To create a trapezoid in Inkscape: Draw a rectangle. In the Path menu choose Object to Path. Switch to the Node tool. Click on one of the corners of the rectangle which is on the side you wish to make longer or shorter. Use one of the arrow keys to move it left/right or up/down and count the number of times you press the key. Select the corner on the other end of the side you are modifying. Press the arrow key in the opposite direction you used in step 5 the same number of times.
I see (been using Inkscape for couple of weeks now) that there are features that I want to harness in Inkscape 0.47. I have 0.46 on Ubuntu 9.04 in the "Ubuntu Ultimate flavour".Oh by the way, is 10.04 stable? I read that 9.10 wasn't as stable cause of new programs and software and stuff that I have no clue about (I just want linux to be my stable OS in the back ground that doesn't require to much tinkering from me). And having asked that, can I upgrade to 10.04 via an installation disk? I usually get my OS disks from...well, wont say there name otherwise I might be accused of advertising. (downloading installations is expansive with a 3G card until I get ADSL).
I need to draw some flowcharts. I don't have the time to create them, I just need a template where I can manipulate the boxes and edit the text without worrying about the colors and the forms. There's any place where I can get that?
btw, which one is better to create flow charts, Inkscape or Dia? Dia seems to me more intuitive and easy to use but I can't discover how to rotate objects per example, I think it's a little limited in options.
I'm looking for something simple and classic like this, with labeled arrows.
Both programs were working just fine yesterday before the upgrade to Ubuntu 11.04.
Opening Gimp results in many error pop-ups on being unable to locate module gimp and module gimpfu. I tried to uninstall and reinstall, and the installation fails with this message:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
gimp : Depends: libgimp2.0 (<= 2.6.11-z) but 2.7.3-2010072701~ll is to be installed Depends: gimp-data (<= 2.6.11-z) but 2.7.3-2010072701~ll is to be installed
This may be because of times in the past where I tried to compile Gimp. Do I need to clean up my repositories list? (in that case, any way to get a fresh one?)
Inkscape doesn't open at all, instead the terminal message says this:
inkscape: error while loading shared libraries: libwpg-0.1.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I'm not sure what's wrong in the case of Inkscape though, although I did compile a few versions long ago I was using the "normal" version from the Ubuntu repositories afterwards.
So I puts my shinny new F12 install on my new computer. It's a little climb for me but for the most part easier then some of the other F's that I have tried to install.
One problem I have right now is my inkscape crashes as soon as I try to put some text on a page. I tried the automatic bug report thingy but it complained about me not having a log in. inksacpe is really becoming a very important application for me, I have been trying to shy away from the Windows programs I have been using.
I must say, F12 seems to really be advancing the fedora project into a nice desktop system.
Since last week I can't run inkscape or firefox anymore. I don't know what I did to cause this. I only allowed updates to be installed. when I try to run inkscape on the command line I get this error:
I'm using Inkscape, and I'm trying to import an EPS file to use it as a vector and eventually save it as an SVG.
This link here mentions several methods:
[URL]
But the responses aren't rated since it's a forum, so I thought I'd ask here to find the best answer. I'd prefer not to have to use some website to convert the file to a PDF first.
Either way, when I import an EPS into Inkscape, or use the website to convert it to a PDF, in both cases the resulting file loses all colour and gradients, and the EPS file gets cut off on the right side.
It looks like ps2pdf is clipping the file incorrectly, and Inkscape is eliminating the colour.
I have these version installed in Ubuntu Lucid Linux:
I've been trying to compile Inkscape 0.47 and I'm impressed how difficult this process is, I need 0.47, some files made with it (in a Mac) doesn't show good in 0.46, besides compiling, is there a easyway to install it on openSUSE 11.2?
after i update to -current 30 nov, inkscape cannot run. Code: inkscape: error while loading shared libraries: libMagick++.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory and there are other error (friends of mine problem) inkscape in slackware. this is the error
Code: (inkscape:9005): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_misc_set_alignment: assertion `GTK_IS_MISC (misc)' failed Emergency save activated! Emergency save completed. Inkscape will close now. If you can reproduce this crash, please file a bug at www.inkscape.org with a detailed description of the steps leading to the crash, so we can fix it. Segmentation fault
I have Inkscape 0.48 running on a windows xp laptop, but I can't find a way of getting it onto my desktop system running Ubuntu 8.04, which I need to run EMC2.
If I use apt-get to download the latest version, it gets 0.46, which has a cursor/tool bug in it.(The cursor doesn't line up with the tool on screen).
Is it possible for me to successfully transfer 0.48 via a memory stick to the desktop, without jeopardizing the Ubuntu system, or is there some other way ?
I have installed Debian 8.1 in several machines. Always I have a message for updating the systems I accept the upgrade.In one of the machines, where I did several upgrades, Inkscape never have been updated while in the others a updating from Inkscape 0.48 to 0.91 was made. I do not why and I would like to have Inkscape updated in all machines. is there some special condition for what packages will be presented for updating?
I'm using Inkscape on Fedora 15 and when I try to use ALT + [arrow key] to adjust the space between letters, nothing happens. Is that key combination assigned to some other function in GNOME3?
how I might get Alt + [arrow key] to work with Inkscape and Fedora 15
I'm using inkscape to convert a file from png format to svg format which is working but I need the image included within the svg file. It is within a script, so no gui. Which option do I use to include the image data within the svg file
i clean installed 13.1 x64, then upgraded to -current with no issues. everything seems to compile and run fine, except for inkscape. i downloaded the slackbuilds of inkscape and all its dependencies, and all their dependencies, and installed them in the proper order, however, when i run the inkscape.Slackbuild, it takes like 30minutes and then exits with the following messages:
Code: ... /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-slackware-linux/4.5.1/../../../../lib64/libxslt.so: undefined reference to
Inkscape installed by yum. Next is The Xine player. I tried to install it by yum, but it reported depsolving problems with libavcodec52 and libtheora_enc and refused.
I use the default Inkscape 0.48.5 r10040 on the default 32 bit Debian Jessie with Gnome 3.14.1 and since I installed it I can't apply some font cuts which actually do work in other applications and did work on previous versions of Debian/Inkscape.
The cuts do show up as options in the "font/style" selection menu and i can use different versions from for example "Roboto" but if I - for example - select to use the "Semi-Light" variant of Roboto it just doesn't get applied after all. (I know that many fonts do not have any font variations and Inkscape confusingly just shows at least "italic" and "bold" as options in the style list anyway.) In this case the font variant is actually there, I can use the same font variants in Gimp and I was able to use it in previous versions of Debian/Inkscape, but not now.But I noticed instabilities in Gimp, Inkscape and Scribus lately. Gimp just consistatly vanishes when I try to scroll through the font selection menu and Scribus takes ages to load and does crush from time to time without any clear pattern to me. I don't think this is caused by Roboto itself since I used it in the past without such problems.
Should I remove all custom fonts and try if everything works ok again or does this approach sound rather foolish to you? Unfortunately I need most of the additional fonts I installed for different projects and I had them on my system in the past also without having such issues. I could however remove all custom fonts and include only those absolutely needed one by one ...
I have recently installed inkscape on a KDE4 desktop using opensuse 11.3.I tried opening a .ARW file coming from a Sony NEX digital camera. The open file dialog page indicates that .arw files are supported, but when i try to do so a failure error message box appears.I started by asking this question at inkscape.org and got this response:

