Of Tutorials and Manners
by Aaron Elmquist 28 May '07

28 May '07

I need some input on the open source community on this one. I ran across a simple but neat tutorial on gimptalk.com on how to do woven tribal artwork with GIMP. I've since adjusted the method for inkscape and put a short 5 step tutorial together on how to do the appropriate path manipulations. I would like to post this somewhere. I have tried to contact the original author "Clay Ogre" but have not received a reply. Would I be stepping on anyone's toes if I posted this? If not where could I post it? If so, I'll just keep it as a reference for myself. ~A

Gradient fill Quality (Linux user)
by Paweł Gęga 28 May '07

28 May '07

Hi there, I would like to ask about inkscape gradient fill option. When I use gradients I can easily recognise tone steps in the gradient ..especially when I am using few gredient filled objects with different transparency levels. What might be the reason ? I using Debian , Xorg 24 bit Color Depth. When I draw the same picture under windows with AI or Photoshop the gradients are more smooth. Thanks, Paul

unable to copy objects between documents
by David L 28 May '07

28 May '07

Hi, If I generate text from cairo and create an svg output, I'm able to see the text from inkscape, but attempts to copy that text to a new document fail. As an example, in the source code that I provided in my previous post entitled "object size function of page format?", an svg file is created with an "X" in the center of of a square. If I copy the grouped object containing the square and the "X" into a new document, only the square appears... the X doesn't show up. Where did it go?

Problem with Z order in basic tutorial
by John R. Culleton 27 May '07

27 May '07

Everything works as advertised until I get to the Section on Z-Order. The altl+click and alt+drag either finds the green rectangle or the whole page, which is not what is intended. I use a fairly vanilla verson of Slackware Linux 11 and KDE 3.5. My Inkscape alleges that it is Inkscape 0.45.

Is there an Inkscape mascot or plans for one?
by Valerie VK 26 May '07

26 May '07

I apologize if there is and I simply didn't find it, but a google search mostly turned up results for people using Inkscape to create mascots for Other programs. XD I'm wondering if there's an Inkscape mascot or discussions about one, because I hope to make an Inkscape anime tutorial for my friends eventually, and I thought it might be a good idea to somehow base the design off of something from Inkscape. If Inkscape does not have a mascot yet though, I'll just come up with a random design. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Bored stiff? Loosen up...

Offtopic? Reading .qxd in Linux
by Kat Tanaka Okopnik 25 May '07

25 May '07

This isn't strictly Inkscape oriented. I'm running an all-linux system, and I really need to read some of my old work, which was saved in .qxd (Quark Xpress) format. Anyone out there managed this with a *nix box? -- Kat Tanaka Okopnik Linux Gazette Mailbag Editor kat@...2161...

Overriding colors in cloned objects
by Dave Lawrence 25 May '07

25 May '07

Hi, I am trying to create a set of cloned objects all of which have the same (inherited) fill color, but have different stroke colors. According to all available documentation, the 'Unset color' means that the fill or stroke color will be inherited and this seems to work perfectly. However, if one of cloned objects is set to a specific color nothing appears to happen. The object colors shown on the status bar seem to show the correct information: fill is 'unset', stroke is red. The XML looks correct too: xlink:href to the 'parent' object and 'style' containing 'stroke:red'. Have I missed something? Many thanks,

XD> I'll take your word for it, thank you very much! :-) Happy salamander (or frog)?!? Gee!!! Wait... Wow, now I can the mountain (and maybe a mushroom). I must admit that I always thought myself crazy for seeing a mean-looking squid in the logo. Wait... Darn it, the squid is back and it looks much bigger and meaner. Someone should send the logo to psychiatric professionals so that they can use it in their examinations... _________________________________________________________________ News, entertainment and everything you care about at Live.com.
