Re: CommandLine: passing parameters to verbs

~suv — 2012-05-24T09:26:51


There is no way to pass parameters to verbs (with the current
implementation, they don't take parameters by design).

Related feature request:
- Bug #361237 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/361237>
  “Provide scriptable method of saving files”

Quoting from comment #1
«Verbs are not designed to take parameters (…)»


With regard to 'Align & Distribute': if additional verbs would be
created for individual commands in the dialog (e.g. also used for
keyboard shortcuts), you'd be able to use them from the command line as
well.

Related feature request (among others):
- Bug #189535 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/189535>
  “align by keys like (alt-v) vertical align (alt-h) horizontal align ”

Re: Failed to convert a pdf file to an eps file via inkscape.

~suv — 2012-05-24T09:12:22


AFAICT a known issue in cairo 1.10.x, tracked for Inkscape in

- Bug #813886 “Save as EPS or PS incomplete with cairo >= 1.10”
  <https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/813886>

In my tests the EPS file saves ok with cairo 1.8.10 and cairo 1.12.2,
but misses certain parts with cairo 1.10.2, independent of which
Inkscape version is used.


Based on your provided EPS file, Inkscape was using cairo 1.10.2 to
export to EPS:
%%Creator: cairo 1.10.2 (http://cairographics.org)


Which version of cairo was installed on that other system?


You didn't miss anything to be installed, nor is it a bug in newer
Inkscape versions. The problem is with cairo 1.10.x - independent of
which Inkscape version is used. Once linux distros have upgraded to the
current version of cairo (1.12.x), the problem will be gone.

CommandLine: passing parameters to verbs

Joscha Feth — 2012-05-24T08:38:47

Hello,

Is there a way to pass parameters to verbs, when using the inkscape
commandline? I can't seem to find anything, so my guess is no - but in any
case it would be needed for --verb=DialogAlignDistribute

Cheers,
Joscha

Re: Antw.: Re: editing .svg files

2012-05-23T21:32:18


This doesn't seem to work for me

It looks like the selection of objects via F1 is completely lost when I 
hit F2 (until I hit F1 again, at which time it looses the selection made 
by F2)

If I hit the arrow keys after F2 some things move, it I hit the arrow keys 
after hitting F1 other things move.

at one point I thought I had managed to grab the end of the paths, but now 
I'm not able to replicate that.

Is there some other svg editor that I should look at?

Re: editing .svg files

Tavmjong Bah — 2012-05-23T08:05:51

Inkscape does not have the ability to move a single point of a path
(line) and a rectangle (box) or text at the same time. The Selector tool
allows the moving of the block and the entire path. The Node tool allows
one to move nodes of a path but not the move the box.

There are two possible solutions:

1. You can convert everything to paths then you can use the node tool to
select the nodes of the box, text, and shadow paths, and one node of the
line path and move them together. Your text will no longer be searchable
or selectable.

2. You can insert into your SVG file during it's creation the Inkscape
specific attributes used by the Inkscape Connector tool that link paths
to objects. Then if you move a box, the line will follow. The Connector
tool does not handle more complex cases well (such as the one to many
relationships you have in your sample diagram). I believe at the moment,
only connections to the center of a block are implemented.

There has been discussion in the SVG Working group of defining a set of
connector elements that would handle automatically what you ask for but
at the moment nobody has stepped up to do the actual work needed to add
them to the SVG specification.

Failed to convert a pdf file to an eps file viainkscape.

Hedong Yang — 2012-05-23T08:01:50

Hi all,

I ran the Inkscape, opened the pdf file and then "save a copy" in the
eps format. As shown in the attached files, the coordinate information
is missed in the converted eps file.

The information about the my computer and Inkscape is listed as follows.
OS: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS amd64
Inkscape : 0.48.3.1 r9886 (Installed from the Canonical source)

While I tried on another machine with Inkscape 0.48.2 r9819, the
conversion is perfectly done as expected.

So have I missed something to be installed? Or is there a bug for the
newer version of Inkscape?

Suggestions are welcome!

Regards,
Hedong

Re: Antw.: Re: editing .svg files

2012-05-22T21:21:54

this svg file is not created inside inkscape, it's created with a separate 
tool.

nsdiag is part of the blockdiag.com set of tools, it lets you take a small 
text file and create a svg diagram. I've attached the text file that was 
used to create this .svg

for a simple diagram like this it wouldn't take more than a half hour or 
so to create it in inkscape directly, but if you can think about a more 
complex diagram that includes 50 systems connected to 84 networks with a 
total of 294 interfaces and 634 IP addresses, you will see that drawing 
this manually will take days, whild a script can create the bockdiag 
config file in a couple of minutes and then nwdiag can create a svg file 
in a few seconds.

I'm willing to consider modifying the svg file directly, or getting the 
blockdiag tools patched to write something different into the svg file if 
that's what it takes to make this work, but I was hoping that there was 
some way to work with the data as is, not just because blockdiag makes 
these less-than-optimal files, but because there are going to be other 
tools that do as well.

A CAD program that I have allows me to select not only objects, but 
points. If I select some points in an object and then move them, the 
object gets stretched/distorted appropriately. What I think I'm looking 
for in Inkscape is a way to grab the point that is the endpoint of the 
path as well as the objects and move them all togeather.

David,
I saw your sample and I can see you created the lines with Shift+F6 instead of using Ctrl+F2.
See the same example (less pretty) , but using Ctrl+F2. If you move around the boxes with Firewall (for instance), the line will follow as soon as you let the box go.
Was this what you wanted to do?

I am not seeing how this helps me. I can select the node tool and 
select objects, but then when I try to move them I end up distorting them, 
not moving them.

If I use the basic selection tool it selects the objects, but since the 
line segments are not completely inside the selection box, they are not 
selected.

Thanks for the responses. I did not know about the changing the display

way, changing the ps to pdf (ps2pdf) then to svg (pdf2svg) I'm running 
linux. Strange they are visible in ghost view and other viewers.
