Bug in layers
by Aaron Digulla 27 Feb '06

27 Feb '06

Hello, There is a bug in the layers code when loading an SVG document with a single group (g element) and adding layers to it. In this case, Inkscape will sometimes show "Root" as a layer and when I move objects between the layers, they get sometimes lost. I even had the effect that I moved six elements and afterwards, three were in the layer and three were gone. A couple of undos usually get the objects back. I'd propose that you create a new artificial layer when a document has none and the user adds one (ie. after adding the first layer, the user will have two layers). Alternatively, move all objects into the first created layer. Or, even better, realize layers with classes. Since an object can be in several classes (you have to separate the class names with blanks, I think), objects could be in several layers at once. Regards, -- Aaron "Optimizer" Digulla a.k.a.

Box around text when exported as EPS
by Krishna Ramamurthy 27 Feb '06

27 Feb '06

I'm trying to convert a bitmap of a logo to vector. Trace did a pretty good job, but some of the font serifs weren't quite right so I kept the rest of the image and then recreated the text using the text facility in Inkscape. It all looks fine, but when I export to EPS and then place that into pagemaker, etc. I'm left with a box around the text I created. If I take the SVG file and open it in Illustrator it's fine. If I save as EPS in Illustrator, it's fine. Is this a bug in the EPS export facility in Inkscape or am I doing something wrong? The files are here: http://www.dppi.org.uk/images/DPPILogo.svg http://www.dppi.org.uk/images/DPPILogo.eps Thanks in advance.

Bending text box
by Sylvain Allombert 27 Feb '06

Hello everybody, Not sure how to explain this in english : I'd like to put text around a globe, so would like to be able to have a text box that would fit the curve of the globe. Any idea how to do that in inkscape ? Haven't found anything. Thank you very much. Cheers, Sylvain, France --------------------------------- Nouveau : téléphonez moins cher avec Yahoo! Messenger !

Noob question about shapes
by Lea Hudson 27 Feb '06

27 Feb '06

Hi, After only just discovering Inkscape, I'm just practicing drawing simple, cartoon animals. One thing I'd like to do, but cannot figure out is how to draw an egg shape. The elipse is easy, but how do I narrow the top to make it look more like an actual egg? I've been through the tutorials and think there's probably something really easy I've missed :-) Cheers, Jim --------------------------------- Win a BlackBerry device from O2 with Yahoo!. Enter now.

inkscape and unicode font not working
by Pedro Kroger 27 Feb '06

27 Feb '06

Hi, I'm trying to use inkscape to open a svg file generated by lilypond but I'm having some problems: inkscape shows boxes instead of music notes. I do have the corrected fonts installed (have tried them with other programs). I could narrow the problem down to this: 1. put the emmentaler fonts in ~/.fonts 2. run fc-cache 3. open inkscape, select the emmentaler font from the text tool 4. type ctrl-u e125, that should give me a notehead glyph but I get a non-printable character message instead this url has the otf font and a "print out" with the font glyphs (from fontforge, useful to know the unicode code) in case someone feels like taking a look: http://www.pedrokroeger.net/inkscape/ I thought the problem was related to some library, but firefox can render this beautifully using the emmentaler font: <html>  </html> I'm using inkscape 0.43, fontforge 20060125, and pango 1.10.2. Any ideas or pointers? Best regards, Pedro Kröger

Open Clip Art integration
by aariel 23 Feb '06

23 Feb '06

inkscape-users, New to inkscape. Read through most of the docs and searched quite a bit before posting. How do I integrate open clip art and inkscape? OR how does inkscape make use of hte XML that comes with open clip art? I guess I'm expecting a menu or window to be available in inkscape with thumb nails of all the clip art which I can search based on the XML tags. Thanks, Paul --------------------------------- Yahoo!

NEWBIE: drawing maps ?
by debian 21 Feb '06

21 Feb '06

Please, I am considering the use of Inkscape to draw simple maps. The main problem I see so far is the indication of roads. To do this I need to draw sets of two parallel curves a small distance apart. For rivers I need the same feature, but I need to colour the region between the lines. I also need to create my own objects that I can place anywhere on the map: bridges, canal locks, compass points etc. But I get the impression this is quite easy. How can I go about this ? Thanks Joe Mc Cool

multiple (or multi-axis) gradients
by unknown＠example.com 20 Feb '06

20 Feb '06

Hello all, I'm a new inkscape user with what may be a dumb question, but I haven't yet found an answer through web searches or the mailing list archives. What I want to do is add a gradient to an object which is neither a single linear or elliptical gradient. (In particular, I'm trying to achieve faux-3D bubble effects for web graphics.) I can imagine two likely ways to do it: 1 - Apply multiple linear gradients to the same object and manually adjust their axes to achieve the desired effect. 2 - Apply a gradient that is defined by the orthogonal distance from the edge of an object rather than the distance from some fixed point. But, I can't seem to find any way of doing either in inkscape. Am I missing something? Does such functionality simply not exist (yet)? In case it's useful to the next person searching for help on this, here's my workaround: For object that can be decomposed into a small number of linear sides and involved a flat foreground and background color, I've been mimicking option #2 above as follows. I create an object with solid fill and then overlay it with thin rectangles aligned along each edge. Each rectangle is then given a gradient from background color to transparent. It works well for something simple (like a rectangle), but becomes prohibitively complicated for complex objects. Finally, I want to offer thanks to the developers. I'm very impressed by Inkscape. Haven't come across another piece of software that so perfectly strikes a balance between an intuitive, natural interface and access to a rich feature set. (It more than makes up for the list of pesky gnome libs I had to install in order to get the thing up and running.) Nicely done! - Erik

Stand alone installation? [Windows]
by Thetargos 19 Feb '06

19 Feb '06

What would be the requirements for a standalone installation of Inkscape, say in a USB drive? Would it be possible to use Inkscape from a standalone media, provided GTK+ is installed on the host system, without being installed (as such) in the system?

Problems with configure
by Gerald I. Evenden 19 Feb '06

19 Feb '06

OS:linux FLAVOR: Mandriva 2005LE In attempting to install InkScape I ran into the problem that configure cannot see libgc: checking gc.h usability... yes checking gc.h presence... yes checking for gc.h... yes checking for GC_init in -lgc... yes checking libgc version 6.4+... no configure: error: libgc (the Boehm Conservative Collector) 6.4+, is needed to compile inkscape -- http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc Initially I did not have libgc install but did install it and added the line /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf as suggested by gc instructions. I even went so far as to reboot the system--- to no avail. BTW: gc6.5 was installed. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. -- Jerry and the low riders:Daisy May and Joshua "The being cannot be termed rational or virtuous, who obeys any authority, but that of reason." ---Mary Wollstonecraft 1792
