I see in the Help file 'tips' that blur drop shadows are not yet implemented. But that I should read the [[usr]/share/extensions/inkscape-shadow.README file.
I have here the a CVS version installed with Autopackage and it has the script inkscape-shadow.sh in /usr/share/inkscape/extensions/
I do see .sh files and a svg_dropshadow script. Can anyone tell be how to do blurred drop shadows in Inkscape now, in version .41?
The current method (used by inkscape-shadow.sh) is to generate a black bitmap copy of the image and blur it, using ImageMagik - the content of the script is just one line:
convert -mattecolor "#000f" -frame $((${2} * 3))x$((${2} * 3)) -fx '0' -channel A -blur $((${2} * 3))x${2} $1 $1
Okay, thanks, Nicu... I have the inkscape-shadow.sh script in the file tree. Now, can you tell me how Inkscape runs scripts? I know I've never been able to find where ImageMagick is on either of my two Linux boxes.
