EPS font problems
by David Soukal 29 Nov '05

29 Nov '05

Hello!! It's been some time since I asked for help here... Inkscape, that I use daily, has grown and improved tremendously since!! Thanks guys!! I have the following small problem: I am creating a lot of figures for my thesis in Inkscape. I generate my plots in Matlab and use Inkscape to fine tune the result and to add annotations. Since I am using PSFrag to get the final annotations in LaTeX, I am exporting my graphics into EPS format. My problem is that it seems as if the font information in my EPS has been incorrectly coded. Let me be more specific. I am using the font Verdana for my text. I would create, say, a vertical arrow and I want to have a text whose center is aligned with the arrow. I do that in Inkscape and everything looks as it should. However, in the exported EPS, the text is slightly off the center. The reason is that the font is different and hence the size of the text is different. The net result is that the annotation is slightly off in the final PDF file. First I thought that PSFrag's interpreter of PS format is broken: I thought it cannot find either the font description in the EPS or it cannot find the font itself (to get the dimension of the text). However, Scribus and Konqueror have the same problem: they lack the information about the font and use some default. The EPS file, however, does contain the font info. But in this compicated format /newlatin1font {findfont dup length dict copy dup /Encoding ISOLatin1Encoding put definefont} def /Verdana-ISOLatin1 /Verdana newlatin1font the references to this font look like /Verdana-ISOLatin1 findfont however, previous versions of Inkscape would create simply /Verdana findfont. Is there something I can do? Does this mean that Scribus & Konqueror do not respect the standard? There's workaround using PSFrag: I align the left side of the text with the arrow and then tell PSFrag to center the text in the final PDF. While this works OK, the problem is that the EPS does not really bear any information about the alignment itself.. so I suspect I'll forget when I look at the figure later :) THANK YOU for any insight!

Registration marks for printing
by Ben Powers 26 Nov '05

26 Nov '05

Hello! I need to know if Inkscape is able to produce registration marks from several channels on a drawing. What I mean is that I have a drawing with 3 channels (white black and grey), each with their own dimensions, but overlapping, black on grey on white. I need to print the grey image on a white paper, and then the black image on top of that. The method I'm using is photo- emulsion printing. In photo emulsion printing, one coats a screen in a light-sensitive emulsion, then exposes that screen to light with the image (in opaque) in between the light source and the screen. The areas where the light reaches the emulsion become hard, and the unexposed regions wash out, creating a negative of the image, which is then printed much like any other silkscreen print. In my image, I need to place both channels on one screen, and then register them on the page using registration marks in the corners. Can inkscape do this? Blessed Be, Bennyp

Large SVG won't export to PNG--need some help
by Benjamin Orchard 26 Nov '05

26 Nov '05

I have a largish (7+ MB) file (high-res: 7200x7200 px). When I try to export this file the program crashes very consistently. I have tried this on several machines, and so I am forced to consider the _very_ ugly possibility that I will have to recreate this from scratch. This would go fairly quickly, but we are talking about a rather complex document here that I just don't want to redo. I have vacuumed the defs, but that didn't help. If anyone has any idea about the best aproach to healing files, I would greatly appreciate it. I have also checked that the computers in question will export other files, and they do that just fine. As a semi-side note, one of the times this happened, it also corrupted the svg quite nastily (when I opened it in a text-editor, it was completely garbled), and I had to recreate the file from a somewhat dated backup. I now keep *much* better backups, but this is getting to be a real issue. I even tried opening said file in GIMP (which will open svgs), but this crashed the GIMP! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Benjamin Orchard

Re: [Inkscape-user] A nicer look for Inkscape/MacOS X: easy to implement

> I have followed Ben Powers' advice to change the interface aspect > from a somewhat austere X11 look to a nicer Aqua look (see > http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.graphics.inkscape.user/3967) I'd like this. I usually use Inkscape on my Linux computer, but I'm trying to get my wife to use it more, on the Mac. Having the nicer looking theme on the Gimp helped her make the transition more easily. I've never actually been successfully building GTK on OSX, and don't have developer tools on her machine, so I don't know that I can actually help on this, but I would definitely cheer for it. :-) Thanks, -- Michael Moore ------------------------------- www.stuporglue.com -- Articles, software and computer tutorials. www.stuporglue.org -- Donate your used computer to a student that needs it.

