Thanks! :o I've always thought the logo to be a mountain with a blotch of ink! ... and now that I look at it, it looks like a mushroom.

Rotate Viewport/Canvas
by microUgly 25 May '07

25 May '07

I've not long owned a graphics tablet and last night I had a lot fun inking some pencils with the calligraphy tool. But one of the issues I have with tablets is that you can't rotate them to draw lines on those funny angles - well, you can but it makes drawing more difficult. I've never seen any application do this, but it would be really neat if you could rotate the viewport/canvas just like you rotate a piece of paper. It is, of course, only going to be useful for tablet users. And I could rotate all of a drawing, and then rotate it backagain, but that would be tedious. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Rotate-Viewport-Canvas-tf3814013.html#a10796546 Sent from the Inkscape - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Anyone know what happened to that site? It was a great place to keep my svg files and share them with others vice versa. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I have a circular graphic that I would like to put text around, and can't seem to figure out how to do this. Any suggestions? -- -Adam -------------------------------------- Check out my CafePress shop -------------------------------------- www.cafepress.com/anarchy08

Hello Inkscapers! Below is an invitation to participate at the SVG Open 2007 conference in Tokyo. I hope that someone could do a course on Inkscape and a presentation or panel discussion. Thank you for your support and best wishes, Andreas =================== Call for Participation, SVG Open 2007, Tokyo/Japan, September 4-7 At this fifth international SVG Open conference, this is your chance to discuss development experience, products, workflows and strategies involving SVG.

Panelists should be experts in a common area of specialization of interest to conference attendees. If you would like to organize and lead a panel discussion, then please submit an abstract containing the agenda, and listing your panelists as co-authors.

When trying to load Inkscape on a Mac running 10.4.9 I get a message saying I need X11. I already have X11 installed. Thinking there may be a newer version, I downloaded the latest version from Apple. It was not possible to load it. What's the problem? Thanks, George

How to get back to "normal" circles?
by Dan H 22 May '07

22 May '07

Hello, for some drawing I drew a circle using the ellipse tool, and then used the node editor to give it a pie-shaped appearance. Now whenever I use the ellipse tool, I get the pie thingy, not the normal circle. Of course I could just delete the .inkscape directory altogether, but is there a better way? (v0.44, Debian etch) --D.

Exporting to high-res .pdf
by Kat Tanaka Okopnik 21 May '07

21 May '07

I notice that while Inkscape offers a "save to .pdf" option, there's no way to specify dpi. I'd like to be able to have 300dpi .pdf images. What workarounds are available? -- Kat Tanaka Okopnik Linux Gazette Mailbag Editor kat@...2161...
