text labels lost during EPS import
by David Soukal 07 Jun '05

07 Jun '05

Hello, I ran into a problem during importing a EPS figure. This figure was a plot generated by Matlab. My problem is that the axis tick labels (text labels) were not imported. I don't understand where the problem is because the rest of the figure is imported flawlessly, only all text labels are missing. KDE preview shows the text labels without any problem. Thank you for any comments! David

Devanagari
by Bal K Paudyal 06 Jun '05

Devanagari is not properly rendered. Sample Picture posted looks nice. But I can not get that result for Devenagari. I have raghu.ttf but I can't get good result with Kalimati.ttf either. Here is what I got. Any idea why the matra's are not properly aligned? http://www.attaritech.net/download/dev-bad.png Firefox works great in my system with devenagari.

oodraw

Anyone know the basic differences between Open Office Draw and Inkscape? Although I have oodraw installed on my box, I've only just looked at it and never really used it. I did notice that it can't open svg files (in version 1.1.4 anyway) though it does export to svg. Thanks, Wayne

Inkscape .42 About Screen Contest
by Joshua A. Andler 03 Jun '05

03 Jun '05

Hey all! Since we will be releasing a new version of Inkscape in the near future, we need to have a new about screen done. So... we will now have our second official contest for the Inkscapers on DeviantART. If you are not currently a DeviantArt member and are interested, please use the link below to sign up to be able to show us what you can do. Basics: *Our goal is to show off what inkscape can do in a somewhat artistic manner with the intent of giving credit to all of the project contributors. *We also recommend using a current CVS version (nightly build) to attempt to show off some new features. Nightly builds can be obtained from our downloads page (link is below) under the "Development Versions" section. *Upload your submission to your gallery or scraps on DeviantART and post a link and description at the link below. Rules: *The canvas dimensions must be 750x625 px / 600x500 pt (your image can bleed outside of the canvas, but anything outside of the canvas border will not be rendered) *It must be made in Inkscape only with no post processing as we will require the SVG file to use for the about screen *It must load relatively fast since it will be rendered in real-time when someone views the about screen *It must include the full list of Authors from the link above (flowtext would be recommended) *It must include the version number (.42) *It must not contain anything offensive *Have fun! Deadline: *June 21st, 2005 Prize: *Having your art be the About screen for the new version and a credit for your work. Judging: *Preliminary judging will be done by the Inkscape community on DeviantART, when we have an official "Top 3", the judging will then be turned over to the inkscape developers for final judging. Please note that once it is turned over to the developers, once they have chosen the winner, they may have requests for modifications.

Resizing...
by Justace Clutter 03 Jun '05

03 Jun '05

Ok, So, seriously, I am not trying to flood the list with needless comments and bunk. Here is another thing. When I resize a rectangle, and probably anything else, it moves the other control points such that they are no longer on a snap point. Now, I know that was confusing. Lets look at it this way. When you make something and position it the points have a now fixed location. Now, grab the bottom bounding box to resize the height. While doing that you will notice that the other control points also move. Intuition would tell me that they should not. I looked in the bug database but I did not see anything related and I also ran through the source code but got very confused and could not effectively find my way around. Is this the way resizing is supposed to work? Justace P.S. I know that I could use the point movement tool. I realize that the bounding box scales the entire object. So probably everything is working the way it was programmed to. Would it be better if the bounding box did not rescaled the object but resized the object. Possibly you could switch between the modes with a modifier key like I had suggested earlier. P.P.S. Again, sorry for the traffic. I just want to get proficient with this application since it looks very strong.

Snapping behavior
by Justace Clutter 03 Jun '05

03 Jun '05

So, I have been making some of the flowcharts that I was talking about and I ran into some issues with the snapping. I have found that the default behavior is to snap to the control points, and +/- .5*the line width. I found this to be very aggravating since there was a "floating" region where the object would fluctuate around. It would be nice if the default behavior was to snap only to the control points unless there was a modifier key pressed where they the object would hover. This would be much like the holding control to keep the aspect correct. So, did I miss something or what are your comments on this problem. Justace

Flowcharting....
by Justace Clutter 03 Jun '05

03 Jun '05

So... I did some searching to see if there have been other users out there who have done some flowcharting in Inkscape. I have seen a few pages that mention the openclipart project has clipart symbols, but none that talk about inkscape doing this. I know that this is not the premise of inkscape but I thought that I would see if there is anybody who have had experiance in trying to do this. Is there anybody who has and if so can you give me any pointers as to how you accomplished this in a timely fashion. Notably I would like to know how to get that text in the symbols done correctly. I tried all sorts of stuff. I did do the text flow and used the XML to edit it and the <CNTL>-<SHIFT>-V trick to past text style. Anyway, any comments would be cool. Thanks in advance. Justace P.S. Wouldn't you agree that a flow chart from Inkscape would just look so super cool...
