==Other User Interface==


==Import/Export==
=== General ===
* New Flash XML Graphics (FXG) export format.
* Canvas background color can be set without exporting it (background transparency is only used for export but not the canvas).
* New Synfig Animation Studio (SIF) export format.
* New Visio (VSD) import format.
* XAML export improvements.
* Compressed SVG and media export extension improvements. New options: set an image directory in the zip file, and add a text file that lists the fonts used in the SVG document.
* New preference to allow users to always link, embed or ask when importing bitmaps.
* New preferences that allow the checking of SVG on input and/or export for invalid or not useful elements, attributes, and properties. Options control whether such items generate warnings (when Inkscape is run from the command line) or in removing such items.
* The --export-text-to-path option now works with Plain SVG export.


===Gimp XCF improvements===
* The "Save Background" option allows users to choose if the page background is saved with each Gimp layer.
* The exported layers now use the label attribute or, if not set, the id attribute.
* New help tab.
* Some bugs and warnings fixed.


===PDF ===
=== Guides ===
* "Bleed/margin" : Added an option to specify an extra margin by which the bounding box to be exported is expanded. This may be helpful to export a PDF with a small white margin around the drawing, or for exporting a bleed region a few mm outside the area of the page.
* Guides visibility can be toggled by clicking the ruler
* Guides can now have labels, and the colour of individual guides can also be set by the user. To label or colour a guide, double click on the guideline to bring up the guide properties dialog.
[[File:Labelled-guides.png]]


===PDF/EPS/PS + LaTeX===
* Added the possibility of scaling the image. The 'calc' package must be included in the preamble. Then the image can be scaled by defining '\svgscale' instead of '\svgwidth'.
* The font shape is now also exported. '\textit{}' for italic text, '\textbf{}' for bold text, and '\textsl{}' (slanted) for oblique text. It is important to note that '''Arial''' has an '''oblique''' font shape and not '''italic''', so the result in LaTeX will be '''slanted instead of italic'''. It is better to '''use another font''' in Inkscape when you want true italics.


==Extensions==
=== Menu/Access ===
===New===
* The new guillotine extension is used for exporting png slices from a drawing. The slice rectangles are defined by adding horizontal and vertical guides within the canvas boundary, the canvas boundary serves as the outside of the sliced area.
* The new [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-code G-code] tools extension converts paths to G-code (using circular interpolation), makes offset paths and engraves sharp corners using cone cutters.
* New [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_code QR code] generator.
* New isometric grid generator.
* New bitmap crop extension.
* New "Extract text" extension outputs the text elements of the document in a chosen order.
* New HSL adjust extension.
* New Replace font extension.
* New N-Up layout extension.
* New Voronoï diagram extension (creates Voronoï diagrams and Delaunay triangulations based on the selected objects' barycenter).
* New Interpolate Attribute in a group extension.
* New Typography extensions menu.


===Improvements===
* The interface elements are accessible through the keyboard with <kbd>ALT+key</kbd> in many more dialogs
* Number nodes. New parameters allowing users to choose the starting dot number and the numbering step between two nodes.
* "Text and Font", "Fill and Stroke", and "Check Spelling" dialogs are added to the text object context menu (right click)
* Color Markers to Match Stroke extension improvements. The markers can now inherit the fill and stroke colors and alpha channels from the object, or be customized with color selectors in a separate tab.
* Menu items renamed:
* Optional sliders added on float and int extension parameters (full and minimal modes).
** '''Edit ▶︎ Preferences'''
* Extension parameters values (''except attributes!'') can now be contextualized for translation (with msgctxt).
** '''Edit ▶︎ Input Devices'''
* New sub-menus in the Render menu, grouping the bar-codes, grids and layout extensions.
** '''File ▶︎ Cleanup Document'''
 
* Checkboxes to indicated status of View ▶︎ Grid/Guides/Snap/Color Management
==User interface==
* Group/Ungroup from the context menu

Darstellung und Geschwindigkeit

Inkscape 0.91 verwendet einen neuen Renderer basierend auf der Cairo-Bibliothek. Dieser entstand größtenteils während Projektarbeit im Google Summer of Code 2010 und 2011.

