Image compressing according to the math formula

Postby innocent » Tue Sep 07, 2010 10:07 pm

Hi,
For digital printing of images on curved surfaces requires resizing (compressing) the image according to the surface changes.
For example to print "a round pen" : Seen from above is the surface of the pen not flat - to print image equally spread over 180degrees (in fact it would be some less about 160degrees) has the image be resized according to the math formula of the circle. In the middle no compression - how further you go to the side of the pen how more should it be compressed.
Is this possible to compress in inkscape the image according to the mat formula? Or one step back: Is possible to compress the image in particular places of the image?

Best regards,
Inno
