Making Screen Units and SVG Units the same
by Philip Rhoades 12 Sep '16

12 Sep '16

People, When I create a new image, I get a page that, in Landscape mode, is 800 units wide and 600 units high. I know that the origin for the SVG y-axis is at the top-left of the screen and the positive direction is down and the reverse is the case for the Inkscape y-axis and I am not concerned for this exercise about printed output. I just want the absolute units on the screen to correspond to the absolute units in the SVG file that Inkscape produces - is this possible? (I couldn't find anything in the program or Googling . .) Thanks, Phil. -- Philip Rhoades PO Box 896 Cowra NSW 2794 Australia E-mail: phil@...2067...

Isometric Inkscape logo
by Martin Owens 06 Aug '16

I thought this design was really interesting and wanted to share with the rest of the inkscape community: https://inkscape.org/it/~Alex_L/%E2%98%85inkscape-icon-for-kde-breeze-i con-theme It's been made so the icon can be visible on dark themes. I kind of like the look, and if we ever did a special version for CNC/cad this is the logo I'd use :-) Best Regards, Martin Owens

Transparency bug with clipping ?
by Pierre Massat 04 Aug '16

04 Aug '16

Dear all, I'm working on a poster (which needs to be delivered tomorrow...), and when attempting to export it as pdf I realized that some transparency was lost. After quite some time spent trying to figure it out, it turns out that it's most likely because of clipping. Transparent objects in a clipped group loose their transparency when exported, while they keep it if their group is not clipped (e.g. when I ungroup the clipped group). Please see the file attached. Try to export it as pdf, with all defaults. You should see that the circles on the main map at the top are transparent, while those who belong to a group that was clipped (for instance in the zoomed map of Europe at the top, or in both maps at the bottom). This looks a lot like a bug to me. Do you know how I can fix that ? I need the clipped version of the map of course, the other one won't fit in my layout... Thank you in advance for your help. Pierre.
