Red Spiral Challenge
by Aaron Elmquist
Does anyone know how to creat the red spiral with the continuous gradient in
Tavmjong Bah's "A Guide to Inkscape" I took a couple cracks at it last
night without much sucess.

Re: [Inkscape-user] Extracting formulas from curves?
by Philip Rhoades
Felipe,
I have a statistical relationship in mind and I find it is convenient to
use Inkscape to create the graphs of what I think it should look like
under different conditions. Having done that, it would be nice to be
able to extract the formula for each curve that I have drawn. The curve
of the relationship that I am thinking of should have only a single y
value for each x coordinate, so it should be a function.
Thanks,
Phil.

eraser tool opinions?
by bulia byak
Now that the Eraser tool is in SVN for quite some time, what do people
think of it? Is it useful? In what mode do you use it, if at all?
Disclaimer: as you may remember I was against this tool from the
beginning, considering it redundant. Its Delete mode is equivalent to
Alt+drag followed by Del in Selector, and its Cut mode is now
equivalent to Alt+drag in Calligraphic pen which I just added:
* When drawing with <b>Alt</b>, Inkscape <b>subtracts</b> the path you
have created from the selected path (with <b>Shift</b>, it adds to the
selected path). This allows you to quickly patch or fix problems in a
stroke you have drawn without leaving the tool.
So, do we really have to spend the prime toolbar space on a tool which
does what other tools already do?

Iconset
by Plácido Sousa
Hi all,
I've been improving (I think!) the inkscape iconset (work in progress).
I've resized and simplified some of the icons to make them look better in my
Linux distro (Ubuntu 8.10 - haven't tried others).
If the feedback is positive I'll try them in Microsoft Windows to see what I
can do! (Sorry! I don't own a Mac)
SVG file - icon.svg - and a screenshot as an attachment.
bye

why doesn't this work?
by Elwin Estle
I am trying to make a simple wedge shape that is 1/6 of a hexagon.
So I used the polygon tool to make a hexagon. I convert it to a path. I duplicated it, shrunk it down some and used a boolean operation to cut a smaller hex shaped hole in the exact center of the larger hexagon.
Then I used the node tool to select the extraneous nodes and delete them. Now I have two lines, both part of the same path, but not connected. When I select two end points on the lines and try to join them with a new segment, I get an error saying I haven't selected two nodes!!!
So just for the heck of it, I used the bezier tool to make two separate lines, combined them to a single path and then tried to connect two end nodes with a new segment. Worked just fine. I could try to do the shape I am after this way, but getting everything positioned right might be something of a pain.
I am just wondering why the first technique doesn't work. Seems like it should...

Remove Object Fill and Stroke in Palette
by Plácido Sousa
Hi,
In some programs I remember to see a "color palete" (white with a red cross)
to remove the color of object Fill or Stroke.
Is there a similar thing with Inkscape?
