Script-based extensions can't create new widgets to interactively change objects on-canvas, nor are selected nodes passed to the extension script (only the id's of selected objects). That's probably better this way. Better solve this kind of matter at application's core level rather than via plug‑i...

I re-checked the documentation, and seems there is no way. I could find some useful keystroke to edit handles, but some does not work (may be French keyboards are not fully supported) and this is not handy anyway: too much to remember without any help from the status bar, which does not provide any ...

Although not all cases need the group to be a layer You are obviously right. May be an heuristic would be to treat each apart, top‑level groups and nested‑groups (groups inside of a parent group) . First candidate to become layers would better be top‑level ones. But you are also right, the idea of ...

I wanted to give it a try, but I can't access python files on the above provided SourceForge link. Is it moved ?

Hi all once again, Just wondered if, with paths, I can select an handle just like the way I can select a vertex, and move it with keyboards key like I can do with vertex. When a vertex is selected, I can move it with keyboard's arrow key, which is sometime more handy than dragging with the mouse. Es...

I suspected this, due to the name svg:g , but erroneously believed svg:g was probably a layer in SVG designer's mind. I am just seasoned with Inkscape, so I may not, but I wish a future day I will try to design a tiny plugin which automatically ensure all group elements has a groupmode attribute. Th...

Hi all graphic designers, It seems Inkscape does not directly recognize SVG layers, and requires all svg:g elements hold this attributes: inkscape:groupmode="layer" Otherwise Inkscape will not handle as layer, any layer not holding this attribute-value pair. What's the rational for this ?

@ Hibou57 Take a look for rsvg for Windows: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/librsvg/2.32/ You will also need to find rsvg-convert.exe application (from dev package). It's LGPL but may be enough. I could test “rsvg-convert” on Windows with some SVG files, and was surprised : this reall...

By the way, I wonder if this could be a good to seek for to have a distinction between model and render with SVG, just like the way there is one with 3D design. I'm not familiar with 3D design, but Inkscape extensions have a Live Preview option. Reading your quote from my own post, I feel some days...

Thanks for the point MicroUgly, this may be of interest for other readers in this forum, but not me: I was seeking for a binary and standalone library (preferably with a C or Pascal ABI for easier binding). Well, I may just left this personal project in a pending status for more time (was something ...

AFAIU it is not recommended nor supported by the maintainers of the Windows port of GTK+ to use a system-wide GTK+ installation on Windows OK, I will seek for some more informations about that. About this specific issue (crash when opening document properties), most likely it's due to some changes ...

Here are some examples: http://www.flickr.com/photos/35772571@N03/3312087295/ http://simarilius.wordpress.com/2006/10/21/faking-irregular-gradients-in-inkscape/ you can interpolate paths or use a lot of nodes with vertical markers Pkros, the first picture is very nice indeed :) However, I feel it w...

The problem is Inkscape's copy of GTK ( and GTK Themes) conflicting with the system's version.

I've just opened a topic about it : Inkscape and the system wide GTK Runtime on Windows

Hi all, Inkscape relies on GTK, GTK a mostly widely used library. There is a system wide GTK Runtime available on Windows (if installed). Many application built upon GTK, does not check for this GTK Runtime. One of the main consequence among others (like useless redundancy) is that it prevent these ...

Hello, I first tried looking at all menu trying everything, then searched the web, but could not find about what I am seeking for. Is there a trick to get gradient along a path (like a curved path) in Inkscape ? I tried with “Pattern along w path” using a bitmap with the expected gradient color, but...

Hi all, I wanted to know if some one ever heard of something I am looking for : an SVG to PNG convertion library under BSD license. I guess this may not exist, as stuffs like handling fonts, text drawing and etc. are likely to be not a peace of cake. However, I am just asking about it, if ever someo...

[...] I highly recommend getting a monitor that can be used in portrait mode. Landscape is a ratio most suitably used for movies and games. Portrait is much better for viewing documents, writing code, browsing the web. [...] In the mean time, multipane-UIs, which are common in the editing and brows...

Hi, an update to the discussion : there is still an issue with matrix color transformation (in filter effects), which use channel ratios and further more, the three channels are separated. Those cases mut still be manually handled.

You can't do this with flat colours, but gradients work exactly as you described. You can use gradients to get the functionality you want. You can even edit the gradient in the XML and delete colour stops so it only has one colour stop so it's a little easier to manage a flat colour. Ah, ok, I see....

By the way, if I'm allowed to do so, I would like to get your opinions about colors for an online application (an XML editor, its in french, but don't mind, the matter is colors) . At the time it looks like : http://www.lasidore.rasama.org It was looking like this before : http://img7.imageshack.us/...

Hello, and thanks for your replies , I failed to explain what I was meaning. I will try in other words. Let say I got an image, with many objects. Let focus on one object, a square : it is blue, color 0000FF. Now let say I do not want the blue color to be explicite, but rather symbolic, for exampe “...

Hello, I'm looking for a special thing without beeing sure it is possible with Inkscape : to create an Inkscape image using indexed or symbolic color references so that I could switch from a palette to another without needing to change each color reference in the image. I do not know if I'm clear, ...

Great it works fine, I can add annotations to objects and groups. By the way, there is a new wonderful stuff in version 0.47 : it is now possible to move an object from one layer to another. I do not need anymore to use the XML editor for that. That's nice. Just a little bug : there is a new menu en...

I've found it here : http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32/?M=D

There are builds of the lastest versions for Windows

Gonna try it

Many thanks
