Additive color mixing of transparent objects?
by Esben Jannik Bjerrum 21 Mar '07

21 Mar '07

Hi Can someone clarify the mixing of colors of transparent objects for me? Is it possible to use additive mixing of transparent objects. Im not sure if I use the correct terminology, but I mean like mixing colored light and not colored paint, so that a green transparent object overlaying a red one will be yellow and not brownish? Or do this exceed the SVG format? The mixing seem to be somewhere in between the two possibilites?

Patterns from Inkscape into the GIMP
by anna haigh 21 Mar '07

21 Mar '07

I've been creating "Patterns" in Inkscape, but when I open the SVG file in The GIMP, the patterns are not visible. I wondered if anyone knows why this is or if there is anything I should be doing to the pattern first, before trying to open in the GIMP. My aim is infact to turn my image into a JPG eventually, but I seem to lose quality if I export as Bitmap first.Any suggestions?Thanks, Anna

Re: [Inkscape-user] Drawing a path with Mass
by Tony Vigil 21 Mar '07

Bryce, I was wondering about something similar today regarding the calligraphy tool vs the other path tools (freehand and bezier). Couldn't a calligraphy simulation be programmed that uses existing path and nodes from the other tools with a time:length ratio along the path to derive the speed of the simulated calligraphy motion? - Tony ----- Original Message ---- From: Bryce Harrington <bryce@...983...> On Tue, Mar 20, 2007 at 12:05:35AM -0700, microUgly wrote: > I really like the effect of "Mass" on the Caligraphy tool, and I'd love to > see the feature on Pencil tool also. Due to how SVG requires paths to be done, I'd be doubtful that this could be done with Pencil, but it sounds like you've got the seed of a good idea for a new kind of tool, although I'd wonder if the calligraphy tool could be modified to have a "pencil-like" mode. > Until then (hint) does anyone have any clever tricks to help me freehand > draw a smooth path? > > The best I've thought of (and it's not very good) is to use the Caligraphy > tool freehand draw a closed shape, tediously place objects to fill it, then > "union" them to create one solid shape that I can apply a stroke to. There is now a 'bucket fill' feature in latest Inkscape dev SVN, which works amazingly well for this. > I really don't think you can use the pencil tool practically with a tablet. > It's usable when combined with simplify but even then the results are > unpredictable and can require a lot of manual manipulation. That's too bad - make sure bugs are entered on these issues in the bug tracker (they probably already are, but never hurts to have someone confirm and add info). Bryce

Proposal Community Local Inkscape
by ValessioBrito 20 Mar '07

20 Mar '07

It would like to know the opinion of all, on the personalization of the Inkscape "local". To create local communities, To translate, To register and To divulge the Inkscape. Some details to stimulate the local production, "about.local.svg" is the competition for choice of local Splash[1]. I folloied the translation of Inkscape 0,45, I found not this very motivated. Also the local documentation. Here in Brazil we are solving this problem mounting the community www.InkscapeBrasil.org, with a local list of quarrel. Some users contribute direct to the Inkscape, other contributions pass for the local community. [1]: Example, http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/51179868/ -- .ValessioBrito ://valessio.ul-jb.org/

Modify clipping object without releasing the clip
by microUgly 20 Mar '07

Is it possible to modify a clipping or masking object without releasing it? I know how to edit the objects that are clipped/masked, just not the object that does clipping/masking.

Easy way to push attributes up?
by Jeffrey Brent McBeth 20 Mar '07

20 Mar '07

Is there any easy way to push attributes up the heirarchy? Say I have 20 objects in a group that all are drawn with the same stroke-fill-etc, and I would like the group to now have those attributes (so the underlings all inheret them instead of have them explicitly). Is there any way to ask inkscape to push these common attributes up the ladder? Also, one big deal with GTK+ used to be the ability to key bind anything in an appliction. I can't find how to assign a keybinding to the "Delete Node" button in the XML-Editor (my favorite place to live in this app) Jeff -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hofstadter's Law states: It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
