Hi all, www.linuxgraphic.org is a French web site dedicated to graphic creation under linux (strange, isn't it ?). * Yesterday it has published a small tutorial (in French) dedicated to inkscape users (but applicable to any graphic creation app, I think) : how to have a 'mirror effect'. Quite nice. I will ask the site if they are ok if I translate this doc in English and then make it available from the inkscape website. The tutorial is there : http://linuxgraphic.org/section2d/articles/miroir_Inkscape/index.html * They've also announced the release of Open Clipart 0.06 on the main page. Linux+ (http://www.lpmagazine.org/en/modules/news/) European (Polish) magazine translated and published in French, English, German, Spanish and Czech has issued an article on Inkscape too. I have the French version. I'll produce a sum up + translation in English on mailing list. Regards, Matiphas

Printing Oddities in Inkscape
by Crispin Veall 08 Sep '04

08 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). Apart from that, I'm really impressed with Inkscape - a big thankyou to all who've helped with it. Cheers, Crispin

Line reported to be longer than I expected
by Jasper van de Gronde 07 Sep '04

07 Sep '04

When I load something like this: <svg width="200mm" height="400mm" viewBox="0 0 200 400" version="1.1"> <g fill="none" stroke="black" stroke-width="2" > <line x1="1" y1="0" x2="1" y2="400" /> </g> </svg> The line is reported to be 2mm longer than I expected (402mm), even though it touches the bottom and top of the page perfectly, the page is reported to be exactly 400mm high. Is this a bug or a feature?

Scale Journal 8/9 Call For Participation + Guest Editor Joel Swanson + http://scale.ucsd.edu/
by Jon Phillips 04 Sep '04

04 Sep '04

Greetings, + please forward + This email is a call for submissions from theorists and practitioners in the following fields: Art, Architecture, Communication, Comparative Philosophy, Computation, Computer Audio, Critical Theory, Design, Literature, Media (New and Old), Music, Performance, and Software Design. SCALE (http://scale.ucsd.edu) would like to encourage you to submit "work" for its upcoming online-only August & September issue. SCALE is a non-profit journal that explores new modes of production and dissemination based on open-source and networked communities. The theme for the August/September SCALE is APOCALYPSE. As we look forward to the coming election in November, it seems prudent to reinvest ourselves in exploring the possibilities of our own self-destruction. Often rooted in religious and science-fiction genres, apocalyptic themes have proven fruitful as a framework from which to question our collective hopes, fears, and concerns, on a local and universal scale. In your submissions, feel free to explore and exploit your personal imaginations of APOCALYPSE as a loose starting point for your submission. Please keep in mind that SCALE likes to abide by terms obliquely, and as such encourages all types of submissions, from dirty sketches and musings, to polished images and essays. Initially formulated within the graduate programs of the Visual Arts at the University of California, San Diego, SCALE was created by Jon Phillips (http://www.rejon.org) and Patrick W. Deegan (http://www.pwdeegan.org) as a strategy of response to a growing interest in developing Open Source communities across the globe. SCALE is a monthly publication living in both PDF print and online PDF/WIKI format. +++++++++++++ SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS: + Additional instructions for submission can be found at http://scale.ucsd.edu under “Read the File and Style Guidelines.” + Text or Image submissions must be in PDF format NOT exceeding 10MB and 8.5” x 11”in dimension. Because this month is ONLINE-ONLY, color submissions are encouraged. Images must be 300dpi. + Multimedia submissions will be hyperlinked for download from a page within in the compiled PDF publication. If submitting a file for linkage, it is recommended you also submit some type of graphic image in consideration of how your piece will be represented in the layout. By doing so, we can include the URL to your file within the image provided by you. If other circumstances are desired, please let us know. + For Multimedia submissions, please upload the actual file and NOT the URL to where it is located on behalf of your own site. WE WILL BE HOSTING THESE FILES ON THE SCALE SERVER. However, mentions of your respective websites are allowed. + All work submitted will be initially accredited to you unless suggested otherwise, however, in its online format the work will be deemed Open Content (as defined by http://www.creativecommons.org) and could possibly be subject to artistic reinterpretation (at a later date) on behalf of SCALE’s community of readers. +++++++++++++ DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS: + The submission process begins now and ends effectively on Monday, September 20, 2004. + In the week to follow, we will be compiling and publishing the online-only August/September issue. + Submissions, progress, and status can be immediately checked online. +++++++++++++ If you have any questions, please contact any of us directly. Thank you. We look forward to your submissions . . .

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Re: Select Under

> But how to `modifie with the mouse` the object below ? > For example : > I select an object that is below an other, > and after this want to move it; a click-drag on this selected area > select and move the object at the top. You can resize/rotate/skew the object that you selected by alt-click as usual with handles, and you can move it with arrow keys (I always use arrows for moving). However you are right that dragging such object with mouse won't work because it will switch the selection to the topmost object again. I think what we need is a new Alt+drag mode which would mean "drag what is selected now, without selecting anything else no matter where I start the drag." I will think about it some more and if I don't find any problems with this idea I'll implement it.
