latex formulae rendering
by Oscar Lopez 09 Apr '08

09 Apr '08

Dear all I've just installed inkscape (Inkscape 0.45.1 (Sep 20 2007))at a kubuntu machine and I am evaluating the graph annotation capabilities of the program using latex. I have also installed: pstoedit: version 3.44, python 2.5.1, PyXML-0.8.4, ghostscript 8.61 latex --version pdfTeX using libpoppler 3.141592-1.40.3-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.6) I am trying make a graph with a simple latex math symbol. Using Effects->Render->LatexFormula and then $\pi$, $\pi$ or \[\pi\] the program freezes up and in a terminal using top I can see that a gs process is taking almost the 100% of the CPU. After some time I should kill the gs and inkscape processes because nothing happens. What am i doing wrong? Are there any system configuration I am missing? Are there any evident bits that I missunderstood? If I am missing something obvious, please bear with me because this is my first try to inkscape. Another concern I have is the use of inkscape in windows because I am starting a documentation project with a colleague that uses windows. I would like to know if the drawing annotation capabilities using latex are fully cross platforms. I mean if the via Effects->Render->LatexFormula works the same way at windows. Thank you very much for any help Best regards

Saving Filters in Inkscape 0.46
by heathenx 08 Apr '08

08 Apr '08

I'm just getting into the new filters in Inkscape 0.46. So far I have been able to create a few things. I have noticed that setting up a filter at first takes a little time. What are our options regarding saving these filters and applying them to future projects? My instinct wants there to be a "save filter" or "export filter" somewhere. heathenx

Filling for fonts (was: Re: White overlap in glyphs)
by Kyungjun Lee 08 Apr '08

08 Apr '08

Hi, http://www.truetype-typography.com/ttoutln.htm Here it says: > [O]verlapping shapes [...] are discouraged [...] However if you do choose to use them, you'll discover TrueType uses a non-zero winding fill algorithm. Does this mean Inkscape is against the spec? Can someone look into this, please?

Filter effects for two (or more) objects
by Kurt Hutchinson 08 Apr '08

08 Apr '08

Is my conclusion correct that until feImage is done, other primitives like feBlend, feComposite, and feMerge cannot work directly with two different objects? For example, using feComposite with the Out operator to "punch" a hole in one object shaped like another object. Kurt

uniconv conversion from .cdr on Windows XP
by Alvin Penner 07 Apr '08

07 Apr '08

has anyone been able to successfully use the python utility uniconv to do a conversion on a win32 machine from .cdr to .svg, preferably from a DOS prompt, since that is easier? I can do a successful conversion from .svg to .svg in DOS, but that is not very interesting. When I try either a .cdr to .svg, or .wmf to .svg, I get the following errors : http://www.nabble.com/file/p16517262/uniconv.txt uniconv.txt -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/uniconv-conversion-from-.cdr-on-Windows-XP-tp16517262… Sent from the Inkscape - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
