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?

Re: [Inkscape-user] Axonometric grid mangling shapes after duplication

Thanks for that hint. I was expecting something along those lines myself but discarded the 'SVG output' precision value when thinking that it only effects the output when the document is saved like in
'Save a Copy'. I've been doing a lot of that recently.
Cheers. That solved the problems I was having.

Axonometric grid mangling shapes after duplication
by unknown＠example.com
Before issuing a bug I'm curious if not there's something which I'm doing wrong or something present in my own settings.
After applying the default axonometric grid, setting some nodes on grid points with the bezier tool and duplicating that shape that duplicate's nodes jump off grid. Similar behaviour happens when
editing a node and the whole shape shifts. This behaviour isn't present on a rectangular grid.

Yay, that had already stopped bothering me a long time ago.. It had too,
because it was very annoying and at the same time very hard to fix. I
didn't see this fix coming, so thanks a lot!
To all: With all these great improvements and side effects, please do
not forget to mention them in the release notes
(http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_notes/0.49)
BTW, is anyone still working on the new website? It's been quite quiet
in that area lately (and hence I'm cross-posting this to the user list).
I want to put compilation instructions online for Fedora 15. Will these
be retained when posting to the old wiki?

force relative coordinates
by Adrian Dusa
Dear All,
I want to create a path, forcing all points to relative coordinates.
I checked "Allow relative coordinates" and "Force repeat commands" in
the Inkscape preferences.
Toy example:
<path
sodipodi:nodetypes="ccccccccccccccc"
inkscape:connector-curvature="0"
id="path2984"
d="m 105,0 c 21,1 21,26 8,32 c 42,23 82,78 32,113 c 10,5 10,5
10,30 l -28,0 c 0,23 0,23 61,23 c 17,1 19,12 22,22 c -85,0 -95,5
-105,-23 c -10,28 -20,23 -105,23 c 3,-10 5,-21 22,-22 c 61,0 61,0
61,-23 l -28,0 c 0,-25 0,-25 10,-30 c -50,-35 -10,-90 32,-113 c -13,-6
-13,-31 8,-32 z"
style="fill:#b70000;fill-opacity:0.6;stroke:none" />
This looks fine, but when I am moving the path (say 5px to the right),
and then back again, the path gets fixed coordinates (which I would
like to avoid):
d="m 105,0 c 21,1 21,26 8,32 c 42,23 82,78 32,113 c 10,5 10,5
10,30 l -28,0 c 0,23 0,23 61,23 c 17,1 19,12 22,22 c -85,0 -95,5
-105,-23 C 95,225 85,220 0,220 c 3,-10 5,-21 22,-22 c 61,0 61,0 61,-23
l -28,0 c 0,-25 0,-25 10,-30 C 15,110 55,55 97,32 C 84,26 84,1 105,0
z"
What would be the best way of forcing the path to (always) relative coordinates?
Thank you,
Adrian

Re: [Inkscape-user] force relative coordinates
by crjw
>(BTW, the entry "Numeric precision" has a misleading tooltip "How many
>digits to write after the decimal dot", whereas the value evidetly means the
>total number of valid digits.)
Any reason why Inkscape's "precision setting" option limits "significant figures" instead of "decimal places"?
Placing a limit on "significant figures" forces arbitrarily higher precision for coordinates near the origin of the drawing.
Precision drops logarithmically (in discrete jumps) as the coordinates move away from the origin.
E.g. Consider the following horizontal path created with a numeric precision of "8".
d="M
0.17036585,0
243.56794,0
507.68921,0
801.52616,0
1128.1785,0"
Note how the first coordinate has eight decimal places while the last coordinate has four decimal places. The extra precision on the lower valued coordinates leads to necessary file bloat. When a drawing has thousands of points this bloat becomes significant.
I would prefer it if inkscape could let me create paths where each coordinate had a set number of decimal places like this:
d="M
0.1704,0
243.5679,0
507.6892,0
801.5262,0
1128.1785,0"

Font size in the Latex Export
by Jan Schmidtbauer
Hi,
I wonder if it is possible to change the fontsize for the LaTeX export,
e.g. to small, for all Latex inputs in the drawing. Maybe there is a
python script which generates the Latex code and where I could add a
\small Latex command.
Thank you in advance for your answers.
