I have tried another approach, using node sculpting, but it did not work neither at least for me. I think this may be a problem with all Ubuntu instalation also: if I try to drag the mouse while presing ALT key to "sculpt" nodes, inkscape does nothing and after a while moving the mouse, th...

Envelope does not work on my Inkscape, it gives an error and does nothing.

I am using 0.48 on an Ubuntu 11.10.

Hi brynn, Well, what I do now is to move the object that containst the pattern outside the document boundaries over the white background, and play with the zoom until I find it. Sometimes I also need to apply some transparency to the object itself, because the X is over the pattern and difficult to ...

Hi,

Sometimes finding the cross (X) for moving a pattern within a shape is more difficult than the worst "Where is Wally" you can imagine. Is there any easier way to find it than broken your eyes agaisnt the display?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Hi brynn, I use different char sizes here just to ilustrate the ideas, as they are available in this forum, but it is not exactly what I want, since to fit my real needs the same character may be wider at the start than at its end. I do not care too much if I cannot edit the text anymore, so convert...

I have 0,48, but where is the option to do so?

This inverted Y axis is a pain in the nose, you know. If you create graphics for other applications, or games, you are obliterated to do a lot of stupid calculations to translate positions of your objects in inkscape to the other system.

Hi,

Is there any fast & easy way to strecth text? I mean to stretch a text expression in a way that the start could be taller than the end, something like this:

Potatoe

Thanks a lot in advance,

Thank you very much. I will try it asap.

Thanks to both, I will try ASAP.

Hi,

Is there any fast way to convert a perfect circle object in a rougher shape? I mean, being still a circle but with the stroke like done by a shaking hand or so...

Thanks in advance,

Hi, Has someone any tutorial on making realistic holes in a paper with inkscape? I mean those holes with the paper ripped... I tried searching in google, but I think I did not find the exact terms. My English is far for being the best... I mean something like these on the right: http://freepsdfiles....

I replied in another topic of yours, but you can find some extensions that may not be available in your Inkscape version, here: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/ExtensionsRepository. I'm not sure which are the ones being discussed here, but there are 2 or 3 that sound like they might work. I...

Yes, there is an alternative web slicer extension in r0.48. It seems to work just fine even though it throws up an error. It will even piece your slices together with html+css for viewing. The concept is pretty much the same though. You will place slicer images on a web slicer layer and the script ...

Hi there, I have an Acer Aspire 9423WSMi a bit old, with an Intel Core 2 Duo T5500 @ 1,66 MHz and 1 GB of RAM, and also an nVidia GeForce Go 7300. Things with The Gimp goes fast enough for my work, since effects are not applied in real time. But with Inkscape, and complex SVG in general, is slower t...

Hi,

Thank you, I have seen that movie and i have now it pretty clear. Also I have seen that in my version there is a pre-installed slider extension that may help to do it even easier, saving all slices at once.

I will give it a try very soon.

Thank you again.

Oh, please, you do not need neither to apologize nor to give my money back

Thank you very much for your help.

We Ubuntu users are a growing team of Microsoft-free rebels!!

Hi, As I told before, I have experience on The Gimp, and I was using it to design webpages, but for several reasons I think a vectorial drawing application like Inkscape has many advantages. Well, at this time I have been able to learn enough to design my firsts webpages with Inkscape -many thanks t...

Just perfect.

Hi, I have dragged the command toolbar by an accident and now I am not able to redock it in its place. I tried moving it to its original position but it keeps "floating" instead of docking. I have tried also dragging the snap toolbar and now I have two problems instead of just one X-D sinc...

Hi, I have work with The Gimp, but this kind of things are pretty different. In The Gimp you work with layers, and there is no way to select many layers at once, as there is no need to do it neither for most of the operation. You can, anyway, "lock" many layers for moving them at once, but...

Thank you both. Your answers has been really useful to me.

Hi, I asked yesterday on how to select an object below another, having both selected for aplying one as a mask to the other. It is a real problem when the mask is bigger or same size than the object. It was not published, perhaps it seems to be a very basic question, but I have not find answer no wh...

Thanks a lot, but I am facing very basic problems though. I have search about selecting objects, but I did not find the way to select both the mask and the underlaying object while the mask is over it, since the mask object has the same size (in fact it is cloned from the original one)... Any hint o...

Hi there, This is my first message in this forum, but I hope to visit it often. My name's Francisco (Fran for friends), and I am from Spain. I have wide experience with programs like The Gimp, but no experience at all with vectorial drawing like Inkscape, neither Illustrator or so... I have done bas...
