Anti-aliased
by Raeth 06 Sep '05

06 Sep '05

Greets, A friend and I were working in Inkscape, and due to the slowness of his computer, the going was, well, slow. To counter this, we searched for a way to turn the anti-aliasing off, but could not find it anywhere. Maybe there should be an option to? Some people might need the accuracy of sharp edges for editing sometimes. Can anyone help? Thanks! Raeth

Snapping when drawing vs. snapping when editing
by Tobias Eitel ... unterwegs ... 06 Sep '05

06 Sep '05

Hi, I am using the 0.42 release and I love the improvements, especially concerning the text and gradient tools. But now here is my problem: I have set up a grid with spacing of 5 px and snap distance of 2px. Options "Snap bounding box to grid" and "Snap points to grid" are turned on. Now when I draw a rectangle, I get exactly what I want. The origin and the end point of the rectangle snap nicely to the grid. But when I edit the points of the rectangle (with the rectangle tool or the node edit tool), they do not snap to the grid any more. They can be placed anywhere between the grid points. Is this a bug or just something I do not understand about these options? OK, I experimented a little and found out that I get the desired snapping behaviour when I convert the rectangle to a path. But my question remains: Why is there a difference between drawing a rectangle (snapping ok) and editing the points of the rectangle (no snapping until converted to path)? This makes me think that there are different functions for the same thing. T.E. ___________________________________________________________ Gesendet von Yahoo!

An Inkscape mascot is definately needed
by Karol Krenski 06 Sep '05

06 Sep '05

Hi list, The logo is not enough guys, there should be some maskot for inkscape. Linux has one, gimp has one, mozilla has one. The sooner it happens, the better. I created some mice with inkscape recently: http://www.inf.sgsp.edu.pl/pub/MALUNKI/incoming/ and if you like the idea I could create some inkscape related mice or similar animals, like http://www.inf.sgsp.edu.pl/pub/MALUNKI/2004/qcad2.png I've created some mascot-logos already and personaly I believe animal-mascots that can be drawn with hands and fingers (hard with birds or tuxes) are best, because various objects can be nicely put in their hands. I don't want to force myself into official inkscape logo author, so the contest could be a good idea too. Karol

Effect Wishlist
by Ted Gould 05 Sep '05

05 Sep '05

In talking with Aaron a while back he mentioned that sometimes it is hard to come up with ideas for good effects. I was thinking about it, and I'm willing to bet that the user community has some good ideas. This isn't a call for "features" (i.e. layer dialog) more like quick little things that you can already do in Inkscape, but it takes a few steps. You do it often enough that it would be really cool to have a "one click" way to do it. Typically something that takes 5-10 steps is good (too few it isn't worth doing, too many, it may be too complex). Try to include a description of the idea, how you could do it in Inkscape today, and what kind of application you have in mind for it. Including how to do it in Inkscape today helps new users learn techniques, even if they never get made into effects -- so make sure to be clear for them! I've included a few that have been bouncing around in my head below. If anyone wants to implement any of these, ask for help on -devel. We'd be happy to help and get you started on your way. --Ted -- Zealous crop -- Many times when I'm drawing something for a website I draw it, and then I want the document size to be the same as what I drew. This can be done by selecting all the objects, looking at the size of the bounding box, and then adjusting the document properties appropriately. The size of the bounding box is shown in the secondary toolbar when selecting objects. But, it would be really cool to just click "Crop to drawing" and have this happen for me. -- Desaturate -- Sometimes I think that I'd like to see the image I'm working on in black and white (or, more correctly, greyscale). It would be cool if there was one command to change all the fill, stroke, and gradient colors to be totally desaturated. Realistically, it should be every selected object, so that I can make a rose that is in color stand out on a desaturated background. (Note: one tricky part here is that you need to watch for shared objects that are used more than once. If a gradient is used twice, and only one of those shapes is desaturated, a second gradient will need to be created) -- Align by font size -- I haven't decided whether I like this effect or not, but it seems to be popular. Basically people seem to be taking a block of text, and to make it align on the left and right sides, they adjust the size of the font for that line. So the text: I love elephants might have the font sizes of 36, 24, and 10 for each word respectively. (I didn't do the math, I'm just trying to make an example, don't go and see if those are the right sizes). To do this in Inkscape today you'd have to manually adjust the font sizes until it looked good, which can take a while.

full memory pblm
by Tristan Lefebure 05 Sep '05

Hi all, I could not manage the way to work with quite big svg files. I'm usually working with R (statistic program), export plot to ps or svg, and then tune my figures with inkscape. The problem is that when svg files are rather big (few Mb), inkscape uses all the RAM and finally all the swap.... my laptop freezes. Is there a way to work with big svg files with inkscape ? As an example, find an svg files (5.6 Mb) at http://serv-umr5023.univ-lyon1.fr/~tlefebure/tmp/test.svg and screenshot of inkscape with the memory tracer open at http://serv-umr5023.univ-lyon1.fr/~tlefebure/tmp/capture1.png . My laptop (512 Mb of RAM, and 700 Mb of swap) freezes when I try to export a png of this file. inkscape.i386.0.42-2.fc4 on fedora core 4 thanks for any help... tristan

> I can't get the rotating cube to run, (plugin problems like you say) If you do see the image, only it is not rotating, maybe it is the matter of security setting of the browser. My Internet Explorer was not scripting when "Active scripting" was set to "Ask"; I had to set it to "Allow". > but downloaded source of the embedded svg > and like the cloning relationships > betweeen the unfolded cube and the '3d rendered' cube. > Can't imagine how you do the rotation with scripting - > can SVG handle simple perspective rendering? I compute the 3D transformation from the plane of a side to the plane of the view, and then set the 2D submatrix of this transformation matrix to the "transform" atribute of the clone. In this way, the parallel projection (a view from very far point) can be done, not the central projection from a near point. >What's the plugin I need - my browser can't auto update plugins >automatically > because of enterprise firewall controls.

I like the solution, Adam, it's very practical. I was (secretly) trying to understand a bit more about the various path operations and how they can be combined. I couldn't find a combination to get visible elements bounded by paths to be coloured - I guess it's analogous to a fill operation in a rasterised environment. There isn't a direct analogue, but hoping to find something which will do the job.

Gimp Conference 2006
by David Neary 04 Sep '05

04 Sep '05

Eat Frog's Legs and snails in garlic butter! Enjoy the refreshing taste of duck liver! Eat baked pig intestines (a local speciality)! Come to Lyon for the GIMP Conference, 2006! We're in the early stages of the planning - and now's the time to stand up & be counted. The GIMP conference, which may become a more general Free Graphics conference, if other people like the idea, will be held in CPE, Lyon, in March or April 2006. We have 4 possible weekends (Friday/Saturday/Sunday) available. The first is the weekend of St. Paddy's Day (the patron saint of Guinness), and David Odin's birthday - 17/18/19 March. The second is the weekend afterwards, when there's not much on - 24/25/26 March The third is the birthday of Dave Neary (me!), and April Fool's Day (think of the press release possibilities!) - 31 march/1/2 April. The last one - 7/8/9 April. We need to decide when the conference will be on soon, to reserve space in the university, get in contact with youth hostels, figure out what's going to happen, and work up some sponsorship. Once the dates are fixed, I'll send a follow-up announcement (if there are dates that are definitely out for you, let us know now). Everyone's welcome! Spread the word! Bring your dog! (But tie them on a leash outside) Bring your partner! (Lyon's lovely in March) We're looking forward to having you all. Cheers, Dave. -- Dave Neary bolsh@...1045... Lyon, France
