support for gcode extensions
by Brynn 25 Mar '16

25 Mar '16

Hi Friends, I provide support for Inkscape daily, in bb style forums or occassionally in LP Answers. A couple of things are missing across the community. 1 - tutorials for using gcode tools, and 2 - support for questions and problems with those extensions. I know that the extensions all reference a single, 30-page topic in a Russian forum, as a place to get support. But we still are getting questions posted in other forums, that we just can't answer. Is there any other place where people can find support? Thanks, brynn

Guillotine, but to svg?
by Tom Lechner 23 Mar '16

23 Mar '16

Is there an easy way to chop up an svg, like with the guillotine extension, but export to svg files, not png? If a path object spans multiple sections, only the sub-paths within the section should be included in the output. -Tom tomlechner.com laidout.org

Questions about "Draw From Triangle..." Extension
by Arlo Barnes 23 Mar '16

23 Mar '16

As the subject says, my questions are about the utility accessed from the menus: Extension > Render > Draw From Triangle... and specifically about whether one of the several 'circle' options is what I want, which is what I am thinking of, which is the following: Nodes in a path are ordered, right? So an SVG renderer knows how to connect them up. Therefore, the individual lines or Bézier curves (not B-*splines*, as a spline is multiple curves connected together at their ends, and having the same slopes [for Spiro, which is just a subset of B-splines, curvature also] at the points of those connections as their neighbors; polylines are not splines since they are meant not to have the same slope as their neighbors [or else two such connected lines could be replaced with a single line]) can also be ordered: the curve between nodes 1 and 2 is curve 1, n2 & n3 = c2, and so on. If the path is closed, node *last*'s connection to node 1 is the last curve. So far so good (if all I have said above is technically correct). I have happily drawn circumcircles and incircles around triangles before in Inkscape. Geometrically speaking, they do not have to be triangles in the literal sense, since: - they can be closed or open - a quick test just now shows that using nonlinear sides for a three-sided, three-node closed shape produces a circumcircle (for instance, selected just for the test), although it neither encompasses the path nor contains the points where the nodes are at. I tried, but three lone nodes (or any number of nodes not connected to any other) cannot be created in Inkscape, not sure about SVG itself. Anyway, now I realised I wanted something else. Given three points, in either a closed or open triangle, I want a circle for which the two sides connected to the 'middle' node (they are ordered, remember) are both tangent to said circle: tangent at the first and last nodes, to be specific. There are infinitely many circles tangent to two true (that is, infinite) lines, see something like http://i.stack.imgur.com/2NFBD.png <http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/146942/inscribing-multiple-incircles…> but without the intervening lines if you want proof :P but as far as I can tell, only one of those infinitely many circles fits the description I just typed, because either one of the sides connected to the middle node establishes a *distance* from said node, which selects a unique circle. Is there a mathematical name for this circle in relation to the triangle that generates it that I simply have not learned yet? If so, is it already in 'Draw From Triangle'? If not, could it be? Another feature request in respect to that module could be informative error messages. Often it just fails silently, either producing no objects or something different from the description, especially when multiple desired shapes are requested. In any case, if that ramble if readable, I would love some thoughts. -Arlo James Barnes

Hi Todor. The work on mass tool in eraser is previously done, because the eraser tool get code from caligraphic tool, so I only show mass widget. Anybody is thinking in another widget to show to eraser tool from caligraphic tool? About your concrete question: Is not as easy implement it, maybe the best option to it is add a option to caligraphic tool to only do one direction line instead the current shape, for example with width = 0. But is only a idea, not sure about, because you loose another pencil tool features :( Cheers, Jabier > --------- Mensaje reenviado -------- > De: Todor Imreorov <blurymind@...155...> > Para: jabier.arraiza@...2982... > Cc: inkscape-devel <inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net>, inkscape- > user <inkscape-user(a)lists.sourceforge.net> > Asunto: Re: [Inkscape-devel] New video three features. > Fecha: Mon, 7 Mar 2016 13:45:44 +0000 > > > Hi Jabier, > > I noticed that there is now a "Mass" value in the eraser tool. > > Would > > it be > > possible to also add it to the PENCIL tool?

Making "Fill and Stroke" work [Was: Object outline]

Font bug?

