Printing revisited.
by Thetargos 28 May '06

28 May '06

Recently we had a discussion in the Fedora Marketing mailing list about color management and accuracy in Inkscape, and this discussion touched several topics like the lack of true CMYK support, not Inkscape's fault, but the format's; and other color accuracy topics including color profiling with ICC and other stuff. By looking at the SVG site over at the www.w3c.orgsite, I noticed there was a proposed spec for SVG for printing, which would be called SVGP, and if I understood correctly it would be a subset of SVG 1.2 spec with some additional features with printed media specifically in mind. My questions to the list, actually is if this is going to be supported by Inkscape, and if the developers know a time frame when we could expect to have the first implementation of the spec? In the mean time, what method do you recommend for producing printed material off Inkscape's designs? Being that currently there is no conversion table or color management with ICC (or not that I am aware of) and the issue of color accuracy, which is a major problem for a lot of people. Some one over the mailing list proposed EPS and PDF, but if further manipulation is required, how can these formats be easily manipulated? Unless you had the original SVG that originated these other files it would be impossible... Anyhow, how are people making printed materials with Inkscape doing it? Thanks in advance!

Hi! Can anybody give me an example how to access objects in an open document via the perl interface? Is it possible to get the bounding boxes? Cordially, Axel

0.44: Shift+middle button drag pans, does not zoom in
by Jean-François Lemaire 27 May '06

27 May '06

Hello, I see in the release notes for Inkscape 0.44 that Shift+middle button drag should zoom into the canvas, but here it does exactly the same as middle button drag: panning. And yes, both my Shift keys are working fine :-) JFL -- Jean-François Lemaire

This reminds me of an idea that could be recycled: Electronic circuits as blocks. Fit all of your compenents to the same sized invisable square. Draw the connections to the midpoint of the sides of the squares. Then when compenents are placed against each other, they connect. Of course, this is only suitable for simple circuits, but it would be possible for a program to analyze the SVG file and interpret the circuit, possibly even generating Javascript for a suitable viewer to simulate the the operation. -- _______________________________________________ Search for businesses by name, location, or phone number. -Lycos Yellow Pages http://r.lycos.com/r/yp_emailfooter/http://yellowpages.lycos.com/default.as…

Inkscape on Windows
by Peter Hillier-Brook 26 May '06

26 May '06

I recently had to remove a virus (actually hundreds) from a friend's machine by kicking his hard disc back to the stone age. As I'm not yet able to convince him of the merits of Linux, I had to re-install Windows ME and I thought it would be good to introduce him to Inkscape. As is probably well known to everyone other than me, this is apparently not possible because of GTK+ requirements and the installation failed. However it didn't fail tidily and the first indication that something was wrong was when I tried to start the apparently installed application. Obviously I needed to un-install the package, but couldn't do it easily because there was no entry in the Control Panel|Add or Remove Programs table. In consequence I had to clear the Inkscape components manually, including the Registry. If some versions of Windows are not supported I would have expected the Windows installer to check its environment before creating directories, Registry entries, Icons etc.? Do I need to raise a bug, or is this issue already known? Peter HB

Now the > "problem" I have is that I don't quite understand what the "adjust distance" > attribute of the grid does and to what value set that. Any help will be > appreciated. I've recently been using Inkscape for schematics / block diagrams, which involved a lot of grid work. It sounds like you are referring to the "Snap distance" field on the "Grid" tab of the Document Preferences. As far as I have found, this value is the maximum distance the cursor must be from a grid point before it will snap there. e.g. if you have a 1x1mm grid, and snap distance is set to 0.25mm, then if you have the cursor in the centre of that grid square, it will not snap anywhere. To make sure the cursor will always snap to the nearest grid point, snap distance should be at half of the grid spacing value. (It doesn't seem to make any difference if it is larger, so I just set all three values to the same). Also, for schematic work, I have found that it is best to turn off the "Snap bounding boxes to grid" option, because with this on, horizontal and vertical lines will snap in three ways: first one edge will snap to the grid, then its centre line, and then the other edge.
