Navigation dialog - Wish

Are there any plans to make a small navigation box like in Gimp, for Inkscape? I also like how the one in Photoshop works. -Suthern -- Sent from the Inkscape - User forum at Nabble.com: http://www.nabble.com/Navigation-dialog---Wish-t535406.html#a1444258

Fwd: [Inkscape-user-es] Problemas al iniciar inkscape
by Daniel Díaz 12 Nov '05

12 Nov '05

Hey, there! Would somebody have some insight on this issue? The user in the forwarded message says that he installed inkscape-0.42.2-1.static.i686.rpm on his Mandriva LE 2005 (Athlon 2000.) When launching Inkscape, this is what he gets: inkscape: symbol lookup error: inkscape: undefined symbol: g_build_filenamev Any pointers? Greetings! Daniel Díaz yosoy@...72... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Roman Gelbort <romangelbort@...1286...> Date: Nov 11, 2005 12:24 PM Subject: [Inkscape-user-es] Problemas al iniciar inkscape To: inkscape-user-es(a)lists.sourceforge.net Hola a todos! Este es mi primer mail a la lista... es más, por casualidad me enteré al buscar una lista de Inkscape que había ya una en español :) Hoy instalé inkscape-0.42.2-1.static.i686.rpm en un Mandriva LE 2005 sobre un Athlon 2000 y me encuentro que no puedo abrirlo. Por más que la instalación ha creado un ícono en el menú, al picar en él, se queda mudo y no abre nada. Lo siguiente que hice fue abrir una consola y ejecutarlo desde ahí, la respuesta fue esta: inkscape: symbol lookup error: inkscape: undefined symbol: g_build_filenamev ¿Me podrían ayudar a resolver esto?

Divergence between Inkscape and librsvg2
by Hadmut Danisch 11 Nov '05

11 Nov '05

Hi, I just made the attached svg graphics with inkscape 0.42.2 and rendered it with librsvg 2.9.5 with the command rsvg --width 160 eumel.svg eumel.png Both files are attached. Problem 1: The 'A' is at a significantly higher position in the png file. When working with inkscape, the 'A' is below the center of the red circle. Problem 2: When trying rsvg --width 80 eumel.svg eumel.png (same as above, just 80 instead of 160) I get the error message *** attempt to put segment in horiz list twice Which of both programs causes these problems? Is it inkscape or rsvg? regards Hadmut

Rubber stamp effect
by sunil joshi 10 Nov '05

10 Nov '05

I am working on a design - and I would like to make it look a bit "rubber stamp" like. I know this can be done in GIMP, but could this "worn out" effect be potentially done in Inkscape itself? __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com

Missing Connector Tool
by Dave Holmes 08 Nov '05

08 Nov '05

I'm using Inkscape 0.42.2 on Windows XP. For some reason, I can't seem to find the connector tool. In the reference documentation ( http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/ch02s01.html) the connector is shown between the gradient tool and the eye dropper tool; however, in the application that I'm using, it's not there. If I go to the inkscape preferences > tools dialog, I cannot find the connector tool either. Does the tool not exist in this version? If so, which version should I be using? I've attached a screenshot of my version of inkscape for reference. Thanks for the help, - Dave

You may need to increase letterspacing a bit for it >to look good. Thanks for the suggestion, but it doesn't look as nice as the text on top. Increasing the letterspacing creates a slightly better result, but this is not exactly the solution I hoped for. (I was looking for a behaviour similar to CorelDraw, where it is possible to have the upper side of the text on the path.) Also, increasing letterspacing does not seem to work when the text is already on the path. And increasing letterspacing before putting it on the path makes it difficult to predict the final result (and is a lot of trial-and-error work).

https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93438&package_id=991… It is likely that this will be the last prerelease for Inkscape 0.43. If packagers can make packages to ensure the completeness of the package, and if users could make sure it is stable, we'll hopefully be ready to release 0.43! Please submit comments quickly, this prerelease will be a short lived one.

