Hi Darkwasel I could work in this feature, is similar than BSpline one. https://code.launchpad.net/~inktxof/inkscape/bspline+spirolive Here are a interesting point about it http://tavmjong.free.fr/blog/?p=647 < It is still to be decided if generic paths will have this option. Is interesting know the resolution of this part. And in http://tavmjong.free.fr/blog/ there is a lot of work to do. Regards, Jabier.

New grid creation extensions for inkscape available
by Carl Sorensen 22 Nov '13

22 Nov '13

Hi, all. I've created three new grid creation extensions for inkscape. The first is an update to Cartesian Grid that allows the use of real units (inch, mm, cm, point) in addition to pixels and allows adjusting the color of each graphic element (Border, X Major grid, X minor grid, X sub minor grid, Y major grid, Y minor grid, Y sub minor grid). The second is a triangular grid creator that can be used to create grids with triangular meshes. The third is a perspective grid creator that creates adjustable 2-point perspective grids. Each of these grids can be useful for hand sketching aids, which is why I created them. You can get the extensions at: https://github.com/cds4/inkscape-grids I hope you find them helpful. Thanks, Carl Sorensen

Hi, I've been working on a simple design for a logo. For some strange reason, when I try to convert the lines to an outlined path, I loose some rounded corners, while others remain. The issue is highlighted with a red circle. File can be fount here: http://veiligheidspictogrammen.be/bugs/line_to_outline.svg Can someone explain this to me?

Make document square; keep contents centered
by Ian Pilcher 14 Nov '13

14 Nov '13

I feel like I must be missing something *really* obvious, but I can't figure out how to do this. I have a rectangular document that I need to make square, while keeping the contents centered. I.e., I need to add equal amounts to the left and right side of the document. How can I do this? I've tried simply entering the desired margin sizes in the Document Properties dialog, but it has no effect. Changing the width of the document to match the height extends the document to the right, but it leaves the contents in their current position, which is now shifted to the left. Thanks! -- ======================================================================== Ian Pilcher arequipeno@...155...

Layers (was: Make document square; keep contents centered)

A common scenario: Text Layer Object layer 3 Object layer 2 Object layer 1 Background layer Each one containing a fairly large number of objects/groups/etc. Once you're dealing with hundreds or maybe thousands of objects, selections can get nutty - layers really help out there. eg you can lock or hide all the other layers and do a 'select all' on an object layer.

Extension to align boxes around text
by Terry Brown 13 Nov '13

13 Nov '13

Lots of bits of text with boxes around them? Here's an extension to automatically resize all the boxes to fit all the texts with specified padding, all at once. You just draw the boxes approximately in the right place and the extension tidies everything up. https://gist.github.com/tbnorth/7420972 Perhaps something like this could be bundled with Inkscape? Cheers -Terry

New standard location of X11: /Applications/Utilities/XQuartz.app
by Andrew Pennebaker 30 Oct '13

30 Oct '13

In recent versions of Mac OS X and X11, X11 installs as /Applications/Utilities/XQuartz.app. Could Inkscape look there by default, before asking the user to Browse for it? Most users wouldn't even know where to look for X11, especially since it's now called XQuartz. -- Cheers, Andrew Pennebaker apennebaker@...3047...
