To perform my clean install of Inkscape, I used the x64 package, just in case that makes a difference

Not planning to rewrite anything as such, but playing with future proofing the extensions I use ... mainly by adding the "from __future__ import {package} and then reporting back what breaks :) ... I'm not advanced enough to do more than that yet One thing I just noticed ... having just perform...

Have been away due to injury (somewhat better now) Latest Python versions (as of 2016-08-13) are 2.7.12 and 3.5.2 respectively, latest Python within Inkscape still appears to be 2.7.x presumably for compatibility reasons For development, I have opted to go with creating virtual environments ... Ink2...

I've been putting together a HexRing drawing for use in game mapping ... http://kstingel.com/svg/hexrings_mockup.svg if I can ever get my Python generation script to work, I plan on making the hextiles layer into an extension I've chosen to use path elements rather than stars for the Hexagons but I'...

On the debugging side ... I was able to resolve my Inkscape/Gimp error :) ... on Windows systems, ignore it as the extension isn't used In Ubuntu-Inkscape it magically went away once I had both Gimp and Inkscape installed - so it's definitely a Windows issue which as yet I haven't b...

@brynn: I have a few extensions in my global Python27 which I've used in my (current) Hex script, I was thinking I could just copy them across without the need to run pip install {blah} against Inkscape's Python I'm trying to write a Grid Extension to create Hexagonal Rings on the fly... both flat ...

Just wondering which version of Python (if any) Inkscape 0.91 (and future versions) is, or will be compiled to use by default in Windows I am running Windows 10 Pro 64-bit and have Python locally installed (both 2.7.11 and 3.5.1), I ask the question because I would like to be able to test my scripti...

Just some observations, but they may prove helpful to others... Pattern: re-used as a fill, can be used to fill any number of shapes - does not display when called as <use height="100%" width="100%" id="someUID" xlink:href="#def-pattern" y="0" x=&quo...

@Moini:
I'm guessing the page background is because the default in Inkscape seems to be a white background. If you tweak the XML and make the page background "none", will it save to XCF as transparent?

The Gimp functionality is not actually something I will miss, as I have never seen it work to know what it does

Windows Comp is much better speed/memory, I might have to plod on with current setup for a bit until I can have laptop serviced and upgraded

http://kstingel.com/svg/debugging/hex-world.svg example use of the tile-set - src file: http://kstingel.com/svg/debugging/hex-world.svg I suppose I should stop referring to it as a tile-set, since it's now a symbol set :D eventually, I'd like to script it so that I can set the status of neighbors a...

thanks hulf2012 and dimumurray for clearing up the stroke-alignment thing - I was convinced I was using it wrong and that was why it wasn't working

as an Inkscape noobie, is nice to know my comprehension of SVG is more advanced than the software (in some respects)

the example above had a whole heap of transforms applied to each use instance, with the use co-ords set as x="0" and y="0"
- I ended up hacking it in Notepad++ and moving the transforms over to the co-ords values then deleting the (empty) transform

@dimumurray: within my Symbols file, would I place each Symbol (template) in the same position? so, for example, if my final tile is going to be 20.79px deep by 24px wide (the measurement of my hex) draw each symbol into the same space then to create my examples, just "use" the symbol to t...

Moini: I'd love to go back to Linux, but all my Tools are Windows based
some of them have Linux ports, but the ports don't have full functionality yet

Since my Live server is CentOS ... would it be worthwhile firing up the (Ubuntu) laptop and just doing my Inkscape work there?

the Hex above will be the base tile for my map, with additional tiles depicting the variants would I be best served to use individual SVG images for my tiles, or create all the tiles in a single file? Person tile example: (only the central tile will display the face ... displayed tile is the Owner o...

The display lines from the src file: <g inkscape:label="Layer 1" inkscape:groupmode="layer" id="layer1"> <path id="hex-24px" stroke-alignment="inner" d="M 18,0 L 24,10.395 L 18,20.79 L 6,20.79 L 0,10.395 L 6,0 Z" style="opacity:1;fill:...

I'm trying to create a hex-tile for use in multiple future maps - each side is supposed to measure 24px Thus far, I have drawn the singleton tile but I don't understand the output I'm getting in Inkscape src file for reference: http://kstingel.com/svg/debugging/hex-single.svg this is the result I se...

I have also removed and reinstalled GIMP to a new path: C:\GIMP\bin\gimp-2.8.exe in an effort to exclude an problem caused by the space in "Program Files" within my (systemwide) Environment Options I have a specific "gimp" entry, directing to the new path ... GIMP is no longer in...

@Moini: gimp -h didn't work, but %gimp% --help pops up the Gimp help commands in a new cmd window after updating line 236 to "command = '%gimp% -i blahblah..." I'm still seeing the GIMP XCF error in my extension-errors.log is this because the original gimp_xcf.py file is still in the <inst...

Alternately, am I getting the Error because I'm running on Windows and the Gimp loader is no longer included?

Could it be it's looking for 'gimp' but you have gimp-2.8 ? You could modify the extension and try this out. You could also just enter the full path into the extension's python code. I haven't yet tried to modify an extension, I looked at the py file but I couldn't see where to add the path to gimp...

Within my extension errors log I have the following block: Extension "GIMP XCF" failed to load because a dependency was not met. Dependency: type: executable location: path string: gimp Within my PATH I have the followong snippet: C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\bin\gimp-2.8.exe Do I need to speci...
