Breaking text apart ?
by Gunnar Lestander 03 Mar '09

03 Mar '09

I have imported a PDF with a electronic schematic and have found that text are kept together all over the drawing and not just over linebreaks. XML editor looks like: ==========================- <svg:text id="text1"> <svg:tspan id="tspan1"> "Choose power supply" <svg:tspan id="tspan2"> "with jumper" <svg:tspan id="tspan3"> "between A, B, or C" <svg:tspan id="tspan4"> "R1" <svg:tspan id="tspan5"> "R37" ==========================- They are positioned in the big drawing like this : Upper right corner: "Choose power supply with jumper between A, B, or C" Low to the right: "R1" Center of drawing: "R37" Is there a simple way to break´them apart to single line text so I can handle/move them individually? Commando, macro or something else to give me somthing like this: ================== <svg:text id="text1"> <svg:tspan id="tspan1"> "Choose power supply" <svg:text id="text2"> <svg:tspan id="tspan2"> "with jumper" <svg:text id="text3"> <svg:tspan id="tspan3"> "between A, B, or C" <svg:text id="text4"> <svg:tspan id="tspan4"> "R1" <svg:text id="text5"> <svg:tspan id="tspan5"> "R37" ===================== // Gunnar Lestander

Re: [Inkscape-user] Tango icons as default set
by Guillermo Espertino 02 Mar '09

Plácido Sousa sent an improved version of the current default icon set to the user list. It's a clear improvement over the current, and in my opinion, it should be made the default set since there is no consensus about the Tangoified theme and the default has some evident problems. The proposed set from Sousa is a polished version of the same icons we have now, so the familiarity won't be a problem and the people -like me- who think the current set needs desperately some love will be more comfortable with the new look. What do you think?

Great work Plácido! I think you really worked around the most evident issues of the theme and achieved a very coherent style. Even though I still prefer the Tangoified set, I think your theme is a clear improvement and it should replace the default set asap. I'd like to know what the rest think. In my opinion your set should be the default if there is no consensus about the Tango set. Gez

Iconset
by Plácido Sousa 01 Mar '09

01 Mar '09

Hi all, I've been improving (I think!) the inkscape iconset (work in progress). I've resized and simplified some of the icons to make them look better in my Linux distro (Ubuntu 8.10 - haven't tried others). If the feedback is positive I'll try them in Microsoft Windows to see what I can do! (Sorry! I don't own a Mac) SVG file - icon.svg - and a screenshot as an attachment. bye -- > Plácido André Sousa http://chezplacide.blogspot.com placidoaps@...155... .-. /v\ L I N U X // \\ >Phear the Penguin< /( )\ ^^-^^

why doesn't this work?
by Elwin Estle 25 Feb '09

I am trying to make a simple wedge shape that is 1/6 of a hexagon. So I used the polygon tool to make a hexagon. I convert it to a path. I duplicated it, shrunk it down some and used a boolean operation to cut a smaller hex shaped hole in the exact center of the larger hexagon. Then I used the node tool to select the extraneous nodes and delete them. Now I have two lines, both part of the same path, but not connected. When I select two end points on the lines and try to join them with a new segment, I get an error saying I haven't selected two nodes!!! So just for the heck of it, I used the bezier tool to make two separate lines, combined them to a single path and then tried to connect two end nodes with a new segment. Worked just fine. I could try to do the shape I am after this way, but getting everything positioned right might be something of a pain. I am just wondering why the first technique doesn't work. Seems like it should...

Remove Object Fill and Stroke in Palette
by Plácido Sousa 20 Feb '09

20 Feb '09

Hi, In some programs I remember to see a "color palete" (white with a red cross) to remove the color of object Fill or Stroke. Is there a similar thing with Inkscape? -- > Plácido André Sousa http://chezplacide.blogspot.com placidoaps@...155... .-. /v\ L I N U X // \\ >Phear the Penguin< /( )\ ^^-^^
