Hi, Because it was asked here before :) I've just discovered a small nifty utility to generate color triads: http://home.gna.org/colorscheme/ You will need gtkmm (>2.5) and libgnomeui (>=2.0). Alexandre

Postscript and PDF: Text not as path
by Bernhard Walle 29 Aug '05

29 Aug '05

Hello, is there an option so save text as text in Inkscape when exporting Postscript or PDF? Something must be implemented because when saving as EPS, there is a checkbox for this, but this is missing for PS and PDF. It would be very nice because the display quality in Adobe Reader is much better and the text can be copied. Regards, Bernhard

optimize SVG
by Adib Taraben 29 Aug '05

29 Aug '05

Hello all, once upon a time ..., no seriously couple of weeks ago I have been contacted by Joseph Merdas ( shemeri_at_hotmail_dot_com ). He writes a thesis about optimizing SVG. He had couple of questions and needed some answers. I promised him to contact the inkscape list with the many friedly peopels dealing with svg every day for further feedback and background info. Joseph examines how to optimize SVG in different ways: -optimize for render speed, -optimize for size -etc He has ideas about some tricks that also inkscape is using by simplify feature, also reordering the elements, moving the attributes, etc. One of his concerns is that the change in the structure of a document may corrupt the document for build-in ECMA-script proccessing. Because the elements are differtly orderd, are vanished or have different attributes etc. and so the DOM is deifferent. Now he has the first result ready. An java implemented optimizer, that also checks the rendering results. I would please everyone to give some feedback. His project page can be found at: http://myfriendsnet.com/svg/survey.php Many thanks, Adib.

How to print transparent graphics?
by Bernhard Walle 29 Aug '05

29 Aug '05

Hello Inkscape users, transparency is a great feature, I really like it. :-) But how to print in Inkscape? PS doesn't support transparency, PDF is currently only PS converted with Ghostscript. Scribus is far from import my SVGs in the same way than drawed in Inkscape (at least if I use flowed text). So, does anybody have an idea? The only thing which comes in mind is to render as PNG with a reasonable resolution and print that -- but that's a lot of work if the size should be the same as in the SVG file. Thanks for your ideas! Regards, Bernhard

No text printed
by Bernhard Walle 29 Aug '05

29 Aug '05

Hello, if I print using "Print..." in the file menu, no text is printed. If I print using "Print direct", all works. Is this a known issue or am I doing something wrong? Also, the dots in "Print..." are confusing because no print dialog appears. Regards, Bernhard

stroke width issue
by Royden Yates 29 Aug '05

29 Aug '05

I am working in Inkscape 0.42 (autopackage and apt installed on 2 Ubuntu linux boxes (autopackage is hoary, apt is breezy)). With a .svg file exported from paths in Gimp 2.2.8, on both installations, the stroke width dialogue behaves strangely, incrementing the stroke width only upwards by large amounts and then locking out at 1000.0 px. Width then is adjustable just by entering a number rather than the using the scrolls and even then it goes to a different value than the one entered. This behaviour goes away if I import the file into Scribus and reset the stroke width (Scribus behaves properly on this) and then export it and then open in Inkscape. This does not happen if svg file is Inkscape created. I have looked at bugs but nothing seen. Before I submit, is this behaviour known? Thanks in advance for any insights, R -- Royden Yates
