example Inkscape works
by Artemio 09 May '04

09 May '04

Hello there! Once again I must admit how happy I am to use Inkscape - it has become no. 1 application that I use - see the attachment if you need proof ;-) Here is the list of example sites created by me, that use graphics by Inkscape. http://artemio.net My home site. The interface has actually been drawn in sodipodi (as I didn't know about Inkscape when I was creating thisone), but the rest (the icons on the main page etc.) is all by Inkscape. http://artemiolabs.com My audio laboratory site. 100% Inkscape. http://lilija.com.ua (in Russian) The site of a florictic shop where my sister works. 100% Inkscape. Note: all images were cut and JPEG'd with the GIMP (you guessed). Also, you guys mentioned that we, the users, can send you the screenshots of how we use Inkscape? I think it would be nice if, for example, you create a page on your site with a screnshot showing Inkscape at work and the web site that uses these graphics. If you need such a thing - just tell me. Thanks again for the best graphic editor ever and happy development!

Hi from new Inkscaper`
by Urke MMI 08 May '04

08 May '04

Hello lists I yesterday discover Sodipodi fork, because Sodipodi not satisfy my necessaries. So, for the first time, developers, this is great and best vector editing tool for Linux. I hope this is just beginning, and that Linux will get sometghing like CorelDRAW and Adobe Illustrator. Great job, again. I today submit couple wishes to feature list. Just for the records. And, now I wish to ask, how I can get archive of inkscape-user list archive in mbox format? Can someone send it to me, or I can download it somewhere on net? TIA P.S. Again, Inkscape is great job! -- URKE MMI :: www.urosevic.net :: ICQ UIN 104794867 Registered Linux User #280650 [counter.li.org] :: SLACKWARE LINUX Sada ne slušam ništa zato što radim nešto pametno ;-P

Re: [Inkscape-user] PNG Export Format
by Brent B 08 May '04

08 May '04

Thanks, Bryce. I have been using GIMP to attempt to export (convert) my image to a 256-color format. GIMP calls this "indexing" the image. It gives fairly good results, but the image edges are somewhat jagged (aliased) compared to the original, pre-export image. So far, GIMP has given the best results with its color indexing schemes and algorithms. Thanks for your help. I love InkScape and hope that the developers can incorporate an 8-bit PNG feature in future releases.

PNG Export Format
by Brent B 07 May '04

07 May '04

Hello. Does InkScape support exporting to a PNG 8-bit file format (e.g. 256 colors)? If not, how can I save my SVG graphic to an 8-bit PNG file? I need this, since Internet Explorer cannot handle the alpha channel (transparency). I have already tried the utility pngquant, with poor results. I would appreciate any help from anyone.

Bryce, This may be a foolish question...but here goes: If you want to move the 2 objects that are snapped together couldn't you just use Inkscapes "Group Objects" tool. I haven't tried it, but is the "glued state" of grouped objects saved and reloaded? I was just concerned with object snapping so I could precisely attach graphic objects to other graphic objects. I didn't think about maintaining the link. Thanks for your thoughts. (I'll have to see if I can talk my wife into some time for that C programming stuff. I don't know though, she's already jealous about the time I spend with Lady J. :]) -----Original Message----- From: Bryce Harrington [mailto:bryce@...69...] Sent: Thursday, May 06, 2004 12:34 PM To: inkscape-user(a)lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [Inkscape-user] Snapping to the Grid On Thu, 6 May 2004, Landon Blake wrote: > Let me check out some C code and see what I think.

Would anything else really need to be defined? I had imagined it working very similar to snapping nodes to the grid. Well, in object-to-object linking, the linkage needs to be permanent and stored with the document. I guess this is a step beyond just snapping, in that once the two objects are linked, moving one object needs to cause the other one to move. For example, if you link a line to a box, and then move the box, the connected endpoint of the line needs to move. This implies that some sort of information would need to be stored in the document, so if you save the file and reload it, the 'connectivity' information is still there. > Example: Line > > <SnapNode> > <Type>Midpoint</Type> > <YCoordinate>24.56324</YCoordinate> > <XCoordinate>10.32564</XCoordinate> > </SnapNode> > This is just a rough idea of how it might look in XML.

I did a quick google and found this bit on SVG and connection points: http://www.infoloom.com/gcaconfs/WEB/granada99/her.HTM Scroll down to 'Automatic Connections'. It shows an example of connecting two shapes. I'm not sure if the syntax they're using is valid SVG or if it's particular to the application (drawml), though.