  • Performanz-Verbesserung. Der neue Renderer ist bei den meisten Bildern signifikant schneller. Die komplexesten Objekte werden automatisch zwischengespeichert, damit die Benutzeroberfläche beim Bearbeiten schneller reagiert.
  • OpenMP-Multithreading für Filter. Filter verwenden alle vorhandenen Prozessorkerne für die Berechnung eines Bildes. Das Ergebnis ist eine starke Beschleunigung des Bildaufbaus bei Mehrkern-Systemen. Bemerkbar macht sich dies insbesondere bei der Bearbeitung von Bildern, die große gefilterte Objekte enthalten.
  • Signifikante Senkung des Arbeitsspeicherbedarfs. Inkscape braucht jetzt weniger Arbeitsspeicher. In einigen Fällen werden bis zu 75% gegenüber Inkscape 0.48 eingespart, dadurch können nun größere Dateien geöffnet werden.
  • Verbesserung der Reaktionszeit. Einmal gerenderte Teile des SVG-Bildes werden nun zwischengespeichert. Dies führt zu einer enormen Verbesserung der Reaktionszeit beim Hervorheben von Pfaden, An- und Abwählen von Objekten und der Pfadbearbeitung im "delayed update mode"
  • Rendering-Bugfixes. Viele der Darstellungs-Fehler sind behoben. Folgende Dinge werden nun korrekt angezeigt:
    • Musterfüllungen (keine Lücken mehr bei Übergängen)
    • Konturlinien von gedrehten / verzerrten Objekten in Mustern
    • Muster, die ausgeschnittene Objekte enthalten
    • Verschachtelte Ausschneidepfade
    • Maskierte und ausgeschnittene Objekte mit großen Masken / Ausschneidepfaden im Umriss-Modus
    • Pfade mit dicken Konturlinien und langen Spitzen
    • Schrift


Graustufen-Modus

Ein Graustufen-Modus wurde hinzugefügt, dieser zeigt eine Bildvorschau in Graustufen an. Mit Shift+5(Ziffernblock) kann man zwischen Farb- und Graustufen-Anzeige-Modus hin und her wechseln.

Werkzeuge

Knotenwerkzeug

Die Knotenwerkzeug-Menüleiste enthält nun eine Schaltfläche zum Hinzufügen neuer Knoten an den Extrempunkten des ausgewählten Pfadsegments. Es ist nun z.B. möglich, einen neuen Knoten am höchsten Punkt einer Kurve hinzuzufügen.

Add nodes at max.gif

Messwerkzeug

Das neue Messwerkzeug ermöglicht es, Elemente in der Zeichnung auszumessen. Um es zu verwenden, wählt man es aus, klickt in die Zeichnung und zieht das Lineal aus. Das Messwerkzeug aktualisiert laufend die angezeigten Werte für Länge und Winkel, wenn man es über Objekte in der Zeichnung bewegt.

Ruler.png

Textwerkzeug

  • Die Textgrößen-Standardeinheit ist nun Point (pt), zur Auswahl stehende Einheiten: px,pt,pc,mm,cm,in,em
  • Die Text-Menüleiste zeigt eine Liste von allen Font-Style-Varianten für die entsprechende Schriftart
  • Dateien mit Texten in der Einheit em werden nun korrekt gelesen.
  • Es gibt einen Warndialog, wenn eine Schriftart durch Inkscape ersetzt wird (weil sie auf dem System nicht vorhanden ist).

Farbverläufe

  • Farbverlaufs-Menüleiste wurde um die Auswahl und Bearbeitung von Verlaufs-Stops, -Invertierungen, -Wiederholungen und -Verlinkungen erweitert.
  • Fehlerkorrekturen für Verlaufs-Bearbeitung auf der Arbeitsfläche: bei Doppelklick wird ein Verlaufs-Stop erzeugt und der Fokus wird beim Auswählen korrekt gesetzt
  • Farbverläufe können in "Füllung und Kontur" nach Farbe, Name und Verwendung sortiert werden.
  • Farbverläufe können in "Füllung und Kontur" umbenannt werden

Dialoge u.ä.

