SVG path, convert to absolute?
by Paul Reilly 25 Feb '10

25 Feb '10

Hello, I need to convert SVG vector images with bezier paths from relative to absolute coordinates. So it uses big "C" instead of little "c" id="path3" d="M 47,200 C 47,200 27,140 47,120 I can do this using the GUI, but I'd like to do it via the command line. I'm using: inkscape -l drawing.sgv drawing.svg but there doesn't seem to be a command line option to specify relative or absolute paths coords? Any ideas how I might do this via the command line? Thanks Paul

Beginner question: How do I get rid of pie segment in ellipse
by John Culleton 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

I have two objects, a circle and an ellipse, which together make a cartoonish human eye. But there is a black line from the center to the edge for both objects. I understand that this is a pie segment in the circle/ellipse. No matter how I move the little circles on the edge I can't get rid of this line. If I move too far the entire shape disappears. Move back a tiny increment and there is the line again. To put it another way, how do I create either shape without having any pie slice at all? Just a pure circle or ellipse. I have three books on Inkscape but none of them seem to cover this problem.

bug?
by Elwin Estle 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

I have this oddball behavior going on with copy/paste. I am running 0.47 on a mac with OS X Leopard. I have a path that I am trying to copy and do "paste in place". However, when I paste the path, what I am getting is an IMAGE, not a path, I can't edit it. It has a white background, which shouldn't be there, and it doesn't paste in place. It pastes off to the left of where it should be. I am wanting to paste it in place on a different layer, but even pasting it on the same layer creates an image, instead of a copy of the original path. How I determined that it was an image was to go into the XML editor and watched what happened when I did the paste. Sure enough, the XML editor states that the copy is an image, not a path. What is going on? Have I changed a setting somewhere by accident? Or is this a bug?

Open EPS with Gradient
by Tobias Schulz 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

Hi, i have problems with opening EPS files with gradient. The file isnt rendered correctly. AI-Files are working right. I tried to convert the eps file with Ghostscript directly (to png and pdf). This works too, so it should be a problem with inkscape. Inscape 0.47 Windows 7 or Windows Server 2003 Ghostscript 8.70 and 8.71 Thanks for your help Tobias -- Tobias Schulz>>> In der Kirchtanne 27>>> 64297 Darmstadt-Eberstadt PropperDX@...961...>>> http://www.propperdx.de ____________________________________________________________________________ Diese Nachricht ist mit einer elektronischen Signatur versehen

Still more update. I opened a new file. Used the box tool to make a box. Copied and pasted it. ...and got a nice .png file on my desktop again. And the copy pasted in Inkscape was an image. --- On Wed, 2/24/10, Elwin Estle <chrysalis_reborn@...12...> wrote: From: Elwin Estle <chrysalis_reborn@...12...> Subject: Re: bug?

suggestion for guide creator extension
by unknown＠example.com 20 Feb '10

20 Feb '10

Hi, I LOVE the guides creator extension, it's almost perfect for what I want to do ..... the only issue I'm having is that the file I need to make has 11 vertical stickers. Would it be possible to change the 'pull down' menu to a 'write in' field which I could change to however many I need? That would make it perfect! Thanks, Dale
