When adding an end marker (or midpoint marker), the color is black (even if the line color is nonblack). Is it possible to change the color of the markers? Also, is it possible to change the orientation of the marker?

Can't import postscript
by Amelie Veron 01 Oct '05

01 Oct '05

Hi, I am a completely new user and I installed inkscape mainly to manipulate postscript files. The installation was done with inkscape-0.42.2.x86.package on suse 9.0. My problem is that I can't seem to be able to import .ps files doing "File -> Import " and setting the filter to "All files". Inkscape tells me that it is unable to load the (.ps) file I choose. Here are the error messages I get : - when starting inkscape inkscape: /usr/bin/../lib/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by inkscape) although pkg-config and libpng12-config are able to find a version : >pkg-config --modversion libpng12 1.2.5 >libpng12-config --version 1.2.5 - when trying to import a ps file /[...]/blah.ps:1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found %!PS-Adobe-2.0 EPSF-1.2 ^ Any help would be greatly appreciated.

On a French Usenet newsgroup (fr.comp.os.mac-os.x) one of the contributors to the French version of OpenOffice explains that "in the X11 version provided by Apple the Alt key is de-activated because the kb extension is not loaded when X11.app is launched". He also says that he has compiled a X11 version with this extension, and it works fine. He has reported this bug to Apple and it seems to appear now as "duplicate" so they wait until Apple has resolved it. Herve

I put up a bug report about editing text when we had the bug party, then added extra information when I saw a comment yesterday. Now the whole report seems to have vanished. What gives? -- Bungee

Re: [Inkscape-user] how to "envelope" or "paste into" a picture

Sorry, I'm really dazed !! Hi people, thanks to your helps I tried again the steps Phil noticed me. I saw that after the assigning of a new Pattern to fill the shape, Inkscape shows three powerfull handsets to manage the picture. There is an handset to move the picture into the shape, one to rotate it and one to scale it. Powerfull, really powerfull, better than in many other editors (es. the heavy macromedia freehand) R.

>Could you back up briefly and summarize the kind of artwork you're >doing where it helps to compare the two shapes you're tweaking? The first is an Escher lizard, the second is a clone (or a copy) of it, and I want to tweak the first so that it exactly fits the rotated copy of itself. __________________________________________________ Phil Hibbs | Capgemini | Rotherham Technical Consultant __________________________________________________ This message contains information that may be privileged or confidential and is the property of the Capgemini Group.
