>What is the simplest set of operations which can >allow me to recolor the squares (combining paths, >breaking them apart, turning into bitmap, back >again, filling derived paths etc.) Here's my starter for 10 (well, 11, plus a repetition, so 15 really) 1. Ungroup 2. Select the coloured squares and remove the stroke 3. Select everything, then un-select the three coloured squares 4. Stroke to Path 5. Union, so all black lines are a single object 6. Select black lines 7. Duplicate three times, so there are four sets of black lines 8. Select yellow square, then select black lines (one set of) 9. Difference, which cuts the yellow square into nine, and destroys one set of black lines 10. Repeat 7. and 8. for the other colours 11. Break apart the coloured squares, so their colours can be set individually. Can anyone streamline this process? __________________________________________________ Phil Hibbs | Capgemini | Rotherham Technical Consultant __________________________________________________ This message contains information that may be privileged or confidential and is the property of the Capgemini Group.

Inkscape Book update
by Tavmjong Bah 31 Aug '05

31 Aug '05

Hi, In celebration of the 0.42.2 release, I have made a new release of my book on Inkscape. It now covers more that 90% of the Inkscape user interface. It is still a work in progress. The chapters at the beginning and end need work and it is a bit short on examples. The book documents v0.42. It will be updated for v0.43 when that release gets closer in time. You can have a look at: http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/index.php Constructive comments and corrections are always welcome. Tav PS. Would it be possible to add a link to the book from the Documentation page ( http://www.inkscape.org/doc/index.php ) ?

Postscript and PDF: Text not as path
by Bernhard Walle 29 Aug '05

29 Aug '05

Hello, is there an option so save text as text in Inkscape when exporting Postscript or PDF? Something must be implemented because when saving as EPS, there is a checkbox for this, but this is missing for PS and PDF. It would be very nice because the display quality in Adobe Reader is much better and the text can be copied. Regards, Bernhard

optimize SVG
by Adib Taraben 29 Aug '05

29 Aug '05

Hello all, once upon a time ..., no seriously couple of weeks ago I have been contacted by Joseph Merdas ( shemeri_at_hotmail_dot_com ). He writes a thesis about optimizing SVG. He had couple of questions and needed some answers. I promised him to contact the inkscape list with the many friedly peopels dealing with svg every day for further feedback and background info. Joseph examines how to optimize SVG in different ways: -optimize for render speed, -optimize for size -etc He has ideas about some tricks that also inkscape is using by simplify feature, also reordering the elements, moving the attributes, etc. One of his concerns is that the change in the structure of a document may corrupt the document for build-in ECMA-script proccessing. Because the elements are differtly orderd, are vanished or have different attributes etc. and so the DOM is deifferent. Now he has the first result ready. An java implemented optimizer, that also checks the rendering results. I would please everyone to give some feedback. His project page can be found at: http://myfriendsnet.com/svg/survey.php Many thanks, Adib.

How to print transparent graphics?
by Bernhard Walle 29 Aug '05

29 Aug '05

Hello Inkscape users, transparency is a great feature, I really like it. :-) But how to print in Inkscape? PS doesn't support transparency, PDF is currently only PS converted with Ghostscript. Scribus is far from import my SVGs in the same way than drawed in Inkscape (at least if I use flowed text). So, does anybody have an idea? The only thing which comes in mind is to render as PNG with a reasonable resolution and print that -- but that's a lot of work if the size should be the same as in the SVG file. Thanks for your ideas! Regards, Bernhard

Hello, if I print using "Print..." in the file menu, no text is printed. If I print using "Print direct", all works. Is this a known issue or am I doing something wrong? Also, the dots in "Print..." are confusing because no print dialog appears. Regards, Bernhard

stroke width issue
by Royden Yates 29 Aug '05

29 Aug '05

I am working in Inkscape 0.42 (autopackage and apt installed on 2 Ubuntu linux boxes (autopackage is hoary, apt is breezy)). With a .svg file exported from paths in Gimp 2.2.8, on both installations, the stroke width dialogue behaves strangely, incrementing the stroke width only upwards by large amounts and then locking out at 1000.0 px. Width then is adjustable just by entering a number rather than the using the scrolls and even then it goes to a different value than the one entered. This behaviour goes away if I import the file into Scribus and reset the stroke width (Scribus behaves properly on this) and then export it and then open in Inkscape. This does not happen if svg file is Inkscape created. I have looked at bugs but nothing seen. Before I submit, is this behaviour known? Thanks in advance for any insights, R -- Royden Yates

0.42.2 still crashes when being started
by Timo Gransch 28 Aug '05

28 Aug '05

Hi! I just reported this bug on Sourceforge - as 0.41 and 0.42 did, my self-compiled Inkscape 0.42.2 crashes right after being called on my Slackware 10.1. Please see item 1275076 in the bug tracker for detailed information (the bt output of gdb is added as a comment). Unfortunately the only way to use inkscape on my computer is to install the inkscape-0.41-i486-1jed.tgz binary package, which is outdated. Does anyone else have this problem? Regards, Timo

Win XP Pro SP2 Crash on Open/Save Dialogs...

For some reason, after downloading Inkscape 0.42.2, I've had nothing but problems with it. Whenever I try to open a file or save a file, once the dialog pops up, it just locks and eventually I have to end the process in the Task Manager. Has anybody else had this problem or know how to circumvent this little issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated. JTS ... and bits of sick

Layout of "Open File" window
by Michael Devogelaere 26 Aug '05

26 Aug '05

Hi, Is it possible to change the lay-out of the "Open File" Window on a computer running Windows 2000/XP ? With inkscape 0.39 that window is the standard "Open File" window used in other applications (Desktop, My Computer, My network places etc). With recent versions, the layout changed to a custom window (Personal, Desktop, Drive-letters) which loads much slower when selecting a directory containing 2000 SVG's (probably related to the preview-window). That window also doesn't show the network places: they need to me mapped to a drive letter before they appear in the list. Can the lay-out of that window be changed (some gtk-setting ?) or is that impossible ? Any help would be appreciated ! Kind regards, Michael Devogelaere.

