it in little PNG peaces with 180x150 pixels. I wrote an batch file (I am a Windows user) that automate this but since it calls the inkscape in the command line to every peace that need to be exported it is very, very, very slow. Some one can guide me in writing a script that could do this in a little less time? I am currently using the version 0.46 of Inkscape in a Windows XP. Regards. -- Alessandro Antonello
