Thanks Moini.

Hi, I'm trying to solve an issue with Inkscape PNG export, that I encountered. I grabbed the source, but I see two PNG exporters in there: cairo-exporter and libpng-exporter. Which one is used by inkscape by default? So I know where I should look. The issue at hand: If the SVG background colour has ...

Tried to clean the fontcache?

Code: Select all

rm ~/.fontconfig/*

This helped. I can now run 0.46 again.
BTW: At first I removed the .fontconfig directory entirely, causing both inkscape versions to silently fail.
When I created an empty .fontconfig directory, I could run 0.46 again.

Thanks,

And I am having trouble running 0.46 again (even after removing the fontconfig tag). When Inkscape 0.46 crashes, try this: before clicking 'ok' in the information dialog box about internal error or emergency save, open the Activity Monitor, select 'inkscape-bin' and inspect the process (Cmd + I), s...

@Slow Dog - the main draw-back of the 'effect/python-extension' version: it's not live But has the huge advantage of actually working for this purpose, whereas the live version doesn't. 'Bend' can be applied to a (nested) group of paths (patterns), whereas 'Pattern along path' is applied to a singl...

Maybe I should take a few steps back, and actually show what I am trying to accomplish. I've attached a SVG that kinda shows my intentions. I want to have an undulating terrain with hills and such, that follows the curve on the right, but looks like the pattern on the left. The grass is always at th...

The Blend and Pattern Along Path LPEs are very confusing. The manual is not clear about these LPEs. The main problem is the following: For Blend , you apply the effect to the 'pattern' (which is not really a pattern in the inkscape-fill-property sense). Just a path. For Pattern-Along-Path , you appl...

Hi, Is it possible to have multiple patterns along the same path? If I combine the patterns before applying, the patterns will assume the same fill/stroke styles, and will be the same colour. I have multiple patterns, all different colours, and I want them applied to a single path using the LPE &quo...

Suv,

thanks for the suggestions.
The path effects 'Bend Path' and 'Pattern along path' are roughly doing what I need I guess.
However, those are not too stable at the moment. (using the jul2009 bld)
It's easy to freeze inkscape when editing a skeleton path.

Hello, So far, I have only been able to scale/rotate/translate a pattern uniformly on an object. However, what if I want to have the pattern mapped non-uniformly onto a shape? I want to achieve something similar to regular OpenGL texture coordinates: e.g. a square with texture coordinates like these...
