But you didn't mention your OS, so please forgive > my reference to a software for win32 if that is not an option. :) It's Windows XP. So thanks for the tip, Steven. But there is now something else. I made a flyer with front and backside. 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? Mm... I'll post this as new thread...

Open Clip Art Library Release 0.11 Announcement
by Jon Phillips 08 Mar '05

08 Mar '05

Open Clip Art Library Release 0.11 Announcement March 8, 2005 UTC - Release 0.11 of the Open Clip Art Library (www.openclipart.org) is now available for download on-line as an individual package consisting of 2896 images submitted by over 200 artists from around the world. Some of the new clip art received this month includes more images of food, computer-related items and even a little boombox. In addition to the collected 0.11 package, each clip art file can now be found by keywords using developer Jonadab's new Keyword Search Tool. The Open Clip Art Library is growing rapidly because of increasing submissions from artists. Currently, the top five artists in terms of the amount of clip art submitted are: Danny Allen (951 images), Nicu Buculei (456), Jose Hevia (453), Andy Fitzsimon (250), and Alan Horkan (119). These Artist's and others contributions are the life blood of the Library. While the critical unit of contribution in traditional Open Source is code, it is a little different with the Open Clip Art Library project in that an actual clip art donation is just as helpful as the code supporting it. For March the Open Clip Art Library encourages submissions of clip art related to the concept of "Spring." In the coming months as the library grows in size, the project needs new developers to help build tools to process this growing repository. Upcoming planned features that the project needs assistance on include capturing and tracking of clip art requests, user account management, adding WebDAV support, and developing wizards to aid in composition. Use the following URLs to download the latest release of the Open Clip Art Library: http://www.openclipart.org/downloads/0.11/openclipart-0.11.tar.bz2 http://www.openclipart.org/downloads/0.11/openclipart-0.11.tar.gz http://www.openclipart.org/downloads/0.11/openclipart-0.11.zip http://www.openclipart.org/downloads/0.11/openclipart-tools.zip The Open Clip Art Library (http://www.openclipart.org/) aims to create an archive of clip art that can be used freely for any use. All graphics submitted to the project are placed into the Public Domain according to the Creative Commons Public Domain Declaration.

07 Mar '05

I just installed 0.41 and got this message when trying to run it: "inkscape: error while loading shared libraries: libperl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" What does this mean? I do have perl installed. Do I have to install libperl? I couldn't find it anywhere (Mandrake version). Thanks, Wayne MDK 10.1

vectorized EPS?
by Lars Åke Thornblad 07 Mar '05

07 Mar '05

Hi! I am a new user of Inkscape, and as for now I just have one purpose of this. I want to convert a jpeg-file to a vectorized EPS file? The purpose of this file should be to give the eps-file to a printing company who should create a commersial sign for my small business. Is there anyone of you who can tell me the easiest way to get this eps-file from the existing jpeg-file, if this is possible in Inkscape? Best regards Lars T.

Working with Layers

Is there any way to see what layers you have to work with in inkscape? I kept looking for a Layers Dialog and never found anything to show me what layers I have and what their relation is.

NEW: gradient tool
by bulia byak 05 Mar '05

05 Mar '05

New in CVS: The Gradient tool (Ctrl+F1 or the g key) is a new convenient way to create, edit, and manage gradients: o Simply drag anywhere on canvas to create a gradient on selected objects. Existing gradients can be edited by dragging their handles (as in any tool that has on-canvas gradient editing enabled). o The tool's controls bar lets you choose the type of the newly created gradients (linear or radial) and whether they will be applied to the objects' fill or stroke. o For the gradient(s) of selected object(s), you can choose one of the gradient definitions in the document from the drop-down list in the controls bar. The Fork button creates a copy of the selected gradient definition and applies it to the selected objects, which is useful when you have several objects sharing one gradient definition but want to change that. The Edit... button opens the gradient dialog where you can edit the gradient definition (add/move/delete stops and change colors and opacities of stops). o The selected (blue) on-canvas gradient handle can be moved by arrow keys with all the regular modifiers (Alt ro move by 1 screen pixel, Shift to move by 10 times the distance). The Tab and Shift+Tab keys let you move selection from one handle to the next or previous. This functionality is largely equivalent to that of the Fill&Stroke dialog, but is much more convenient. Still TODO: - toggle buttons for spread (none/reflect/repeat) - button/dialog to rename selected gradient definition - X/Y spinbuttons for the position of the selected handle - the ability to assign color to the selected handle, so it's possible to edit at least two-stop gradients without opening the gradient editor - additional draggable handles for multi-stop gradients Also today I eliminated the old gradient position widget in Fill&Stroke as redundant. I'm thinking about removing the remaining gradient controls there too ("vector" list, Add/Edit, spread) because they are a duplication of what is available in the gradient tool, and have no added advantages in the dialog. All these changes were rather disruptive, so please test everything thoroughly. Of course any feedback on the usability, terminology (e.g. I had to invent the term "gradient definition" for that color strip with stops that can be applied to objects' gradients; Sodipodi termed them "vectors" which is incredibly misleading), or anything else is welcome.
