Referencing another .svg file.
by william.crocker＠...2677... 17 Nov '09

17 Nov '09

Hello: I am using Inkscape to create button icons. Many of them are simple compositions of other images. For example, to make a 'new-window' icon I would like to reference the .svg file for a plus sign over a reference to the .svg file of a window. Currently I create a new .svg file and copy-in the required elements. But, this makes it tedious to change an element (the plus-sign, for example) because I have to visit all of the files into which I copied it. So, is it possible to place a live reference to one .svg file from another. I am stuck on RedHat 4 using Inkscape 0.44 (Pity me.) Bill

Windows 7 users
by John Culleton 14 Nov '09

14 Nov '09

Just for fun I created an Inkscape file with an aqua square on it and saved it as svg. Then I addressed the file name in my Firefox browser. It showed it OK. I have read that reading svg files was promised in IE 9 for Windows users. Any of you who have Windows 7 and/or IE 9 can you verify that this is so? I want to create some web entities in svg but not if I am shut off from all or almost all IE users. -- John Culleton "Create Book Covers with Scribus" http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

Re: [Inkscape-user] Wacom drawing tablet.
by Guillermo Espertino 13 Nov '09

Does anyone know if the new bamboo pen / pen and touch tablets are supported in linux? I just bought a bamboo (the previous model) and works great out of the box in Ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10, but I couldn't find information about support of the new models. The old bamboo and bamboo fun work, but what about the new ones? Thanks in advance Gez.

Barcode for EAN 5
by John Culleton 06 Nov '09

06 Nov '09

Typically on a book one has a barcode for the ISBN (EAN-13) and optionally a barcode for the price (EAN-5). Inkscape 47 rel 3 provides the first but not the second. Could this be added? -- John Culleton "Create Book Covers with Scribus" http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

Wacom drawing tablet.
by John Culleton 03 Nov '09

Does anyone on list have a Wacom or similar drawing tablet? Do you find it useful in conjunction with Inkscape work? Is the Wacom Bamboo with a 4 x 5 inch pad useful or does one need the larger and more expensive models? -- John Culleton "Create Book Covers with Scribus" http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

hey I got a bamboo one just to get me started and quite honestly don't use it when it comes to vector drawing. the mouse is a much better tool for the kind of neurotic precision i crave. apart from that it's much better than a mouse either for pixel work or even for essential day-to-day computer use. It takes some getting used to though. double click was frustrating for the first week.

I love using my wacom tablets with Inkscape. I used it with the calligraphy tool to create a background for my twitter page, and some nuances for my avatar. It would have been nearly impossible to get the same kinds of marks with just a mouse in my opinion. http://www.twitter.com/lemasney -- John LeMasney LeMasney Consulting and Design lemasney@...155...

speedwanted
by Hago Ziegler 23 Oct '09

23 Oct '09

Hi, I'm using inkscape on 2 PCs with dual core processors. Sometimes, when the work is getting huge and complex, the CPU has to work a lot. Unfortunately inkscape uses always only one of the 2 'cores', so the whole CPU works only with 52-55 %. Things are becoming very slow this way. Is there a possibility to change this? Regards, Hago

Barcode problem solved.
by John Culleton 17 Oct '09

17 Oct '09

On an earlier version of IS 47 on Xubuntu the numbers at the bottom of an ISBN barcode were scrambled. On my current Slackware 13 install of IS 47 pre 4 this problem is solved. It would help if the numbers were displayed above the barcode in OCRB typeface but I can handle that as a separate step. -- John Culleton "Create Book Covers with Scribus" http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

lxml and stuff.
by John Culleton 17 Oct '09

17 Oct '09

Compiled pre4 successfully . Some things like perfect bound cover and bar code don't work. Messages reference lxml in each case. So I iinstalled lxml. Still no joy. I started a recompile. I note on ./configure that I get the message "Internal Python skipped" Is this the root of the problem? I do have Python on my system.

Pixel Perfect Inkscape
by Alan Gutierrez 13 Oct '09

13 Oct '09

I'm using Inkscape 4.7 Pre 3 on OS X Leopard. I'm designing for the web, so for the most part, I'd like to have integer X and Y values for my shapes. Editing each point every time I drop a shape is frustrating. I've found that I can set the grid to 1px with major lines at 5px and Inkscape will tend to to the right thing when drawing rectangles or using the pen tool, but not always. There are still times when I have to edit X and Y by entering it into the spinner. Also, if I group objects and clone them. Not all of the objects retain an integer X/Y. They are off by a little bit. Are there any other ways to tell Inkscape to round to the nearest pixel? Alan Gutierrez

Resolution

I am new to Inkscape and trying it out as a way of labeling images for publication. First, is there a way to search the archives for answers? Second, is there a way to get Inkscape to display the resolution of an image in dpi or ppi? Also, where do you adjust the ruler settings?

Price Code Barcode generator.
by John Culleton 08 Oct '09

08 Oct '09

The current inkscape-devel (Ubuntu) has a barcode facility. But it doesn't provide for the 5 digit price code often used on books next to the ISBN EAN code. Scribus does provide it as does the bookland.py online or local barcode generator. This should be easy to fix. Also, on the latest inkscape-devel the numbers at the bottom of the EAN-13 barcode are jumbled. This could be a font problem. -- John Culleton "Create Book Covers with Scribus" http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

Round single corner in a square
by Mr.SpOOn 07 Oct '09

07 Oct '09

Hi, I want to round a single corner of a square, but I can't obtain what I want. Inside the square there is a circle and I'd like to have the corner with the same roundness of the circle. What I did till now is: 1) converting the square to a path 2) creating two new nodes in the middle of each side of the corner 3) move handles of the corner to round it This doesn't work very well, so I tried to duplicate the circle and cut the corner dividing paths. Maybe this is a better solution but I can't exactly align the cutting circle with the first one (I have to align them diagonally). Is there an easier way to do this? Or a tutorial or something about rounding single corners? Thank you, Carlo

Inkscape 0.47 on the horizon (Call for help)
by Joshua A. Andler 07 Oct '09

07 Oct '09

Hey All, I forgot to post to the user and translator lists because I was too excited. :) I think we closed out the last of the blocker bugs today! So, will people please help ensure that the release notes are up to date? I'm headed there in just a minute to document my latest changes. http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_notes/0.47 Regarding PR, I am going to continue with what was started here: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/AnnouncePlanning047 If you are an inkscape user who wants to contribute, even if you can't program, this is the perfect way to give back to the community. Please help us flesh this out and refine it. Packagers, please package up Pre3 if you have not already done so as a practice run... and honestly, I think it would be safe to plan a release for next week (between Monday the 5th and Friday the 9th), provided packages are available and no new issues arise. Any objections to this proposed plan? Any thoughts on if releasing on a specific day of the week will get more notice? Oh, and translators... please get any updates submitted asap. Thanks! Cheers, Josh
