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

Inkscape svg vs. plain svg.
by john Culleton 11 Jan '16

I know that some features of Inkscape svg go beyond the official svg standard and hence may not be interpreted properly by web browsers etc. Is there a list of these features somewhere? -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

Offset LPE
by Jabiertxo Arraiza Cenoz 30 Nov '15

Hi to all. This is a mail about the "new" LPE offset I made with the help of the previous work of Liam P. White. in Join Type LPE and the Krzysztof Kosiński on new boolops code. The video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfzvXD9jrAk This code is slow than previous (non lpe) with Livarot, I try to improve it but is slower. By the other side it bring to the user the ability to use non rounded join types on increment offseting. Any way I couldent full remove Livarot from the code want, is using to hadle nonzero fills and for simplify the paths. Not sure about the LPE, I spend a lot of effort improving it, but i couldent get it like Livarot one and think is a blocking problem to substitute SPOffset code like Mc- want, but maybe can be a first step to other dev... Another way can redone or mix it with Libarot but maybe is a back step. But if is not a problem, and while getting better result, we can do a LPE to offset like SPOffet do, allowing to remove SPOffset from the code. Also I hope could make join types diferent than rounded except extrapolated arc :(. Cheers, Jabier.

problem (bug?) Wireframe Sphere extension
by Brynn 29 Nov '15

29 Nov '15

Hi Friends, I've just been experimenting with the Render > Wireframe Sphere extension, and found some unexpected behavior. Want to make sure if it's a bug or not, before I possibly make an unecessary report. Or maybe there's another place besides LP where it should be reported (assuming it's a bug)? Attached is a PNG export of what I see. These are the settings which produced it, although I tried several other radius values which also produced it. Lat = 8 Long = 16 Tilt = 0 Rot = 0 Rad = 145.0 Window 7, 64-bit, Inkscape 0.91, 32-bit (exe installer) So far, the trigger seems to be the Radius value -- over 100 px gives the unexpected result, and under 100 gives the expected result. I haven't tested with other options. But I could if it would be helpful. Should this be reported? Thank you very much :-) brynn

trace bitmap on filtered JPG image
by Brynn 24 Nov '15

24 Nov '15

Hi Friends, I was just playing around with a JPG, a filter, and Trace Bitmap. The filter is Filters menu > Image Paint and Draw > Posterize Basic. No matter what settings I use for that filter, for example Levels = 1 or Levels = 10 (which produce very different results) after I use Trace Bitmap, the result is identical to if I use Trace Bitmap with no filter at all. What gives? Doesn't Trace Bitmap "see" the filter? I can provide screenshots or examples, if necessary. Thanks for your help, brynn

I recommend you convert it to vector using Inkscape's trace bitmap feature: https://youtu.be/i-xxhphybnE This will automatically make the white parts transparent, then you can set the colours of the vines to white, and change the opacity to create your water mark. -C On 22 Nov 2015 4:39 pm, "Joanne Rancourt" <joannerancourt@...12...> wrote: > I wanted to use parts of this image and add my name to it > > http://www.clker.com/clipart-butterfly-scroll-70.html# > > but when I did save as a png and tried to use it as a watermark it was not > transparent. > > > ------------------------------ > *From:* C R <cajhne@...155...> > *To:* Joanne Rancourt <joannerancourt@...12...>; Inkscape User Community > <inkscape-user(a)lists.sourceforge.net> > *Sent:* Sunday, 22 November 2015, 15:31 > *Subject:* Re: [Inkscape-user] Beginner > > Can you post an image of the design you wish to combine with your name? > There are many many ways to make a watermark, seeing what you want to > include in the watermark will help us give you a better answer. > > > On 22 Nov 2015 12:50 pm, "Joanne Rancourt" <joannerancourt@...12...> > wrote: > > at the moment I am just trying to create a watermark. > > ------------------------------ > *From:* C R <cajhne@...155...> > *To:* Inkscape User Community <inkscape-user(a)lists.sourceforge.net> > *Cc:* Joanne Rancourt <joannerancourt@...12...> > *Sent:* Sunday, 22 November 2015, 0:21 > *Subject:* Re: [Inkscape-user] Beginner > > Are you cropping all your images to the same size before applying your > watermark? > On 21 Nov 2015 8:00 pm, "Brynn" <brynn@...3089...> wrote: > > Hi Joanne, > I've compiled a collection of links to all the best Inkscape > tutorials that I know about, and divided them into beginner, intermediate > and advanced.

Can you post an image of the design you wish to combine with your name? There are many many ways to make a watermark, seeing what you want to include in the watermark will help us give you a better answer.
