Inkscape 0.48 About Screen Contest - slight delay
by Joshua A. Andler 17 Feb '10

17 Feb '10

Hey all, I was looking forward to announcing the contest beginning today... however we will have a slight delay before it begins. The reason behind the delay... we need some new builds with new features for our users! So, would packagers for win32 and OSX be willing to put some builds together soon for our users? Please respond if you will be able to help with this. Cheers, Josh

Inkscape and automatic art
by donn 10 Feb '10

10 Feb '10

Hi, I found a website that lists a lot of very fine free software for art and design (http://www.libregraphicsworld.org/ ) and in that list I found one app that is wonderful... It's called contextfree (you can apt-get it!) and it's all command-line based. You write a small script kind of thing and then use the cfdg command to make a png -- and here's the coolth -- or an SVG! (http://www.contextfreeart.org/index.html) How would one go about interfacing this into Inkscape? I can see a really nice extension arising out of it; a little preview, a link to a text editor and a Render button. While you are here, there's another generator app that takes it into the 3rd dimension. This one is called 'structure-synth' (also apt-gettable). Imagine if that could also be brought into Inkscape! (although it does not supply svg output :( ) (http://structuresynth.sourceforge.net/) \d -- Fonty Python and Things! -- http://otherwise.relics.co.za/wiki/Software

SVG Hyperlink
by Rottgardt, Jens (K-SIB-2/3) 08 Feb '10

08 Feb '10

Hello, this is not a special inkscape question but maybe someone can help me anyhow. The following code snippet does not work in IE8. (http://www.selfsvg.info/content/listings/a_example.svg) An SVG element (black circle) is configured with a hyperlink. The link does not open when cklicking the svg element. I use the Adobe SVG plugin. It only works when using a frame structure and the target points to an existing frame. Any idea what the problem could be and how to solve it ? <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd"> <svg version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <a xlink:href="http://www.w3.org" target="_blank"> <circle cx="20" cy="20" r="15" /> </a> </svg> ...

Updating/adding to the showcase...
by VitalBodies.com 07 Feb '10

07 Feb '10

Greetings, I created a graphic for the MakeHuman project and wondered if we can add it to the Show Case. The showcase is located here: http://www.inkscape.org/showcase/index.php?lang=en There is BRANDING, ICONS and such and perhaps we could add SUPPORTING OPEN SOURCE PROJECTS. I THINK the show case is part of the main site not the wiki or forum but I was not totally sure. If there is a way for me to edit the page myself let me know. The graphic was created using Inkscape with some screen captures edited in GIMP. Graphic: http://www.vitalbodies.com/site/uploads/images/graphics/MakeHuman_Boxes_V1_… I could also do a writeup or show additional screen captures in Inkscape. Thanks VitalBodies PS is this the correct place to ask this question?

Remote for jessyink presentations -- on a mac, anyway
by Elwin Estle 07 Feb '10

07 Feb '10

Found something really cool! On a mac (at least on my 2007 model mac mini, anyway), the apple remote that comes with it can be used, in conjunction with a program called NeoRemote, (http://www.jfedor.org/neoremote/) ... to switch slides in jessyink. NeoRemote was intended to allow the apple remote to be used for slide transitions with NeoOffice presentations. (NeoOffice is a version of Open Office for the mac, but their presentations are kinda lame, no anti-aliasing) It remaps the remote buttons to emulate keyboard keys. There are other such programs for the apple remote, but NeoRemote is free. This works in Safari, Firefox, Opera, and Google Chrome. (As probably would be expected, but ya never know...)

Printing to Minolta 1350W problems
by tj 03 Feb '10

03 Feb '10

I have a Minolta 1350W PagePro printer and I am having problems printing different sized medium. I create a doc page size of 3.5"x5.5" and draw what I need to draw. Now the problem happens when I try to print. The Minolta feeds paper in the middle. I.e. there are two paper edge slides that meet in the middle. But, when printing, inkscape wants the to start printing at the far left. So, it entirely misses the card! Plus, the Minolta can not feed unless the card stock is placed in the center. The printing options have nothing to correct this. You can not even select standard paper size options that the ppd allows. Only paper thickness. So how do I get inkscape top print where the printer has the media, in the center? tj

Installing Inkscape on Scientific Linux
by Wim Janssen 02 Feb '10

02 Feb '10

Hello Folks, As you know Scientific Linux is intended to be a more secure and stable version of RedHat. uname -a results in: Linux "systemname" 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5 #1 SMP Wed Jan 20 01:05:28 EST 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux and the file: /etc/redhat-release gives: Scientific Linux SL release 5.4 (Boron) From an earlier attempts I learned to install glibmm. among other packages. This module was installed with the rpm-command: rpm -ivh glibmm24-2.8.12-1.i386.rpm warning: glibmm24-2.8.12-1.i386.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:glibmm24 ########################################### [100%] So I-am somewhat confused that with installing Inkscape there is an error- message that package glibmm is not found, see below. So trying to install Inkscape, which is: inkscape-0.47.tar.gz the ./configure command in the end results in: checking for CAIRO_USER_FONTS... no checking for INKSCAPE... configure: error: Package requirements (gdkmm-2. glibmm-2.4 giomm-2.4 gtkmm-2.4 >= 2.10.0 gtk+-2.0 libxml-2.0 >= 2.6.11 libxslt >= 1.0.15 cairo sigc++-2.0 >= 2.0.12 gthread-2.0 >= 2.0 libp 1.2 gsl) were not met: 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 Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables INKSCAPE_CFLAGS and INKSCAPE_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. Help is very much appreciated... Kind regards, Wim Janssen P.S. Installing the rpm-package of inkscape results in the same errors. -- Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen Phone: +31(0)24-3652097 [ Wim Janssen ] Hoge Energie Fysica HG03.822 Fax: +31(0)24-3652191 Systeembeheer Toernooiveld 1 E-mail: WGHM.Janssen@...2697... 6525 ED Nijmegen URL: http://www.hef.ru.nl
