Get Previews from the Open Clip Art Library

by E. G. A.

Just an absolute newbie running Inkscape 0.48.2 in a well working, really beautiful, vintage declared but loved computer (2.1 GHz PowerPC G5 & Mac OS X.5.8). To get Previews from the Open Clip Art Library*, it is needed to be registered at the openclipart.org site and fill up the user account data in the Inkscape Preferences**? * File > Import from Open Clip... ** Import/Export > Open Clip Art Library Username & Password. Thank you. -- Eneko Gotzon Ares

New mounted video for SpiroLive feature

by Jabiertxo Arraiza Cenoz

Hi to all! I finish my first "a bit producced" video [1] about SpiroLive feature in inkscape. I want to do the same whith all others features i develop... For the moment in the video page i put a share of all sources i use to develop the video. Thanks to Martin, Gez and Gabo for his gratefoul offer to make off-voice, maybe in futures videos i ask to them but while(is enought easy) i could work whith videos and youtube notes... The music is far away from the video, like usual and want. Thanks for your 5 minutes of your live. Jabier. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFakiI5f0-Y

New releases?

by Christopher B. Wright

Have there been any discussions as to when the next version of Inkscape will be formally released? We've been on 0.48.4 since December 2012. In mid-December 2013 you announced that version .49 would be released as version .91, but since then there has been no information since about version .91 -- what it would do, when it would be available, nothing. Obviously Inkscape works well enough for my needs, since I'm still using it, I'm just wondering what the plans are for moving it forward. -- Christopher B. Wright (wrightc@...537...)

Interactive diagrams using Inkscape

by William Adams

I drew up some for the Shapeoko assembly instructions: http://docs.shapeoko.com/ Documented the process in the forums: http://www.shapeoko.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=2930 Here's a recap in case anyone finds the code / technique of interest: - open up either a .svg or .ai (don't ask) version - set the file properties to width==800, height == 400 - select everything in the file and size it to 400 x 400 starting at 0,0 - set each line of parts information in Ubuntu 10pt. Regular and Bold - left align each text block and set them at x==450 - vertically distribute them evenly for a nice appearance - select all the text, copy it, create a new layer, paste it in place into the new layer and hide the layer and send it to the bottom of the layer stack. - open up highlight.svg select the invisible object and copy it - switch back to the file you're working on and paste in and size and arrange enough copies to encompass every possible part which needs highlighting - select all the highlights for a given part and group them - set the Object Properties ID of the group to match the part it highlights Highlight.<partname> (remember to click the ``Set'' button) - select the matching text and set its colour to red --- set its ID to Showthe.<partname> - disclose the interactivity tab and set the onclick property to this.style.display='none';document.getElementById("Highlight.<partname>").style.opacity="1.0"; - set the onmouseover property to this.style.cursor='pointer' - show the layer w/ the duplicated text - select the matching text object - set the onmouseover property to this.style.cursor='pointer' - set the onclick property to document.getElementById("Highlight.<partname>").style.opacity="0.0";document.getElementById("Showthe.<partname>").style.display="inline"; - set the ID to Button.<partname> - repeat for each part List of the processed files here: http://www.shapeoko.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=2992&p=22732 http://docs.shapeoko.com/content/tPictures/25203-02-100.svg http://docs.shapeoko.com/content/tPictures/25197-02-100.svg http://docs.shapeoko.com/content/tPictures/PS20022-100.svg http://docs.shapeoko.com/content/tPictures/PS20021-100.svg http://docs.shapeoko.com/content/tPictures/PS20029-100.svg http://docs.shapeoko.com/content/tPictures/PS20028-100.svg http://docs.shapeoko.com/content/tPictures/PS20030-100.svg http://docs.shapeoko.com/content/tPictures/PS20031-100.svg http://docs.shapeoko.com/content/tPictures/PS20023-100.svg http://docs.shapeoko.com/content/tPictures/PS20026-100.svg http://docs.shapeoko.com/content/tPictures/PS20024-100.svg I still need to find the time to re-draw the individual parts and re-create the diagrams so that the filesizes aren't so bloated (one of them is ~15MB) William -- William Adams senior graphic designer Fry Communications Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow.

Re: [Inkscape-user] CMYK in PDF from Inkscape

by Gez

Judah: Buddy, it helps if you read what I wrote. I never said that the PDFs created by inkscape are ready for press. I've always talked about taking them to Scribus to export them as PDF. You can use an intermediate or late binding workflow that way. Early binding is simply impossible using Inkscape, but using inkscape as a tool in your intermediate/late binding pipeline is possible, and valid for professional print. I've talked against the knowledge that early-binding is the only way to go for press. Because it is not. If you're using an intermediate or late binding workflow, it is not a problem that Inkscape doesn't support CMYK. Now, if you want to twist again all that I say just because you want to win this one, go ahead. Gez.

Re: [Inkscape-user] Inkscape-user Digest, Vol 97, Issue 2

Why not? That's exactly what the late-binding workflow consists of. > The colourspace is CMYK, the profile will depend on the output. CMYK is the color model, the colorspace depends on the device. If you want to send CMYK to print, it's important you know WHAT CMYK (what profile). Otherwise your CMYK numbers are meaningless (they could have been designated for a different printer). I mentioned the two Pantone bridge books for US and Euro markets because they are a good example of that. > I don't really want to continue with this thread, whatever you say > next > I will agree to (depends on what you say, but I will) and we can > put it to rest. Look, I just wanted to help you. I suggest you to investigate a little more about color management for print, because you have some facts wrong. But it's not just you. A lot of people in the print world are just too used to the early binding practices, believing that CMYK values stripped from any colorspace information are better in terms of color rendition than a color managed conversion from RGB to a specific CMYK profile. If you're not interested to contiue this thread, fine by me. Gez.
