how can one control the export bitmap quality
by Albert 22 Aug '06

22 Aug '06

I've made a poster of 5000 x 8000 pixels (the canvas in document preferences). I would to print it as is, without losing one single pixel of resolution of the images I've stitched into the poster. I would appreciate some clarifications: - How is one to print the poster now at maximum quality? - Can I choose to export to eps? I did that two weeks ago in an ubuntu-dapper machine, but now in this kubuntu-dapper laptop I can't see how to export to eps from the Inkscape's menus. - How can one control the quality of the saved .png when exporting a bitmap? How does the '90' DPI default resolution in inkscape preferences relate to this? Thanks for any insights. Albert

Graded fills in EPS figures
by Chris de Villiers 21 Aug '06

21 Aug '06

Hi I understand that, in order to be able to render graded objects correctly when used as EPS files (e.g., in LaTex, GsView etc.), I have to remove transparency and use two different colours for the grading. How do I do this? Also, why does an EPS figure created by Adobe Illustrator not have this problem? I'm using Inkscape 0.44. Thanks.

Why does Inkscape not recognize my Type1-Fonts (installed in Windows\Fonts and gs\fonts) and let me use it? It just shows me my TrueTypeFonts?! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Type1-Fonts--tf2128876.html#a5875142 Sent from the Inkscape - User forum at Nabble.com.

Remove unecessary nodes from path
by Aaron Digulla 18 Aug '06

18 Aug '06

Hello, "Simplify path" has the disadvamtage that it cuts so many nodes away that the new path looks different. Is it possible to get a second version of that command which tries to remove as many nodes as possible without changing the shape? Maybe using the new node-delete which also tries to preserve the node shape. Regards, -- Aaron "Optimizer" Digulla a.k.a. Philmann Dark "It's not the universe that's limited, it's our imagination.

Site Testimonials?
by Matt Townsend 17 Aug '06

17 Aug '06

Fellow Scribus and Inkscape users, I've been pondering how people may be drawn more actively to open source software, and it has occurred to me that the approach to convert closed-source lifers with “human-friendly” messages is working quite well for the Ubuntu folks. Giants like Adobe and Redmond have long since forgotten that people are the goal, so the environment is ripe to reach discontented masses. Letting them know about our experiences could help. What do you all think about sharing testimonials about Inkscape and Scribus – talking about how these programs, along with The GIMP, have helped your studies, career, et cetera? Because Scribus and Inkscape are two of my favourite apps, I would be happy to receive, edit and process such testimonials and then turn them over to whomever would care to publish them (preferably Scribus and Inkscape site maintainers). Let me know what you think. If I'm daft and there's already such a place, please let me know that, too. Matt Townsend Ubuntu 6.06 User matthewdtownsend@...1980...

Tracing comics
by Aaron Digulla 17 Aug '06

17 Aug '06

Hello, I have an image with relatively few colors (32) but only about eight of them are really used. It's a comic-style drawing, so there are many, large color areas. The rest of the colors is used to antialias between these 8 colors. When I try to trace this image with multi-scan/color, I get paths with a large number of nodes (roughly 6000 per color). These cannot be reduced because the colors immediately start to leak. One of the problems is a red blob at the bottom of the image. Without stacking, the result is not very good. With stacking, I get an insane red path behind all the rest of the image! Therefore, I'd like to discuss these optimizations: 1. First find out which color is used how often. Then for tracing, sort the colors from least to most used. This way, seldom used colors will only need small paths. Even better, if colors don't overlap (just do a simple bounding box check), handle them as one layer. 2. First, create one path which contains all the black parts of the image. Then, while looking for other colors, ignore the black pixels. Instead, while searching, simply go on as if the black pixel had the same color as the non-black pixel you just came from. Only remember the position of the last non-black pixel. When you hit the next non-black pixel, compare it with the last one. If they are equal, connect the two (as if there was no black between). If they are not, use the stored position as the border. Finally, after all colors have been traces, overlay the group with the black trace. This should give much better results for comics because the black lines cut the other colors into very many small areas. Maybe the "foreground" color should be configurable to allow to do the same with images which use white lines, etc. Regards, -- Aaron "Optimizer" Digulla a.k.a.

Greetings, I have a HPphotosmart 1315 printer with XP. I only get the 115 meg print file no matter what way I save it.... Is there a patch yet or a work around.... this is a great program, but this large print spool bug is stopping this in it's tracks for me.