New Tutorial: Making Icons with Inkscape
by Ben Powers 26 Aug '05

26 Aug '05

"Howdy-Ho, Vector-eenos," When I First started using Inkscape a few months ago, I searched for a tutorial that would help me understand how to accomplish something with Inkscape, a practical tutorial. Maybe I didn't search hard enough, but I found very few of them at the beginner level. When I start to learn something new, I like to have a goal in mind, so I have something to work towards. Well as luck (or God ;) would have it, an opportunity surfaced for me, I was invited to contribute an icon to the pool of candidates for the Ardour free DAW (http://ardour.org) "This is my chance to write a tutorial at the same time, so others could benefit from my learning experience", was the thought. So I snapped some screenshots, fired up vim, and lo and behold, here I am writing this letter. My tutorial is illustrated and available at : http://bennyp.no-ip.org/new/inktut.php Feel free to share it and change it under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial Share-Alike license 2.0 (Canada) If you wish to link to it, that's no problem either, although it's preferable for me that you mirror it instead. Enjoy!!

Website re-design contest on deviantART!
by Joshua A. Andler 25 Aug '05

25 Aug '05

Hey all! The inkscape deviantART community is holding a contest for a makeover to the Inkscape website (http://www.inkscape.org). All of the details (which I will post below as well) can can be found at: http://inkscapers.deviantart.com/journal/6322909/ ---begin dA announcement--- Hey there fellow Inkscapers! Many of us have seen Inkscape evolve from back in the days of Sodi Podi into the powerful program that we currently know it as. Unfortunately the website has not quite followed along at the same pace. ;) Which brings us to the next official inkscapers contest, a makeover for the website! Basics: *The goal is to show off what inkscape can do when put to use in the area of Web Design. *You will need to make a new Header, Footer, and CSS to replace the existing ones. *Upload a preview image & 7z/zip/tar file of your submission to your gallery or scraps on deviantART and post a link below. Rules: *All submissions must be standards compliant (XHTML 1.0 Transitional & CSS) and render the same across all browsers (within reason of course). *Any images that you create for it need to be done 100% in Inkscape. We will require any original SVG files to use in case something needs to be tweaked down the road, and also to allow us to potentially serve up SVGs for the browsers that support it. *It must be a very clean and professional design. *It must include the Inkscape logo in the site header. *Any submissions using copyrighted materials (unless appropriately licensed for our use) or offensive/inappropriate content will automatically be disqualified. *Have fun! Deadline: *September 15, 2005 Prize: *Having your design be our new look and feel for the website... and of course credit for your work. Judging: *Preliminary judging will be done by the Inkscape community on deviantART, when we have an official “Top 3”, the judging will then be turned over to the inkscape developers for final judging. Please note that when it is turned over to the developers for voting, once they have chosen the winner, they may have requests for modifications. Relevant links: *Inkscape Website – http://www.inkscape.org/ (where you can go and grab the current source) *Inkscape downloads page – http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93438 Submissions: *Please upload a preview image & 7z/zip/tar package of your submission to your gallery or scraps on deviantART and post a link below. Good luck to all who enter! ---end dA announcement--- -Josh (aka ScislaC on dA) PS: For those unaware of what deviantART (dA) is, dA is the largest community art site on the net.

CMYK-colour
by Tobias Hilbricht 25 Aug '05

25 Aug '05

Dear readers of this list, I try to create a CMYK-colour with Inkscape 0.42 on a Debian Sarge System. However, if I use the CMYK-tab in the filling dialog, I can not enter colours like 5 % C, 50 % M, 75 % and 5 % K, the number always change upon entering the fourth value such that one value is 0 %. Of course I do not get the colour I want. It seems that you can only CMYK colours were one out of the four percentages is zero. Is the CMYK-colour tab working for other users as it should, or is this a bug encountered by others, too? Yours sincerely Tobias Hilbricht

Announcing Inkscape Testers community
by Bryce Harrington 25 Aug '05

25 Aug '05

Hi all, As discussed a few weeks ago, we'd like to form a new community focused on testing of Inkscape. If you are interested in helping Inkscape in ways other than coding, this may be the place for you. Thanks to rejon's fix to wiki, we now have a place to collect information related to testing of Inkscape: http://wiki.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?TestingInkscape An inkscape-tester mailing list is also available for you: http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/inkscape-tester There are many ways to test inkscape. Already, many people have contributed greatly to inkscape by simply reporting issues they discover during ordinary use. The Inkscape Tester community will seek to push beyond this by doing more aggressive, focused testing. Our community's goals will include the following long term goals: * Show that Inkscape is fully SVG compliant with all SVG specifications. * Give developers confidence that if bugs are introduced to the codebase, they will be identified and reported to them swiftly. * Ensure Inkscape's files can be loaded into all other compliant SVG software, that Inkscape runs equally well on all platforms, and that Inkscape can be used easily with a range of other open source desktop applications. * Prove that Inkscape's usability is best in class. * Track Inkscape's performance and help motivate its improvement to become the fastest, lightest weight, and most efficient drawing application available. These are ambitious goals, but through testing we can help pave the way for them to be achieved. If these sound like goals you feel like helping to achieve, please join in building a new Inkscape Tester community. http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/inkscape-tester Bryce