document boundaries
by Jiri Barton 05 Nov '05

05 Nov '05

Hi everyone, I created a document a la inkscape tutorial in inkscape (you can find the links below). I used File | New | no_borders. The problem is this document displays right only in inkscape, at least on my computer. What is wrong? In all the other viewers/editors on my installation, there is only like a small section of the document; this includes inkview (!), scribus, and ksvg (konqueror). When I export the svg to PDF (which was my intention) or PS, the result is the same - only the same old section from the first sixth by the first half of the document. Now, get this. When I view the inkscape tutorial (just any) by inkview, it shows okay. However, it does not show well in scribus or ksvg, nor is the resulting PDF or PS nice at all (missing some images and texts). My questions are, what should I do to make my document view ok in inkview, like the tutorial does? What page, format, or is there another trick? Is there a good paved road to converting an inkscape's document to PDF, so I can show it to other people (on Windows, for example)? Thank you very much in advance. Jiri http://www.hosting4u.cz/jbar/videostop2.svg http://www.hosting4u.cz/jbar/videostop2.pdf P.S. Kubuntu 5.10 Linux on AMD64 Inkscape 0.42 or CVS (2005-10-30) - makes no difference

text style
by Karol Krenski 05 Nov '05

05 Nov '05

Hello list, Would it make sens to include text scale information via Edit->Paste Style? I am talking about XML editor attribute: transform scale(X,Y) I understand that most objects shouldn't have scale information contained in their style information (so that it doesn't automatically scale the objects that will have this style applied), but isn't text different? How else can I have my text look like other text in the document? Isn't this what most people would need/expect? Karol

Rouge Lines
by Bungee 04 Nov '05

04 Nov '05

Sometimes while generating complex drawings I find that I have accidentally created zero width lines. The first I know of this is when printing the document. These lines are quite invisible on-screen unless you *massively* zoom in, and of course know where they are in the first place. They are also very hard to catch and delete. My feeling is that they only show up when printing as the printer has a minimum line width. Would it be possible for Inkscape to incorperate a 'cleanup' feature where such lines/paths can be identified and removed? -- Bungee

From: bulia byak <buliabyak@...155...> >Switch to Node tool (F2) for editing a path. Thanks and yeah I know about the node tool, but if I'm not missing something obvious it doesn't let me draw in changes to the line. It just lets me click and add points and drag in the points, which is at least for me a very very slow work-flow. Do you understand what I'm trying to do? (maybe I'm just missing something obvious in that tool?) Regards Emil

Inkscape Book updated for 0.43
by Tavmjong Bah 03 Nov '05

03 Nov '05

Hello, In great anticipation of the upcoming 0.43 release of Inkscape I have just released an updated version of my book: http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/index.php The updated book adds coverage of: 1. Effects/Extensions 2. Connectors 3. Pressure and tilt using a tablet Coverage has been updated for all Interface and Usability improvements. File exports are covered in greater detail with examples given for each type of export. And a new tutorial has been added showing how to draw a can of Split Pea Soup. Quite a few corrections, both factual and grammatical, have been made. The new book replaces the old book... be careful to refresh the pages or you may end up seeing the old pages from your cache. It you,for some reason, wish to stick with 0.42, the previous version of the book is available at: http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL_v06/html/index.php Comments and corrections are as usual always appreciated.

It looks right to me. But in your example image the repaint starts in one node point and ends in another node point, and it should not work like that but as you say in the text; start and end can be at any point of the line. But maybe that is clear without changing the example image? I don't know if we need to clearify how the pencil should behave when the start point is on the line but the end point ain't. In illustrator all parts of the line after the start point is removed and replaced by the new line you just drew. Do you follow what I mean? Regards Emil

Problem with text-on-path
by Jef Driesen 03 Nov '05

03 Nov '05

I'm trying to recreate a logo (http://users.telenet.be/sacn/logo.png) in vector format. I used the tracing tool for the center image, but for the circle and the surrounding text I started from scratch. But I can't get the text part right. This is more or less what I did: - Add an (invisible) circle as the baseline for the top text. - Use the "Put on path" tool. - Rotate the circle to the correct angle. So far no problem. But when I repeat this for the bottom part of the text (and a copy of the circle), the direction of the text is shown in the wrong direction (clockwise like the text on top). I can get the orientation right by flipping the circle horizontally, but now the text is inside the circle. Is there a way to force the text outside of the circle. (Another possibility would be to have the upper text also inside the circle, but I think this is exactly the same problem.) Jef
