Trim/extend feature questions
by Kalman KHIRALY 09 Mar '09

09 Mar '09

Hi! I would like to achieve a trim/extent feature like in many CAD-like application can be found. Here is a little screenshot what I trying to do: http://khiraly.googlepages.com/trim_extend.png Here are the steps what I did: There are two lines and a circle, so 1. I converted the circle to path 2. I opened up the circle 3. I duplicated the line, and go to the Path->Cut Path menuitem 4. I repeated the above step to the other line Sadly this precedure involves some imprecisement, I zoomed into, and created this screenshot: http://khiraly.googlepages.com/circle-imprecise.png Can somebody propose a precodure where the result is mathematically correct, and does not have imprecisement? Needless to say, that I cant union the three paths together... Or should I wait until a trim/extend tool arrives? (I use rev 20844, from today) Any ideas? Best regards, Khiraly

Hi Everyone, I've been asked to get an idea of who is using linux desktops for graphic work. Are you using a wacom tablet with inkscape / gimp / blender etc on linux? If yes, can you send me a brief outline of who you are and how you're using it? Work? Play? Art? Industry? Age? Country? Feel free to spread the word if you have friends using linux for graphix get 'em to drop me a note too. cheers!

Enlarged Area of Drawing
by hippie dream 03 Mar '09

03 Mar '09

Hello Inkscape List, Thanks for a wonderful program. I have a fairly simple question which I can't figure out from internet searching. I am making a diagram and I would like to have a box in the upper left hand corner of the drawing show an enlarge portion of my drawing. 1) Is there an easy way to do this? By easy I mean if there an option for a box that limits graphic to inside the box... kind of .svg within an .svg? 2) If not and I have to do it manually, then I will relate my other problem right now. I was going to do this manually by drawing a rectangle then simply copy/paste the necessary items into my box to manually create the enlarged area. But for some reason whenever, I try to draw rectangle I get nothing but a box of dashed lines that disappears as soon as I don't click on it. Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong? Anyways thanks alot in advance. I am running Ubuntu 8.10 Sam -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Enlarged-Area-of-Drawing-tp22290789p22290789.html Sent from the Inkscape - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Inkscape new Interaface Icon sizes
by Plácido Sousa 03 Mar '09

03 Mar '09

Hi, I am trying to update the default icon set. I' ve Installed development versions os inkscape in both Linux and Windows There's a new interface options in setting where you can choose from small/medium/normal icons (cool). normal :: 24x24 px medium :: 16x16 px ?!? small :: 16x16 px Can anyone (developer - probably not the best place to ask this!!!) confirm that this is the way inkscape is going. previously some icons were 22x22 px I am considering doing two icon files - 16x16 :: small - 24x24 :: normal It would be even better if both icon's sizes could be in the same place so that inkscape picked the correct size. In my opinion, at such a small size, vectorial icons don't scale in a sharp way. -- > Plácido André Sousa http://chezplacide.blogspot.com placidoaps@...155... .-. /v\ L I N U X // \\ >Phear the Penguin< /( )\ ^^-^^

Splitting/break apart text
by Gunnar Lestander 03 Mar '09

03 Mar '09

I have imported a PDF with a electronic schematic and have found that text are kept together all over the drawing and not just over linebreaks. XML editor looks like: ==========================- <svg:text id="text1"> <svg:tspan id="tspan1"> "Choose power supply" <svg:tspan id="tspan2"> "with jumper" <svg:tspan id="tspan3"> "between A, B, or C" <svg:tspan id="tspan4"> "R1" <svg:tspan id="tspan5"> "R37" ==========================- They are positioned in the big drawing like this : Upper right corner: "Choose power supply with jumper between A, B, or C" Low to the right: "R1" Center of drawing: "R37" Is there a simple way to break them apart to single lines of text so I can handle/move them individually? Commando, macro or something else to give me somthing like this: ================== <svg:text id="text1"> <svg:tspan id="tspan1"> "Choose power supply" <svg:text id="text2"> <svg:tspan id="tspan2"> "with jumper" <svg:text id="text3"> <svg:tspan id="tspan3"> "between A, B, or C" <svg:text id="text4"> <svg:tspan id="tspan4"> "R1" <svg:text id="text5"> <svg:tspan id="tspan5"> "R37" ===================== // Gunnar Lestander (Sorry if this becomes a repost, since I haven't received a copy from the list to myself)

Re: [Inkscape-user] Tango icons as default set
by Guillermo Espertino 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

Plácido Sousa sent an improved version of the current default icon set to the user list. It's a clear improvement over the current, and in my opinion, it should be made the default set since there is no consensus about the Tangoified theme and the default has some evident problems. The proposed set from Sousa is a polished version of the same icons we have now, so the familiarity won't be a problem and the people -like me- who think the current set needs desperately some love will be more comfortable with the new look. What do you think?