RE: [Inkscape-user] Snapping to the Grid

Bryce, Let me check out some C code and see what I think. I definitley want to get involved in Inkscape is ever ported to Java. I'm curious what issues there would be with the relationship between SVG and snapping node-to-node in Inkscape. If two objects were snapped together at their nodes, wouldn't they just be stored in SVG with the same coordinate for the common node? Would anything else really need to be defined? I had imagined it working very similar to snapping nodes to the grid. Most CAD programs allow you to snap to endpoints, midpoints, intersection points, and even to the center of circular or eliptical objects and to points perpendicular to a line. I'm no expert on SVG, but if Inkscape needed to store information about the snap points of an object it might look like this in XML code: Example: Line <SnapNode> <Type>Midpoint</Type> <YCoordinate>24.56324</YCoordinate> <XCoordinate>10.32564</XCoordinate> </SnapNode> This is just a rough idea of how it might look in XML. I imagine the SnapNode Element as a child element of the shape or path element. The Type Element might enable users in Inkscape to shut the different types of snaps on and off. (For example, if the user only wanted to snap to endpoints.) In the above scenario a simple one segment path or line would have 3 SnapNode Elements: 2 endpoints and 1 midpoint. -----Original Message----- From: Bryce Harrington [mailto:bryce@...69...] Sent: Thursday, May 06, 2004 11:23 AM To: inkscape-user(a)lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [Inkscape-user] Snapping to the Grid Node-to-node snapping is in the roadmap for the 0.46 release. That's quite a ways off in the future, though (estimate a bit over a year), but if you or someone else with an interest in this wants to start working on it, that'd help get it in sooner. (We've had several features that got implemented ahead of schedule due to new developers getting involved, and so we definitely encourage it.) Note that while work is on-going to C++-ify the codebase, the vast bulk is still written in a fairly general C style. If you've done Java and understand C pointers, you'd probably be able to pick up the codebase without much more difficulty than anyone else has had. The main challenges tend to be that there isn't very much code documentation and that there's so much code it can be hard to find where to start working. But anyway, yeah, object-to-object snapping and snap points are *definitely* features that a lot of us want in there, especially now that we've got markers to a point of usability. I don't know if anyone's defined *how* they should work or planned out how to implement them; it isn't part of the SVG spec so to a degree we're a bit on our own with this.

Open svg in new window after starting

Hello, After starting inkspace, when I open a recent draw, it opens a new window and the first window remains empty. It is a bit uncomfortable (but, it is possible to exist a good reason for it). When I open an svg from a file manager it doesnot happens. But I am just an old style kid, starting the programs first. :) Regards and thanks for inkspace: Aewyn

Hello, (I know, it is enough from me for today, but) 1., open keys.svg, select all, move all by hand (or with transf. dialog) and buttons fly away from texts. 2., just a little improvement (perhaps just for me): after selecting zoom tool, it would be very comfortable to unzoom with right mouse button. (I know there is a shift key for it, but even so...) Bye, Aewyn

removal of private-fonts and libarikkei
by MenTaLguY 06 May '04

Just a heads-up that I've removed the "private-fonts" private font installation facility. Anyone who had needed it in the past it will probably find their system's native font management facilities easier and more flexible at this point. Fontconfig has brought unix font management a long, long way. Also of note, libarikkei has been removed from the tree as it is no longer used. -mental

A while back (around version 0.31), I defected from Sodipodi to Inkscape[0]. I am just now getting around to moving my cheap-ass gallery off Lauris' site and joining this list. My images are here: http://www.sodipodi.com/index.php3?section=gallery/twb and about a third of these: http://www.sodipodi.com/index.php3?section=gallery/logos I notice that the horrible SVG of tux is still floating around in CVS instead of my nice tri-color one: http://www.sodipodi.com/gallery/twb/logo_tux.svg probably because I lost the original and only re-posted it a short time ago. What is the recommended way of posting (svg) images to a gallery on the wiki? Especially since I don't have any unreal estate[1].

vector aesthetics
by Jon Phillips 03 May '04

03 May '04

Hello all, I've been working on a writing for a little while about what I'm calling "vector aesthetics," which is a feature-based look at vector graphics and design styles that are influenced by vector graphics. I'm trying to get some eyes on the writing and some edits/fixes from these lovely knowledgeable communities. http://cvsbook.ucsd.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?VectorAesthetics I'm trying to develop a large picture view of SVG, Flash, why SVG is important and how the art/aesthetics of SVG relates and is defined. The final text will be included in a book I'm trying to get published (in the future). Read more here: http://cvsbook.ucsd.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl if interested. There are various sections in the writing which are important for our communities to understand/look-at and is one of the reasons why I have been working on these texts, as I think we need to zoom out and look at the big picture of what we are working on, SVG, INKSCAPE, Clipart, and OSS, and see where it is at in the aesthetic and technical landscapes.
