Changing SVG with inkscape from command line

One can do more than simple convert vector to raster drawings with inkscape from the command line. In fact, there are other tools if the goal is just converting files, as rsvg and convert. With inkscape, is also possible to change the drawing, using verbs . From the inkscape man page , we can find the folowing example: Duplicate the object with id="path1555", rotate the duplicate 90 degrees, save SVG, and quit: inkscape filename.svg --select=path1555 --verb=EditDuplicate --verb=ObjectRotate90 --verb=FileSave --verb=FileClose Googling a little on inkscape "--verb" , I did find more examples , a list with the available verbs and details from the inkscape wiki .

Google Logo to Goostavo

I was looking for a way to make a colored logo likes Google's to use for my kid's name. Here is a simple tutorial on how to make the colored 3D effect with inkscape. If I had the Catull type face, used by Google, it would be very cool to write my son's name (Gustavo) as Goostavo ;-) ( done at May 13, 2010 ) Catull Type face (tutorial done with Catull, results at " Done - with Catull type face ")

All my avatars until now

Who runs more?

I've finally finished the visualization for my grad school visualization class. We had to use data sets from the UCI Machine Learning Repository . I have choose the auto-mpg data set, which has data concerns city-cycle fuel consumption. This particular data set has 398 tuples with 9 attributes. So I've decided to show which motor model (number of cylinders) runs more with one gallon. The visualization is just bellow. I had computed the data using simple PHP scripts with PostgreSQL sql queries. With gnuplot , I plotted the output of the script, saving the plots as SVG files, which, using inkscape , I've made the proper manipulations to get this work.