Anordnen (zuvor: Zeilen und Spalten)

- NEU: Umbenannt in "Anordnen" - NEU: Ausrichtung an Kreisen und Bögen (neuer Tab "Trilineare Koordinaten") Weitere Informationen zur Verwendung finden sich hier: <http://issuu.com/ddeclara/docs/inkscape_radial_arrangement>


Ausrichten und Abstände ausgleichen

  • Neue Funktion "Positionen ausgewählter Objekte verändern". Es gibt nun drei weitere Knöpfe im Ausrichten-und-Abstände-ausgleichen-Dialog (Gruppe "Anordnen"), durch die die Positionen der ausgewählten Objekte vertauscht werden können.
    • Im folgenden Beispiel wurden drei Objekte ausgewählt und ihre Positionen wurden in der Reihenfolge, in der sie ausgewählt worden sind (mittels der neuen Funktion) vertauscht.

Swap-objects.gif

  • In diesem Dialog gibt es noch zwei weitere neue Knöpfe, die es erlauben, die Objekte nach ihrer Stapelordnung (z-index) umzusortieren oder sie einfach im Uhrzeigersinn in Abhängigkeit von ihrer Position auf der Seite zu vertauschen.
  • Tastaturkürzel (Strg+Alt+Ziffernblock-Zahlen) für Ausrichten-Operationen

Dokumenteneinstellungen

Optional kann das Antialiasing deaktiviert werden. (Bug #170356, Oberfläche teilweise implementiert)


Suchen/Auswählen

  • Es ist jetzt einfacher, Objekte auszuwählen, die nicht ganz oben in der Z-Ordnung liegen: mit Alt+Mausrad-Scrollen kann man sich durch alle Objekte bewegen, die an der Stelle des Mauszeigers übereinandergestapelt liegen. (Shift+Alt+Scrollen mit dem Mausrad, um zur Auswahl hinzuzufügen). Im Moment werden Gruppierungen ignoriert, es wird also nur zwischen einzelnen Objekten gewechselt.
  • Der neue "Suchen/Ersetzen"-Dialog arbeitet auch mit Text und jeder Art von Attribut
  • "Das Gleiche auswählen" ist eine neue Funktion, die es erlaubt, Objekte mit denselben Eigenschaften wie das aktuell ausgewählte Objekt auszuwählen. Zum Beispiel kann man ein Objekt mit blauer Füllung auswählen. Danach kann man die neue Funktion verwenden, um alle anderen Objekte mit derselben blauen Farbe im Dokument auszuwählen.

Selectsame.gif

Die neue Funktion ist im Menü unter Bearbeiten ▶︎ Das Gleiche auswählen oder im Kontextmenü, das sich beim Rechtsklick auf ein ausgewähltes Objekt öffnet, zu finden. Es bietet auch noch weitere Möglichkeiten, ähnliche Objekte auszuwählen, so zum Beispiel danach, ob Füllung und Kontur übereinstimmen oder nur die Kontur, der Stil der Kontur oder der Objekttyp.

Füllung und Kontur

  • Die Ansicht für Farbverläufe im Füllung-und-Kontur-Dialog zeigt nun eine Liste aller verwendeten Verläufe im Dokument. Die Liste enthält den Verlauf, seinen Namen und wie oft dieser im Dokument verwendet wird.

