pdf export blur
by Devon Scott-Tunkin 24 Apr '08

Is there anyway to get blur and transparency effects to export properly to pdf? I tried the latest dev build but selecting convert blur to bmp doesn't seem to do anything.

Patterns and shadows not exported to pdf
by Dirk Völlger 24 Apr '08

24 Apr '08

Hello, I got a weird problem and wonder: I have some objects filled with patterns as well as some shadows. I do not manage it to export everything to pdf. My objects do not contain any pattorns or shadows. I avoided to work with opacities as i read somewhere, that transparency is not valid in pdf. But still, my patterns do not contain any transparency and a shadow only blurs (or is bluring connected to opacity)? Anyway, even when I eface the shadows, my patterns are still not exported. Using Inkscape 0.46 on ubuntu gutsy. Does anyone have an idea? I definetely need my files in pdf-format...

Grayscale images
by heathenx 24 Apr '08

24 Apr '08

I was dinking around around with filters again (can't seem to stop playing with them). By adding an feColorMatrix filter and adjusting the saturation only I was able to turn a color jpeg image into a grayscale image. That got me thinking...is this the best way to apply grayscale to a picture? Seems like I would want to do this with the Raster effects instead but I do not see it at first glance. Have any of you needed or wanted to apply grayscale to something in Inkscape? How do you go about it? heathenx

feature idea
by Elwin Estle 23 Apr '08

23 Apr '08

We have node sculpting and the tweak tool, what I think would be a great companion to these would be something like Blender's Lattice modifier, where you can take a complex shape and sort of "cage" it with a simpler shape, and use the simpler shape to proportionally "sculpt" the more complex one by moving the nodes in the simple shape, sort of like using the nodes of a simple bezier curve as handles to control the overall shape of a more complex multi-node curve. ...it's just a thought. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!

wish - select amount of simplification of lines
by Carlos \"Guâno\" Grohmann 23 Apr '08

23 Apr '08

Hello, I'd like to request a feature, or else, a option to a tool already in inkscape. When working with nodes, we can use "simplify path", but we cannot choos _how much_ simplification we want. It would be very very very nice to be able to do so. I don't know which algorithm inkscape uses for simplification, but if it is something like a Douglas-Peucker algorithm, it would be equivalent to select the distance to consider points to remove from the original line. cheers Carlos -- +-----------------------------------------------------------+ Carlos Henrique Grohmann - Guano Geologist M.Sc - Doctorate Student at IGc-USP - Brazil Linux User #89721 - carlos dot grohmann at gmail dot com +-----------------------------------------------------------+ _________________ "Good morning, doctors.

Inkscape does not recognize font-variant:small-caps;
by Render 22 Apr '08

22 Apr '08

I have tried to change the font variant in the xml editor from normal to small caps, but after I do this in inkscape (xml editor) that property disappears as soon as I indicate set style. If take the file and then just type text and leave font variant normal in inkscape, but edit the font variant in a text editor the change stays, but once I open the file in inkscape the font is no longer what I specified even though in the xml editor I can see that it IS the font that I specified. How do I make it so that I can SEE this change directly in inkscape? ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!

Filter Effects example in SVN
by heathenx 21 Apr '08

21 Apr '08

A fellow Inkscape user sent me a link from the SVN repo regarding a filter effect svg example file. There are quite a few different effects inside of this file which I think many of us users would appreciate having. Is it possible to get this file posted on openclipart? I'm not sure who authored the svg file but WOW!, what a nice gift. This person should be lifted up on our shoulders and paraded down main street. :) Besides Tav's filter effects manual and some other write-ups here and there, this is a pretty great resource for understanding filters. Here's the link: http://inkscape.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/inkscape/inkscape/trunk/share/ex… heathenx
