Single SVG file to multi-page PDF
by donn
Anyone know how I could layout/hack a single Inkscape SVG file so that I
can get a multi-page PDF out the other end?
Inkscape -> layout tricks (maybe layers?) -> some process (maybe command
line) -> PDF file with pages.
At the moment I am laying-out logos and designs on a single 'page' which
can be as tall as 9000 pixels.
Is there a way to 'chop' a single PDF page like that into smaller chunks?

Application Error -- HELP!
by Christen
Running Inkscape on Windows Vista 32-bit. Previously, I had 0.48.1
installed, but last night when I went to run it, I received a pop-up box
with the following message: "The application failed to initialize properly
(0xc0000005). Click OK to terminate the application." Thinking that maybe
re-installing it would solve my problem, I got online this morning and
downloaded the .exe for 0.48.2 and installed it. When I attempted to run it,
I received the same message. Can anyone tell me please what is going on, and
if it can be fixed?
TIA,
Christen

none of
ctrl-shift-f, right-click fill&stroke, tool bar icon, (menu)object fill&stroke

same (lack of) behavior with align and distribute
I've reinstalled Inkscape and installed inkscape-trunk. Nothing.
Any ideas?

This works. I already had transforms set to 'optimize' in preferences.
Of course I have 60+ groups on an average map so I'll look to scripting
this as an extension but you've pointed me in the right direction.
Thanks.

Interesting. Thanks for the information
I don't have a router firewall and my DNS is fine AFAIK (nothing special
setup).
The webproxy.ca access does work though. I'm continuing this discussion on
the forum via the webproxy.ca provided above.
Thanks again.

Simplify inkscape transforms
by Paul Whipp
Hi there,
I'm new to this list which I found after failing to get onto
inkscapeforum.com (which seems to be dead).
I've been looking at inkscape/svg for a while now and I'm considering using
it in application development using Python/Javascript.
I find inkscape very useful for setting up the graphics and editing them
but it leaves translation and other transforms in place on groups etc.
after you move them about. This has two issues:
i) It slows things down as the transforms must be applied every time the
svg is presented even though they always yield the same result.
ii) It makes it hard for code manipulating the SVG DOM because the
transformations add a layer of obfuscation.
Furthermore, browser implementations (chrome & firefox) seem to be buggy
regarding SMIL animations on paths if these transforms are left in - they
honour the transforms for the path itself but do not honour them for the
associated animation posititions.
I need to simplify these transforms out of the SVG.
To rephrase:
I create a rectangle in Inkscape and move it around - the x and y
attributes update as expected.
I stick a text object over the rectangle and group them together.
Now I move the group and I get a "transform = translate(188.98349,
-58.129834)" attribute associated with the group rather than the x,y
positions being updated as I want.
I need to be able to click a button (or set a preference) so that these
static transforms (which accumulate) are applied to the attributes and then
removed such that the svg is left in a simpler but graphically identical
state.
Is there some 'standard' or known way to achieve this simplification that I
am missing? I will happily RTFM if pointed in the right direction - 'I've
tried googling to no avail.
TIA,
Paul Whipp

Inkscape daily Ubuntu builds for Lucid (10.04) and Maverick (10.10)
by Donna Benjamin
Hi all,
Peter 'Cafuego' Lieverdink has patched a compiler bug that was
preventing Inkscape for building for older Ubuntu versions.
https://launchpad.net/~cafuego/+archive/inkscape
>From the notes:
PPA description
This PPA contains daily automated Inkscape builds. These builds are
generated directly from the Inkscape trunk on Launchpad and may contain
bugs. Use this PPA to test Inkscape. If you need a stable version,
please install Inkscape from the main Ubuntu repositories.
Changes to the Inkscape source trigger a compiler bug on the i386
version of Ubuntu 10.04 ("Lucid") and 10.10 ("Maverick"), so Lucid and
Maverick packages in this repository are built with a patched C
compiler.
Note that recent changes to Inkscape mean that the latest version can no
longer be built on an unmodified 10.04 LTS ("Lucid") system. This PPA
now contains backported versions of the pixman and cairo packages, which
are required to run Inkscape trunk on Lucid. Please be aware that these
system libraries will be installed from this PPA and that these versions
have not been extensively tested with other Ubuntu applications that
might use them.
On Lucid, xulrunner-1.9 conflicts with this PPA.
To see the bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/885280
cheers

Inkscape: Open Source Scalable Vector Graphics

Paths joining two objects and three paths to one node.
by unknown＠example.com
Hello,
I have two questions:
1) Is there a way to join two objects using a path so that when I move
the objects, the path's endpoints get dragged around? I frequently draw
planar graphs and this ability would be useful.
2) I suspect there's some vector-graphics theory reason why it's
impossible, but is it possible to have three paths emerge from one node?
Is there an aesthetic way to fake it if there isn't?
Thanks for any hints/answers/tutorials anybody can provide,
John B.