Gradient-fill-stroke.png

  • Kompaktere Auswahlelemente für (End-/Anfangs-/Zwischen-)Markierungen

Ebenen

  • Ebenen und Unter-Ebenen lassen jetzt mittels Drag & Drop neu anordnen
  • Alle Ebenen anzeigen / Alle Ebenen "Hide(Verstecken? Ausblenden?)" im Kontextmenü

Symbole

Es gibt einen neuen Dialog für Symbole in Inkscape. Dieser Dialog zeigt Symbole aus einer Symbolbibliothek an. Inkscape 0.91 enthält fünf Beispielbibliotheken: Logik-Symbole, AIGA/DOT-Verkehrssymbole, Kartensymbole, Flowchart-Symbole und Sprechblasen. Der Dialog ermöglicht es auch, eine Pseudo-Bibliothek aller Symbole in der aktuell mit Inkscape geöffneten Zeichnung zu erstellen (Ein Symbol wird in SVG durch das Tag <symbol> definiert). Symbole können aus dem Dialog auf die Zeichenfläche gezogen werden.

Jedes Dokument, das Symbole enthält, kann als Quelle für eine Symbolbibliothek genutzt werden - es braucht hierfür nur in das Symbol-Verzeichnis im Inkscape-Einstellungsverzeichnis kopiert zu werden (üblicherweise share/inkscape). Richtig angewendet können Symbole mit voreingestellter Füllungs- und Konturfarbe erstellt werden, die später durch den Benutzer geändert werden können.

Visio Stencil-Dateien (.vss) können im selben Symbolverzeichnis abgelegt werden, wobei zu beachten ist, dass die Ergebnisse möglicherweise nicht so gut sind wie bei der Verwendung von SVG-Symbol-Bibliotheken.

Weitere Details finden sich auf der Wiki-Seite zum Symboldialog.

Text and Font

  • NEW: lists fonts used in the current document at the top
  • NEW: select all text objects with same font as current selection
  • NEW (to be verified): support list with fallback fonts (CSS2)

Transform

  • Rotation of objects clockwise or counterclockwise

Markers

  • Markers now take objects color

Trace Bitmap

  • Trace bitmap preview updates live and is resizeable

Live Path Effects

An object's Live Path Effects are now forked upon object duplication.

PowerStroke

Here a list of the current state. Note that this is very much work in progress and anything can change. I think this is the most efficient place of keeping track how the powerstroke LPE works.

  • Stroke knots are purple diamonds
  • When first applied, 3 stroke knots are added: start, end, and somewhere in the middle along the path
  • Add nodes: Ctrl+click purple knot
  • Delete nodes: Ctrl+Alt+click purple knot
  • "sort points" reorders the stroke knots according to where they lie along the path (where they are closest to the path), instead of keeping them in original order.
  • Start and end caps can be specified. The SVG cap types are available, as well as an extra type, "Zero width", that is identical to adding a width control knot at the start/end of the path with zero width.
  • Join type can be specified. In addition to the SVG join types, there are two new types:
    • Extrapolated: this extrapolates the contour of the stroked path to obtain a more natural looking miter join.
    • Extrapolated arc: Mathematical explanation.
    • Spiro: rounds the join using a spiro curve (the rounded type rounds the curve using an elliptical arc).

example screenshot

Clone Original

The Clone original LPE ignores the path data of the path it has been applied to; instead, it copies the original-d path data, i.e. the path data before LPE calculation, from the path linked to by the Linked path parameter.

The Clone original LPE is made to be used in conjunction with powerstroke. Powerstroke creates a path with a variable stroke, but this path can then not be filled (because the fill is used as the stroke). To fill a powerstroked path, one must create a second path (dummy path), apply the Clone original LPE and link it to the powerstroked path. Because this second path clones the original path data before the Powerstroke LPE, it can be used to fill the powerstroked path.

To quickly create a dummy path and apply this effect, one can select the path to 'clone' and click the menu item Edit ▶︎ Clone ▶︎ Clone original path (LPE).

Like for normal clones, pressing Shift+D, when the selected path has the Clone original LPE applied, selects the path referred to by the LPE.

Another very useful ability of the Clone original LPE is to create a clone with a different style than its referred path. To facilitate this, the LPE dialog will add the Clone original LPE when a clone is selected and the "+" button is pressed.

