William, it would help to see the bitmap or converted path to see if what I'm suggesting will work, but it was scrubbed. Here's what I would suggest. Make sure that your converted bitmap is indeed a single path. You will get feedback about this in the taskbar when you select the object. If it says '1 group' or "two paths" or anything else selected, you must ungroup, etc, until you have a single path. A single path can of course have many many separated shapes in it with space in between them Then, in the path menu, choose 'ungroup'. You should then see your shapes separated into a series of selection boxes all selected at once. Click away with the selector, then select individual circles. If you have overlapping circles, they will become a single object in a single path. Hope this helps.

Extracting sub shapes from bitmaps

Dear all, I have a bitmap with many circles inside it, and I would like to manipulate each circle individually. I have already converted the bitmap to svg by using Trace Bitmap inside inkscape, but I dont know how to "ungroup" the vectorized figure and manipulate the circles individually. I would like to know if I can do that in inkscape and how. I am attaching an example bitmap. Thanks in advance.

SVG Open 2010 conference - Last Call for an Inkscape contribution
by Andreas Neumann 04 Jun '10

04 Jun '10

Hi all, As every year we are organizing the SVG Open conference (http://www.svgopen.org/2010/). This year it takes place from August 30 to September 1 in Paris. Inkscape was always present in the past couple of years through presentations of Jon Cruz, one time also a keynote. His contribution was always one of the highlights of the conference. Inkscape is the most powerful SVG editor we have at hand. It would be very nice if the Inkscape project would be represented at the conference. I am sure there are plenty interesting aspects in Inkscape that would be worth being presented at the conference. If you live close by and have time and interest in presenting Inkscape, both from a developer, but also from a designer/user point of view, you are still welcome to submit a short abstract until June 9. The official abstract submission deadline is over, but we are still accepting late interesting submissions. If you are interested, please submit an abstract at https://www.svgopen.org/2010/registration.shtml (you first have to preregister) or ask me questions, if any. I would hope that the Inkscape project could be present at the conference. Thanks, Andreas

Power Stroke discussion

Hi all, This summer, Zhenfeng will work on a new "variable stroke width" LivePathEffect, called "Power Stroke". Now that Zhenfeng has started his GSoC, I'd like all who are interested to join the discussion on this page: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/PowerStroke#Discussion_at_LGM_20 10. Already I got some great input at the Libre Graphics Meeting in Brussels last week. More input is always welcome. Thanks a lot! Johan
