EPS Transparency support
by Nava Whiteford 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

Hi, I've been encountering the problems caused by eps's lack of tranparency support quite a lot lately. The problem (and some work arounds) are described here: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=38244491 The best option appears to be outputing a pdf and using acroread to convert it to an eps, this then "flattens" the tranparencies, while keeping them in vector format. I was wondering if anyone else had a better (and open source) solution to this problem? If I wanted to investigate adding support for transparency flattening to inkscape where would I start? Does inkscape export to eps natively or is an external tool used? Many Thanks, nw --

Hiding/showing layers via command line?
by sness 28 Feb '07

28 Feb '07

Hi, Is there any way to hide and show layers in a Inkscape document with command line arguments before saving? I have an image that has buttons for a webpage, and on different layers there are the normal, selected and rollover versions of the buttons. I have a nice script to automatically output the buttons with command line options, but right now I have to go into the GUI, select the different layers, and run my script. It's not that much work, but I thought it would be neato if I could do all this from the command line. thank you, sness.

Include article on a magazine (some months old)
by Juan Miguel Ramirez 26 Feb '07

26 Feb '07

I had been very busy and I forgot to say that in the OLD number 19 of Spanish version of Linux Magazine I wrote about Inkscape 0.44. I wrote about the new (on inkscape 0.44) features and some inkscape's examples logotypes made by me and Included an Illustration from Andy Fitzimon at the header of the first page (He gave me permission). There is a PDF online (on spanish only): http://www.linux-magazine.es/issue/19/Inkscape.pdf I am sorry about the delay. If someone wants the .svg of all the graphics only have to write me :D

how to including a form in a clone set
by unknown＠example.com 25 Feb '07

25 Feb '07

How can i link a form to a clone set? If I want to unlink somethink I just go ctrl+alt+D (windows XP) Can go back from there relinking it? - how can i include a new form in the clone set? (I know i did once but I don't know how did I get there) basically I was modifying a set of clones through the main form, suddenly i decide to make a star on top of the clone master and the star was in all the clones as well and whatever i drew I could get the same in all clones. unfortunately I lost that file and I do not know how I did activate such a function. thanks kirk --------------------------------- L'email della prossima generazione?

Un-uninstallation?
by Garth Ogle 25 Feb '07

25 Feb '07

Inkscape by default saves stuff in the /inkscape dir. When I installed .45 it obliterated (I assumed it would leave whatever files were there) all of my work in the Inkscape Dir when it unistalled .44!! Is there -any- way to undo this? I may have to go into a period of grieving, here. (Lost about 15-20 fairly complex svgs and pngs.) Help is appreciated. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Un-uninstallation--tf3276847.html#a9112926

Hello, I'm looking for a way to recreate the following image: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Pen0305c.gif Is there an easy way to create Penrose tiles while using coloured strokes? If not, what would be the least painful way to do it? ;) Much thanks in advance, Kyungjoon Lee

NEW: smoother panning and scrolling
by bulia byak 24 Feb '07

24 Feb '07

Several improvements make canvas panning and scrolling smoother and more interactive in complex slow-rendering documents: * When panning by the middle mouse button, Inkscape no longer attempts to redraw the canvas while your mouse button is pressed. Any redrawing only happens after you release the mouse. As a result, the newly revealed parts of the canvas are somewhat more "dirty" but the panning is smoother than before, with few if any "hiccups". * Previously, if you start panning with middle button while Inkscape is still redrawing screen in a complex drawing, panning sometimes completely failed or moved canvas just a little step. Now it is guaranteed to pan the canvas all the way from mouse-press point to mouse-release point in any case, even if sometimes it fails to show the intermediate positions. * When pressing and holding Ctrl+arrows to scroll canvas, Inkscape normally accelerates scrolling so that each next scrolling step is bigger than the previous. Previously, in complex drawings this acceleration sometimes got interrupted, which made scrolling annoyingly bumpy and slow. Now this is fixed so that scrolling is smoothly accelerated even in a slow-rendering document. * The default starting speed and acceleration of Ctrl+arrows scrolling are slightly increased. (They are both settable in Preferences.) -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

Inkscape on Mac, and WACOM Graphire 4
by Alberto Simões 23 Feb '07

23 Feb '07

Hi I bought a Wacom Graphire 4 classic tablet and I can use it directly on inkscape, as expected, as a normal mouse/pointer. I noticed Inkscape has an 'Input Devices' entry on the File menu, but it says there aren't special input devices available. Is this usual? Cheers Alberto -- Alberto Simões