A nicer look for Inkscape/MacOS X: easy to implement
by H.Fagard 24 Nov '05

24 Nov '05

Hi all, I have followed Ben Powers' advice to change the interface aspect from a somewhat austere X11 look to a nicer Aqua look (see http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.graphics.inkscape.user/3967) Could this be included in the next releases of Inkscape's MacOS X distribution? A preference setting might also be added to allow selecting between this theme and the original one (in case some Mac users still prefer it). Thanks in advance, Herve

Sugg:put options in main window
by Ben Powers 24 Nov '05

24 Nov '05

hi-ho I have an interface suggestion/request: put the options such as fill and stroke, font, font-size, etc in the main window, perhaps along the bottom edge, or in a control pane I use inkscape frequently to create diagrams for my studies, particularily in biology. I feel I could do this much more quickly and efficiently if I didn't have to switch back and forth between dialog boxes. here's a gimpy mockup i made real quick of one possible interface: Blessed Be, Bennyp

0.43 unable to open existing SVG files
by H.Fagard 23 Nov '05

23 Nov '05

Hi all, I have downloaded and installed yesterday Inkscape 0.43 (MacOS X version). It launches fine, but if I try to open a SVG file, either created with the former version of Inkscape or with Adobe Illustrator, I get an error message saying: "Failed to load the requested file /Users/hf/..." although the file preview is displayed properly in the open dialog. I have then tried to create a new file with Inkscape 0.43, quit Inkscape, re-launch it, and tried to re-open the file Inkscape 0.43 had just created: same result, failed to load the file. Fortunately I had kept my former version of Inkscape so I could revert to it. Herve

Teeny tiny print
by Edward Hume 23 Nov '05

23 Nov '05

OK, I'm an old guy. But Inkscape 0.43-1 for Windows32 does not use my system's fontsize definitions for its menubars and menus. Instead, I get this really tiny type. This is a usability issue. In Windows, we have been able to set our own fontsizes systematically. Inkscape should follow the system. When you young guys hit 50, you'll want larger type, too. Ed

From Inkscape to Flash
by Tobias Eitel ... unterwegs ... 22 Nov '05

22 Nov '05

Hi everyone, the FAQ states that "you can export graphics from Inkscape to use it in Flash". Which is the recommended file format? I am planning to do a very very simple animation, basically just some self drawn shapes moving over the screen. The idea is to draw the backgrounds and moving objects in inkscape and then export to flash. Are there any reports of successfully using inkscape for that?

RE: [Inkscape-user] Cut off digits after decimal point automatically?
by Dave Holmes 22 Nov '05

22 Nov '05

That's a good point you raise about throwing out zeros first because they are not significant digits. It would be interesting to see a script that compressed the image by removing extra digits as Henning suggested, but also allowed you to determine how much loss you were willing to accept. With the range of compression options such as: - lossless where it only throws out zeros eg. .75000000 >> .75, 143.23123576 >> 143.23123576 - lots of loss rounds all coordinates to nearest whole number, all opacity values to two decimal digits (so the percentage is a whole number) eg. .75000000 >> .75, 143.23123576 >> 143 - somewhere in between allows a user to specify how many digits to round off eg. .750 >> .75, 143.23123576 >> 143.231 I'm sure it would be possible to further optimize the compression by doing things like changing path names to shorter values, remove whitespace, convert styles to a style sheet, etc. - Dave -----Original Message----- From: inkscape-user-admin(a)lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:inkscape-user-admin@lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of mental@...32...

It seems like the numbers like 0.75000000 would be better candidates for throwing out digits (as those zeroes are not significant). For paths, throwing out the fractional part of all coordinates is likely to cause visible distortions. -mental ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.

How to select
by Hago Ziegler 21 Nov '05

21 Nov '05

Hi, if I have 5 objects, one over the other, partly transparent, and the lowest is not larger, but even smaller than the other ones. What is the most simple way to select the lowest object? Until now, if I didn't put them all on different layers, I always lowered the other objects, but that's a lot of work and sometimes everything gets mixed up. So, is there a smarter way? Regards, Hago
