Skew confusion
by Douglas Straub 11 Mar '06

11 Mar '06

Hi, I'm a bit confused over how skew is supposed to function. When I perform a horizontal skew of 20px on a 100x100px rectangle, I get a bounding box of 120x100px, with the top shifted right 10px, and the bottom shifted left 10px. But when I perform a horizontal skew of 20px on a 100x64px rectangle, I get a bounding box of 112.8x64px. 12.8 = 6.4.x2? Why does the height affect the amount of horiz skew when horizontal skew amount is specified? Any suggestions? Running 0.43 on linux gentoo amd64. thx, des test signature __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Printing and fonts on MacOS X
by Marco De Vitis 09 Mar '06

09 Mar '06

Hello, I'm using Inkscape 0.43 on MacOS 10.4.5, and I encountered a couple of problems when preparing a very simple drawing to be printed (it only contained two labels): 1. first of all, I don't understand if/how can I print a drawing; Inkscape does not seem to access system printers (like other X11 apps, e.g. Gimp.app, do instead), and printing with its default options does not seem to have any result; 2. then, I also noticed that not all my available fonts show up in the text properties dialog, e.g. I downloaded today a free font called "Aardvark Cafe", it shows up correctly in Gimp.app, but it's not shown in the Inkscape font list. Any clues? Thanks a lot. -- Ciao, Marco.

08 Mar '06

Hi everybody, I start really to like inkscape (up to now I was always using xfig for my drawings, but I was missing transparency, so I dont need really sophisticated stuff) but I am a little bit iritated by the behaviour of the arrows. I could not figure out how to make one like this: <------------> This works but is not what I need: <------------< I am using version 0.39.

I need a pi!
by Cecile Hebert 08 Mar '06

08 Mar '06

Hello everybodo, OK, I know I should read the archive of the mailing list, the documenation first and try to install the newest version of inkscape (I use 0.39), but I nearly finished a figure for a paper I need *today* and I am just missing a letter pi (the greek letter): for one reason I don't understand I don't see all the fonts I have in other program like the gimp (I am working with SuSe linux 9.1). My only solution at this moment is export the drawing to png and add the letter with gimp... ist there an other solution??? Thanks Cécile -- Dr. Cécile Hébert, Inst. f.

Text flow
by Alberto Simões 06 Mar '06

06 Mar '06

Hi One of the annoyances of Inkscape is writting text. Is planned (or in CVS) any version of inkscape with text flow, where you can do automatic word-wrap (and btw, text justification?)? Thanks for inkscape :) -- Alberto Simões

Importing LaTeX output
by Alberto Simões 05 Mar '06

Hi Is there any easy way to generate a string in LaTeX and incorporate it in Inkscape? In fact, I do not need anything fancy... just need to get the proper formating of the \LaTeX command for a LaTeX book cover. Thanks for any ideas, Alberto -- Alberto Simões

Projective Transform

Is there any way to do a projective transform in Inkscape right now? Affine is fine and all, but I have a drawing I really want to apply keystoning to, and well..

troubles with printing
by unknown＠example.com 02 Mar '06

02 Mar '06

Hello everybody, I'm using Inkscape (0.43) on Gentoo (2005.1) and experiencing follwing troubles with printing: a) can't get any print dialog (it does direct printig instead); b) does not print text (everything elese is printed well). I'm using CUPS for printing. This behaviour is independent of the desktop environment I use (KDE, Gnome or Enlightenment-0.17). Does anybody have an idea why does that happen and how to fix that? Any help would be very appreciated. Darius ___________________________________________________ Try the New Netscape Mail Today!

funny Circle setting
by stu seven-2 01 Mar '06

01 Mar '06

...I've been using Inkscape more as I learn more about it... one feature I have not yet learned to use involves Inkscape's saving of drawing settings... when I use the CIRCLE/Ellipse tool this will often "stick" on a setting, giving me only segments of a circle, with bold radii... I've now learned to "fix" this, but only by random messing with the handles, and rebooting. Is there a menu item, for instance, where we can "draw full circles" only, or something similar ? Thanks / Inkscape rocks ! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/funny-Circle-setting-t1201979.html#a3172563 Sent from the Inkscape - User forum at Nabble.com.

Once I use a lot of objects inkscape is too slow
by Ladislav Andel 28 Feb '06

28 Feb '06

Hi, Firstly, Thank you for this open source project. I've just started using this software but came across problem when I have a lot of objects in one window. It becomes very slow and then not usable if I compare the acceleration with eg. Corel Draw. In Corel Draw on WinXP I have the same amount of objects and it's fine but inkscape's slows down rapidly. I have processor Sempron 2800+ and NVidia FX5200 graphic card running on Knoppix. Is there any way how to make it inkscape working faster? Some kind of acceleration, something like directx for linux? Maybe recompiling the kernel properly? I didn't have time for this yet though. I'm quite new to linux too. Hopefully somebody has an answer for me.. Thank you. Ladislav

Autopackage: dependence on libcairo.so.2
by Norbert Nemec 27 Feb '06

27 Feb '06

Hi there, I'm usually working at a workstation at university which is centrally administered, so I'm really thankful for the Inkscape autopackages that allow me to use the development version without much installation hassle. However the latest autopackage 20062270113 seems to depend on libcairo.so.2 which is not installed. Our machines contain a nearly clean and fairly complete Debian stable, so I think this dependence should generally be avoided in the autopackage.
