Dashed path in inkscape
by Bibi Morris 15 May '09

15 May '09

I am in need of a way to do a dashed path in inkscape. When I use the stroke to path it shows up on my SVG as a dashed path, but when it import that to my cutting machine it will cut as a regular path, not one that has holes in it. What I need is a single line with little pieces missing on the line. Does anyone know of an easy way to do this in inkscape? Bibi

Printing PDF files - problem
by unknown＠example.com 04 May '09

04 May '09

Inkscape 0.46 Ubuntu 8.1 Does anyone have a suggestion When I print to file (PDF) the system always produces 2 pages, even if I set the print range at "1" Is this an Inkscape problem or how Cairo handles the output? I have tried putting a small image in the centre of the page, just in case something was spilling over, and get the same result With thanks Terry

Fill pattern and eps export
by Lars Behrens 29 Apr '09

29 Apr '09

Hi there, when exporting to eps (and also to pdf) I lose all the fill patterns in my drawing. I'm using the standard hatch patterns like "Stripes 1:8" with Inkscape 0.46. Is there a trick to conserve them? TIA! Cheerz, Lars

Hello and some questions about scripting in inkscape
by Rubén Quiñones 27 Apr '09

27 Apr '09

Hello all, I'm a low-level user of inkscape, I just open image files from a Geographical Information System in svg format, modify them and export to png/pdf files. As soon as I realized Inkscape has support to the python language scriptting, I try making a script that do for itself the frecuently-used actions I actually do in the files (Just modify some xml attributes of the same objects and export it to png). As I don't Know python language (I program in C/C++/vba) , May anyone guide me where I could get examples for that? I've just looked for in the inkscape wiki, but I'm a bit lost. Thanks for your time Rubén Quiñones Ruiz

Nightly/Testing Builds
by Joshua A. Andler 25 Apr '09

25 Apr '09

Hey All, We seem to be in a bad place with our nightly builds. It would be excellent if we could have a few volunteers step up to produce nightlies (or at least builds from every few days). Anyone who can (or would like to) produce builds for Windows, Linux, and OSX would be making a great contribution to keeping us on track to release 0.47 in the near future. If you are interested, please speak up and we will do what we can to get you producing builds ASAP. For the record, this is how bad the situation is: Win32 - April 18th OSX - March 3rd Linux - nothing from this year (Autopackages are over a year old) So again, if lending some CPU cycles and a little time is all you can do, it is still a LOT for the community. Cheers, Josh

Inkscape user profiles - for promoting the 0.47 release
by Donna Benjamin 25 Apr '09

25 Apr '09

Hi everyone! In the lead up to announcing the 0.47 release we are preparing an announcement to send to user groups, other open source projects and media outlets. As part of this, we would like to have some stories from Users to help bring this to life. A software release on its own isn't very interesting. It's what people do with that software that really inspires others to give it a go, and get involved. So... Name: This can be your full name, or an IRC nick, etc Photo: Just a headshot or avatar to identify you, and add colour and interest to the profile. Thoughts on Inkscape: What you think about the application, how you discovered it, what you use it for... etc. (up to 200 words) Tip: Something you think is cool/nifty/handy/useful, and would like to share with others about Using Inkscape, Artwork: an example piece of artwork/diagram/graphic showcasing how you use Inkscape. How I did it: Short description of the main tools / techniques used to create that artwork - optionally with step by step instructions if you feel like it. Permission: Give permission for us to use all of the above on the website (and relevant publications) to promote the upcoming Release of Version 0.47 License: Creative Commons - Share Alike. I have created a page on the Inkscape wiki with a template. http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/UserStories047 cheers Donna -- Donna Benjamin - kattekrab.net Inkscape: Open Source Scalable Vector Graphics 0.47 is coming... http://www.inkscape.org
