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.

I did end up using both the regular object fills and the paint bucket
while temporarily turning some layers off.

People,
Sorry it took me a while to get back to this - other dramas to deal with

Yes, that is what I found.

Hi, I'd like to get more eyes on this, maybe stir up support.
by Jerry Segers
Hi, I had an idea for a feature in inkscape, and I submitted a wishlist bug on 5-17-2014 and noone seems interested. It is a suggestion for a LPE for a spirograph pattern generator. I did some research and found the necessary math info to make the shapes, and the algorithm needed to make the result from the math usable in inkscape. I was thinking it would be great for certificates, and suchlike. Plus I think it would just be great fun to play with. Is anyone else interested? Maybe someone who knows calculus and c++? Anyway, here’s the link if you’re interested.

Fill "only on one layer"
by Philip Rhoades
People,
I am trying to create a series of sketches to show changes to roof
tressles (I want to create a wide manhole - see start of first sketch
attached) but I have run into problems with adding a fill colour (as
shading for the beams). It seems like it would be quicker and easier
for me if I could get the fill action to fill on ONE layer instead of
taking all of the lines for all the of layers into account - but this
doesn't appear to work? - is it possible somehow?
Thanks,
Phil.

Colors in image conversion from svg to PDF
by Bernhard Kleine
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi,
while preparing color images for printing in a book two years ago, I
noticed that the colors in the final pdf did not match those colors I
had chosen. The conversion from svg to pdf was obviously not correct. I
did not follow the discussion but would like to know whether the problem
remains or that there are ways to have the pdf the same colors as svg
drawings.
Kind regards
Bernhard

script for union of all paths of the same color
by Götz Freytag
Hello all,
I would like to find an automatic solution for the following workflow.
* open/import file (eg. eps format)
o select all paths of color x (ctr+f in xml editor for first
hex-color string)
o ctrl++ to union selection
o repeat for all remaining colors
* export to svg
or, if you will,
<http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=19402#>
|open or import file (eg. eps format);
for (all colors in drawing)
{
select all paths of the current color;
perform union on selected paths;
}
export drawing;
|
I suppose there should be a solution along the lines of
|inkscape -f input.eps --verb=EditDeselect
--select=allPathsOfSameColors --verb=SelectionUnion --export-simple-svg|
However, I have no clue how to go about selecting all paths of the same
color or how to iterate over all colors.
Any help or pointers would be very much appreciated.
Cheers
Götz
