Supported operating systems

2010-04-10T18:15:50Z

JonCruz: Reverted edits by Dpark (Talk) to last version by Tweenk

Inkscape binaries are provided for the following platforms:

=== Official binary distributions ===
* Linux
* Windows Me, NT, 2000, XP, Vista
* [[MacOSX|Mac OS X]] 10.3 (Panther) and later; Starting with the [http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/ReleaseNotes042 0.42 release]

If your favorite OS (we are thinking of [[CompilingSunSolaris|Solaris]], Plan9, FreeBSD) isn't listed above, you can help by [[CreatingDists|building your own packages]] or [[CompilingInkscape|compiling from source]]. See also [[Tracking Dependencies]] for a list of required libraries.

Note: Windows 9x/ME support was dropped in 0.41, because this platform was dropped by GTK and the rest of our library stack.

See also the [http://www.inkscape.org/download.php Download Page] which has a slightly longer version of this info, and the actual files.

Tricks and tips

2010-04-10T18:15:40Z

JonCruz: Reverted edits by Dpark (Talk) to last version by Legio noctis

== Generic tricks and tips ==

The tips and tricks are collected to share/tutorials/tipsandtricks.svg and made apart of the release. If you want to contribute further, please add your tips and tricks to the SVN copy of the aforementioned. Also, you can add them below and they will be collected from time to time as a part of that tutorial.

----

== New Tips and Tricks Scratchpad ==

Please enter your new tips and tricks here...

=== Export to PDF Workaround===
As of version 0.45 saving as pdf results in unclipped images.

The following is a good workaround (On Windows):

Install [http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/ PDF Creator].
Print to the PDFCreator device.

=== PDF/EPS bounding boxes ===

As of version 0.45: when you export an object to PDF or EPS, the figure's bounding box is the canvas (probably the page) rather than a tight box around the object. If you want a tight box, select your object (with the rubber band selector) and use "Fit Page to Selection" in the "Document Properties" dialog to crop the canvas tightly around the object. Then, you can export to PDF or EPS and get the bounding box you want. There isn't really a way to automate this process by using Inkscape's command-line options.

==Changing languages==

Remember when you first installed Inkscape, and there were a bunch of language options?
To switch to Espanol, select Espanol when installing.

== Adjusting the Canvas Size to Fit Your Image ==

So, you've done a bunch of drawing, and now the canvas is too big/small.

* <tt>File > Document Preferences</tt>

:* Check "Show canvas border" if not already checked, just to get some feedback.

:* Set Canvas size to "Custom".

* Back in the Document window drop-down select box to the right of the height/width boxes, set the units to the same units as shown in the Document Preferences window.

:* <tt>Edit > Select All in All Layers</tt>

* Copy the Width and Height now shown in the Document window into the Width and Height of the Document Preferences window. Press the enter key after changing each number.

* Back in the Document window change the X and Y coordinates, both, to 0. Again, press the enter key after changing each number.

* Clean up after yourself:

:* <tt>Edit > Deselect</tt>

:* Close Document Preferences window

Note: Starting with version 0.44, you can use instead the button "Fit Page to Selection" under <tt>File > Document Properties</tt>. If nothing is selected then the page is adjusted to the whole drawing.

== Position guides ==
Position a guide roughly, then double click it to bring up a dialog box in which you can enter the desired position. --[[User:Pbhj|Pbhj]] 13:00, 1 July 2006 (PDT)
* ''AFAIK you can't do this any other way ... I've been using Inkscape since not long after the split from sodipodi and I just today (1st July 06) found this out! Super! This was in the AI users tips.''

==Adding fill to Shapes drawn with the Calligraphic Pen tool ==

Quick tut on how to add fill to shapes you've drawn with the calligraphic pen.
Please reupload tut on this topic --[[User:GigaClon|GigaClon]] 20:42, 19 June 2006 (PDT)

== Printing or Producing PDFs in ISO A4 rather than US Specific Letter Paper ==

I've been messing with this for ages, and as it turns out it's got a very simple solution (much easier than emailing your SVG to a friend with Illustrator ;-).

With Inkscape 0.42, if you create an A4 canvas and print it, it will quite happily print properly on an A4 printer. It'll even produce suitable PostScript too. However, if you produce a PDF (either by Save As... or by using the command line ps2pdf or by using Adobe Acrobat) you'll always get a US Letter PDF. I think this is because the PostScript doesn't mandate A4 or suggests Letter, after all, most .ps files will convert perfectly like this. However, you can force ps2pdf to use A4, although sadly not in Inkscape. Do it on the command line after printing PostScript to a file:

ps2pdf -sPAPERSIZE=a4 myfile.ps

(it'll produce myfile.pdf, which should be an A4 PDF rather than the default Letter).