I have had a problem when working with a text box. I select some text in it in order to change the font. On clicking on the font selector, an alert box appears with the title "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library". The notice is "Assertion failed". "program C:\Program Files\Inkscape\inkscape.exe file cairo-font-face.c Line 144 Expression: CAIRO_REFERENCE_COUNT_HAS_REFERENCE (&font_face->ref_count)" The program then shuts down. I am using Inkscape 0.91 r13725 - the binary installation on Windows 7. Regards John Sampson

I think there is no need for a framework for responsive design. Just a css with imports, and use the "mobile first" way. @import url('typography.css?v=0.01'); /* Extra Small Devices, Phones */ @import url('s300.css?v=0.01') (min-width: 300px); /* Custom, iPhone Retina */ @import url('s480.css?v=0.01') (min-width: 480px); /* Small Devices, Tablets */ @import url('s768.css?v=0.01') (min-width: 768px); /* Medium Devices, Desktops */ @import url('s992.css?v=0.01') (min-width: 992px); /* Large Devices, Wide Screens */ @import url('s1281.css?v=0.01') (min-width: 1281px); /* Shared*/ @import url('inkscape.css?v=0.01'); To write, or better to no write too much code we can use the "rem" unit for font size -and others- and adjust this in each s300.css, s480.css... with a line like this: html { font-size: 62.5% !important; //s300.css } changing the proportion in each css file. Cheers, Jabier.

New video three features.
by Jabiertxo Arraiza Cenoz 05 Mar '16

05 Mar '16

Hi, here are my last video. Is a kind of showcase of three features: * Eraser tool with no width now in trunk. * Randomize color extension now with a limit slider, also in trunk. * Optional auto fill Delaunay triangles with color and thin stroke in the same color. The code of this are in this bug:https://bugs.launchpad .net/inkscape/+bug/1553497 Anyway, there is better/faster ways to make Delaunay based in a image. So this is just a example. http://jabiertxof.marker.es/2016/03/no-width-eraser-mode-limit-random.h tml Cheers, Jabier.

Windows 10: Menu commands of Inkscape do not appear
by Andreas Borutta 01 Mar '16

01 Mar '16

Hello. I installed the latest version of Inkscape on Windows 10. Three effects I recognize: 1 Inkscape needs extremly long to start (about 15 seconds), much longer than every other application (about 1-2 seconds) on my PC with an SSD. 2 When I click any entry in the menu toolbar, an empty rectangle appears. Not any command is visible. 3 When I hover over any symbol in the vertical toolbar as well an empty rectangle appears. How can I solve the problem please? Thanks.

Dear users and developers, Inkscape has been invited to take part in the Free Software design day known as SpinachCon which happens the day before LibrePlanet here in Boston: https://libreplanet.org/2016/ The SpinachCon event is about working with users on finding odd, weird and slightly ugly things within inkscape that we can fix or make designs about. If you are in the area and wish to take part it's March 18th 2016, from 12:00-5:00pm, in Boston at Beaucoop's offices (near South Station on the Red Line) I'll report in a new article any findings or fixes after the event. Best Regards, Martin Owens

Create a SVG chart from Excel/Libreoffice Calc data sheet?
by Andreas Borutta 27 Feb '16

27 Feb '16

Hello. I work for a free and non commercial bicycle magazin and we often publish scientific articles. They contain data sheets and charts. Until know we publish the charts as a PNG. The quality is low and as every bitmap graphic it doesn't scale well. Is there a tool which allows to create a chart from an Excel (or Libreoffice Calc) data sheet as an SVG? Of course the code of the SVG should be of high quality. Text should be text. Basic shapes (circles, rectangles, etc.) shouldn't be realised as a path etc. Thanks. Andreas

Re: [Inkscape-user] Website Design

Yesterday Mc- brought up a design for the inkscape website which got a few approval nods from various attending people: https://yadi.sk/i/CfqypzmvpPbay I contacted the designer at the time and just heard back. So what we have here is a psd of a single page that flows downwards. I expect it to assume a standard set of css frameworks such as bootstrap or similar. I also know that Hinerangi has some designs waiting in the wings for the website and that we've stalled on moving more improvements in. I'm interested in hearing wider feedback from the community since I've been under the impression that the website's design has been fairly serviceable. A replacement would be a fair amount of work and at the moment I'm only committed to making sure the technical integration of any proposed design goes ahead without any barriers. What do you think we should do? Best Regards, Martin Owens

Hi Hinerangi, Thanks so much for posting a screenshot of your design, I like it very much. What I like about your design is: * The colour theme, I've grown to like the white an black clean lines * The non-scrolling, single page, makes it easier to do information pages using the same * The news and other information is closer to the top. What I like about eshill's design is: * The four horizontal images for each of the sections * The cleaner download button, separate and large for the first page. * The icons for the information sections (news, users etc) But getting a responsive design would be really nice IMO. One of the best advances for the site.
