SVG web programming OT?
by Patrick 17 Jul '08

17 Jul '08

I hope I am not too far off topic here...... There are quite a few resources out these concerning programming SVG graphics but I have not found much of anything concerning SVG web programming. What I mean to say is, how do I take an SVG document and add hyperlinks, css, javascript, etc , to make that document a rich full fledged web site?-Patrick

INKSCAPE GALLERY RC2 ------draw freely...then publish!-------
by davide|inkscapegallery 15 Jul '08

15 Jul '08

There's a lot to say about this new release...you might prefer to see it immediately..so, start from here: http://inkscapegallery.net/home I worked hard for three months to build gimpgallery (http://gimpgallery.net)and it has been recently released... So i had many ideas about how to improve inkscape gallery, i was tired and anxious at the same time... The second feeling won and i'm here to list what i've done in the last days: *The home page* It is a complete section with 4 subsections, "from the inkscape's world", "highlight on", "special sections" and "a little taste of inkscpae gallery". *4 new sections called:* fresh, mostvoted, older and popular *The "inkscape galleria"* it is a slideshow made with a jquery plugin labeled "galleria",indeed. It is quite smart and fast, just to give you another way to see what is best in inkscape gallery: images! *The user's "inkscape galleria"* Every user has his own "galleria" , just click on the link in the title block of each image content *Some layout improvements* In a big website you will always have something you fixed with a workaround, not in the best way, in other words... I've found better solutions now *The "from the inkscape world" section* It is the upper section in the home page. This was not an hard work but is important i mean, just because i'd like to work together with other inkscape based website. *The wysiwyg editor* we have a simple wysiwyg editor now. It works only for logged in users, anyway *The antispam framework* we've never had critical spam problems, you can directly publish in inkscape gallery only when logged in, indeed. we have user profiles, with an email field and i wanted to keep it safe from spam even if you need to be logged in to view the user profiles... (maybe not anymore in the future...) Anyway, the email field is protected from spam, now *The gimpgallery promo* I wanted to make you know about gimp gallery. It is another image gallery website for a free image editor and it is even more advanced compared to inkscape gallery, actually. It is freshly born and quite empty, i had to borrow some images from inkscape gallery so, if you're a gimper, go there to publish your images! This is what, i hope you to like it, there's always something to fix, to improve but that's inevitable (especially on IE) :-) i'm planning the next steps to bring inkscape gallery to the next release! See you, and keep drawing! Da. http://inkscapegallery.net

LUG Radio UK, Linux World
by Tavmjong Bah 14 Jul '08

14 Jul '08

Hi, I just want to check that there won't be an Inkscape booth at Lug Radio UK. Is that right? Also, is anybody planning on setting up a booth at Linux World? I know there has been one at least once in the past. The publisher of my book is willing to send copies to be displayed at these (or any other) conferences. BTW, the 2nd Edition (for 0.46) should be out soon. Tav

Inkscape and Latex fonts
by Paulo J. Matos 14 Jul '08

14 Jul '08

Hello all, I use inkscape to create my latex diagrams, then I export them to eps or pdf to include them in slides or papers. One thing that bothers me is that the fonts are different (latex and inkscape fonts). Is there a way to draw the text in the inkscape diagram with the font used on the document the diagram is included? Cheers, -- Paulo Jorge Matos - pocm at ecs.soton.ac.uk http://www.personal.soton.ac.uk/pocm PhD Student @ ECS University of Southampton, UK

Can inkscape export an .ai file?
by Richard Querin 11 Jul '08

11 Jul '08

Hi, I've read in the docs that it can, but I don't get that as one of my choices in the SaveAs drop down list of file extensions. Do I need to install something else to get Adobe Illustrator export working? Thanks ,RQ

Install 46 on Slackware 12.1
by John Culleton 11 Jul '08

11 Jul '08

It seems that even the latest Slackware is missing a jillion libraries needed by Inkscape. But I note there are complied rpm versions for other versions of Linux. Are these self contained? Or do they need the jillion libraries at runtime? Here is the missing library list from my ./configure: No package 'gdkmm-2.4' found No package 'glibmm-2.4' found No package 'gtkmm-2.4' found No package 'sigc++-2.0' found -- John Culleton Resources for every author and publisher: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf http://www.creativemindspress.com/newbiefaq.htm http://www.gropenassoc.com/TopLevelPages/reference%20desk.htm

SVG source images get goofed up when combined
by Quentin Hartman 10 Jul '08

10 Jul '08

I often use Inkscape to build network diagrams. I've collected a number of SVG images (mostly from Tango Icons) which I use as objects in those diagrams. On my Ubuntu Hardy box today I discovered that once I get a number of objects into a document, if I import a single new object, the colors on it get all messed up upon import. This never happened before. Opening the object alone, or importing it into a new document works fine. Have any of you seen this behavior in .46? If so, have you figured out a work-around? Might it have something to do with the (new?) color management stuff? I chose not to attach files to the list because they are rather large, but I would be happy to send examples to anyone interested in exploring this off-list. -- -Regards- -Quentin Hartman-
