- Great job on making Image:Scoutsgreengoldnoscroll.png a recolored SVG - Image:Scout logo2.svg! Rlevse 17:38, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!
Thanks a million for this animation. Exactly what I was looking for. I hope the work wasn't too onerous. · j e r s y k o talk · 02:59, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

svg
In reguards to your comment on the vectorisation of the logo, I have changed the tag on the image so it is represented in a more appropriate way. I was using to origional tag because I had not found one I thought was appropriate

The west leeming primary school image has the correct tag, it not copyrighted and has forfilled all demands and scrutiny. Could you PLEASE convert it to a svg.

I have an image which might be slightly higher in quality. I will upload it to wikipedia.

can you help?

Werdnabot on Graphicslab
FYI, I believe Werdnabot is non-functioning at this point. I know there's a couple other bots that are, though, Mizra has one, I think. I can't recall it's name, though. --badlydrawnjeff talk 17:30, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Connecting objects to inkscape path - not yet possible

 * Is there some way that I can link objects to a path so that I can change the path and have the objects follow it? I've made an SVG to demonstrate what I mean (in this example, I had to move the objects manually to match the path). This would be a very tedious method for my actual intention which is to be able to bend the DNA strands around (in the SVGs above, all the components are completely unconnected). --Seans Potato Business 20:32, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

 * As far as I know, there's no way to do exactly that for objects - you can do it for text with Text -> Put on Path but that's probably not very helpful. The next closest things I can think of are the "Align and Distribute" and "Grid Arrange" options at the bottom of the Object menu.  Not sure if that's any help, but let me know if you do find what you were looking for. Time3000 (talk) 18:13, 31 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I think it's something we might get in 0.46 - they're calling them "markers"? Don't know if it'd actually be of any use for what I'm trying to do. When is 0.46 due? --Seans Potato Business 22:25, 31 December 2007 (UTC)


 * It could work, but it looks like it's aligning just the centre of the object - I'm not sur if that's what you want? I don't know when 0.46 is due out, but you could always download the development version and and give it a go.  Time3000 (talk) 10:41, 2 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Inkscape 0.45 crashes often enough for me, so I think I'll give 0.46 a miss for now. :::::Aligning objects along a Bezier curve is a sort of work around but changing the path wont change the flow of the pattern based upon it. --Seans Potato Business 11:29, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Help with an SVG
This image: Image:Omphalea distribution Madagascar.svg has a black square in it. How do I remove it? In inkscape I don't see it... Thanks in advance. Removing the square yourself would be good, but even better would be to tell me how to avoid it happening again. Pro bug catcher (talk • contribs). 01:03, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

It looks like when you create a text area in inkscape by clicking and dragging, inkscape puts a "flowRoot" bit in the SVG it creates to say that the text should occupy this particular area. It then writes this to the output file, but gives the SVG version as 1.0 or 1.1 - despite the fact that "flowRoot" is only supported in SVG 1.2. I've fixed the map just by getting rid of the "flowRoot" bit (since it isn't actually needed) but to avoid it in future it's probably best to create text by clicking but not dragging. Hope that helps! Time3000 (talk) 15:29, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you, it does. If it's not too hard to explain, how did you get rid of the "flowRoot"?Pro bug catcher (talk • contribs). 19:46, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * SVG files are just normal text, so you can open it in a text editor (e.g. notepad), search for "flowRoot", delete that part of the file and resave it. In case you're interested, the stuff I deleted was:

 * Great thank you very much! Pro bug catcher (talk • contribs). 01:08, 28 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I got irked enough at inkscape to hand-code my SVGs, so... yeah. FT2 (Talk 04:07, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Torrey Canyon
Your edit for NPOV is puzzling. Do you think there's a WP:R source to the effect that the bombing of the vessel was a well-conceived and executed operation? The BBC ref certainly says the Cornwall emergency planners don't think it was in hindsite.LeadSongDog (talk) 18:44, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * To be honest, the edit was just on general principles that "botched" is not NPOV - I would prefer something like "badly executed". If you think "botched" is better though, feel free to revert it.  Time3000 (talk) 20:57, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
