experimental versions on mac osx
by John Breedlove 08 Aug '07

Hello inkscapers, New to the list and to inkscape. Stumbled across the experimental "engravers toolkit" features and got extremely excited. Can anyone confirm for me that there does not yet exist a mac osx build that has these? Much thanks, -John

Re: [Inkscape-user] Epic and Inkscape cross reference question
by Andreas Neumann 06 Aug '07

06 Aug '07

Hello Skeeter, I think in order to be able to help you we would need more information. In what XML dialect did you embed the SVG files? Is this your own XML markup or something standardized, like e.g. docbook? In what software are people viewing your XML document? In a regular browser with SVG capabilities? Directly in the Epic editor? Is the Epic editor supporting SVG? Or is Are you transforming your XML with an XSL file? There are several linking mechanisms in SVG that you might use, but without knowing more and having an example, its probably hard to help. Andreas > I had posted the question below last week.

Epic and Inkscape cross reference question
by Glenn, Skeeter 06 Aug '07

06 Aug '07

I had posted the question below last week. I received no answers or help at all. Am I to take it that what I am asking is not possible? We use Epic as out xml editor and use Inkscape as our SVG editor. We have imbedded SVG graphics into our xml documents. We would like to place cross reference tags into our SVG that hot link into sections of the xml documents. As an example in our xml document we would have a flagnote "FL1" talking about a part of the SVG graphic we want to point attention at. When the end user would be reading the xml document, they could click on the "FL1" located inside of the SVG and it would take them to that part of the xml document that describes that SVG. So, how do I create that link from the SVG "FL1" to the xml document "FL1"? Remember that the svg is imbedded with in the same xml. Skeeter Glenn

Segmentation faults in Windows builds
by JonY 06 Aug '07

06 Aug '07

Hi, I just successfully built inkscape svn on Windows XP using Mingw and GTK from Modevia and have found a problem with the file save as dialog. Every time I try to save a file I created in Inkscape, it errors out with "Inkscape encountered an internal error and will close now." It also affects the save a copy dialog. The only workaround I found is to save a blank file when I start Inkscape, and use the save button after some work has been done to avoid the file save as dialog. GDB backtrace says: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x77c478c0 in strlen () from C:\WINDOWS\system32\msvcrt.dll ..... #1053 0x00b0e6d8 in intl!bind_textdomain_codeset () #1054 0x00b12b08 in intl!bind_textdomain_codeset () #1055 0x00b129f8 in intl!bind_textdomain_codeset () #1056 0x00f414f0 in sigc::internal::signal_impl::sweep () at c:/mingw4/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-pc-mingw32/4.1.1/../../../../include/c++/4. 1.1/bits/stl_list.h:141 Cannot access memory at address 0xabababab This error also happens on recent inkscape.modevia.com win32 builds. The stable 0.45.1 is unaffected. Unfortunately I have no experience in GDB. What can I do to help?

Aligning object centers to polygon vertices
by Benjamin Esham 04 Aug '07

04 Aug '07

Hello all, I am trying to align five paths so that the center of each is located on a vertex of a regular pentagon (or, equivalently, the point of a five-pointed star). The paths are all different sizes. Does anyone know of a way to do this? Thanks a lot, -- Benjamin D.

N-way node
by Facundo Casco 04 Aug '07

04 Aug '07

Hi, I know there a lot of expert Inkscape users here so I'd like your advice on something I was thinking. I wanted to draw some pattern with lines like the ones seen in dry lands, see attached file for an example. My first approach was to draw a grid (starting with one rectangle and Tiled Clones) and using Jitter Nodes on it, but it doesn't work. Then I realized that what I need is a line with nodes with more than to segments conected. In this case every node would connect four segments except for the ones on the edges which would have three and the four ones on every corner which would only have two. I believe there is no way to make such an object in Inkscape 0.45, is it at all posible in SVG? has someone found this kind of object interesting or usefull? Thanks in advance for your reponses. Regards, Facundo -- =,=

Wacom intuos2 on Windows
by Andy Gavin 04 Aug '07

04 Aug '07

Hi I've managed to get hold of an intuos2 a4 graphics tablet and am having difficulty using it with inkscape on Windows XP. I don't seem to be able to get any of the pressure features of the pad to work. If I go to the Input Devices... and select that the dialog that pops up is malfunctioning. It has Puck, Pressure Stylus and Erasure Stylus each listed twice on the drop-down. Selecting any of these has no effect on the pane below which becomes blank if any are selected. It is not possible to exit this dialog using the save button. Has anyone else had this problem? How would I fix it? I'd really love to get inkscape working :) Andy. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for a deal?

librsvg gives "width too large" for Inkscape SVG
by Benjamin Esham 04 Aug '07

04 Aug '07

Hello all, I was trying to create an image for Wikipedia (which renders SVGs with librsvg), but it refused to render the image. I downloaded librsvg; when I tried to render my image with its test program, I got: (process:13861): librsvg-WARNING **: rsvg_start_svg: width too large (process:13861): librsvg-WARNING **: Error loading SVG file. The SVG itself is available at [1], with other versions available at [2]. It was created with Inkscape 0.44.1 on Mac OS X. I have tried saving as both "Inkscape SVG" and "Plain SVG"; I have also copied all of the objects into a "fresh" SVG file, but to no effect. Can anyone tell me what's wrong with my image, and how I can fix it? Thanks a ton!
