Hi, Just popup inkscape to do a little drawing and something strange is happening. I can select tools, colors any menu and option but I can't do anything to the canvas. If i select the pen tool I can make a stroke. or a square using the square tool. Nothing. I check that the layers is not locked and tried opening existing images and it's the same the image is dislayed everything looks fine but I can't do anything on the Canvas. Any idea? Inkscape 0.47 r22583, built Apr 4 2010 Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Thanks, Seb.

Fill Tool Oddness
by David Huerta 27 Mar '11

27 Mar '11

Hey all, I can't seem to use the fill tool in Inkscape (v0.48 on OS X). Trying to fill a rectangle object with a 0.010 mm line width (stroke color: blue) with no fill while sectioning off a chunk with a two-node straight line cutting through the upper half. I tried filling the area, but it only filled it and left a weird uneven margin on the end ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/25968780@...2823.../5552182877/). Clicking the white margin doesn't do anything. I also tried changing the line width to something thicker, making it the same color as the straight line, but same seems to have no effect. Checked for gaps, found none. I also tried changing the threshold, but that just made it not fill anything at all. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, -- david [.dh] huerta heatsynclabs.org

Dealing with templates in Inkscape
by unkown UN 23 Mar '11

23 Mar '11

Has anyone been successful with creating templates with inkscape in which you can automate the generation of PDFs? For example: I have: - Datasource [XML] that contains a list of data items - The Visual Representation (as an inkscape file) - A script that would combine the two and produce a pdf based on the datasource specifications I know I asked a similar question to this before, but I was wondering if anyone had success at automating this task. -Steven

transparent png
by Simeon Mitev 23 Mar '11

23 Mar '11

Hi all, I am trying to create one PNG image with a transparent gradient (from gray to transparent). All is fine but when I save as .png the part which should be transparent is actually white. I did check the document preferences. The color is white and alpha is set to 0.0. What I am doing wrong? Thank you @Simeon

Resources for Writing an python export script
by Nathan Hüsken 21 Mar '11

21 Mar '11

Hi, I want to write an exporter to another file format for inkscape. Basicly I want to take only polygons, rectangles and circles from the svg, perform some operation on them and save the result to my own xml format. Now, I managed to write the inx file. But for how to write the python script I just cannot find enough information. Can someone point me to information or an example giving the necessary information on how to do this? Thanks! Nathan

Writing an extension for a new object type
by Nathan Hüsken 19 Mar '11

19 Mar '11

Hi, I see that one can write so called "effect" extensions which are available through the effects menu. But is it also possible to write an extension that allows the creation of a new object type at a position where the user clicks? For example, an extension that allows me to click on a new button in the tools menu. When I then click somewhere in the image, a script is run which creates a predefined object at the clicked position. Thanks! Nathan

Difficulty opening a .ai file
by Andy Graybeal 18 Mar '11

18 Mar '11

Greetings, I'm trying to open a .ai file without luck. It says "Failed to load request file path-to-file-and-filename." Any ideas? I saw that some folks have been using ai2svg.py, I d/l'd it and I'm running it... it's been chugging away for about an hour with no .svg file in site, (it's still running). I have a fairly decent machine running it, Lenovo T410 w/ i5. Is there meta info in the .ai file that would be of use? The .ai file was probably made towards the beginning of the 2000's if that is helpful. I'm in Ubuntu 10.04, I'm using the native Inkscape version in U10.04, 0.47 Any help is appreciated. BTW I'm in love with the The Book of Inkscape, By Dmitry Kirsanov, I had to let a co-worker borrow it and I was sad to do so! We're both beginning to learn about Inkscape for work. I'm totally in love with this program. I got to sit down with my girl the other day and walk her through editing an SVG.. I think I got her hooked to. I guess I might be whining, but I don't want to bother with Illustrator, what a hassle. -Andy

scaling positions of a group of objects
by Albert Cardona 18 Mar '11

18 Mar '11

Dear all, Is there anyway to scale the position of a set of objects, as opposed to the position and the data of the object? Thanks for any hints. Albert -- http://albert.rierol.net -- http://albert.rierol.net
