Different style when printing using filter effects
by unknown＠example.com 15 Dec '07

15 Dec '07

Hi! Im wondering, if is it possible, what many CAD application has, namely when I print the drawing, it applies different style and not the normal one. Im thinking like: When viewing vs. when printing(exporting as pdf) black ->black red -> black yellow -> dotted line green -> dot line dot line etc Maybe a button or a menu item to apply the alternate style (before exporting as pdf) and after it, to remove. Or similar to the viewing possibilities (this one would be the best solution so far, but require programming skills): -Normal -Outline -Simplified/Technical/Black&White I think it would be useful for the drawing community too, for ex. somebody need to design a logo in color and grayscale (or when printing in black and white). As a short term solution I think Filter effects is the easiest solution (no programming required). Can somebody help if is it possible or where can I start?

Fwd: Resend: Converting older Illustrator AI format
by Michael S 13 Dec '07

13 Dec '07

(Sorry for the duplicate post -- first msg was sent before I was subscribed) I have some files in Illustrator's AI format (from Illustrator version 8 I believe). According to the Inkscape wiki, only AI version 9 or later can be opened by Inkscape. Does anyone know of a conversion tool that can open my v8 AI files and convert them into a format that Inkscape can open? Thanks, Michael

Equation Graphing (like geg) in Inkscape?
by Phil Rhoades 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

People, I would like to able to produce graphs from equations like geg (Graphical Equation Grapher - uses gtk): http://www.infolaunch.com/~daveb/ A found a suggestion that this is possible in inkscape: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/TufteStylePresentation but I can't find any more info about how to do this - can someone give me some info? Ideally it would be great for Inkscape to be able to read a script with the list of equations (using some acceptable syntax) and plot them along with axes, grids, area selection, zoom etc. geg has limitations wrt displaying grids, exporting to PDF etc. It seems that this would be useful addition to Inkscape?

Using textures
by Will Gant 11 Dec '07

11 Dec '07

Ok, I tried creating some textures to fill in various items in an inkscape drawing that I'm using to test. I created the textures in GIMP and saved them as PNGs. Performance has been abyssmal, even with small numbers of polygons. Is there a different way I'm supposed to be doing this? Will --------------------------------- Never miss a thing.

IMHO "save as" tick box is the most elegant way. Cédric

No, I did not mean to reply to you directly. My apologies. I understand the point that you have made. I have been burned by forgetting to embed images in the past. That's mostly my fault for forgetting (just like forgetting to make my text a path before giving my svg to others). However, if I had an "up-front" feature somewhere that would help me remember then maybe other users would find it handy too. I'm no developer nor a bigwig in the community so I wouldn't expect anything that I suggest to go very far. Thank goodness for that. :) heathenx
