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!

Line art or calligraphy tool tips?
by Matt Jordan 17 Nov '05

17 Nov '05

Hello everybody, I'm really excited about the imminent release of 0.43! I've been playing with the latest pre-release and I'm wondering if anyone has tips on the settings for the calligraphy tool. I'd like to use Inkscape, and in particular the calligraphy tool (I think), to do line work for my pencil drawings. (For those of you into comics, I'm essentially wanting to use Inkscape to do my inks digitally.) But so far I can't quite get the sort of taper response I'm looking for. Is it a settings issue or am I asking the program to do something it's not quite ready for? Here's a post on my sketch blog where I'm playing with it and sort of comparing it (albeit unfairly at this point) to Expression 3 (which I'd rather not use): http://www.sketch.mattjordan.com/2005/11/14/inkscape-043/ So, any suggestions on best approaches/settings/etc. for freehand line art? Thanks, Matt Jordan

RE: [Inkscape-user] Cut off digits after decimal point automatically?

I expect that the problem with this is that, depending on your document's scale, this might end up throwing all the information away. What if your document contains "0.197509,0.18033 C 0.20842,0.17119 0.2439,0.17525", and all your points are between 0.00000 and 0.99999? I thought of this myself a couple of weeks ago, but it isn't as simple as it might seem. __________________________________________________ Phil Hibbs | Capgemini | Rotherham Technical Consultant __________________________________________________ This message contains information that may be privileged or confidential and is the property of the Capgemini Group.

Dear all, Is there a way to convert a text into individual paths (one separate path for each letter or letter part), which can then be moved or modified individually? Thanks in advance, Herve

Not nagging or anything. But I'm checking out the feature request page for that function every day to see if someone has assigned to do it. When that function is added I can switch to inkscape and use it to draw my animations and I'll credit inkscape in the film and the film will atleast show at film festivals in sweden. Just saying. :) (and pleeeeeease pleeeeease pleeeeeaaseeeee) link to the feature request: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1343044&group_id=9… /regards emil > From: Aaron Digulla <digulla@...310...> > There was the idea floating around that stroking close to an existing > path would adjust it instead of creating a new one.
