translate Attribute stored in SVG Graphic
by Rottgardt, Jens (K-SIB-2/3) 03 Apr '08

03 Apr '08

Hi, this is my first posting to this forum and I hope I send my questions to the right email address ;-) 1. Why does Inkscape uses the path tag for circles instead of the existing circle tag? 2. When painting a circle in Inkscape and moving it the move is stored in the transform translate tag. Can anyone tell me why ? <<Bild (Geräteunabhängige Bitmap)>> This has the effect that the circle is displayed in my application at the position where it is placed in Inkscape but when moving it the circle is first set to the previous position (without translation) and then moved from that position ! __________________ Jens Rottgardt Buildmanagement ITP Fahrzeugherstellung, K-SIB 2 Postadresse: Volkswagen AG Brieffach 1839 38436 Wolfsburg Besucheradresse: Volkswagen AG Hermann-Münch-Straße 1 (MobileLife Campus) 38442 Wolfsburg > Telefon +49 -5361-896-3276 Telefax +49 (0) 5361-896-3296 mailto:jens.rottgardt@...2472... <http://www.volkswagen.de> > VOLKSWAGEN AG > Sitz/Domicile: Wolfsburg > Registergericht/Court of Registry: Amtsgericht Braunschweig > HRB Nr./.

Question on the Inkscape Parser
by Kim Hovorka 03 Apr '08

03 Apr '08

Hello, This is my first attempt to submit a question via email. I have been using the new Inkscape with SVG that is created from a text file from a different application and the formatting is correct for the XML. The issue I would like addressed is that the parsing of the Text Tag blows up in Inkscape. There are valid visible/printable characters used between the Tags such as & < or diacritical characters and these make the svg file refused by Inkscape. The file will import fine in to Scribus but I don't want to use that as there is another issue with Scribus. I think Inkscape looks much more promising and the only problem is the one mentioned here as far as using the files I need to open in Inkscape. I no it is probably not trivial but I do think that this is a parsing bug. I am attaching a stripped down version of the file I try to open so it can be reviewed and used for testing. I also figured maybe the issue would get looked at quicker this way? Sincerely, Kim H. ____________________________________________________________________________________ You rock.

Official Inkscape 0.46 OSX package for Tiger (10.4) users
by Michael Wybrow 01 Apr '08

01 Apr '08

Hello OSX Tiger users, I have posted an Inkscape 0.46 package for Tiger (10.4.x) users: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/inkscape/Inkscape-0.46-2.TIGER.UNIVERSAL.d… This package was built complete from a PPC 10.4.11 machine, and since I do not have access to an Intel Mac running 10.4.11 it has not been tested on Intel hardware. If you have an Intel 10.4.11 machine, could you please let me know if the package works for you? Apologies for the initial lack of Inkscape 0.46 package for Tiger users. Producing packages for older OS releases is always more difficult when the Inkscape Mac developers are no longer using that OS for their normal builds, and building Universal packages, even more so! (Our CompilingMacOsX wiki page is currently out of date, but will be shortly updated to reflect the steps used to build these official packages.) Cheers, Michael

Filters Effects
by Michael Grosberg 01 Apr '08

01 Apr '08

Please help me understand Filer effects! I'm trying to play with the filters but I must be missing something, they have explanations of what they do in the UI but when I try them most of them only turn the shape into a black / white/ transparent rectangle that looks like a bug. The only ones I got to work are blur and color matrix. Are they supposed to work? do they only work for certain type of object? Also, I don't understand something in the UI. In the filters dialog there's this complicated looking effect/connections table which I can't seem to do anything with. Is there an explanation somewhere on how to work with all this?
