Flowchart question
by R C
Hi,
I am trying to draw a flowchart of the form:
<----------------
| _____ __ |__
| | | | |
---->| A |--->| B |--->
|_____| |_____|
I modified the example in the user manual to:
size(300,100);
import flowchart;
block b0=rectangle("",(-1.5,1));
block b1=rectangle("A",(-1,1));
block b2=rectangle("B",(1,1));
draw(b0);
draw(b1);
draw(b2);
add(new void(frame f, transform t) {
picture pic;
draw(pic,Label("FF",0.5,N),
path(new pair[]{(-2.,1),b0.left(t)},Horizontal),
Arrow,PenMargin);
draw(pic,Label("F",0.5,N),
path(new pair[]{b0.right(t),b1.left(t)},Horizontal),
Arrow,PenMargin);
draw(pic,Label("E",0.5,N),
path(new pair[]{b1.right(t),b2.left(t)},Horizontal),
Arrow,PenMargin);
draw(pic,Label("R",0.5,E),
path(new pair[]{b2.top(t),b0.top(t)},Vertical),
Arrow,PenMargin);
draw(pic,Label("P",0.5,N),
path(new pair[]{b2.right(t),(+2.,1)},Horizontal),
Arrow,PenMargin);
add(f,pic.fit());
});
However, the resulting flowchart (pdf file attached) has several problems:
- the line connecting the block labeled B to the unlabeled block b0 (which I would also like to reduce to a point) seems to be connected directly horizontally from b2 to b0 and not as a vertical followed by a horizontal then vertical segment from the top of b1 to the top of b0,
- the lines drawn to connect to the left of block b0, and the line from the right of block b1 (labeled B) do not seem to be consistent with the specified coordinates, and
- I am unable to independent specify the size of the blocks.
I would appreciate any suggestions to fix these problems.
Thanks,

Tree diagrams

Dear All,
Can Inkscape make diagrams like the attached one, somehow automatically?

Re: [Inkscape-user] Tiled Clones Trace Question
by Richard Querin
Oh man. I figured it out once I examined the file you attached.
I was mistakenly setting the fill and stroke to "none" with the 'X"
button, not UNsetting them with the "?" button in the Fill&Stroke
dialog. It works as advertised now.
Silly mistake. Thanks for the help guys!

Tiled Clones Trace Question
by Richard Querin
Hi,
I'm playing around with the Trace option for tiled clones and I'm
having a problem.
I'm creating an 8x8 grid of tiled rectangles overtop of a bitmap (I
tried this with a gradient filled rectangle underneath as well). Using
the trace tab, i can get the clones to be output based on presence,
opacity, and size, but I can't seem to get them to be created based on
the underlying object's color as is described here:
http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Tiles-Trace.html
I've made sure the base object has an unset fill (which the tooltip
and article recommend) but I still can't recreate the example in
Tavmjong's guide.
Any clues as to what I'm doing wrong?

Tiled Clones - Artifacts?
by Aaron Elmquist
I'm trying to make some tiled clones of a bunch of squares with a patter
inside. I'm getting some kind of line between the squares when I tile
it. I tried adjusting down the exponent with no success. Am I having
issues because of something to do with the bounding box on this item?
Thanks,

what file and preference do I change...
by Aaron Elmquist
to adjust the default zoom level on the default document opened by
inkscape?
I've been playing with some settings in the default.svg file. I managed to
get it to open a 500 x 500 px page with no boarder. I'd like to have the
page zoomed to fit the screen. I see a setting of inkscape:zoom = "0.35"
but that doesn't seem to work as adjust in the zoom level in inkscape has no
effect on this value in the xml editor.
Thanks for the help in advance.

Patterns. How?
by Gian Paolo Mureddu
Hello list!
I write to you out of sheer ignorance. I generated a pattern with some
paths and I'd like to use it as a sort of "texture" and apply it to
another path... Is there an automated way of doing this, or should I
group/join the paths and repeat them over the path I want to cover "ad
nauseam"? I do believe there was a function in 0.46 (or was it since
0.45?) that helped doing that (or so I believe), but I don't seem to
find said function. Thanks in advance for any tips!

How to control the rotation of objects?
by Gian Paolo Mureddu
Hi again!
I now have a different question. This time it has to do with rotating
objects. Is there a way to control how much an object is rotated other
than the 90° function? Something similar to the GIMP's rotation tool
where you can choose the actual number of degrees by which you want to
rotate a given object? Dealing with patterns (see my other post) I am
attempting to generate a pattern off different rotation angles of some
paths, however I find it very difficult to obtain the desired effect by
manually turning every shape into the position I want it/need it to be
100% symmetrical. Is there a way to assess the rotation of objects?
(sorry if my n00bishness shows, but I'm a n00b!). Just for the record,
I'm attempting this in Inkscape 0.46 on Fedora 8.

tabs for move, scale, *rotate*, skew, matrix
