Rounded corners
by Abrolag 22 Oct '13

22 Oct '13

For some reason, every time I try to draw a square I get rounded corners. I don't want this but can't find out how to stop it, so currently I draw squares by using the draw lines tool and making a closed shape. This is daft! This problem has onl;y occurred since I moved from debian stable to debian testing. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune.

Inkscape Website: Translation Instructions
by Martin Owens 14 Oct '13

14 Oct '13

Hey Devs and Users, I've updated the wiki explaining the new Inkscape website's translation instructions. New translations have accidentally overwritten the English content in some places (especially the front page) so to avoid this I've put together a brief explanation of why the front page is hard to edit. http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/WebSite#Translations Please do copy plugins into your local language instead of editing the English versions. All editors are reminded that each language can have different plugins for the same content-location if they wish. Website: http://staging.inkscape.org If you don't have an account and would like to help get content ready, login and send me an email so I can enable staff privileges for you and have you editing the CMS. Happy Editing, Martin Owens

Hi, Just installed Sabayon Linux with a KDE desktop... I installed Inkscape 0.48. When I go to File --> Import... expecting to find import clip art... not there. Question: What to do to enable it...? (I pasted 'openclipart.org' in the import/export preferences, didn't help). Thanks for any advice. Henry

Thanks

I've dabbled in the past few years with Inkscape, and for me it was a bit like the GIMP - served a purpose but felt a bit unwieldy. I've recently been doing a few favicon's with the latest release, and SVG images for a game's splash screen, and I'm just extremely impressed with what you people involved have put together with Inkscape. Bloody good job, and thankyou. A brilliant effort. Cheers, Joe

joint-and-wire-type polylines/fixed length line segments?
by Amy 26 Sep '13

26 Sep '13

Hi, I'm after some functionality in Inkscape but unfortunately I don't know what it's called, but I will try to describe it: 1. I draw a polyline (a path of straight line segments with a few nodes). 2. I use the node tool to grab one of the nodes and reposition it. Currently in Inkscape when I do (2) the line segments either side of the node adjust their lengths to accomodate the new position of the node. What I'm after is where the entire line is treated as if the segments were *rigid* (i.e. fixed length) and think of the nodes as hinges. So I drag one of the nodes to a new position, and by virtue of the fixed length line segments the rest of the line is dragged with the node, to some extent. For example you could imagine if I had a straight line with two segments and nodes A/B/C: (A) --- (B) --- (C) If I grab (B) and drag it upwards, this is what Inkscape does (on the left) compared to what I want (on the right): (B) | (B) / \ | / \ / \ | / \ / \ | (A) (C) / \ | / \ | / \ | / \ | (A) (C) | (it renders OK for me in monospace) On the left, the segments AB and BC are lengthened and A and C remain in their original positions. On the right, AB and BC preserve their length, and as a result the entire line is dragged upwards. The particulars of exactly how (A) and (C) reposition themselves is not important to me, as long as they act in a way consistent with AB and BC having the same length before and after. 1. what is this feature called (so I can ask about it/search for it better)? 2. Does Inkscape support this? (say I can toggle between the fixed-length and variable-length modes)? cheers, Amy

divide overlapping objects
by Maarten van der Velde 24 Sep '13

24 Sep '13

If I have three overlapping objects (closed paths), is there a easy way to 'split them up'/divide them using the borders where they intersect? The 'boolean operations' seem to either divide one object by the other, removing the top-most one, *or* cut the path (outline) of one using the other. Conceptually, if I got three cirlcles, each one overlapping partially all the others, after this operation, I'd like to end up with 7 separated parts. Thanks!
