Filters Not Saved with PNG
by knowone 20 Jan '10

20 Jan '10

I have created a graphic with multiple layers. One of the layers is some text. I have applied a drop shadow filter to the text. When I save the file as PNG, the drop shadow is not saved. I have also tried applying a gaussian blur to the text layer and to the text layer after converting it to an object. The blur is not applied. How can I save the file as PNG with the drop shadow intact? ----- http://couponsdealuxe.com/ Coupons and deals for the wiser miser http://themebot.com/ Free Website Templates find a web layout on Themebot http://iedie.org/ Internet Explorer has got to go bye bye -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Filters-Not-Saved-with-PNG-tp27154938p27154938.html Sent from the Inkscape - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

have a look at this pdf. this is how I do it, sorry not to attach it before but had trouble finding it LOL it's not my pdf but this is how I do a scalloped font. you can use your own shape instead of the circle, of course. not sure if the attachment will go to the group but you can find it here. http://cuttingtime.blogspot.com/2010/01/scalloped-fonts-using-interpolate-s… the pdf is at the end of the post.

Ok thank-you you. So, my only solution is a workaround? I am thinking of downscaling the image to fix the bounding box... -- Sent by HTC HD2 ----- Ursprüngliche Nachricht ----- Von: Alvin Penner <penner@...2467...> Gesendet: Samstag, 16. Januar 2010 17:10 An: inkscape-user(a)lists.sourceforge.net Betreff: Re: [Inkscape-user] Export SVG: Size doesnt match original file The size difference between the two files is confirmed. The bounding boxes for the two .svg files are given below. Illustrator - width="194.284px" height="75.238px" Inkscape - width="242.855" height="94.04725" The ratio of the sizes is exactly 1.25 which equals 90/72, which equals the size ratio of a point to a pixel. It looks as though Inkscape has probably assumed that the original dimensions were given in points, and has probably converted them to pixels by multiplying by 90/72, which is a reasonable thing to do. (However, I know nothing about Illustrator, so I don't know if the native units in Illustrator are points or not.) -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Export-SVG%3A-Size-doesnt-match-original-file-tp27175… Sent from the Inkscape - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Throughout its 18-year history, RSA Conference consistently attracts the world's best and brightest in the field, creating opportunities for Conference attendees to learn about information security's most important issues through interactions with peers, luminaries and emerging and established companies. http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsaconf-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Inkscape-user mailing list [Die ursprüngliche Nachricht wird nicht vollständig eingefügt.]

Export SVG: Size doesnt match original file
by Tobias Schulz 16 Jan '10

Hi, i use inkscape to convert Illustrator-AI-Files to SVG and noticed some size difference between the original ai-file and the converted svg-file. The converted file is about 1cm bigger. I tried command line and GUI. If i use Adobe Illustrator to save the AI-File to SVG there everything works fine. The Image size of SVG and AI match. thanks! Tobias

command-line export SVG with area-drawing: Workaround via PDF, but exported area is wrong!
by Tobias Schulz 15 Jan '10

15 Jan '10

Hi, i have to export an Adobe-Illustrator (AI) file to SVG with export option "export-area-drawing". I know this option is not available on SVG-Files jet. So i tried a workaround.... I exorted the AI file as PDF with area-drawing and then to SVG. This works fine, but....... the exported area in the pdf file is wrong.... the image is truncated... 2 px from image top are repeated at the bottom.... So, the easiest way to solve my problem would be to use "export-area-drawing" on SVG files. but the roadmap doesnt say whether this option is possible in the future....or does it?

New version of Alchemy is out w/ SVG support
by Joshua A. Andler 09 Jan '10

SVG support was added to svn a little while ago, but now it's in a release. You can set your preferred vector format to SVG now instead of PDF. I personally find it compliments Inkscape nicely. http://al.chemy.org/news/alchemy-008-beta-release/ Cheers, Josh
