I have to create a menu board that measures 70 cm x 50 cm and my printer can only print up to US Legal sized paper. Can Inkscape do this? Thanks, Keith

inkscape 48.4 install woes.
by john Culleton 18 Feb '13

18 Feb '13

In both Slackwaate 14 and Debian wheezy I am presented with a list of missing or outdated packages when compiling stable version Inkscape 0.48.4. Is there a precompiled version in e.g. tarball or RPM format that I can install? Or is there a single package of all the lib packages needed for 48.4? I grow tired of library chasing, especially on Debian where apt-get simply doesn't recognize the names of the missing libs. Here are the missing libs using Slackware 14.0: No package 'gdkmm-2.4' found No package 'glibmm-2.4' found No package 'giomm-2.4' found No package 'gtkmm-2.4' found No package 'sigc++-2.0' found No package 'gsl' found When I search out and download these I find that there are additional packages missing. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

Sewing Pattern extension
by Susan Spencer 18 Feb '13

Hi everyone, Here is a link to an Edwardian-era Shirt Waist draft which has been coded into an Inkscape extension. Please take a look at it and let me know if this seems usable. Code comments are welcome, too! sewing_patterns.py<https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BxsnjDIHW4yveE5MZzhUUDQyUms/edit?usp=sharing> shirt_waist_allington.inx<https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BxsnjDIHW4yvY0Fzc2lkN0NSSTg/edit?usp=sharing> shirt_waist_allington.py<https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BxsnjDIHW4yvSHNMelVxZThraTA/edit?usp=sharing> Copy these file to the Inkscape user extensions directory, and mark sewing_patterns.py as executable. The Tau Meta Tau Physica blog <http://www.taumeta.org/?page_id=247> covers how the pattern from this book was converted into code. xo, - Susan

DBus API
by Brian Lewis 15 Feb '13

15 Feb '13

I got code from bzr and built with --enable-dbus-api. In /usr/share/dbus-1/services, I added org.inkscape.service: [D-BUS Service] Name=org.inkscape Exec=/usr/bin/inkscape Code like import dbus bus = dbus.SessionBus() inkdoc1 = bus.get_object('org.inkscape', '/org/inkscape/desktop_0') causes inkscape to start via dbus, but the bus.get_object doesn't succeed. I get an error from DBus: dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NameHasNoOwner: Could not get owner of name 'org.inkscape': no such name What else do I need to do?

Using Inkscape on 2560 x 1400 pixel monitors
by Phil Shapiro 13 Feb '13

13 Feb '13

Hi Inkscape fans, I've been having fun exploring the use of Inkscape on a 27-inch LCD monitor -- with 2560 x 1440 pixels. Here are two explanatory screencasts I made. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bo_sz28XoKs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJgvhAk623A Here in the United States the price of 2560 x 1440 monitors is dropping substantially. Starting next month you can buy a 27-inch LCD monitor for $390 from monoprice.com http://tinyurl.com/btwp4bj I'm curious to hear if there are any Inkscape cartoonists here on this list. It might be fun to try creating a BluRay video (using OpenShot) with still graphics created in Inkscape. phil shapiro washington dc -- Phil Shapiro, pshapiro@...2324... http://www.his.com/pshapiro/briefbio.html http://www.twitter.com/philshapiro http://www.his.com/pshapiro/stories.menu.html "Wisdom begins with wonder." - Socrates "Learning happens thru gentleness."

Matplotlib svg import
by Martin Manns 01 Feb '13

01 Feb '13

Hi all, I am currently trying to paste svg data that has been generated with matplotlib (http://matplotlib.org/) via the clipboard into inkscape. Pasting via the clipboard would make it easier to include charts from the spreadsheet pyspread (http://manns.github.com/pyspread/) into Jessyink presentations. I have attached an example chart. When opened with inkscape, it displays perfectly. When imported, the chart line is missing. When I paste the file contents via the clipboard (copied from an editor) nothing happens. I would expect identical results. Are interfaces different for "file open", "import svg" and "clipboard paste" operations? Do I have to change something in the data so that inkscape accepts it as clipboard pasteable? Should I open a bug report? I am using inkscape 0.48.3.1 on Debian sid/squeeze (i386). Cheers, Martin

format, that does not clean up the code
by Hago Ziegler 30 Jan '13

30 Jan '13

Hi everybody, I'm using Inkscape also to make animations like: <path ... d=" (a path) "> <animate ......to=" (the new path) "> When I load such a file into inkscape -for example, to add a new path- and save it at the end as *.svg, all parts of the original code, that can't be seen in inkscape are deleted. Is there any possibility, to save it in a way, that everything remains as it is, only the new path is added? regards, Hago
