Inkscape window too big under Linux
by Fibonacci Prower 04 Jun '06

04 Jun '06

Hello, I've been using Inkscape on Windows for some time, and everything worked fine. Now that I've switched to Linux, I've noticed that the Inkscape window is bigger than my screen! Resizing doesn't help - it lets me expand the window all I want, but not compress it beyond the default size. Maximising doesn't help either - the window remains at exactly the same size. I'm working at an 800×600 resolution, both in Windows and in Linux. When switching to 1024×768 the problem vanishes. But I can't always work at that resolution - my poor little screen was not designed for such abuse, so I can't distinguish any details at 1024×768. What can I do about this problem? Thanks in advance, -Fibo -- Eye halve a spelling chequer, it came with my pea see It plane lee marques four my revue miss steaks aye can knot sea Eye ran this poem threw it - your shore reel glad two no Its vary polished in it's weigh, my chequer tolled me sew.

Trace Bitmap
by Ezequias Rodrigues da Rocha 03 Jun '06

Hi list, I was testing the trace bitmap and got really impressed. Of course it isn't a Corel Trace, but is the beginning. My congratulations to the dev team. Here is a simple test I did: http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=157359067&size=o The first is a gif (and quite small) image. The second is svg. ;-) Sincerely ... -- Ezequias Rodrigues da Rocha http://ezequiasrocha.blogspot.com msn:ezequias@...9... "the worst of democracies is still better than the best of dictatorship"

NEEDED: Win32 User for testing
by Bryce Harrington 03 Jun '06

03 Jun '06

Hi all, If you are on Windows and and have a little extra time this week, you can help Inkscape out considerably. There are several _bad_ bugs that are going to afflict Windows users of our new Inkscape release, that we may have a decent chance to eliminate. However, unfortunately our developers don't have access to Win32 machines, so cannot easily test their fixes to make sure they've fixed the issues. If you are on Win32, and are comfortable installing and running extremely cutting edge stuff (including running gdb), you can help. We need someone who for the next week or two can install the latest code and test out a few bugs we're working on. This is a great way to contribute to Inkscape and to directly make it better for Windows users, so if you've wanted to do that but felt that your technical skills were a bit light, this may be a perfect opportunity. Email me if you're interested in helping, or contact Jon Cruz by email or IRC, to get started. Bryce

trace bitmap problem
by Hago Ziegler 03 Jun '06

03 Jun '06

Hi, I have Inkscape 0.44 and Inkscape 0.43 installed. ( winXP ) With 0.43 Trace Bitmap works very well, as expected. With 0.44 I never was able to trace a bitmap with the settings Multiple Scanning > Color, or > Monochrome. It seems to work, but never brings a result. Regards, Hago

The autopackage worked perfectly on Ubuntu Linux. It even put the icon in the Applications menu in GNOME. There's also a shortcut to the latest package: http://inkscape.modevia.com/ap/latest.php Yours, Noah

I actually have synfig and have played with it a tad. I haven't gotten my head around how it works yet, so I'm not sure it'll work for me. The demo animation at the site, which I believe was called "Prologue," was nicely done, but very "vector tweeny." I appreciate that synfig takes that route to streamline production for a small, even one-person, staff. I'm just not sure I want to go that route yet. I forgot to mention that I'm on XP for the time being. I'm easing toward switching over to Linux, but there's some inertia there. At any rate, I can't try out Ktoon since it isn't available for Windows yet. One reason why I'm hoping to cobble something together that uses Inkscape is that I've learned how to get a really nice, natural looking ink line in Inkscape. No other software that I've tried, including demos of some of the proprietary stuff, seems to compare. Plus, the workspace in Inkscape, with the appropriate template overlay, looks like an animation board and lends itself well to things like panning a background image - assuming I can solve the precision issue. And for character animation, each stage can obviously be put on its on layer. I just downloaded a program called Monkey Jam to stitch the pngs together into scenes. I'll play with that some next week. Then, of course, I'd assemble the scenes and add sound and so on in a compositor. Anyway, I'm still interested in any ideas and suggestions, and I'll keep you all apprised of my progress in case I do something useful. Thanks again to all who responded. Matt Jordan

Inkscape and animation
by Matt Jordan 01 Jun '06

01 Jun '06

Hi all, I've been using Inkscape for single-panel cartooning for a few months now and have really come to like the program for vector drawing (with a Wacom tablet). I'm now planning to do some cartoon animation and I was wondering if anybody has used Inkscape for this purpose as part of your workflow. I realize that Inkscape isn't set up to do animation in and of itself, but I could see it working really well in conjunction with a sound editor and a compositing tool, compositing a series of png outputs. But I wonder how to do certain things, like panning across a background for instance. I can certainly move an image across the page in Inkscape and output that as a series of pngs, but how would I make sure each incremental move is at the right speed and in the right direction, so the resulting animation is smooth? Has anybody out there done this sort of thing with Inkscape? Is there any sort of onion skinning plug-in or anything like that? Thanks, Matt Jordan PS - I joined the list officially and resent this to speed things up. My apologies if you end up seeing the original come through later.
