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/.

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. The primary conference language is English; translation facilities will be available to encourage English-Japanese communication. We invite all those interested in presenting a paper, or teaching a course to prepare your proposals now. Presenting a Paper Presenters are asked to submit an extended abstract, in English or Japanese, (approx. 400 to 800 words) by June 1, 2007 in XHTML 1.1 format. The abstracts are reviewed by a reviewing committee and presenters will be informed about acceptance on or before June 21, 2007. If your abstract is accepted, then you will be asked to submit your full paper by August 1, 2007, according to instructions that will be sent to you. Accepted abstracts, papers and presentations will be published on the conference CD and Web proceedings. Presentation Format Presentations can take one of two formats: * Regular Presentation: Spaced 30 minutes apart on the schedule, with approximately 20 minutes spent on the presentation, 5 minutes for questions, and 5 minutes for people to change rooms. Most presentations will be in this format. * Panel Discussion: Given 60-minute time slots, with approximately 15 minutes spent on introducing the panelists and agenda, 40 minutes of questions and discussion, and 5 minutes for people to change rooms. 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.

The outlines are reviewed by a reviewing committee and instructors informed about acceptance on or before June 21, 2007. Accepted course outlines will be published as course descriptions in the program. Therefore they should be directed at those who might register for the course rather than the reviewers. Courses are 150 minutes in length, scheduled in three time slots: morning and afternoon of September 4, 2007. We are interested in proposals for both beginner courses and advanced courses, to cater to the diverse interests of all conference attendees. Here is a list of topics of potential interest for courses.

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...

Outline markers (arrow heads) and colour
by Donn 21 May '07

21 May '07

Hiya, Check the FAQ (hope I didn't miss it). Is there any way to colour the 'markers' on lines? They are always black - from what I can see. I want a red line and a red arrow-head on the end. /d

Re: [Inkscape-user] [Inkscape-devel] In praise of Inkscape
by Albert Cardona 21 May '07

21 May '07

Some more praise: We use Inkscape to make posters for scientific meetings. The ease with which we can create beautiful, unintrusive text boxes and flow charts is unparalleled. And of course cartoons of all sorts. I can't hardly believe we used to bring in PowerPoint for the task! those nightmarish days are over. Plus, Inkscape intergrates very well with the host OS, i.e. dragging and dropping images and text just works. In this regard, I must mention that exporting to PDF is a big deal. Figuring out the exact dimensions of the poster relative to the final print is some sort of obscure magic for us, simple mortal users. With PDFs, printers (or their drivers) have zero problems to scale on the fly and thus generate perfect maximized print outs of our gigantic posters. What surpises me, though, is that exporting to PDF seems to leave images uncompressed, resulting in 300+ Mb posters. In short: congratulations! And keep at it! We take time to tell our visitors (at the poster, during the conference) how the poster was made, since they usually comment on how beautiful it looks (no kidding). Inkscape, Blender and ImageJ are always mentioned.
