DBus api signals
by cabieces julien 29 Apr '13

29 Apr '13

Hi, I have to produce a "plugin" for Inkscape. Python exception functionnalities are not enough for what I want to do so I came to try the DBus Api. With this one, I can communicate from my plugin to Inkscape but not in the other way. The only implemented signal is "ObjectMoved" but I need to know when Inkscape modifies a node, adds an attribute or things like that. I look after the dbus extension code and it seems that the signals that I want are described in proposed-interface.xml and are not yet implemented. Is there any way to achieve what I want to do? Is there further development forecast for dbus extension? Is this possible to propose eventually patch? Thanks for the reply Julien

Trying to create a rubber stamp effect
by Javier Garcia 23 Apr '13

Hi, I have found this tuto about creating a rubber stamp effect: http://howto.nicubunu.ro/rubber_stamp_inkscape/ It says I should do an intersection between the image and the calligraphic drawing, but for me it doesn't work.., I mean, Inkscape doesn't do any intersection..Of course I select both objects before trying the intersection. I attach a file. 0.48 Javi

Importing graphs from Excel
by Jurgen Gaeremyn 19 Apr '13

19 Apr '13

Hello list, for an article I need to edit a graph made in Excel (2007). This is my current workflow: 1. In Excel: Print to PDF (using Cute PDF) 2. Open the PDF file in Inkscape The big caveat is: text items don't behave well at all. They are really naughty :p -> when changing fonts or size, the spacing doesn't adapt (so text gets squashed when a bigger font is chosen) -> certain text elements that don't belong together, all of the sudden become one item (f.e. the scale items and the R² text, but the ² is a different text block) Currently, the only solution I see, is retyping all the text manually. Obviously, this is quite a waste of time. I hope some of you know a better solution for this... Thanks, Jurgen.