I want to use LaTeX text in Inkscape. Just a simple thing like $$x_i$$. There is an extension called textext with installation manual. Basically one have to copy four files into /usr/share/inkscape/extensions and one more option appears in Extensions menu. So far so good.
If I try to use that extension I get an error message: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/inkscape/extensions/inklatex.py", line 7, in <module> import xml.dom.ext.reader.Sax2 ImportError: No module named ext.reader.Sax2
Googling you can find several topics about that error from 2004 or earlier saying to install PyXML and providing a link to it, where it is said "Out of date. Do not use it." I have tried to build that PyXML though -- without success (lots of compile errors).
I'm getting the following errors when I try to start skype:
[code]...
I installed Skype from the slacky.it package HERE. Everything was fine, all was stable and rosey, until I installed Inkscape today. I hadn't even noticed it wasn't running until someone got a hold of me and said they were trying to get a hold of me. When I went to fire it up, thinking that I had somehow inadvertently closed it, it sprang right up for just a second and then was gone. Same thing - three times in row. So I tried starting if from the command line and got that error. I can start it from the comman line as root, with the following error:

The deps for Inkscape that I installed, and in the following order, were all from the 13.1 repo, and the ones I didn't already have installed were:
I am using export in 'Inkscape' to convert an SVG file to PNG. As I am using a transparent background, the colour of background is automatically set to yellow. I want to change this default colour to white. How can I do this?

I recently upgraded from Fedora 13 to Fedora 14 and noticed something strange when I used Yum to install GNote and Inkscape. Yum installed the Fedora 14 version of the programs, but installed some dependencies that were actually from Fedora 12 and 13. The output below shows what packages were installed.
Yum output:
==================================================================================================== =================================================================== Package Arch Version Repository Size
[code].....
When I ran the yum command to list all of the packages for the dependencies in question, it only listed the version for Fedora 12 or 13. Is there something wrong with one of my repositories or do these Fedora 14 programs actually use packages from previous versions of Fedora?
I notice that when you try to Make link to any file or folder form context menu, It just copy the same file size? even when i tried to copy the link to external storage disk..
I am following the instructions on Section 8.1.* Device Driver ConceptsHere I was able to proceed till section 8.1.4.After making the hello.c file,the make file and patching the Kconfig as mentioned,I tried to run the $ make ARCH=ARM CROSS_COMPILE=xscale_be- gconfig This gave error as:make: *** No rule to make target `gconfig'.
