Hi all,
I've been making a lot of graphs lately, and have found Inkscape quite useful for prettying them up. I stuck a couple screenshots on the website:
http://inkscape.osuosl.org/screenshots/svg_tt_graph_bar_before.png http://inkscape.osuosl.org/screenshots/svg_tt_graph_bar_after.png
The first is the raw graph produced by the SVG::TT::Graph::Bar module from CPAN. This is a handy module but it doesn't give as much control over appearance as I wished... But in Inkscape I tinkered with it a good bit, and got the latter.
I made good use of the grid, paste in place, and layers for this. Took about 20 min total.

Hi folks,
I'm trying to install and explain to enjoy Inkscape 0.42 to an old friend of mine, equipped with a Windows98/Pentium II/32MbRam (yes, 32 !) but it didn't ! I also read developers can't follow this operating system so I wanna ask :
Can I install a free linux distro and hopeing to install succesfully my beloved Inkscape on this notebook (it has 1,4Gb hard Disk) ?
Many thanks guys !
R.

Is that one 4GB hard disk, or a 1.4GB hard disk... either way, with something that low on resources, I'd personally recommend DSL (Damn Small Linux). They do have Inkscape available as a package for it as well, but with that little amount of RAM I can't say how well it will do performance-wise.

One other choice might be Grafpup
It's another small distro that includes Inkscape, and can be run as a live CD or from a USB key.
