OPERATIONS BOOLEAN WITH TRACKS
by Fernando Cuesta Núñez 24 Oct '14

24 Oct '14

Hello there: I want to make the operation "D*ifference*" with two tracks. One of them is a group created with a clon in mosaic: one straight line 1 x 30 column and turned 6º. The other track is a square that it was converted into an object. If I apply the operation *Difference *the information bar says: one of the objects is not a track and it can't do the boolean operation I don't understand why there is an object different than a track. Thanks in advance. Fernando

Re: [Inkscape-user] New extension for seamless pattern and tesselations

Oh, I see. I didn't realize it was a template. I thought that was just an example. Would it be possible to have Guides around the yellow square inside the gray square? It would make something to snap to, for a good alignment. I guess the user can unlock those, and add guides themselves. But since it's a template, it would be convenient if the guides were already in place.....if it's possible. Maybe not possible, since the guides would have to know where they belong, depending on the size they choose. But just a thought :-) Thanks for making this, and thanks for your help :-) By the way, maybe you want to answer this: https://answers.launchpad.net/inkscape/+question/255633 ? Or if you don't mind, I could post a link to the template, if you don't have time. Thanks again :-) -------------------------------------------------- From: "Jabiertxo Arraiza Cenoz" <jabier.arraiza@...2982...> Sent: Saturday, October 18, 2014 11:56 AM To: "Brynn" <brynn@...3089...> Subject: Re: [Inkscape-user] New extension for seamless pattern and tesselations

Freedom from systemd
by Steve Litt 17 Oct '14

17 Oct '14

Hi all, On Debian Wheezy, a look at dependencies indicates that Inscape depends on dbus, via libgnomevfs2-0 and some other dependency routes. Modern dbus has been co-opted by systemd, which I, and a lot of other people, are refusing to put on their computers. What would it take to get rid of all direct and indirect dependencies on systemd? Thanks, SteveT Steve Litt * http://www.troubleshooters.com/ Troubleshooting Training * Human Performance

Snap of non-scaled contours and snap with alignment function
by Knut Bredemeier 16 Oct '14

16 Oct '14

Dear Inkscape experts, I'm just testing the useful features of snapping but there are some points why I find the handling of this feature by Adobe products easier. Maybe you can help me with my problems (I'm using Inkscape-0.91pre2-1): 1) Snap of non-scaled contours I've disabled the scaling of contous. When I take a line with an arrow end and snap it to a path or anything the countour is scaled during the procedure and when I release the mouse button the countour scales back to the original but this also moves the snapped point. This is definately not a feature. Is there anyone whi discovered the same effect or is there maybe a workaround oder is it a bug? 2) Snap with alignment I'd like to scale one side of an rectangle and snap it to a boundary of another rectangle which has some distance. In Adobe Illustrator I can move over the path to be aligned to and now this path is included in the snapping selection. This is a very useful handling. Has someone an idea if this is possible or might been included in future versions? Knut

Getting Inkscape to work with a graphic tablet (XP-pen)
by Michael Grosberg 11 Oct '14

11 Oct '14

So I just bought this cheap pressure-sensitive graphic tablet for my home rig. It doesn't do all that the big league tablets (i.e. Wacom) can do - no tilt detection for example - but who needs that? it's the pressure that I care about. Anyway, it works admirably with Photoshop, Krita, and Blender, But I can't seem to get it to work with Inkscape. I can see it's recognized in the Input Devices dialog: tablet and pen are there. I enabled the pen and set it to use screen coordinates. moving the cursor works, no problem. But drawing doesn't. When I try to draw something - anything, pen, pencil, rectangle, circle - nothing happens. Well, not quite nothing. using the pen is supposed to be equivalent to a left click but it seems to invoke the right-click menu sometimes. Other times it seems to shift the view, zooming in and panning to the left. Yet other times it does nothing. Anybody got suggestions as for what I could try to do to fix it? If it helps, this is the model I have - http://www.xp-pen.com/products/960.htm And I'm using Inkscape 0.91 pre-2 on a Windows 7 64bit machine.

Can Inkscape convert PNG into true SVG?
by Ian Yang 11 Oct '14

11 Oct '14

I tried converting a PNG into a SVG. But what Inkscape did was just embed the PNG into the SVG. That isn't what I want and the created SVG can't be re-sized appropriately on web browsers like a true SVG. Can Inkscape convert PNG into true SVG?

Yes. Once the PNG image is loaded in, select it and then perform a "trace bitmap" on it. Ian Yang <ian.html@...155...> wrote: >I tried converting a PNG into a SVG.

Suggestions for tiling a car wrap
by John Fisher 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

I am building a tiny electric car, and it has bikini-level fiberglas body components, about 30 sq ft. We've settled on a fish-scale graphic design to be done with vinyl car-wrap. I've never done a big tiling job, and I'd like to have a lot of color&detail variation, very much like a real fish. Any suggestions, or a tutorial I missed? -- John Fisher Znyx Networks
