Sozi Problem (to be more Prezi-like)

Postby tester » Tue Apr 12, 2016 5:56 pm

Hello,

I am using the extension "Sozi" for creating some kind of a "Prezi"-like presentation.

So far it works great, but I need one additional function: If i view the presentation in a browser, the left-click (and also the right arrow) always brings you to your next frame (the one you determined in the sequence in Inkscape).
But I would need that you can click on the frame you want so see closer and it would zoom direct to this frame. Of course you can zoom in and out and also move through the presentation. But one simple click to the frame you want to see would be much more user-friendly.

Is there anything I can do to solve this problem?

Thank you so much!

Hi.

Haven't tried anything similar myself, but maybe checking this svg can give some hints.

More or less agree with with Lazur. I haven't see in in detail the sample, but I'm pretty sure you will need to use Javascript

Take a look to this page about how to make a zoom effect over any part of a map:

I'd love to see your Sozi presentation. Which is the subject?
If you have problems:
1.- Post a sample (or samples) of your file please.

If I remember correctly, there's also an option to zoom in when you switch from one frame to the next...

Or maybe you'd like to use the new sozi version, which is a standalone program (the extension is no longer being developed):

Thank you so far!

But I fear, the suggested solutions does not solve my problem. The new version (Sozi 16) is great, but does not offer a "free zooming function".

The examples of Lazur and hulf2012 are a step forward, but still too unhandy. The javascript looks quite complicated and would not fulfill my desire because you need a lot of clicks to get to your desired part of the map or presentation.

I know it that I am searching for "Prezi" in an open source manner. Are there alternatives, maybe a different software?

Thank you guys!

I'm not familiar with Prezi, so I have no idea what kind of feature you're after. But there are other presentation extensions or programs that you can use with Inkscape. Please find info here: https://inkscape.org/en/learn/animation/. Maybe one will have what you need?
