I did do a new version where (in tests) it opens on actual "page" (the drawing area) in Inkscape. If you get the new one, open it and then use the middle mouse button to drag the canvas downwards - the individual pages/slides are arranged down the screen, with related info to the right. Try the various zoom levels in Inkscape to get it to zoom out and show all the stuff on the canvas and then zoom in and drag around. </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">it's very hard to use, too: find it, download it, unpack it, start an application, then follow your words of advice how to use it. a jocular german words for this is 'verschrönkelt', translates as 'convölüte'. </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap="">Well, it's what it is.

I could make pngs or jpgs available, but it seems moot because it's all there in Inkscape and people can make their own. Oh, speaking of images... I just remembered another chap has started putting together some info that includes my diagrams: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.mslinn.com/index.jsp?sites/cairo/index.html">http://www.mslinn.com/index.jsp?sites/cairo/index.html</a> Well, I hope you come right. \d </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
