Drawing dotted

[lobopk2]

I am using the Eggbot and a program called StippleGen_2, which when you put a face, what it does is give you the test points, is exactly what I want, but let me point close together.

For this role very well, but to drill holes not okay, because some points are very close, then my problem is to separate the points.

Such that all points were separated 1mm, that may not be the points closer to 1mm from each other.

moment with this program has no such settings, someone has idea how can I do this in inkscape? in some simple way.

I think I'll have to put points by hand one by one, but I need some kind of guide, where you know that I put that point, no more than 1mm closer to the next closest point and well with everyone else.

I hope the pictures help to understand what I say, I am Spanish and use google traslator, thank you for helping exfuerzo twice.

Dire I've tried, for example, make a circle, and this what I reduced after double hize the dotted line in the points I made another layer, but I did not went well distances.

I have also progado with the grid guide and put a small square at each point, but I have not quite clear.

There might be some program to do this and then pass it to inkscape, no, I need some light to the subject

I looked up StippleGen_2 (http://www.evilmadscientist.com/2012/stipplegen2/).  It looks like the dots are supposed to be closer towards the center of the image, and further away towards the edges.  From the images on that page (the 3rd one from top, shows a control screen) it looks like the size and distance of the dots can be controlled.

Please see second attached image.

In green rectangle:
MIN. DOT SIZE (minimum dot size) - from google:  tama?o m?nimo de punto; from bing:  tama?o de punto m?nimo

In blue rectangle:
DOT SIZE RANGE - from google:  rango de tama?o de punto; from bing:  rango de tama?o del punto

In pink rectangle:
STIPPLES - it looks like that means the number of stipples, or How Many Dots  ?Cu?ntos puntos

In yellow rectangle:
WHITE CUTOFF - I'm not sure what that really means.  Maybe something like "white edge" (borde blanco) or "edge of brightness" (borde de brillo)???

The units for those values is not clear.  I'm not sure if the units are pixels or mm or what?  Maybe they are relative?

Let me know if I can translate any of the other controls for you.

In case that doesn't help, I'll answer the question you asked.  There is no easy way to make the dots spaced precisely the same distance apart.  However, there are a couple of settings in the Align and Distribute dialog (Shift + Ctrl + A) which might help.  This button  :uncl: .  Or just below that, the section called "Remove Overlaps" google:  eliminar las coincidencias; bing:  eliminar superposiciones.  H = horizontal, V = vertical  (see first attachment).

Somewhere, I think there is your answer

If you want to make manual adjustments on a generated dotted image -where those dots are represented by separate circles-
you can change the fill and stroke settings first.

Add a stroke, with a lowered alpha value, like 0,255,128,128 on the hue-saturation-lightness-alpha channells.
After that you can approximate the right position of the dots much better.
When finished, set no strokes.

Another option that might help, is the above mentioned align and distribute panel's unclump.



Other than manual editing, there are two ways I can think of to draw something alike with inkscape.
One is, using tiled clones.


Another one, is to play with the trace bitmap.
In this case for example, you can make the raster image to a black filled path.
Make a custom fill pattern to it, that has black squares at whole pixel coordinates, then
replace it with a raster image (Alt+B), and trace bitmap that second raster image.


Maybe there are others as well, related to voronoi pattern, with the 0.91 version.

Thank you both, again overcoming the language barrier, it is exactly what I wanted, although it has not earned me an automatic way the program StippleGen_2 because that option does not, but with your advice, so if I miss it myself a template.
Then the only thing you have to do is put a layer where the drawing will eliminate the points that I do not want and I have all the points I need your optimal distance.

Thank you very much again for your selfless help.

brynn is the second time you help me

You're welcome.  (de nada)

Too bad you were not able to get the spacing you wanted with Stipple Gen.  But I'm glad you found another way to do it
