Re: [Inkscape-user] My Scalable Vector Graphics Don't Scale

Frank, it is an issue with the image viewer, not with the XML file itself. I use Opera - and it scales correctly in this browser. Another example is Gnome's default image viewer (in Fedora, I forgot its name). It doesn't scale the SVG, instead it stretches it (with interpolation) as if it were a raster image; at least this is what happens on my computer. Alex Railean

Re: [Inkscape-user] My Scalable Vector Graphics Don't Scale (Benjamin Huot)

Interesting. I'm assuming you're on a Mac. Safari on Windows doesn't scale my Inkscape created image either. And when I embed the images in HTML they don't scale in any browser I tried. I haven't tried it on my Mac yet, I'm on a work PC at the moment. Regardless it seems the images should scale when embedded in HTML. Does anyone know the XML tag that controls this? I noticed in the Map image referred to below that the dimensions of the image are specified but when I tried to manually remove them from the Inkspace generated XML it didn't help.

Re: [Inkscape-user] resizing page without resizing drawing?
by Tony Vigil 19 Dec '07

19 Dec '07

I've never seen graphics rescale when I change my page size. Opposite to what was originally asked, how would one force objects to scale with the page when the page size is changed? I see mention of a viewBox attribute. Is that something that is only available through manual editing of the XML, or does Inkscape have this feature per object? If Inkscape isn't capable of doing this (yet), could it be a useful feature? - Tony

match properties
by heathenx 19 Dec '07

19 Dec '07

Was thinking. In AutoCAD we have this feature called "Match Properties". Basically, if you have two different objects with different properties, say color, layer, or linetype, one can select the source object (the one with the properties that you want) and apply it's properties to the target object. Is there anything in Inkscape that is similar? heathenx

Re: [Inkscape-user] resizing page without resizing drawing?
by Cedric Sagne 19 Dec '07

To bring some water to the mill, I had a "squashed" image problem importing in Scribus (those also on that list saw it). The image I drew is based on a vectorisation of a picture through VectorMagic, the vectoriser of Stanford University, which did add the viewbox attribute to all files I created through there. It is possibly also the case of files created in AI ! viewBox="0 0 132 175" A small Inkscape file does not create such an attribute. But is there indeed a place in the Inkscape GUI where it is visible? Cédric

About PDF Import and a font name problem.
by Kim Hovorka 19 Dec '07

19 Dec '07

Hello, I have to import PDF files on a daily basis from PDF drivers such as Adobe PDF printer driver or PrimoPDF and when importing one thing I have recently learned as I am starting to work with inkscape is that the Font names seem to not get imported properly and perhaps this is a known bug. If the font used to print to the Driver is for example Times New Roman, when it is imported to SVG in inkscape it is converted to the name TimesNewRoman and the missing spaces are the main problem in the font name. If I use a text editor and do a search and replace on TimesNewRoman and replace it with Times New Roman then the font is used properly. I would hope this can be easily corrected. I have another question and I don't know if there is somewhere you can already do this. It would be nice if the X= value could be limited to just a single X coordinate rather than a list in my type of work so that the text string is a single string in positioning. Example: x="-3.296843 1.747382 2.3432245" could just be x="-3.296843". Is that a possibility?

Vacuum defs minor problem
by Brian Vanderburg II 19 Dec '07

19 Dec '07

I'm not sure if this is only my problem or not, but vacuuming defs only seems to work when the file is freshly opened/reverted. If I make changes to a file that causes new defs to be created, then delete something else that no longer needs some defs and do a vacuum defs, it does not. If I save the file and then do a vacuum defs, it still does not. Only if I reopen and then vacuum or save then revert then vacuum does it seem to work. It's not too big of a deal, but the file size is reduced a little when the unused defs are no longer there, and I normally do this before saving without thinking about saving, reverting, vacuuming, and then saving again. I'm on XP SP2, and this seems to be the case with 0.45 and a development snapshot I've recently downloaded. Brian Vanderburg II

More control over gradients
by Brian Vanderburg II 18 Dec '07

18 Dec '07

First of all thanks for such a great product. I know that full control can be achieved by directly editing the file, but I don't know how much Inkscape might still change. After looking though the files produced by Inkscape, I know that for each item that uses a gradient, a special 'dummy' gradient is created that uses the 'real' gradient. This makes it where each item can have it's own transforms for the gradient. But, what if I want two items to use the same transforms, the same 'dummy' gradient. I could use a clone, but what if I have an ellipse and a rectangle, but both I want to use the same gradient. Here is how it currently works: linearGradient1234 (real gradient with real stops) | |- linearGradient2345 (dummy gradient uses 1234) | | | |- rectangle (using dummy gradient 2345) | |- linearGradient7890 (dummy gradient uses 1234) | |- ellipse (using dummy gradient 7890) What I want to be able to do is this: linearGradient1234 (real gradient with real stops) | |- linearGradient2345 (dummy gradient uses 1234) | |- rectangle (using dummy gradient 2345) |- ellipse (using dummy gradient 2345) So that any transforms I apply to the gradient used by the rectangle will also affect the ellipse. Perhaps something that would be nice would be a 'graph' editor for gradients (and for other things maybe as well) that would show the 'real' gradient, and any 'dummy' child gradients connected, grandchild gradients,etc, or something where you can define the actual relationship however you want. Then, when assigning a gradient you can select from not a gradient list only showing the 'real' but a tree, where the items in the root of the tree are the top gradients and sub-items are child gradients that use the top gradients or their parent gradients (support for any level of nested gradients, grandchild gradients, etc) When editing a gradient for an item, the ability to 'pick' which gradient is being edited would be nice as well. For example. If my document is like this: linearGradient1234 (real gradient with real stops) | |- linearGradient2345 (dummy gradient uses 1234) | |- rectangle (using dummy gradient 2345) | |- linearGradient7890 (dummy gradient uses 2345 which uses 1234) |- ellipse (using dummy gradient 7890) When editing the gradient of the ellipse, I can choose to edit gradient 7890 which would only affect the ellipse, or I can edit 2345, which would affect both the ellipse and the rectangle, or I can edit the stops of 1234, which would affect both. This would also make it easy to have a master transformation in 2345 that affects both and a fine-tuned transformation in 7890 just for the ellipse. Perhaps even the same idea could be applied to anything, such as patterns as well. Brian Vanderburg II

Create inkscape gradient to use in the Gimp
by D. Jones 17 Dec '07

17 Dec '07

I understand that the Gimp has the ability to svg gradients. How do you create a svg gradient with Inkscape? ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Yahoo!
