Projective Transform
by Jeffrey Brent McBeth 04 Mar '06

04 Mar '06

Is there any way to do a projective transform in Inkscape right now? Affine is fine and all, but I have a drawing I really want to apply keystoning to, and well..

troubles with printing
by unknown＠example.com 02 Mar '06

02 Mar '06

Hello everybody, I'm using Inkscape (0.43) on Gentoo (2005.1) and experiencing follwing troubles with printing: a) can't get any print dialog (it does direct printig instead); b) does not print text (everything elese is printed well). I'm using CUPS for printing. This behaviour is independent of the desktop environment I use (KDE, Gnome or Enlightenment-0.17). Does anybody have an idea why does that happen and how to fix that? Any help would be very appreciated. Darius ___________________________________________________ Try the New Netscape Mail Today!

funny Circle setting
by stu seven-2 01 Mar '06

01 Mar '06

...I've been using Inkscape more as I learn more about it... one feature I have not yet learned to use involves Inkscape's saving of drawing settings... when I use the CIRCLE/Ellipse tool this will often "stick" on a setting, giving me only segments of a circle, with bold radii... I've now learned to "fix" this, but only by random messing with the handles, and rebooting. Is there a menu item, for instance, where we can "draw full circles" only, or something similar ? Thanks / Inkscape rocks ! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/funny-Circle-setting-t1201979.html#a3172563 Sent from the Inkscape - User forum at Nabble.com.

Once I use a lot of objects inkscape is too slow
by Ladislav Andel 28 Feb '06

28 Feb '06

Hi, Firstly, Thank you for this open source project. I've just started using this software but came across problem when I have a lot of objects in one window. It becomes very slow and then not usable if I compare the acceleration with eg. Corel Draw. In Corel Draw on WinXP I have the same amount of objects and it's fine but inkscape's slows down rapidly. I have processor Sempron 2800+ and NVidia FX5200 graphic card running on Knoppix. Is there any way how to make it inkscape working faster? Some kind of acceleration, something like directx for linux? Maybe recompiling the kernel properly? I didn't have time for this yet though. I'm quite new to linux too. Hopefully somebody has an answer for me.. Thank you. Ladislav

Autopackage: dependence on libcairo.so.2
by Norbert Nemec 27 Feb '06

27 Feb '06

Hi there, I'm usually working at a workstation at university which is centrally administered, so I'm really thankful for the Inkscape autopackages that allow me to use the development version without much installation hassle. However the latest autopackage 20062270113 seems to depend on libcairo.so.2 which is not installed. Our machines contain a nearly clean and fairly complete Debian stable, so I think this dependence should generally be avoided in the autopackage.

Bug in layers
by Aaron Digulla 27 Feb '06

27 Feb '06

Hello, There is a bug in the layers code when loading an SVG document with a single group (g element) and adding layers to it. In this case, Inkscape will sometimes show "Root" as a layer and when I move objects between the layers, they get sometimes lost. I even had the effect that I moved six elements and afterwards, three were in the layer and three were gone. A couple of undos usually get the objects back. I'd propose that you create a new artificial layer when a document has none and the user adds one (ie. after adding the first layer, the user will have two layers). Alternatively, move all objects into the first created layer. Or, even better, realize layers with classes. Since an object can be in several classes (you have to separate the class names with blanks, I think), objects could be in several layers at once. Regards, -- Aaron "Optimizer" Digulla a.k.a.

Box around text when exported as EPS
by Krishna Ramamurthy 27 Feb '06

27 Feb '06

I'm trying to convert a bitmap of a logo to vector. Trace did a pretty good job, but some of the font serifs weren't quite right so I kept the rest of the image and then recreated the text using the text facility in Inkscape. It all looks fine, but when I export to EPS and then place that into pagemaker, etc. I'm left with a box around the text I created. If I take the SVG file and open it in Illustrator it's fine. If I save as EPS in Illustrator, it's fine. Is this a bug in the EPS export facility in Inkscape or am I doing something wrong? The files are here: http://www.dppi.org.uk/images/DPPILogo.svg http://www.dppi.org.uk/images/DPPILogo.eps Thanks in advance.
