inkscape to OpenOffice Draw?
by Alexandre Santos 20 Nov '05

20 Nov '05

Hello, I created a couple of graphics with Inkscape (0.39), and I would like to include them in an OpenOffice (1.1.3) Draw document. The problem is that Inkscape can export into ps, eps, svg, inkscape svg, etc. But none of those formats can be read by Draw (except it claims to read ps and eps, but it does not work). Is there a sane way to transfer inkscape graphics into OOo Draw as vectors (and not bitmaps)? Maybe there is an utility under Linux which can convert inkscape svg into something OOo Draw can read? Thanks for the help, Alex

This seems kinda weird to me. (Sure I'm ignorant, I know that.) Does anyone else compile on FC3? Could it be the version of whatever is invoked by autogen.sh? Has that already been checked?

snap to everything
by Arthur Magill 19 Nov '05

19 Nov '05

Hello all, I'm trying to daw some technical diagrams with Inkscape. It would be an excellent tool, but the snap feature is driving me mad. I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature - if I draw a line, then move it, it will snap to grid on the left, centre and right of the line (or top-middle-bottom). It takes away the whole point of snapping, and I end up with a lot of wonky diagrams! Can I turn this off, so that lines will only snap at their centre? TIA Arthur

Importing Adobe Illustrator files
by H.Fagard 19 Nov '05

19 Nov '05

Hi all, According to Tavmjong's manual (http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/ch03s02.html) the ImageMagick Perl module is needed to import AI files into Inkscape. But the suggested link to get it is dead. I've been searching this list's archives, and read about another perl script called ill2svg. Which option is best? Where can I find the latest release of these scripts? How should I install them in a MacOS X environment? Thanks in advance, Herve

I was already afraid of that. I managed to produce a nice looking result with your suggestion of using two circles and adjusting letterspacing. I did some experimenting with CorelDraw and noticed that the letterspacing needed some tweaking also for a nice result. > > Also, increasing letterspacing does not seem to work when the text is > > already on the path.

If it does not for you, >please submit a but attaching the bad file (or giving a link to it). The letterspacing does work with text-on-path. I only needed to enter 'editing text' mode first. Maybe it would be a good idea to be able to add an alternate way (besides the keys Alt-> and Alt-<) to adjust letterspacing. Because on my keyboard I need to use the shift key already to enter '>'. So I can't use that key for the 10 pixel variant of the key combination anymore. Just an idea.

Cut off digits after decimal point automatically?
by Henning Pingel 17 Nov '05

17 Nov '05

Hi, Is it possible to reduce the size of a SVG file by cutting off (some or all of) the digits of numbers behind the decimal point automatically? Can this be done within Inkscape or is it possible to write a script to extend Inkscape? (With regular expressions and a scripting laanguage it would be possible but I would like to know if a feature like this already exists. It should work like this: Before: <path d="M 197.50906,180.93358 C 208.42611,171.19005 243.09749,175.25444 255.13174,160.93358 C 258.56906,156.84315 258.33300,147.20836 258.33300,140.93358" style="fill:none;fill-opacity:0.75000000;fill-rule:evenodd;stroke:#000000;stroke-width:1.0585089px;stroke-linecap:butt;stroke-linejoin:miter;stroke-opacity:1.0000000" id="path1310" /> After: <path d="M 197,180 C 208,171 243,175 255,160 C 258,156 258,147 258,140" style="fill:none;fill-opacity:0.75000000;fill-rule:evenodd;stroke:#000000;stroke-width:1.0585089px;stroke-linecap:butt;stroke-linejoin:miter;stroke-opacity:1.0000000" id="path1310" /> Thanks in advance!
