How do I install this on OSX? I have tried many fixes, I fixed the 1f037cc29cee8e0c60ab4753d4151741c8170e4849129bac68fdc60925eb971d vs 7ce4f70f1cb03cd0bab7dc94821a89bf71600bd59c763ae0d78c48f33db3d9ac error, that gave me: /tmp/inkscape-20181213-31009-1m3uku/inkscape-0.92.2/src/extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.h:299:9: error: unknown type name 'GBool' GBool isolated = gFalse, GBool knockout = gFalse, ^ I tried: brew install caskformula/caskformula/inkscape --HEAD --branch-0.92 That gave me: /tmp/inkscape-20181213-35698-1n7iyun/src/extension/internal/pdfinput/svg-builder.cpp:1023:48: error: no member named 'getCString' in 'GooString' _font_specification = font->getName()->getCString(); ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^ I tried: brew cask install inkscape But that wants me to install XQuartz.

REPOST: Display and User units, Scaling, Measuring Paths, Importing PDF
by Philip Rhoades 13 Dec '18

13 Dec '18

People, I didn't get an answer to this a year ago and the problem has come again so I thought I would repost to see if I have any more luck with responses this time: If I produce a new drawing on an A4 page with Display and User units in mm with a scaling factor of 1.0, I can draw a rectangle of XxY and when I use the Visualise->Measure Path Extension with a Scale Factor of 100 and Length Unit in m - I get exactly the right dimensions for the rectangle for its perimeter length and area - all good! However, I have imported a surveyor's map from a PDF file into Inkscape SVG (using defaults) and I need to be able to draw rectangles on it as above in mm (like my test) that will correspond to m in the real world but the drawing is on an A3 page and I have tried scaling and everything else I can think of and Googled a lot but I still can't do what I was able to do with my little test case. So: How can I convert the drawing to be on an A4 page with mm units so the mm correspond to m in the real world and the Measure Path Extension will give me the correct result in m and sqm? The original PDF says the scale was 1:500. I am using: Inkscape 0.92.3 (2405546, 2018-03-11) Thanks, Phil. -- Philip Rhoades PO Box 896 Cowra NSW 2794 Australia E-mail: phil@...2067... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Inkscape-user mailing list Inkscape-user(a)lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/inkscape-user

questions about snapping centers
by brynn 19 Nov '18

19 Nov '18

Hi Friends, Here's the setup. Snap the center of one object of a group (of 2 or more objects) to the center of a rectangle. If you use the option "Snap an item's rotation center", it won't work. Inkscape wants to snap the center of the group to the center of the rectangle. But if you use the option "Snap center of objects", it works like a dream. I've always assumed that the relatively new (well, new-er, anyway) "Snap center of objects" was meant for those unusual cases where the center of an object and the rotation center of an object are not the same spot. But this behavior implies that perhaps "Snap center of objects" has a different purpose (than what I thought). Questions: 1 -- Is there a bug involved in the above scenario? 2 -- Exactly what is the purpose for "Snap center of objects" compared to "Snap an item's rotation center"? 3 -- Could the tootip text (for one or both options) be improved, to better represent how they work? I'm glad to memorialize whatever appropriate request is revealed about this, in a bug report. I'm just not sure exactly which part needs improvement or might be a bug (the behavior or the button names/tooltips). (This was tested with Inkscape 0.92.3 on Windows 7 Pro. Also I had all other snap options disabled, except for the snap center options, during testing.) Thank you very much, brynn

Inkscape Forum
by Victor Westmann 13 Nov '18

13 Nov '18

Hi Guys, I am a long time inkscape user but I just recently found the forum. Maybe it is just me but isn't it possible for us to include the forum ( www.inkscapeforum.com) in one of the main menus of the Inkscape website? (maybe under the option "community" of under the option "learn"?) There such a rich wealth of knowledge and so many active discussions that I feel like I have rediscovered this application today altogether! What do you think? Regards, --Victor Westmann

Fwd: [Inkscape-devel] Website Will be Down in two days
by Maren Hachmann 10 Oct '18

10 Oct '18

Forwarding message from Martin to the correct list address: ------------------------------ Dear Developers, Translators and affable Users of Inkscape, The Inkscape website at inkscape.org will be down for upgrades soon. This is dependent on when bryce is available for DNS change over. The process involves moving the website to the new CentOS 7.6 server from OSUOSL which is now setup, you can reach this new server by manually setting your /etc/hosts for inkscape.org to 140.211.9.79 and visiting https://inkscape.org Everyone is invited to visit the new site, it looks exactly like the old one. To see if it's still working correctly. It now uses python3 and django 1.11, so there's quite an upgrade planned for all the tech. But so far it's holding steady. The plan is to display this message to users, English only. http://140.211.9.79/ while we move the database and sync up the media. Best Regards, Martin Owens _______________________________________________ Inkscape-devel mailing list Inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/inkscape-devel

extension - generate noise
by Andrew Kurn 09 Oct '18

09 Oct '18

This is to announce a new extension /Chipscratches/ It generates a rectangle of visual noise: chips, scratches, and specks. These come from a library written by C R, my co-author. This is a beta version, so feedback is requested, especially about the value of existing features and some new ones mentioned in the description. Andrew

Inkscape can be extremely frustrating
by K B 13 Sep '18

13 Sep '18

All I want to do to begin with is draw a simple Line Circle. (white background with white inside the circle). But instead it draws a dashed-rectangle with (4) little squares. Two squares are on the rectangle and the other two are outside. So, I go into: Edit, Preferences and the Circle it not even listed under Shapes! Crazy. Does anybody know what I should do? Thank you. Ken
