by Cornel Ghiban 15 May '06

Hi, Is there a manual for scripting inkscape with python? Tried to find it but nothing so far. Also can this be done: Having a lot of (small) eps files, open each one in turn, copy/extract all objects to a master document at a certain position, close file etc, and finaly save master document? Thanks, -- Cornel

Hello All, I recently installed Inscape on a Win2000 machine and it ran well; however, when I tried to run one of the more recent development versions I got the following error message. "The procedure entry point FreeAddrInfoW could not be located in the dynamic link library WS2_32.dll." Can anyone help with this? Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Win2000-Error-t1606200.html#a4354847 Sent from the Inkscape - User forum at Nabble.com.

Rectangle Shape: Not Rounded, but 2 white dots are not in Upper Right Corner
by unknown＠example.com 11 May '06

I think i have to re-read your message, j, but before that I'll pass another email to you. If we just look at the rectangle and it's white dots, shouldn't we say that if the rectangle has a certain shape when the dots are in a certain place at one time, the rectangle should always have that same shape in other times?

inkscape bucket fill?
by j michaelson 11 May '06

11 May '06

hello everyone, i've been dabbling with svg cartoons. i've been scanning black and white line drawings and converting them to svgs with the trace bitmap tool. i then colour them in by drawing blocks of colour and lowering them behind the outline. this is an incredibly time consuming way of doing things and i was wondering if there is a quicker way of doing it that i'm missing. i've tried exporting to a bitmap, using the gimp to bucket fill the gaps and then tracing it back to an svg again, but it's not the most elegant way of working. is there some kind of tool in inkscape equivalent to the bucket fill tool in gimp? thanks. john michaelson.

Inkscape not Recognizing Fonts
by D. Jones 10 May '06

10 May '06

How do i make Inkscape display my system fonts on a Windows XP SP2 system? The system fonts show up in the text font dialog, but when I go to apply the font inkscape resorts back to my default. Is there a way to make it adhere to the font that I want it to use? --------------------------------- Yahoo! Messenger with Voice.

Rectangle Shape: Not Rounded, but 2 white dots are not in Upper Right Corner
by unknown＠example.com 09 May '06

i'm doing the Tutorial Shapes.and I'm working on the blue rectangle. it's a perfect angular rectangle. A white dot appears in the upper right corner. I drag it down. The rectangle 's corners get rounded.We now can see another white dot in upper right corner. I drag it to the left. Rectangle's shape changes further. I drag this same dot (on the top part of rectangle) back to the corner. And i'm surprised to see that it has become a prefect rectangle again i thought it could only be a perfect (angular) rectangle if the two white dots are in the upper-right corner. It gets even stranger. I play around with the up-and-down white dot (the dot on the right side of the rectangle). Dragging it up or down doesn't change the shape of the now not-rounded rectangle.

New Feature: View Rotation
by Aaron Digulla 09 May '06

09 May '06

Hello, An idea just struck me: A View Rotation Tool Depending on the angle, stokes are more or less difficult. We all know the effect: Drawing a freehand circle. One part is ok, the rest is ... well ... So I propose to add a tool to rotate the view to any angle. This way, we can work with the perfect angle (just as on paper). The tool should be a small circle in the bottom bar. Clicking it turns the image upright. Drag left - Rotate clockwise, drag right - rotate the other way. Always rotate around the center of the visible area. Regards, -- Aaron "Optimizer" Digulla a.k.a. Philmann Dark "It's not the universe that's limited, it's our imagination.