Filters

The new Custom predefined filters allow users to create predefined filters with custom parameters. See SpecCustomPredefinedFilters.

Trace Pixel Art (libdepixelize)

A new library developed for Inkscape to automatically vectorize raster images specialized in Pixel Art was integrated in the form of the "Trace Pixel Art" dialog (menu item Path ▶︎ Trace Pixel Art...). Good and old general "Trace Bitmap" is still there. Check the supplementary material of the algorithm authors to see a preview of how the algorithm behaves.

Other User Interface

General

  • Canvas background color can be set without exporting it (background transparency is only used for export but not the canvas).


Guides

  • Guides visibility can be toggled by clicking the ruler
  • Guides can now have labels, and the colour of individual guides can also be set by the user. To label or colour a guide, double click on the guideline to bring up the guide properties dialog.

Menu/Access

  • The interface elements are accessible through the keyboard with ALT+key in many more dialogs
  • "Text and Font", "Fill and Stroke", and "Check Spelling" dialogs are added to the text object context menu (right click)
  • Menu items renamed:

Simple calculations in spinboxes

In most spinboxes (a spinbox is an entry field with up and down "spinbuttons" next to it) you can now write simple calculations. Some examples:

  • 2 * 3
  • 50 + 100, or
  • ((12 + 34) * (5 + 5) - 2) / 2

Moreover, you can use units in entering values, like 2 + 2 cm. The result will be converted to the selected unit for the particular entry.

Configurable Control Handles

New preferences have been added to allow for the size of the on-canvas controls to be increased or decreased. The "Input Devices" section has been updated to control this.

Translations

  • The Keyboard and mouse reference (inkscape-docs project) and the labels of color palettes are now translatable.
  • New UI translation in Latvian.
  • New tutorial translations in Galician and Greek.
  • New man pages in Chinese (zh_TW) Greek (el), Japanese (ja) and Slovak (sk), and updated French translation. [Galician (gl) and Polish (pl) in progress]
  • Man pages now use PO files for translation (inkscape-docs project).
  • The tutorial generation system now fully supports RTL languages.

File format support

  • New Flash XML Graphics (FXG) export format.
  • New Synfig Animation Studio (SIF) export format.
  • New HTML5 Canvas export format
  • New Visio (VSD) import format, based on libvisio.
  • New internal CorelDraw (CDR) import format, based on libcdr.
  • XAML export improvements (including a new Silverlight compatible mode).
  • Compressed SVG and media export extension improvements. New options:
    • set an image directory in the zip file
    • add a text file that lists the fonts used in the SVG document.
  • New preference to allow users to always link, embed or ask when importing bitmaps.
  • New preferences that allow the checking of SVG on input and/or export for invalid or not useful elements, attributes, and properties. Options control whether such items generate warnings (when Inkscape is run from the command line) or in removing such items.
  • The --export-text-to-path option now works with Plain SVG export.

EMF/WMF

EMF and WMF input and output filters have been completely rewritten and are now cross-platform. It is now possible to copy and paste EMF files between Windows applications running in Wine and a native Linux version of Inkscape.

Gimp XCF

  • The Save Background option allows users to choose if the page background is saved with each GIMP layer.
  • The exported layers now use the label attribute or, if not set, the id attribute
  • New Resolution option
  • New Help tab
  • Some bugs and warnings fixed

PDF

  • Bleed/margin: Added an option to specify an extra margin by which the bounding box to be exported is expanded. This may be helpful to export a PDF with a small white margin around the drawing, or for exporting a bleed region a few mm outside the area of the page.

PDF/EPS/PS + LaTeX

  • Added the possibility of scaling the image. The calc package must be included in the preamble. Then the image can be scaled by defining \svgscale instead of \svgwidth.
  • The font shape is now also exported. \textit{} for italic text, \textbf{} for bold text, and \textsl{} (slanted) for oblique text. It is important to note that Arial has an oblique font shape, not italic. Thus, the result in LaTeX will be slanted, instead of italic. It is better to use another font in Inkscape when you want true italics.

