i've seen corel draw after a loooong time. it'd be nice if inkscape could do the extrusion and drop shadow effects. ok, extrusion is somewhat difficult, but the drop shadow is just another clone tool variation.
Not quite, because a drop shadow has to be blurred, and we can't blur vector objects yet. But this is doable via Make bitmap copy, I use it all the time:
wouldn't it be better to include a posibillity to create non-linear and non-circular gradients, that is, gradients that start somewhere inside the object and end at its borders. not just because of drop shadow, but because it's a nice thing to do with vector graphics... or is it a svg limitation?
I'd really love to be able to do that. Circular gradients are sometimes very restricting. However, non elliptical/circular/linear gradients aren't part of the spec (see http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/pservers.html#RadialGradients). There might be a way to get the same sort of effect, but I'm not familiar enough with the spec to be able to tell you that.
