NEWBIE: drawing maps ?
by debian 21 Feb '06

21 Feb '06

Please, I am considering the use of Inkscape to draw simple maps. The main problem I see so far is the indication of roads. To do this I need to draw sets of two parallel curves a small distance apart. For rivers I need the same feature, but I need to colour the region between the lines. I also need to create my own objects that I can place anywhere on the map: bridges, canal locks, compass points etc. But I get the impression this is quite easy. How can I go about this ? Thanks Joe Mc Cool

Yes, this is definitely within terms of the license, and we would be quite happy for you to do this. > If you need any other information concerning the publication please let > me know. > I am looking forward to hearing from you.

multiple (or multi-axis) gradients
by unknown＠example.com 20 Feb '06

20 Feb '06

Hello all, I'm a new inkscape user with what may be a dumb question, but I haven't yet found an answer through web searches or the mailing list archives. What I want to do is add a gradient to an object which is neither a single linear or elliptical gradient. (In particular, I'm trying to achieve faux-3D bubble effects for web graphics.) I can imagine two likely ways to do it: 1 - Apply multiple linear gradients to the same object and manually adjust their axes to achieve the desired effect. 2 - Apply a gradient that is defined by the orthogonal distance from the edge of an object rather than the distance from some fixed point. But, I can't seem to find any way of doing either in inkscape. Am I missing something? Does such functionality simply not exist (yet)? In case it's useful to the next person searching for help on this, here's my workaround: For object that can be decomposed into a small number of linear sides and involved a flat foreground and background color, I've been mimicking option #2 above as follows. I create an object with solid fill and then overlay it with thin rectangles aligned along each edge. Each rectangle is then given a gradient from background color to transparent. It works well for something simple (like a rectangle), but becomes prohibitively complicated for complex objects. Finally, I want to offer thanks to the developers. I'm very impressed by Inkscape. Haven't come across another piece of software that so perfectly strikes a balance between an intuitive, natural interface and access to a rich feature set. (It more than makes up for the list of pesky gnome libs I had to install in order to get the thing up and running.) Nicely done! - Erik

Stand alone installation? [Windows]
by Thetargos 19 Feb '06

19 Feb '06

What would be the requirements for a standalone installation of Inkscape, say in a USB drive? Would it be possible to use Inkscape from a standalone media, provided GTK+ is installed on the host system, without being installed (as such) in the system?

Problems with configure
by Gerald I. Evenden 19 Feb '06

19 Feb '06

OS:linux FLAVOR: Mandriva 2005LE In attempting to install InkScape I ran into the problem that configure cannot see libgc: checking gc.h usability... yes checking gc.h presence... yes checking for gc.h... yes checking for GC_init in -lgc... yes checking libgc version 6.4+... no configure: error: libgc (the Boehm Conservative Collector) 6.4+, is needed to compile inkscape -- http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc Initially I did not have libgc install but did install it and added the line /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf as suggested by gc instructions. I even went so far as to reboot the system--- to no avail. BTW: gc6.5 was installed. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. -- Jerry and the low riders:Daisy May and Joshua "The being cannot be termed rational or virtuous, who obeys any authority, but that of reason." ---Mary Wollstonecraft 1792
