Hmm. the last subject used in a post seems to show up in links to this thread instead of the original name of the thread.
Switching back to the original subject name....

When I initially searched for an inkscape "commandline", I didn't find the in-application interactive scripting environment I was hoping for but I did find references to inkscape commandline options. When I looked into the commandline options, I was shocked by how many of them there were a...

Brynn: You're referring to the "create diagram connectors" tool? Yes, that does what I want w/ lines (if I'm OK w/ having my lines stick to the center-point of an object) but I'd prefer to be able to do this w/ bezier curves and also to be able to bind to specific points on an object. Here...

I'm glad you like the cloud. The embedded DA link seems to work intermittently. I'm not sure why. I'm still trying to figure out how to use inkscape for better for diagramming. It'd be nice to know how to link the endpoint of a line to the cloud (or boxes, etc) so that the lines swing to stay connec...

I've discovered a way to use Dynamic Offsets of Star shapes to make simple Cloud shapes for use in Network diagrams. Start by selecting the "Star" tool. On the "new" menubar, enter "6" for the number of corners. Click on the center-point, where you'd like to draw your c...
