Thanks Ivan, this allow a lot of posibilities, because the color that change is only the fill, the stroke retains original color, so you can do things like this: http://i.imgur.com/wn7n95Z.png?1 Regards, Jabier.

Converting the movement and change of an object into a smooth animation
by Philip Rhoades 25 Oct '15

25 Oct '15

People, I have put a note on the developer list for a more difficult problem but I wonder if there is a solution to a simpler bit of the puzzle: Say I have a first drawing with a short, vertical, straight line and I drag it into a long, horizontal, straight line and save it is a second drawing ie it would be nice if I can have an initial object and a moved / changed object and a plugin or an external program that will be able to smoothly animate the change from the first drawing to the second - is that possible? I had a look at some of the animation plugins but it is not clear to me that they will do what I want. Thanks, Phil. -- Philip Rhoades PO Box 896 Cowra NSW 2794 Australia E-mail: phil@...2067...

Font for vertical writing

Vertical writing of Japanese to switch some of the fonts in vertical writing for font. However , there is no ability to switch fonts to inkscape. I made a font for vertical writing. Font is intended as an interim for vertical writing. it is no longer necessary if the correspondence to the vertical writing of Japanese inkscape. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bw6vYjcFltUVYW0wXzExRDVQZXM https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bw6vYjcFltUVcmlTTlh1ZmNBNUE

when importing pdf/eps there are compression artefacts in bitmaps embedded in the pdf/eps
by Enno R. Oldewurtel 14 Oct '15

14 Oct '15

Dear all, maybe this is a feature request, bug, or simply a question, so I put it onto this mailing list: When I import an eps that contains a bitmap (e.g. an eps generated from a MATLAB figure, that also has an image displayed), the bitmap in the imported form does not show the original pixels anymore but suffers from compression artefacts. These artefacts are not very visible for large image with small pixels relative to the total image size. However, I often need to display zoomed regions of microscopy image, where those compressions are having quite a detrimental effect on the import. As an example I created a MATLAB figure with 10x10 random pixels. I attach the svg file where I imported the MATLAB figure after saving it as a PNG within MATLAB and another import of the eps file that I saved with MATLAB. The artefacts are clearly visible. ;) Most times the compression is probably great to reduce overall file size, but in occasions like the ones described above it would be great to have a different or no compression of the bitmaps during import. Many thanks, Enno

While copying lines the end marks (arrows and others) are not copied
by Bernhard Kleine 08 Oct '15

08 Oct '15

I have some strange experience while copying: I copied all the elements in a figure and lost the full node marks(?, Knotenmarkierung). This is hopefully not an intended behaviour. I never encountered it. Select over all layers copy insert and the arrows etc were gone. I can put them back but I find it strange and maybe a bug. The yellow background is one layer, the arrows are the next and text is the other. regards Bernhard

node tool control bar icons missing (not urgent)
by Brynn 07 Oct '15

07 Oct '15

Hi Friends, I had an odd experience earlier today. I opened Inkscape from my Windows 7 Start menu, like I usually do. Many of the Node tool control bar icons are missing, and showing that same red X icon, that the Undo and Redo buttons have been showing for 0.91 (instead of the real icons). I opened a new doc from Inkscape, and I opened another from the Start menu again, and those icons appear normally, as expected. I made a screenshot to show (attached). I don't think it's a permanent problem, but I'm curious what happened. I only have a vague understanding for how Inkscape handles icons. I have the idea that Inkscape calls for them from another folder. So does this mean there was some kind of problem when Inkscape called for them, and couldn't get them, for some reason? Not an urgent problem. I'm just curious :-) Thanks, brynn

Trouble compiling Inkscape on Ubuntu 14.04
by Eelke Spaak 06 Oct '15

06 Oct '15

Hello all, Because I had been issues with extremely sluggish text editing in complex SVG files (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1219794?comments=all) I thought I'd get the source code and apply the (very simple) patch provided in that bug thread and compile it myself. I was able to get a working copy of the trunk, and I read the INSTALL file. However, the "./configure" file was not present (even though INSTALL seemed to assume it should be there). I managed to generate the configure-script by running "./autogen.sh" (after installing the required dependencies). When I try to run ./configure, however, it does some stuff, and then gives me an error: ./configure: line 5995: syntax error near unexpected token `2.2' ./configure: line 5995: `LT_PREREQ(2.2)' Checking a bit further back, it actually seems that although the autogen.sh ended with "Done! Please run './configure' now.", there is an error there as well. I am attaching the full output of both autogen.sh and the subsequent call to configure to this email. Hopefully someone can help me to compile Inkscape, so I could apply the patch for mega-slow text editing and get back to designing my poster :) Thank you, best, Eelke Spaak

Inkscape extension: inkscape-placeholders
by Xaviju Julián 05 Oct '15

05 Oct '15

Hi! I just wanted to share with you an extension I developed that might be useful for some of you, specially for inkscape web designers. Its a extension that has two functionalities: - Create image placeholders in any size and width with random images from unsplash <https://unsplash.it/> - Create random user avatars from uifaces <http://uifaces.com/>. Both plugins and documentation on how to install them are available via github: https://github.com/Xaviju/inkscape-placeholder I have also written a blog post on how to create inkscape extensions for non developers: https://medium.com/@xaviju/inkscape-extensions-by-non-developers-for-non-de… with what I have learned developing this extensions. Since I am not a python developer myseff it can contain some errors so I will be glad to receive feedback and corrections on how to improve it or PRs to fix any code bugs. Of course, any suggestions or ideas are welcome as well. Regards!

Hi all!

Hi, I'd like to get more eyes on this, maybe stir up support.
by Jerry Segers 27 Sep '15

27 Sep '15

Hi, I had an idea for a feature in inkscape, and I submitted a wishlist bug on 5-17-2014 and noone seems interested. It is a suggestion for a LPE for a spirograph pattern generator. I did some research and found the necessary math info to make the shapes, and the algorithm needed to make the result from the math usable in inkscape. I was thinking it would be great for certificates, and suchlike. Plus I think it would just be great fun to play with. Is anyone else interested? Maybe someone who knows calculus and c++? Anyway, here’s the link if you’re interested. https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1320524

Fill "only on one layer"

People, I am trying to create a series of sketches to show changes to roof tressles (I want to create a wide manhole - see start of first sketch attached) but I have run into problems with adding a fill colour (as shading for the beams). It seems like it would be quicker and easier for me if I could get the fill action to fill on ONE layer instead of taking all of the lines for all the of layers into account - but this doesn't appear to work? - is it possible somehow?