Hopefully one day, Inkscape will have a dialogue asking you what paper size you'd like when it produced PDFs (much like saving .eps asks you a couple of things). After all, Inkscape just uses ps2pdf to produce PDFs anyway, so it ought to be able to pass in the paper size specification when it does so.

== Mirror modelling ==

Inkscape is a drawing application, not CAD, so maybe the word "modelling" is not appropriate.

Comment :
# This doesn't explain anything to me. HOW do you break apart a node? HOW do you join two nodes? I see steps I through III, but those little graphics don't explain how to do it.
# I think this is trying to explain how to [apparently] join something to a closed loop; I'd like to see n-way nodes for this (is that in the spec?). What they are doing is taking a node on that loop and making it in to two nodes in the same place using -0-0- (that's my ASCII art for the node duplicate icon! it's on the menu bar when you are using the node edit tool on a path). Then we split using -0 0-. Then join one of the coincidental nodes to the other shape. It now looks like you have a spur off from your closed loop. But you don't. Is that it, do I get a cookie?? --[[User:Pbhj|Pbhj]] 15:08, 7 July 2006 (PDT)

== How to rotate and duplicate ==

Need more appropriate name, like: how to make a swatch.

Not finished yet.

[[Khiraly]] - Feel free to comment on tips, if its not clear. Any comment are useful.

[[Category:User Documentation]]

== Text on circle ==

If you want to put text on a circle, you can do the following:

* create a circle
* create a text object with the text you want to put on the circle
* select both
* go to Text | Put on Path

So far so good, nothing special. Anyway, you'll notice that the text is always put on the outside of the circle - what if you want to put the text '''inside''' the circle? I've found this trick:

* create a circle
* select it and go to Path | Object to Path
* go to Path | Reverse
* create a text object with the text you want to put on the circle's internal
* select both the text and the circle
* go to Text | Put on Path

That's it!

==Created punched-out text==

This will create a punched-out text with shadow effect that looks like this:

[[File:Punchtext8.png]]

First, create the object you want to cut the text out from. Here I use a red rectangle:

[[File:Punchtext1.png]]

Then, create the text.

[[File:Punchtext2.png]]

Duplicate the text (<tt>Ctrl+D</tt>) so you have two copies of it in exactly the same place, then select one of the copies of the text and the object at the same time by holding <tt>Shift</tt> and clicking on both of them. Now either open the <tt>Path</tt> menu and click <tt>Difference</tt>, or press <tt>Ctrl+Shift+-</tt>.

[[File:Punchtext3.png]]

You will now (although it will be hidden behind the remaining piece of text, so you won't be able to see it) have an object with the text as a hole in the middle and the second (duplicate) piece of text. To create the shadow, create another rectangle—which must cover the area of the text—in the color of the shadow you want, like this:

[[File:Punchtext4.png]]

Now repeat the previous process. First, send the new rectangle/object behind the remaining text (you can use <tt>PgDn</tt>) and select both of them, then do a difference between them.

[[File:Punchtext5.png]]

To make this object look like a shadow, you can add some blur to it. Open the Fill & Stroke sidebar and change 'blur' to whatever you want. I've chosen 2.0 here.

[[File:Punchtext6.png]]

Finally, send this object behind the other object. You will see this kind of effect:

[[File:Punchtext7.png]]

To make it look more like a shadow/better, feel free to change the colour, amount of blur and position. I, for example, ended up with this:

[[File:PunchtextFinal.png]]

See the [[Media:PunchtextFinal.svg|source of the final result]].

Release notes/0.48

2010-03-17T01:32:21Z

JonCruz: /* User interface */ adding swatches

==Inkscape 0.48==
'''(not released yet - [[AnnouncePlanning048]])'''

==Release highlights==

(TODO)

==Tools==

===Node Tool===

During Google Summer of Code 2009, the node tool underwent an extensive rewrite. Along with more maintainable code, it brings several new features.

