Printing Oddities
by Veall, Crispin 22 Sep '04

22 Sep '04

Hi All, I seem to be having great difficulties printing anything from inkscape onto my printer (Epson Stylus Photo 870). If I attempt to print anything, it comes out as a large grey square, with the vaguest hint of the darkest parts of the image elongated down the right-hand side. I've tried using print direct, print image as bitmap and piping through lp, and kprinter, to no avail. I can print out to a laser printer at work, but that's a raw PS one. Any suggestions on what to check, how to narrow down the culprit, or how to clarify what's wrong most welcome. I've tried to compile inkscape with --gnome-print, but that completely failed (I've raised a bug on this). Apart from that, I'm really impressed with Inkscape - a big thankyou to all who've helped with it. Cheers, Crispin

gtkmm-2.4 required for cvs
by Michal Zeravik 12 Sep '04

12 Sep '04

Hi, I'm very curious and try to get cvs state, but I've got error message during configure that gtkmm-2.4 is required. I'm using updated fedoracore2, but there are gtkmm1210-1.2.10-2 gtkmm2-2.2.12-1.1 gtkmm2-devel-2.2.12-1.1 gtkmm1210-devel-1.2.10-2 packages installed. Should I wait for gtkmm2-2.4.*.rpm or you can help me? Michal

Crash occuring when copying an object with tile fill.
by Lee McLain 11 Sep '04

11 Sep '04

Hi Everyone, I have gotten this crash to occur almost a dozen times, so at least it's consistent! The first step is copying an object from one document to another that contains a tile fill. When the object is pasted, it does not contain the tile fill from the other document. Then, when the fill/stroke dialog is either selected or turned on, Inkscape crashes comletely. Most of the time it will save a work-in-progress(very nice!) I am running Inkscape 0.39 on my HP ze4125 laptop running Suse 9.0, kernel 2.4.21-243 with 256mb RAM. The bug has been logged on the SF bug tracker list. Thanks, Lee

Fill/Gradient changes since .39?
by Joshua A. Andler 09 Sep '04

09 Sep '04

I have a drawing that I've been working on and it's slowly coming together (done 100% in inkscape baby!), however if I open it in any of the newer builds since .39 (the autobuilds by Daniel) some of the places where I have some gradients and transparency are being "rendered" differently. I don't want to say they're displaying "wrong" (given I don't know what modifications have been made to source and it may have always done it wrong before and now it's fixed), but it's definitely not the same as it used to be... Here's a link showing a comparison of old & new, so perhaps someone can help me to understand what's different. http://scislac.com/ink/inkprob.jpg As you can see, the one on left is the way I intended, and the right is just "rendering" things much differently. The translucent part of her shirt appears to just be mostly clear... the gradient objects I have on the midriff area (skin shading) are also not looking the same... and the biggest change of all is all the stuff with the skirt. There are many objects that are used to achieve the effects needed (lighting/shading mostly), and when it shows them, it displays how truly crude my work is... but hey it's faster & easier. Back on topic... so does anyone know if this is because of a permanent change that was made? Or is it a temporary thing? My main concern at this point is that some of the objects showing through the skirt are at a lower # in the z-order than the actual skirt, and I can't seem to get them "behind" it. So fixing it isn't working too well and it's not worth my time if this is a temporary issue (plus I'm curious as to what causes it). And this is a little OT, and probably belongs in another list... but... Does anyone know if there are plans to have better "node manipulation" tools? Meaning, the current way of being able to add nodes is ok... (a pain to work with for the most part... but can be VERY handy at other times) but are there plans to add a way to directly add nodes wherever you want on a line (versus the "in the middle" method)? I guess something akin to Illustrator's node tools where you directly work with them is what I'm looking for... Thanks! -Josh

Re : Various publications about Inkscape.
by Gazal, Geraud (MED) 09 Sep '04

09 Sep '04

Hi all, here is the sum up of the article I've read in Linux+ (French edition, Number 2, September/October 2004) Title : Inkscape, où vas-tu ? (Inkscape, where are you going ?) Author : unknown Sum-up : The article presents Inkscape as a drawing application, forked from Sodipodi (due to divergent goals and opinions about development-process) aiming at offering a free & SVG compliant software. The author points out that : Inkscape is undergoing a Gtkmm'ification' and that its development process is very open, allowing fast and efficient integration of new features (interface, booleans, autopackage) and in line with developers and users (even beginners) needs. He also notes that a clear Roadmap is identified. Open clipart is mentionned as a fast evoluting sister project. Apart from a few small mistakes (example Gtkmm'ification' is not finished) it provides a very positive feedback about the application If some of you can have an access to / afford buying another edition (English, German, Spanish, Polish...) it might be intersting to compare the different versions/translations I can scan and mail the French article to anyone asking for it. Regards, Matiphas PS : I've added a link about the linuxgraphix tutorial in the wiki. I can add this small review if you want.

Re: Printing Oddities
by Crispin Veall 09 Sep '04

09 Sep '04

>I"ll start with a couple of stupid questions: Good idea, I can never think of all the information people might want :-) >* Can you print from other applications? Yes. >* If so, which ones? Gimp, OpenOffice, a2ps (when printing out code, text etc). > * What printing interface are you using (e.g. CUPS, lprng)? CUPS, but in inkscape I just "| lp" >* Can you export to PS / PNG, then import and print from the GIMP[0]? I can export to png, open in gimp and print. Exporting to ps then opening in gimp results in just one layer/object showing - but this could be a transparency issue. I was trying to get further last night, and tried to print a png via a2ps. This was delegated to ImageMagick, which then proceeded to print nothing. I tried opening the png directly into IMageMagick. This showed up, but still wouldn't print (or rather this time printed a blank sheet of paper). I'm not sure if this helps... Thanks for your time, Crispin
