Donne moi ton avis, tu porterais ce t-shirt ? 😉

I'm having an issue with creating a very wide width stroke on my shape, its doing this weird clipping patchy thing, does anyone know why?

Hi. I don't know if you can help me in this group but I hope so. I purchased a PS5 controller skin file on Etsy and used Inkscape to insert my own images, creating a custom skin. I was able to do this in Inkscape because I couldn't manage it in Silhouette Studio (I have a Cameo 5). Now, I need to move the file into Silhouette Studio to print and cut it. However, when I export it as a PNG (which I believe is the only option for Studio), the quality drops. How can I fix this? I ran a test, but: 1) the images lose quality during this process; 2) the dimensions of the pieces aren't correct, and I don't know where or how to adjust them; Can anyone help me? This is a project that means a lot to me. Thank you! ❤️

Is there any fast way how to do that? I want to not just narrow the text, but also curve it slightly at the sides. As you can see, I tried using the Envelop Deformation, but no matter how hard I try, I can't get the result I want.

i don't understand this program at all, i just want to draw a line with the pencil tool. like one would probably do should he use the pencil tool. not a weird shape filling in what i've drawn. just a normal damn line to use for a border on a map

Due to the fact that I cannot get the, yes I'm I dinosaur, green double zebra paper that was used in the, well a long time ago, mainframe world to print listings, I've recreated my own, using 2400 dpi scans of the original, and for those of you who want or need it, the svg is dead simple,

 <!-- Zebra lines -->
 <!-- =========== -->

 <g id="r1"> <!-- Thin Zebra gradient -->
  <rect style="fill:#dcfde5" width="3236" height="1" x="0" y="0" />
 </g>

 <g id="d1"> <!-- Top/bottom Zebra line -->
  <use  xlink:href="#r1" x="0" y="0" />
  <rect style="fill:#c6fdd5" width="3236" height="7" x="0" y="1" />
  <use  xlink:href="#r1" x="0" y="8" />
 </g>

 <g id="d2"> <!-- Intermediate Zebra line -->
  <use  xlink:href="#r1" x="0" y="0" />
  <rect style="fill:#c6fdd5" width="3236" height="3" x="0" y="1" />
  <use  xlink:href="#r1" x="0" y="4" />
 </g>

 <g id="d3"> <!-- Full Zebra -->
  <use xlink:href="#d1" x="0" y="0"  />
  <use xlink:href="#d2" x="0" y="20" />
  <use xlink:href="#d2" x="0" y="39" />
  <use xlink:href="#d2" x="0" y="58" />
  <use xlink:href="#d1" x="0" y="74" />
 </g>

I use(d) it to make summary papers of my r/hitchhiking notes, and now, with a bit of help of Google's (rather sycophantic, sheesh...) AI mode I've actually created some REXX code that puts the summaries on it, and that works flawlessly. The forms are created at a resolution of 600 dpi (over the top) and are to be converted to PDF for A4 sized paper, (297x210 mm, or 7015x4960px), and that's were I'm completely stuck, whatever I try in the various Save As and export dialogs results in a PDF of 1m85x1m31(ish), and the only very roundabout way of getting them is to export the file to a PNG, open that in a browser, and print the result to a PDF (which was also suggested by Google...)

Can anyone here tell me the correct/better way to do this?

I've uploaded a sample of what I'm creating on my website as 333.svg and for those interested in how I generate them, here's the generating REXX exec, on request I can supply an input file for it, DM me.

And yes, I delete all id's (and other "nonsense") that Inkscape generates, and if anyone knows how to prevent Inkscape from adding this stuff in the first place, I'd love to hear how.

i often export documents with a lot of high-res images (photos, renders, storyboard panels) to PDF and Inkscape writes huge files, 126 MB for a single page with 12 images in my test... Cairo embeds the rasters with little or no lossy compression, and there's no option in the PDF export to set a target image resolution.

so i made a small extension: Export Lightweight PDF. Go to Extensions > Export > Export Lightweight PDF, pick a resolution preset (SD, Screen, Draft, HD, Print, or a custom scale/DPI) and the JPEG quality, and it exports the PDF and recompresses the images to that resolution. Vector paths, text, fonts and layout stay untouched.

• exports current page, all pages, the whole drawing or only the selection
• optional text to paths
• transparent images are split into a JPEG + alpha mask so transparency stays clean
• reports size before and after (my 126 MiB test file went down to 108 KiB at the SD preset, but it depends a lot on the images)

Free and open source (GPL-2.0-or-later), needs Inkscape 1.2+ and Ghostscript. Tested on 1.4 on Linux.

feedback welcome, it's my third inkscape extension 🙂

I can't find anything that would seem to solve this, but the color is constantly grayed out no matter the color, as if I had the opacity at like 50%. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and it did nothing. Thing is, it looks fine when I change the display mode to outline. What the hell do I do?

J’ai passé 4h à faire ce design de l’Alpine A110R sur Inkscape, dis moi ce que t’en penses !!

Trying to access it, can't.

Tried isitdown.com said it's been down for more than a week.

This the Geothermal Module or also called Geo Module.

This can be deployed on specific tiles that have an access to the deep ground so we can use geothermal energy to produce electricity.

This is one of the four modules used in my 2D isometric turn-based puzzle management game called Watts Ahead.

I have to use draftsight for work, but it sucks. Draftsight does handle svg imports, but its not a full implementation of the svg format, it can only really handle paths. I havent worked out exactly what svg elements it can, or can not process.

Anyhow, Im looking for an inkscape plug-in to convert inkscape drawings to svgs that draftsight can handle. if such a think exists, I really want to know about it.

Sometimes when I’m tracing an object with the Pen Tool, this happens. All the other nodes work fine, but I can’t edit this part. None of the tools seem to do anything.

Why does this happen, and how do I fix it?

Google's AI did answer this, but it also implied that changing the label would also change the name of it under Layers and Objects. And as you can see: changing the label does nothing to change how it is named under layers and objects. So I'll consider it's information dubious.

I'm at the stage where actually naming everything would be useful, so knowing what the difference is actually are would come in handy. I did notice that changing the name of the object in layers and objects does change the label, but why would vice versa not apply?

When I tried looking up tutorials I only got things for making labels, but nothing about the differences between these three things.

Thank you in advance!

I'd like to create a graph (nodes and lines) in Inkscape. But there's no way to add a line between two existing nodes as far as I know. And if I try to draw two lines with the bezier tool that end on the same points, then use the node tool to drag a selection box around the overlapping node and select "Join selected nodes" from the toolbar, the two nodes still remain separate. So if I move one node, the other line doesn't move with it. How can I achieve a connected graph with no duplicate nodes please?

With my SVG open and a colour displayed with RGB I can just press a button in the Fill and it shows me the same colour but with different numbers for CMYK.

For example the orange of this sub is RGB: 255 / 135 / 23 so if I create a rectangle in Inkscape and make it that orange I can then click the option changer which tells me that in CMYK it's 0 / 47 / 91 / 0. I've not meaningfully converted anything or changed anything as it's very togglable.

If I want to export my orange rectangle either as a PNG or PDF and send to a printer who wants CMYK only, do I need to do anything special to it before exporting? Printers' websites talk about converting colours to CMYK which suggests a degree of effort beyond pressing a button. Or can just write down the numbers and send those?

Thanks!

Now comes the time of the hydro module I created using Inkscape. I took inspitation from lot of Pinterest images.

This represetns a hydro module that you can deploy and produce clean energy using the tides and the watter currents.

It's part of my latest game, a 2D turn-based puzzle management game called Watts Ahead, where you have to use those clean energy modules to power human settlements on a distant planet.
