Would someone remind me. when you create a text, instead of a single click, click and drag, so that it will have a size to start with. then, when you select the text box again and choose the edit tool (F2) you'll be able to resize the text area dragging a sort of 'node'. whas that it? malcolm > > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Print Margins
by Michael Pope 05 May '06

05 May '06

I'm running inkscape 0.43_1 on FreeBSD 5.4 & when I go and print it will not display a config box where I can set margins. Is there anyway to set margins when printing through inkscape? I can set some options if I use Print Direct. I'm not using CUPS because that crashes gnome ports (which includes inkscape as it requires libgnomeprint). The only way I can print correctly with margins at the moment is to export each picture I want to a image and use another program to print it correctly. This is annoying. Michael Pope

new path tool?
by j michaelson 05 May '06

05 May '06

hello, i've been using inkscape to colour in cartoons. i've been doing this by drawing a block of colour behind the outline, select both and use the path division tool to seperate the excess colour from the bit i want to keep. the problem is that the division tool cuts the outline down to fit the colour. i've had to duplicate the outline first and use that to do the division, then clean up the remnants of the duplicated outline. this is obviously a slow and painful way of working. what i need is a path tool that does the division thing on the lower vector (the colour) without affecting the upper vector (the outline). is there such a path tool? if not, would it be hard to implement? maybe it could be done with a script or something? thanks. john michaelson.

keeping configuration of straight lines
by Marco A. S. Netto 04 May '06

04 May '06

Hi, I'm trying to draw a set of blue straight lines with arrows but I don't know how to keep the configurations of my lines. That is: To make a blue straight line with an arrow I create a line and after I use the fill and stroke window to set the arrow and the color of my line. After this and I try to draw my second line, so I have to set the arrow and the color again... So, I'd like to draw the following lines with the same configuration of my last one. Is it possible? When I draw rectangles inkscape keeps the last configuration. I'm using inkscape 0.43. Thanks, Marco

The irony abounds. I got a bounce like this on Sunday, when I attempted to cast a "yes" vote for restricting the inkscape-user list to members only. > <inkscape-user(a)lists.sourceforge.net>: > 66.35.250.206 does not like recipient. > Remote host said: 550-Postmaster verification failed while checking <george@...634...> > 550-Called: 205.158.62.206 > 550-Sent: RCPT TO:<postmaster@...634...> > 550-Response: 550 <postmaster@...634...>: User unknown > 550-Several RFCs state that you are required to have a postmaster > 550-mailbox for each mail domain.

linear transparency in bitmap patterns. Is it possible?
by Gilberto 01 May '06

01 May '06

Is it possible to change the transparency of one part of the bitmap more than the other part? You see this effect a lot, that the transparency is like a gradient. For instance, look at the mirrored text in the following image: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/teams/art.gnome.org/themes/splash_screens/Sp… Of course, this image can easily be done in Inkscape, given that the font is available. But imagine that the mirrored word 'gnome' is available as bitmap only. That can't be done easily, because you cannot change the transparency as a gradient. At least as far a I could figure out. Or maybe I am missing something. Any suggestions?
