Automatically fitting A4 image to A4 page?
by Philip Rhoades 26 Jan '10

26 Jan '10

People, After I have scanned an A4 page, it would be nice to import it into Inkscape and automatically fit it to the A4 outline to continue work on the page (to add text and signature images etc to it) but it doesn't seem possible? I have to manually scale the image which is fairly tedious . . Suggestions? Thanks, Phil. -- Philip Rhoades GPO Box 3411 Sydney NSW 2001 Australia E-mail: phil@...2067...

Call for booth volunteers - SCALE8x
by Jon Cruz 26 Jan '10

26 Jan '10

Hello, This is a general call to see if anyone might be able to volunteer some time to help man the Inkscape booth/area at SCALE8x next month in Los Angeles. If you might be able to lend some time, we have a few conference passes as an exhibitor. So if you can get there, we can get you in. :-) It's a great experience, and very low pressure. Don't feel intimidated; step on up.

Snap problem
by Abrolag 25 Jan '10

25 Jan '10

This is something I've been meaning to comment of for ages :? I've been in the habit of grouping objects for schematic components then surrounding them with an invisible bounding box (thinnest possible line with no colour) that is 1mm grid aligned. This has worked perfectly on older versions of Inkscape so I could quickly and precisely position these objects. However with 0.47 the snap behaviour has become extremely difficult to handle. It seems now that every single point in the object will try to act as a snap focus and accurate positioning is a nightmare :( Can anyone suggest a way to get bounding box only snapping? -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune.

Re: [Inkscape-user] Export SVG: Size doesnt match original file

I think so, unless someone else has a better idea. If it's any consolation the scale factor is predictable, you would need to make your original drawing 80% of its current size. Unless Illustrator allows you to change the screen units. Inkscape assumes that the default resolution is 90 dpi. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Export-SVG%3A-Size-doesnt-match-original-file-tp27175… Sent from the Inkscape - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

printing from inkscape not the expected size
by Gary Hawkins 21 Jan '10

21 Jan '10

Hi I'm posting this for a friend so if you need more info I'll have to ask her <grin> My friend has a canon IP5200 printer and when she prints from inkscape the image comes out smaller. For e.g. trying to print and cut a 14 x 28 oblong. All measures up in inkscape, paper set to A4 both in inkscape and the printer, convert to png, print and hey ho.... my oblong has printed out as a 13 1/2 by 27 oblong. Does anyone have any ideas how to get the canon to print at 100%, she does not seem to have a 100% setting or it is not printing at this, I'm not sure which. she is having problems printing direct from inkscape so is exporting to png and printing that as I understand it. Thanks for any help Gaz(UK)

Filters Not Saved with PNG
by knowone 20 Jan '10

20 Jan '10

I have created a graphic with multiple layers. One of the layers is some text. I have applied a drop shadow filter to the text. When I save the file as PNG, the drop shadow is not saved. I have also tried applying a gaussian blur to the text layer and to the text layer after converting it to an object. The blur is not applied. How can I save the file as PNG with the drop shadow intact? ----- http://couponsdealuxe.com/ Coupons and deals for the wiser miser http://themebot.com/ Free Website Templates find a web layout on Themebot http://iedie.org/ Internet Explorer has got to go bye bye -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Filters-Not-Saved-with-PNG-tp27154938p27154938.html Sent from the Inkscape - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
