Yes, the side you linked to, derives the coordinates for the controll-points by assuming the bezier should touch half-ways. When I took my inkscape generated numbers and checked the coordinates I found, that the controll points' coordinates use precisely this "kappa". That's why I conclude...

@vince: Your remark got me thinking: If you write a path like: m2,0 6,8 4,5 ... this looks like a "chain" of coordinates, when added one to the previous give you a "chain" of points: that picture seems to fit to the idea of "the moving point" and leads to the missunders...

Hello, I have just gotten an answer from the Free Software Foundation; to say it in short: upstream software has to provide the same type of license, i.e. no incorporation of free software into commercial software (unless your commercial software is for free as well :o) ). The only way to use the so...

Hello, I'm currently evaluating Inkscape and some other commercial tools for use in the commercial software of the company I work for. As far as I understand, the GNU GPLv2 license regulates copying, distribution and modification of inkscape - but what if we want to incorporate some features in our ...

@vince: You are probably right, when you say that there is no "strong relationship" between the two control points. Neither are there between the first point and the control points - you can choose them as you want/ have to. I don't want to argue: the only thing I would have liked to see s...

Hello, meanwhile I found out, what is going wrong, thanks for the answers so far - next time I will post more details. The reason, why I approximate a circle with four Beziers is, that inkscape does so, when I load my PDF and convert it to SVG. Editing by hand is no option, since I have a lot of PDF...

Hello, I have got the following problem: I use Inkscape to import a PDF that contains a vector graphic and export to normal svg. When I use Inkscape or Firefox to view the generated svg file everything is ok. When I parse the svg using C# code and try to draw what I parsed on a C# Windows Form, some...
