bezir to yarn
by Martin Klaffenboeck 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

Hello! I'm new to incscape and vector graphics. I created a bezir curve for a Text (looks like hand written with some extras on the start and end, and should look like made of yarn. Now the curve looks fine to me (even if it is very thin at the moment). Now I would like to make it look like a real yarn, but with different colors. So I created a gradient for the colors I want to have. But when I use this, the text seems to be gradiented from left to right, but I would like to have it over my 'yarn'. So is it possible somehow to tell incscape to do Like my bezir curve is a yarn? Do you know what I mean? Thanks for your help. Martin

Windows hiding/Layer list
by Kodoichi 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

Hi 1. Wouldn't it be more comfortable for us user to set up a message board on inkscape.org instead of a nerdy mailing list that fills up mailboxes with unwanted discussions? 2. I have been playing around with the Windows version. It's nice, but I'd like to see some features and changes: - When I have the document window opened in fullscreen, then open a dialogue window or similar and work on the document again, the dialogue windows disappear behind it. I've seen this behaviour on The GIMP as well and it's damn annoying. Would it be difficult for a coder to change it so the dialogue boxes and menus stay on top? - I mainly use Expression 3 for vector and really like that there is a layer window, so the user can easily choose and rearrange the objects. I haven't found out if Inkscape has this function as well, I have only seen that drop down menu at the bottom which is quite poor compared to Expression/Illustrator and other programs... is there an option to activate a box listing all the layers or is it planned to code something like that?

New Extention Collect images/Publish Zip
by Pim Snel 30 Nov '05

30 Nov '05

Hello, I've created my first extention for inkscape. Though it needs some work we use it allready and it's is quite usefull. Its called "Publish Zip" and resides in the filters menu. It does the following: - it copies all linked images to the current dir en modifies all links to be relative - it creates a zip containing the document and the linked images. The zip can be mailed and opened by someone else with all images correctly displayed. You can find it here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1364270&group_id=9… known problems: - Document has to be saved first - to create a correct svg-document in the zipfile pubzip has to be run, then the document has to be saved, then pubzip has to be run again. - it fails with an ugly error when document is never saved before. Unknown problems: - only tested on Linux/Debian PPC Regards, Pim Snel -- Lingewoud B.V. | Tel. +31 418 663963 Maasdijk 4 | Fax. +31 418 663053 5328 BG Rossum | pim@...1254...

shape question
by Patrick Roane 30 Nov '05

30 Nov '05

Hey folks, I am a fairly new user of Inkscape and was wondering how I can create a square that has rounded corners on the top, but streight corners on the bottom? So far, I've noticed there are only 3 nodes which I can use to modify my square. One of which is used to round the corners- but it does all 4. Is there a way I can only select 2 of the 4 corners to round? Thanks- I hope this makes sense. Patrick

Inkscape static 686 rpm install on two FC3 installations
by Asif Lodhi 29 Nov '05

29 Nov '05

Hi, I downloaded the static 686-specific rpm from sourceforge and installed it on my FC3 which doesn't have any devel libs etc. installed - I chose "personal desktop" setting when I installed FC3. The installed inkscape is working perfectly well on this one. However, I installed the same static 686-specific rpm on another FC3 installation with a few more things (MySQL, PostGreSQL, Apache, etc) installed and there I can't get it to run. It emits an error that some-lib.so is needed. Why don't I get the same error on the other FC3 installation? What has a static rpm to do with an .so lib? Please help. -- Asif
