Printing in Inkscape
by Brian Burger 07 Dec '05

07 Dec '05

Hi all, I'm running Inkscape 0.42 on Ubuntu 5.10, and I can't get Inkscape to talk to my printer... It's an HP Deskjet 5740, and Inkscape is pretty much the only app that won't work with it. I tried replacing "lp" in the printer dialogue command line with "lpr", but that didn't work either... is there some method of getting Inkscape to just talk to the Gnome Printer Manager for printing? I've tried exporting as EPS and PDF to print in other apps - Evince or Acroread - but exporting to those formats seems to mess up the SVG gradients, and exporting to another format just to print is a workaround, not a fix! Hopefully someone can help - I've had a look thru the documentation and some of the Inkscape websites with no luck so far... Brian

Onion skin ?...
by Klerman 06 Dec '05

06 Dec '05

Hello, I just downloaded InkScape, and I'm in the middle of reading tutorials and playing with it. What I can't find anywhere is how to trace a drawing using this program. I used to place the bitmap in a second layer and then using a pen tool I was able to trace it in another layer. What is the technique to achieve the same with InkScape ?. TVMIA, Klerman

Two new contests at deviantART!
by Joshua A. Andler 06 Dec '05

06 Dec '05

We have two new contests going over at deviantART! The first contest is for an Inkscape calendar (which has a deadline of next Monday, 12/12/05) and which we will be choosing 12 winning images. The second contest is for Inkscape T-shirt designs to help fund Inkscape development (which we have no arbitrary number of winners for, if it's good it'll probably be accepted as one of many designs). You can read more over at: http://inkscapers.deviantart.com/journal/7226595/ -Josh

Original icon: A landscape, made of ink. Modified icon: A landscape, made of ink, with a pair of googly eyes stuck on the mountaintop. I prefer the original. __________________________________________________ Phil Hibbs | Capgemini | Rotherham Technical Consultant __________________________________________________ This message contains information that may be privileged or confidential and is the property of the Capgemini Group.

Icon modification

Hi list, I added eyes to inkscape's logo so that it fits other icons on my desktop. People who are into cartoons (like me) may like it. The logo has white, 50% alpha border so that it looks nice on dark desktop: http://www.inf.sgsp.edu.pl/pub/MALUNKI/IKONY/ Karol

some clever script for automation of plot annotation?
by David Soukal 05 Dec '05

05 Dec '05

Hello guys, I would like to ask for some insights and hints as to how to solve the following small problem. I am creating plots for my thesis. These plots are created in Matlab and I edit them later in Inkscape. What I mostly do is to change markers for points in the plots, annotate the plots, and the like. Now the problem. I have a plot with 5 lines, each line corresponding to an experiment. Each line has 180 points somewhere around it; these points are the actual data about the theoretical line. Now, I need to *replace* each of points by a beautiful marker of mine. The reason is that Matlab creates only a limited number of rather ugly markers. These markers are also converted (either by Matlab or epstool) into strokes each having 70 points :( :( So, Inkscape slows down and my file bloats. What I was doing so far and what I am tired of is that I manually select a point and its cloned marker and then using the alignment dialog align them over each other. Then I remove Matlab's markers for good. While this works OK, you can imagine how tired I am. I was playing with the idea of manually parsing the XML file in Perl but I rejected the idea as sure way to mess up the document. The Matlab's markers have custom color that I assigned to them so that I can easily find the points I need to replace... Does anybody have an insight into how to do this is more or less Inkscape fashion? I am not afraid of scripting in Inkscape, but I haven't gotten a chance to try it yet. Or am I missing some obvious "group and align the whole" idea? Thank you for tips! David

Tiling
by Albert 03 Dec '05

03 Dec '05

I am playing with tiling as a possible solution to drawing mandalas. Using 'Symmetry: reflection+reflection' in TileClones, with a 2x2 array, comes close, but requires selecting Create in the TileClones everytime a new object is added to the group of the main tile. When an object in this main tile group is moved, resized, or deleted, then the clones immediately reflects the change, but not when a new object is added to the group. Apparently, when a new object is added, the id of the group is changed and it then is no longer linked to the clones. I am a total newbie with this program, so I was hoping for some advice on how to force the main tile to remain with it's old id, linked to the clones, when a new object is added to its group. Thanks ahead for any help.
