Re: [Inkscape-user] Removing part of the line that defines arectangle

Draw rectangle, "Object to path" Click a side of the rectangle "insert new nodes" "insert new nodes" position as needed, "split path between nodes" Or Draw a rectangle, draw a shape that defines the chunk of the wall to be missing, "Path/Difference" then edit path by nodes, then split path, then delete nodes as needed. -----Original Message----- From: inkscape-user-bounces(a)lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:inkscape-user-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net]On Behalf Of Paul Smith Sent: Monday, August 18, 2008 3:46 PM To: Inkscape User Community Subject: Re: [Inkscape-user] Removing part of the line that defines arectangle Thanks, Aaron. Your first method works if one wants to remove the entire line. But imagine that one wants to remove only a little bit of the line (not the entire line). Can it be done without the Bezier tool?

file format for printing
by Julie 18 Aug '08

18 Aug '08

Hi, I apologize for asking what I'm sure is an incredibly basic question, but internet answers seem to be too technical for my understanding or non-existant. I don't know which file format I should use in order to send an inkscape generated document off for printing. The file that I'm working with is a fairly simple 8.5 x 11" document. In the past I'd saved a similar document as a pdf to send to the printers, but this time it doesn't seem to be appearing exactly as shown in my inkscape file. Do I need to download Cairo to fix this? I went to that site but felt fairly confused by the array of available options. Is pdf even the best option for printing? Could someone shed some light on this for me? Thanks so much. Julie

Inkscape stuff imported into blender (images)
by Elwin Estle 17 Aug '08

17 Aug '08

This first thing involves taking a square in Inkscape and then using some text and the boolean functions to "cut" the text out of the square, i.e. to create a text shaped hole. This was then imported into Blender and a light with the halo option turned on was animated behind the object, pointed toward the camera. http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/4851/halotextvx4.gif This was done by using the gear script, then using various boolean operations to add the letters and the connections between the letters and the gears. The whole shebang was imported into Blender, the "gear train" was broken up into individual gears, extruded and animated (ambient occlusion used for the lighting.) http://img126.imageshack.us/img126/6058/ogregearsxz2.gif

Flowchart question
by R C 17 Aug '08

17 Aug '08

Hi, I am trying to draw a flowchart of the form: <---------------- | _____ __ |__ | | | | | ---->| A |--->| B |---> |_____| |_____| I modified the example in the user manual to: size(300,100); import flowchart; block b0=rectangle("",(-1.5,1)); block b1=rectangle("A",(-1,1)); block b2=rectangle("B",(1,1)); draw(b0); draw(b1); draw(b2); add(new void(frame f, transform t) { picture pic; draw(pic,Label("FF",0.5,N), path(new pair[]{(-2.,1),b0.left(t)},Horizontal), Arrow,PenMargin); draw(pic,Label("F",0.5,N), path(new pair[]{b0.right(t),b1.left(t)},Horizontal), Arrow,PenMargin); draw(pic,Label("E",0.5,N), path(new pair[]{b1.right(t),b2.left(t)},Horizontal), Arrow,PenMargin); draw(pic,Label("R",0.5,E), path(new pair[]{b2.top(t),b0.top(t)},Vertical), Arrow,PenMargin); draw(pic,Label("P",0.5,N), path(new pair[]{b2.right(t),(+2.,1)},Horizontal), Arrow,PenMargin); add(f,pic.fit()); }); However, the resulting flowchart (pdf file attached) has several problems: - the line connecting the block labeled B to the unlabeled block b0 (which I would also like to reduce to a point) seems to be connected directly horizontally from b2 to b0 and not as a vertical followed by a horizontal then vertical segment from the top of b1 to the top of b0, - the lines drawn to connect to the left of block b0, and the line from the right of block b1 (labeled B) do not seem to be consistent with the specified coordinates, and - I am unable to independent specify the size of the blocks. I would appreciate any suggestions to fix these problems. Thanks, Recif

Re: [Inkscape-user] Tiled Clones Trace Question
by Richard Querin 13 Aug '08

Oh man. I figured it out once I examined the file you attached. I was mistakenly setting the fill and stroke to "none" with the 'X" button, not UNsetting them with the "?" button in the Fill&Stroke dialog. It works as advertised now. Silly mistake. Thanks for the help guys! RQ On Wed, Aug 13, 2008 at 3:02 PM, Rob Antonishen <rob.antonishen@...155...> wrote: > Sent to list and direct. Hope that helps figure it out. > > -Rob A> >

Tiled Clones Trace Question
by Richard Querin 13 Aug '08

13 Aug '08

Hi, I'm playing around with the Trace option for tiled clones and I'm having a problem. I'm creating an 8x8 grid of tiled rectangles overtop of a bitmap (I tried this with a gradient filled rectangle underneath as well). Using the trace tab, i can get the clones to be output based on presence, opacity, and size, but I can't seem to get them to be created based on the underlying object's color as is described here: http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Tiles-Trace.html I've made sure the base object has an unset fill (which the tooltip and article recommend) but I still can't recreate the example in Tavmjong's guide. Any clues as to what I'm doing wrong? RQ

Tiled Clones - Artifacts?
by Aaron Elmquist 12 Aug '08

12 Aug '08

I'm trying to make some tiled clones of a bunch of squares with a patter inside. I'm getting some kind of line between the squares when I tile it. I tried adjusting down the exponent with no success. Am I having issues because of something to do with the bounding box on this item? Thanks, -- ironranger.deviantart.com

what file and preference do I change...
by Aaron Elmquist 09 Aug '08

09 Aug '08

to adjust the default zoom level on the default document opened by inkscape? I've been playing with some settings in the default.svg file. I managed to get it to open a 500 x 500 px page with no boarder. I'd like to have the page zoomed to fit the screen. I see a setting of inkscape:zoom = "0.35" but that doesn't seem to work as adjust in the zoom level in inkscape has no effect on this value in the xml editor. Thanks for the help in advance. -- I'm not a communist. I can have a potato chip. --Ben Stein