; '''Multi-path editing'''
: Any number of paths can be selected for node editing at once.
; '''Improved clippath / mask editing'''
: The clipping path or mask of an object can be edited at the same time as the object. The clip / mask editing buttons in the node tool are now toggle buttons, rather than mode switch buttons. If the object is transformed after applying a clipping path, the clipping path is no longer offset when editing it in the node tool. If the clipping path is a group, all paths in the group can be edited simultaneously.
; '''Improved node join'''
: It is now possible to join nodes from different paths. More than two endnodes can be joined at once—the distances between nodes will be used to determine which nodes to join, with the closest pairs being joined first. When nothing can be joined (less than 2 endnodes in selecion), each selected stretch of nodes will be joined into one node.
; '''Improved segment join'''
: It is now possible to create a segment between endnodes from different paths. More than one segment can be created at once—the distances between nodes will be used to determine which nodes to join with a segment, with the closest pairs being joined first. When nothing can be joined (less than 2 endnodes in selecion), each selected stretch of nodes will have its middle nodes removed, leaving only one segment.
; '''Node transforms'''
: It is now possible to transform the nodes using the mouse and transformation handles similar to those in the selector tool. They can be turned on and off using the first button in the node toolbar. When the handles are visible, clicking on a selected node will switch between scaling and rotation mode, instead of selecting only that node. You can also use Shift+H to switch the mode. All other operations work normally when transform handles are shown.
; '''Path direction tools'''
: Little harpoons are optionally shown in the middle of each segment, visualizing the direction of the path. This is useful when preparing a guide path for text, setting markers, and debugging extensions and Inkscape itself. The "Reverse" command (Shift+R) reverses the direction of subpaths that have some selected nodes, or all subpaths if the node selection is empty.
; '''Customizable path update'''
: Two new preferences allow you to specify when the path and its outline should be updated. Turning off live update of paths will improve performance for complex drawings.
; '''Improved tips'''
: The tips displayed for nodes and handles are more concise and affected by what modifier keys are pressed.

For a detailed feature comparison between the old and new tool, see [[GSoC2009 Node Tool Rewrite]].

===Spray Tool===
To use the spray tool, you first need to select one or several items and then click on the Spray icon.

Three modes are available.

*''Spray Copy mode :'' each sprayed item is independant from the others.
*''Spray Clone mode :'' each sprayed item is a clone of the selected item. Changing the properties of the original item will affect the clones.
*''Spray Single Path Mode :'' everything you spray is in a single path. You may need to convert your item into a path to make it work properly.

'''Spray options'''

*Amount : probability of apparition of an item.
*Scatter : for the gaussian spraying, it sets the width of the gaussian.
*Focus : it sets the center of the gaussian. More precisely, it is the distance to the center of the cursor.
*Scale : you can choose to scale your items taller or smaller than the original one. The scale is set between two values.
*Rotation : you can rotate randomly your items.

You can use keys ↑ and ↓ to control the size of of sprayed items. Use ← and → to set the width of the cursor.

You can also spray items by scrolling.

The Spray tool is a perfect match for the transforming, duplicating, and deleting modes of the Tweak tool.



==Import/Export==
===Improved bitmap image import===

Bitmaps are now always embedded when pixel data is pasted or dragged into Inkscape's window (for example when copying parts of an image from GIMP). Files with automatically generated names like "inkscape_pasted_image_..." are no longer created in the document directory. When importing or opening bitmap images, a dialog is displayed that asks whether you want to link the image or embed it.

===New LaTeX export for PDF/EPS/PS===

Similar to GNUPlot's `epslatex' output terminal and Xfig's combined PDF/LaTeX output, Inkscape can now export graphics to PDF with an accompanying LaTeX file that overlays the text over the PDF when inputted in LaTeX. The image's text is typeset by LaTeX, so for example mathematical expressions are rendered correctly, and all text will be in the font and style of the LaTeX document (even when changing the document's font afterwards).

''(the following description assumes export to PDF, but will work the same for EPS and PS)''
Two files will be created: a PDF file containing all graphics, without text; and a LaTeX file with the same name, containing all text, and code to include the PDF and overlay the text. To include the exported image in LaTeX, one writes

\begin{figure}
\centering
\def\svgwidth{\columnwidth} % sets the image width, this is optional
\input{image.tex}
\end{figure}

A more thorough description of how to use the new feature (and automate the exporting/inclusion of the image in LaTeX) is given in this PDF: [http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/images/SVG_in_LaTeX.pdf SVG in LaTeX].

====From the GUI====
When exporting to PDF/EPS/PS from Inkscape's GUI, the usual dialog pops up after selecting to which PDF/EPS/PS file to export to. In this dialog, you can find the PDF/EPS/PS+LaTeX option.

