Draw a web site using only Inkscape
by Haakon Meland Eriksen 22 Jun '07

22 Jun '07

Hello, everyone! I'm new to the list, and would like to thank the Inkscape developers for making great free (as in freedom) software and for promoting an important open standard, SVG, as the drawing format. Konqueror 3.5.x ( and Apple's Safari?) and Mozilla Firefox 2.x are SVG enabled, which means children can now draw their web site using only Inkscape and put the linked SVG files directly on the web. This is very easy, a lot of fun, and I find the results are colourful and vivid. I've made a simple example - would you like to see? Take a look at http://far.no/svg/web.svg Yours sincerely, Haakon Meland Eriksen

non standard Inkscape SVG output
by Andy Richardson 22 Jun '07

22 Jun '07

I have just started using Scribus for page layout and have had an issue with the import of an SGV created in Inkscape. The image has two lines of text running along two separate curves. When I import the SVG into Scribus I get a message that tells the "SVG file contains unsupported features" and the resulting import has broken the text away from the paths. Are there text/path features in Inkscape which are non-standard or is this a Scribus problem? Interestingly enough an import of the same image when saved as an EPS imports fine. Any ideas? Andy

Imported png blurred
by Facundo Casco 21 Jun '07

21 Jun '07

Hi, I'm working with Inkscape to make some illustrations and noticed some little problem. When I import a png file it losses detail and looks blurred, I attach and image so you see what I'm talking about. Inkscape is a great program and I like it more every time I use it. That's why I want to learn to produce great work with it. Please if anyone knows what can I do to avoid this inconvenience let me know. Tnx. Facundo -- =,=

Re: [Inkscape-user] non standard Inkscape SVG output

Hi Import of text in SVG in Scribus is really an issue unless converted to path. If it needs to be edited, you should use Scribus's features directly - if not convert to shape. Cedric Creating "non-flowed" text that has been "Put on Path" still > detaches itself from the path when imported into Scribus. Converting the > text to "regular (non flowed) text" by using the "Convert to text" > command also does not fix the problem - the text is still detached on > import.

Cropping
by Keenan Pepper 21 Jun '07

How can I crop an SVG file with Inkscape? As in, I have an SVG file, and I want a smaller SVG file that contains a rectangular portion of it. Seems pretty basic, right? What's the simplest way to do it? Keenan Pepper

offtopic: printing a high image
by Khiraly 21 Jun '07

21 Jun '07

Hi! I know it is a bit offtopic, but maybe somebody can help me out there. I want to print an inkscape tutorial (hence the inkscape mailing list;), but none of the programs is capable to do it. Here is the original image: http://ic3.deviantart.com/fs13/f/2007/113/7/3/a_Quick_Guide_to_Inkscape_by_… I tried firefox, but prints only the first page, so the image is cutted at the top. And after that: gimp (with gimp-print plugin), gthumb, inkscape, evince. None of them was I successful. Any ideas?

Who is Tavmjong Bah aka Stephen Schrenk of Inkscape tutorial fame?
by unknown＠example.com 21 Jun '07

Is this the same Steve Schrenk of baseball fame?? How did he come upon the nom de plume of Tavmjong Bah?? I've Googled and Wikipedia'd for all I'm worth and can't find anything about this apparently very creative individual.? Amongst other things, he's also crafted some Arev fonts, whatever they are.

New Tutorial - Color Wheel Example
by Aaron Elmquist 19 Jun '07

19 Jun '07

I posted a cleaned up solution to the color wheel question asked a couple months back on my deviant site. Looks like the number of tuts on pixel2life.com is picking up steam as well. There's a neat little tut there for creating a rubber stamp effect. To those that have posted comments on the tribal artwork tut, thanks! ironranger.deviantart.com