Extensions

Units: Breaking change

Due to the implementation of proper document units, the functions inkex.unittouu and inkex.uutounit had to be modified and moved to the inkex.Effect class.

Unit conversion calls should be replaced with inkex.Effect.unittouu and inkex.Effect.uutounit calls (usually self.unittouu and self.uutounit).

New

  • The new guillotine extension is used for exporting PNG slices from a drawing. The slice rectangles are defined by adding horizontal and vertical guides within the canvas boundary, the canvas boundary serves as the outside of the sliced area.
  • The new G-code tools extension converts paths to G-code (using circular interpolation), makes offset paths and engraves sharp corners using cone cutters.
  • New QR code generator.
  • New isometric grid generator.
  • New bitmap crop extension.
  • New Extract text extension. Outputs a document’s text elements in a chosen order.
  • New Merge text extension.
  • New HSL adjust extension.
  • New Replace font extension.
  • New N-Up layout extension.
  • New Voronoï diagram extension (creates Voronoï diagrams and Delaunay triangulations based on the selected objects' barycenter).
  • New Interpolate Attribute in a group extension.
  • New Typography extensions menu.
  • New Hershey Text extension.

Improvements

  • Number nodes. New parameters allowing users to choose the starting dot number and the numbering step between two nodes.
  • Color Markers to Match Stroke extension improvements. The markers can now inherit the fill and stroke colors and alpha channels from the object, or be customized with color selectors in a separate tab.
  • Optional sliders added on float and int extension parameters (full and minimal modes).
  • Extension parameters values (except attributes!) can now be contextualized for translation (with msgctxt).
  • New sub-menus in the Render menu, grouping the bar-codes, grids and layout extensions.

SVG Support

Rendering of the following properties is now supported (without UI except via XML editor):

  • clip-rule
  • color-interpolation-filters: Non-Inkscape filters that specify linearRGB color interpolation will render properly. Filters created inside Inkscape will still use sRGB color interpolation by default.
  • text-decoration: Underline, strike-through, over line.
  • text-decoration-line, text-decoration-style: Preliminary support (CSS 3).
  • paint-order: Allows stroke to be painted under fill; useful for text.

Snapping

  • The snapping preferences and the snap toolbar have been reworked (in the underlying code and in the GUI) to should make the snapping preferences easier to understand, maintain, and find and fix any remaining snapping bugs
  • Inkscape now also snaps perpendicularly and tangentialy to paths, when creating paths in the pen tool, when dragging nodes, or when manipulating guides. Newly created guides (dragged off the ruler) will snap perpendicularly or tangentialy to any curve that is being snapped to. Two checkboxes have been added to the document properties dialog (on the snapping tab). Please note that snapping perpendicularly or tangetialy will not work in the selector tool when transforming an object or a selection of objects.
  • Intersections of paths and guides can now be snapped to too
  • Snapping has been implemented fully for transforming selections of multiple nodes in the node tool
  • Snapping to text anchors and baselines has been implemented properly
  • If one has chosen for only snapping the snap source closest to the mouse pointer, then the tab key can be used to cycle to the next closest snap source

Notable bug fixes

Notable bug fixes since last bug fix release (0.48.4):

  • Images are no longer recompressed when embedding or exporting them. [1]
  • Relative image paths are no longer stored as absolute (regression introduced with 0.47).
  • Many rendering glitches were fixed.
  • The rendering of the stroke on transformed objects now matches the SVG specification.
  • Values entered in the numeric input boxes for the selector tool (X, Y, width, height) are much more accurately applied.
  • Inkscape launches faster due to new icon cache (on disk) and improved font loading. (Bug #488247)

Known issues

  • On MS Windows when the desktop colordepth is set to 16-bit, Inkscape is unusable because of exploding memory usage. Please set the colordepth to 32-bit.
  • The Cairo library used in the new renderer does not implement downscaling, which causes large bitmaps to be pixelated on export. [2] The issue can be fixed by upgrading to Cairo 1.14.0. [3]
