Ubuntu Inkscape problems

[izak]

Hi all

Ok, I've got a very strange Inkscape bug, so I'm going to describe it in some detail:

I've created a graph in python using matplotlib and saved it as an svg. However, when I open it in inkscape only the axes of the graph are displayed and not the data. But, when I ungroup everything, I can see the bounding boxes of the datapoints. However, I can't see the ellipses that make up of the datapoints (it's as if they have no fill). I can select one, try to fill it, shift it to the front, make sure the opacity is set, but it remains stubbornly invisible.

Now here's the weird part: If I open the same file with the windows version of Inkscape, everything is visible as it should be. Also if I export the file to EPS (using Ubuntu inkscape) the graph becomes visible again.

Can anyone help me? Please! Or is this just a bug

What colour are the axis?

Everything is supposed to be black. It is black in the original plot and black when I open it with the windows inkscape.

Did you post it on launchpad?

and do you know any good documentation for INkscae that I can use ?

Thanks

I posted it on the sourceforge inkscape mailing lists. What's launchpad?

Nope sorry, I don't use inkscape extensively, basically it's just a way to enable me to edit my matplotlib plots slightly (correct spelling mistakes etc.).

you can use launchpad to post any bugs you have. It's quite neat and more people will look at what you post. Here's the inkscape page: https://launchpad.net/Inkscape .You will need to register though.
