error with pdf: a resource is missing
by Marco A. S. Netto 17 Jul '06

Hello all, I'm using inkscape to create some pdf pictures to include in my latex documents. When I use some figures from openclipart in my documents, for example, people/people_juliane_krug_08c.svg I receive the following message from acroread: "A resource is missing". I've never seen this problem before. Does anybody have any idea?

Go figure.

I downloaded the stable tarball to my Slackware system and immediately ran into compile problems. So on a hunch I downloaded Inkscape-current and it compiled like a champ. I had previously downloaded/installed the Freerock gnome package. Slack no longer contains Gnome. BTW it still doesn't work: --------------------------------------- *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x0865ebc0 *** Emergency save activated! Emergency save completed. Inkscape will close now. If you can reproduce this crash, please file a bug at www.inkscape.org with a detailed description of the steps leading to the crash, so we can fix it. ----------------------------------------- I am thinking of adding another partition just to get a working Inkscape.

When incorporating an Inkscape drawing in a printable document wihich will be in pdf form, is the best choice to save the drawing also as pdf? When saving an Inkscape drawing in pdf form is the drawing still a vector drawing or does it get translated to bitmap? -- John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost.

BUG in coordinate system (v0.44)
by Wolfgang 13 Jul '06

13 Jul '06

Hi, I'm quite new to Inkscape but I the coordinate system handling is not getting clear to me, and I believe there must be a bug. Basically I'm getting started by transformation of a shapefile to svg the important part is (one point to keep it simple): <g inkscape:label="Ebene 1" inkscape:groupmode="layer" id="layer1"> <g id="villages1"> <circle r="0.01009" cy="-20.87945" cx="101.33645" id="villages1_B_Chaloen_Suk" sodipodi:cx="101.33645" sodipodi:cy="-20.87945" sodipodi:rx="0.01009" sodipodi:ry="0.01009" /> </g> </g> The -20.87945 is from conversion, the real coordinate is 20.87945 Degree north and 101.33645 degree east. My full file is (more or less directly after import): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>  <svg xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:cc="http://web.resource.org/cc/" xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:sodipodi="http://sodipodi.sourceforge.net/DTD/sodipodi-0.dtd" xmlns:inkscape="http://www.inkscape.org/namespaces/inkscape" width="100" height="100" id="svg2" sodipodi:version="0.32" inkscape:version="0.44" version="1.0" sodipodi:docbase="C:\Documents and Settings\s0167070\Desktop" sodipodi:docname="test.svg"> <defs id="defs4" /> <sodipodi:namedview id="base" pagecolor="#ffffff" bordercolor="#666666" borderopacity="1.0" inkscape:pageopacity="0.0" inkscape:pageshadow="2" inkscape:zoom="14.481547" inkscape:cx="10.67134" inkscape:cy="16.69171" inkscape:document-units="px" inkscape:current-layer="layer1" width="100" height="100" units="px" inkscape:window-width="1280" inkscape:window-height="751" inkscape:window-x="-4" inkscape:window-y="-4" /> <metadata id="metadata7"> <rdf:RDF> <cc:Work rdf:about=""> <dc:format>image/svg+xml</dc:format> <dc:type rdf:resource="http://purl.org/dc/dcmitype/StillImage" /> </cc:Work> </rdf:RDF> </metadata> <g inkscape:label="Ebene 1" inkscape:groupmode="layer" id="layer1"> <g id="villages1"> <circle r="0.01009" cy="-20.87945" cx="101.33645" id="villages1_B_Chaloen_Suk" sodipodi:cx="101.33645" sodipodi:cy="-20.87945" sodipodi:rx="0.01009" sodipodi:ry="0.01009" /> </g> </g> </svg> But the point is displayed at approx 101,120 so 100 px too high. Changing cy from -20.87945 to +20.... shifts the point to 101,79.1.. (reading from Inkscape properties). I assume the coordinate system starts above paper size?! Next thing is that I want to shift the canvas origin from 0,0 to 0,100. Therefore I've added manually x="0 y="100" to the file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>  <svg xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:cc="http://web.resource.org/cc/" xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:sodipodi="http://sodipodi.sourceforge.net/DTD/sodipodi-0.dtd" xmlns:inkscape="http://www.inkscape.org/namespaces/inkscape" x="0" y="100" width="100" height="100" id="svg2" sodipodi:version="0.32" inkscape:version="0.44" version="1.0" sodipodi:docbase="C:\Documents and Settings\s0167070\Desktop" sodipodi:docname="test.svg"> <defs id="defs4" /> <sodipodi:namedview id="base" pagecolor="#ffffff" bordercolor="#666666" borderopacity="1.0" inkscape:pageopacity="0.0" inkscape:pageshadow="2" inkscape:zoom="14.481547" inkscape:cx="10.67134" inkscape:cy="16.69171" inkscape:document-units="px" inkscape:current-layer="layer1" x="0" y="100" width="100" height="100" units="px" inkscape:window-width="1280" inkscape:window-height="751" inkscape:window-x="-4" inkscape:window-y="-4" /> <metadata id="metadata7"> <rdf:RDF> <cc:Work rdf:about=""> <dc:format>image/svg+xml</dc:format> <dc:type rdf:resource="http://purl.org/dc/dcmitype/StillImage" /> </cc:Work> </rdf:RDF> </metadata> <g inkscape:label="Ebene 1" inkscape:groupmode="layer" id="layer1"> <g id="villages1"> <circle r="0.01009" cy="-20.87945" cx="101.33645" id="villages1_B_Chaloen_Suk" sodipodi:cx="101.33645" sodipodi:cy="-20.87945" sodipodi:rx="0.01009" sodipodi:ry="0.01009" /> </g> </g> </svg> But this doesnt change anything at all!!! The point is still displayed at 101,120. And I assume the x,y statement is valid. It gets even more strange if you put an additional <svg width="100" height="100"> ... </svg> statement around the last example: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>  <svg width="100" height="100"> <svg xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:cc="http://web.resource.org/cc/" xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:sodipodi="http://sodipodi.sourceforge.net/DTD/sodipodi-0.dtd" xmlns:inkscape="http://www.inkscape.org/namespaces/inkscape" x="0" y="100" width="100" height="100" id="svg2" sodipodi:version="0.32" inkscape:version="0.44" version="1.0" sodipodi:docbase="C:\Documents and Settings\s0167070\Desktop" sodipodi:docname="test.svg"> <defs id="defs4" /> <sodipodi:namedview id="base" pagecolor="#ffffff" bordercolor="#666666" borderopacity="1.0" inkscape:pageopacity="0.0" inkscape:pageshadow="2" inkscape:zoom="14.481547" inkscape:cx="10.67134" inkscape:cy="16.69171" inkscape:document-units="px" inkscape:current-layer="layer1" x="0" y="100" width="100" height="100" units="px" inkscape:window-width="1280" inkscape:window-height="751" inkscape:window-x="-4" inkscape:window-y="-4" /> <metadata id="metadata7"> <rdf:RDF> <cc:Work rdf:about=""> <dc:format>image/svg+xml</dc:format> <dc:type rdf:resource="http://purl.org/dc/dcmitype/StillImage" /> </cc:Work> </rdf:RDF> </metadata> <g inkscape:label="Ebene 1" inkscape:groupmode="layer" id="layer1"> <g id="villages1"> <circle r="0.01009" cy="-20.87945" cx="101.33645" id="villages1_B_Chaloen_Suk" sodipodi:cx="101.33645" sodipodi:cy="-20.87945" sodipodi:rx="0.01009" sodipodi:ry="0.01009" /> </g> </g> </svg> </svg> Now the point is displayed at 101,-79.1 ! I dont understand why this should be correct! Especially as only the y coordinate is influenced. I really hope that somebody can explain me how I can move my image canvas so that it fits over my local coordinate system. Thanks Wolfgang