====Command line option====
When exporting to PDF/EPS/PS from the command line, adding --export-latex will turn the LaTeX export on. For example

inkscape image.svg -z -D --export-pdf=image.pdf --export-latex

==Extensions==
===New and improved extensions===

* The new '''Generate from Path > Voronoi Pattern''' extension creates a random pattern of Voronoi cells. The pattern will be accessible from the Fill and Stroke dialog. The pattern can be made to be smooth at the edges by choosing a positive border, or sparse at the edges by using a negative border.
* The new '''Render > Wireframe Sphere''' extension draws the globe as a collection of ellipses representing a sphere's latitude and longitude lines. The number of lines is adjustable, as well as the tilt and rotation. There is an option to hide the lines at the back of the sphere.
* The new '''Render > Barcode - Datamatrix''' extension renders a DataMatrix 2D barcode, as specified in BS ISO/IEC 16022:2006. The number of rows and columns of the DataMatrix is adjustable. If more data is given than can be contained in one DataMatrix, more than one DataMatrix will be produced.
* The new '''Modify Path > Pixelsnap''' extension aligns rectangles and paths to pixel boundaries, to create sharp web and digital graphics.
* The new '''Color > Black and White''' extension turns the selection colors into black and white.



==Other features==

* Arch paper sizes are added in the Document Properties dialog
* Displaying the '''font samples''' in the drop-down list of the Text tool is now optional. In Inkscape Preferences, go to Tools, Text, and uncheck "Show font samples in the drop-down list" if you don't want to see the samples. This will speed up displaying the list the first time you open it
* Items in the File > Open Recent menu, when mouseovered, show tooltips with the full URI of each file in the list. Also, files that are in the list but are missing or unaccessible are automatically hidden
* When a flowed text is truncated (i.e. the frame is too small for the entire text), the frame is shown red, and the statusbar hint includes '''[truncated]'''. You need to resize the frame to see the truncated end of the text. Analogously, if the path of a text-on-path object is too short to display the entire text, the statusbar will report it as '''[truncated]'''
* Clicking the text alignment buttons (Left, Center, Right) on the Text tool's controls bar now does not let the text jump: it stays within the same bounding box as before, only changing the alignment
* The position of text's baseline anchor (the small square) is now dependent of the alignment: for left-aligned text it is, as before, at the left end, for centered text in the middle, and for the right-aligned text it is at the right end of the text's first line (this is for horizontal text; for vertical, it is correspondingly at top, middle, or bottom of the first column). This allows snapping, aligning and distributing of text relative the side to which it's aligned
* Snapping of gradient handles has been improved and now behaves similar to the snapping of all other handles and objects
* When snapping to a bounding box, that bounding box will be shown for a moment (tied to the snap indicator)
* If a new object is being created on the canvas with snapping enabled, then a snap indicator will also be shown for the first point
* There are now options for Margins when resizing a document to a selection or the drawing in Document Properties
* Preferences have been added to allow automatic grouping when setting a Clippath or Mask
* Bitmap copies created using the Make a Bitmap Copy command (Alt+B) are now embedded. Previously they were saved in an automatically generated file and linked
* The file preview size limit (in the File > Open and File > Import dialog box) is now 10Mio (1.3Mio in 0.47)

===Extended input device configuration===

The stock Input Devices dialog has been replaced with a completely redone version that provides a more useful representation of settings. It also contains a simple area for testing different inputs of different devices.

Additionally hardware setup itself has been separated from general settings to allow for easier dynamic switching of settings appropriate to the task at hand.

==User interface==

===Adaptive UI===
(In progress [[User:JonCruz|JonCruz]])

===Custom Swatches===

Custom swatches can be created and used on a per-document basis. An "Auto" color palette will track swatches in the current document and allow them to be set and used. The use is "live" with changes to the swatch being applied automatically to all objects set to it. The swatches can also be gradients and not just simple colors.

===New cursors in Selector===

Selector tool has a new mouse cursor (arrow with an open hand) for when your mouse is over a selectable object, and another (arrow with clinched hand) for when you're dragging an object. This improves precision of selection and UI consistency (previously, the mouse cursor over a selectable object was different across platforms, e.g. hand icon on Linux or four-way arrow on Windows).

===Translations===

New Farsi translation (in progress).

==Tutorials==

* SVG files are now optimized with Scour (filesize reduced by 40%).
* Bitstream Vera fonts replaced with generic sans and serif fonts (solves many font substitution issues).
* New Interpolate tutorial (Help > Tutorials > Inkscape: Interpolate).
* New translations in Farsi, Belarussian and Dutch.

==Notable bug fixes==

* The 3D tool no longer inserts an inkscape:perspective element into SVG when it is not needed (i.e. when the document has no 3D box objects).
* Wrong clippaths and masks with cyclic recursion (i.e. clippaths or masks that refer to themselves via other clippaths or masks) no longer crash Inkscape.
* Default unit setting for the XY grid is now respected when creating a new grid.
* Pasting Live Path Effect stacks now works. It adds the stack of the copied object to the end of the LPE stack (if present) of the object it is pasted to.
