I'm a new Linux user.  Is it okay if I come to your meeting next Thursday?

Specifically tracing raster images and manipulating

Re: [BLUG] OCT Meeting Topic

Hey Ben, I just wanted to saw that those are excellent drawings. If
you can, you should submit those to Inkscape's website as samples.

Re: [BLUG] OCT Meeting Topic

I do a fair amount of stuff with inkscape.. I could probably give a
presentation on it. Autotrace is built into inkscape and is pretty easy
to use, provided that your starting material isnt too messy. Scribus,
qcad, and gimp also have their uses.

Here's something I just drew today in inkscape:

here's another one i really like:
http://fenn.dyndns.org/pub/sketches/emc-splash/fanuc-illust.png

I also need to mess around with vector formats for making printed circuit
boards. HPGL, RS-274X, postscript, dxf.

Postscript is fun to play with too, for highly algorithmic stuff. i.e:
http://fenn.dyndns.org/pub/irc/encoder-panelized.ps

I would probably need someone else to provide a computer for the
presentation, as my laptop is too slow for this stuff.

[BLUG] OCT Meeting Topic

I could stand to hear a few hours about vector images,
format(s) and editors if anyone here feels like
talking.