global unit system and transformation
by Wolfgang 13 Jul '06

13 Jul '06

Hi all, I've just started to use inkscape a few days ago to draw a map. But for this I would like to have a user defined coordinate system as my country outline is in "degree". It would be really nice if I could use the geographic grid (ie. for adding point symbols at 19°N, 101°E). But I would need to set somewhere a global transformation to map that system onto the drawing area: 1° equals 3cm on paper, and the origin of the paper =18°N,99E for example. Perhaps something like that is already included and I only couldn't find it? Thanks Wolfgang

import svg file by reference
by Chris Bare 13 Jul '06

13 Jul '06

When I import a jpg or png, the svg file contains an external reference to that file. When I import an svg, the file is merged inline. Is there a way to tell inkscape to import the svg by reference instead? I'd like to be able to edit several sub files independent of a master file. -- Chris Bare chris@...1958...

save as PDF loses jpegs & bitmaps
by Werner van Staden 13 Jul '06

13 Jul '06

I upgraded to 0.44 (using svn) for the enhanced transparency handling but - altho' I do get vector graphics retaining their transparency when saving to PDF - I am now losing all .png .jpg and bitmaps. They don't show up at all. ldd /bin/inkscape shows that all dependencies are met on my Ubuntu Dapper box running kernel 2.6.15. Am I missing something simple or is this a bug?

Coordinates all different
by Fred Labrosse 11 Jul '06

11 Jul '06

All, I just created a document using inkscape to layout objects of which I known the position in real space. Because some of these positions are negative, I specified an offset in the origin of the grid so that the grid point (0,0) is not the bottom left corner of the document. So far so good. Once the whole layout has been created, I now would like to know the position of other objects on there (middle points and such). This position is given by the rulers although at the precision of the reading of the ruler. However, the other ways of getting positions (little box at the bottom right of the application window or boxes in one of the toolbars) give the position in the document's references ((0,0) at bottom left), not in the grid's. Did I miss anything or is that a bug (or a feature that could possibly be configurable to offer alternatives)? Cheers, Fred
