Conversion to pdf
by unknown＠example.com 12 Mar '05

Hello, Just discovered Inkscape and I like it. Great work. I designed a flyer and want to send it to some people so they can print the flyer. I always did this in OpenOffice.org Draw and exported the flyer as pdf, so everybody could easily open it. Now I've used Inkscape to make my flyer and want to do the same. I wanted to open the flyer in Draw and use the functionality to save it as pdf but that won't work. Alse the standard svg and eps won't work. Maybe an idea to implement in the next version of Inkscape. Export to pdf. But for now.. Is there an other way to create pdf from the flyer I created in Inkscape? I used some jpg's and text in the flyer. Thanks, Marcel --------------------------------------------- Dit bericht is verzonden via Postbakje Free. http://www.postbakje.nl/ - Gratis WebMail

NEW: more gradient stuff
by bulia byak 12 Mar '05

12 Mar '05

Some improvements since the last announcement: - All tools that were previously able to click to select (namely node, shapes, and gradient tools), can now do Shift+click (add to selection) and Alt+click (select under) exactly as the Selector tool. - Dragging a gradient handle with Ctrl+Shift will scale the entire linear or radial gradient around its center. - Gradient handles for each gradient are connected by blue lines for fill gradient and yellow lines for stroke gradient. - In gradient tool, instead of dragging, you can double-click an object to create a new gradient centered within the object's bounding box. If you have several objects selected, or if your selected object is behind another one, you can double-click with Ctrl to create gradients on selected object(s) without changing selection. - The selected gradient handle will intercept any color/opacity setting commands and apply them to the corresponding stop(s) of its gradient(s). This means that at least two-stop gradients can be completely edited without ever opening the Gradient Editor dialog. In particular, you can use these methods to change the color of the selected handle: + Dropper tool (for example, to blend a radial gradient onto background, select its outer handle and pick the background color with the dropper). + Paste style (if the pasted style contains both fill and stroke style, the stop will take the fill style). + Fill and stroke dialog [this does not quite work yet because the dialog switches to gradient button and won't let you edit the color] - Double-clicking any gradient handle will open the Gradient Editor dialog with that handle's gradient loaded and the corresponding stop selected in the list. - Before, the actual direction of the linear gradient was not always perpendicular to the line connecting it handles if the bounding box of the object was not a square. This is now fixed, though the fix only works for new gradients that you create (i.e. gradients in old files are not affected). In other news, Richard Hughes' text layout rewrite appears to have reduced the memory consumption on a text-heavy document by about 20%, and rendering is faster by the same percentage. Hooray! :)

Which is strange because he was being enthusiastic about it as well... I think Ink is a fine short name for Inkscape. Much less awkward than IS. That's my 2c worth. Chris.

autopackage
by wayne 09 Mar '05

09 Mar '05

Just installed inkscape 0.41 with autopackage. When I open it, I get a message saying that one or more extensions failed to load. When I close that window, I get another message saying that Inkscape encountered an internal error and will close. In the command line, this is what appears: SCIM: im_module_init free(): invalid pointer 0x9453670! free(): invalid pointer 0x9453650! Emergency save activated! Emergency save completed. Inkscape will close now. Do I have to uninstall SCIM? How do I get around this?

Inkscape for Adobe Illustrator users

However, it is not feasible to create a cooperative open-source project (see: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CostumeShop/ ) which relies on an expensive piece of proprietary software. That is why I was initially interested in Inkscape. Now that I have become more familiar with it, I have grown to like it for its own sake. :) > A. Kwixson has removed my mention of keyboard accessibility That is an important and useful difference. It should be restored. > B. In the section on shapes, Kwixson has removed my explanation > of the difference between a shape and a path and the unique > features that shapes offer. Paths and shapes are different. Adobe Illustrator users need to know that they are different, and what makes each useful in a specific context. This explanation should be restored. > C.

The goal of this section of the document is not to slavishly mimic the procedures of Illustrator. The goal of this section of the document is to show how the Illustrator user how to achieve the same (or similar) *result* in the simplest and most straightforward way possible. -- Brandon Blackmoor bblackmoor@...477... 2005-03-09

EPS, PDF, PNG support for transparency, gradients
by oisin feeley 09 Mar '05

09 Mar '05

Hi all, I posted this comment on the gnomedesktop.org article about Inkscape and am reposting it here in case none of you read that article. I've just started using Inkscape and am mighty impressed. The collection of tutorials that comes with the program is great and got me up to speed very quickly. I have one major stumbling block to using this program in the way that I want to though: I would like to create vector graphics with Inkscape, then save them to EPS and use those EPS figures in LyX (LaTeX) created documents. Currently (inkscape-0.41-1, lyx-1.3.5-3) I cannot do this with figures that have transparency or gradients. What happens is that EPS exported figures with more than a single layer are completely munged so that a single plane of color is produced. PNG exported are slightly better. So here's a sort of work around if anyone has the same problem: use Scribus to take the SVG file and export it to PDF or PNG. I should add to the above that when exporting a multi-layered SVG document to PDF using Inkscape the same problem occurs. However scribus-1.2.1-3 is able to get the layering and gradient fill correct with PNG exports and the layering correct with PDF exports (but not the gradient, even if I choose the Acrobat-5.0 compatibility) Hope this helps someone out and is useful feedback to the developers whom I must thank again.

Second page
by unknown＠example.com 08 Mar '05

08 Mar '05

I made a flyer with front and backside in Inkscape. In OpenOffice.org Draw I could use two pages and print it doublesided. Just had to cut the A4 in for pieces and I have 4 double sided flyers. Can I make a second page in Inkscape and do the same? I didn't find how to add a page in a document.
