Re: [Inkscape-user] How to make shadows with inkscape?
with reguard to this specific example, select the object, then go to
object > ungroup
you will see he just did that trick.
of copying the yellow one, turning it gray, lowering it to the background, and moving it about 3 spaces to the right and 6 to the bottom, then grouped them.

Hi,
how would I create an object with a shadow with inkscape?
I have attached an example. It is a stripped down SVG file taken from http://www.germane-software.com/software/SVG/SVG::Graph/ which uses a ruby library to generate charts (including pie charts with shadows) in SVG.
Basically, the shadow is just a translated copy of the main object, black, and blurred.
Any chance to generate such a shadow in inkscape?

Thanks for the hint, but that missed the point. Inkscape simply can't display the special feature of that file I've posted.
The question is not how to create a displaced grey object, but how to create a *blurred* object.
In applications other than inkscape that shadow is blurred. Looks *much* better than what inkscape is displaying. Just use rsvg to render it.
Any idea how to make inkscape correctly render blurred (i.e. filtered) objects? How to edit them?

Last I checked Inkscape doesn't support the filters yet. Why? Dunno, I'm sure the developers are aware of it and haven't had the need to scratch that particular itch.

That's not true -- I really, really want SVG filters. But I don't have time to implement them right now.

Probably needs some coding. Your best bet is to look at the "Feature Requests" link from inkscape.org. A quick search there turns up these existing requests:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1429915&group_id=93438&atid=604309 http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=863380&group_id=93438&atid=604309
Remember, you're using a program that's not at 1.0 yet, so there's a lot of missing functionality.

Oh, that's simple: just go in and code support for it into Inkscape.
:-)
First thing to do is check the Roadmap (there's a link on the left of the main page) http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Roadmap
That shows filters are not quite in yet,
Searching the RFE's is also a very good way to check (we don't leave RFE's open for features that are already in)
