# inkscape

## Install

If your Ubuntu version or derivative has not packaged Inkscape 1.2.2 for you yet, you can install the current version [from our ppa](https://launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/+archive/ubuntu/stable) for Ubuntu 22.04, 20.04 and 22.10:

#### Command Line (any Ubuntu-based distribution):

… when you don't have Inkscape installed yet:

```
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:inkscape.dev/stable
sudo apt update
sudo apt install inkscape
```

… when you want to update your Inkscape installation from your distro's (deb-packaged) one to the ppa one:

```
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:inkscape.dev/stable
sudo apt dist-upgrade
```

## SVG

GIMP v2.8 не експортує растрові зображення у файли SVG. Раніше існував плагін для цього, але цей проект, очевидно, припинено. Ми могли б імпортувати зображення як об’єкт растрового зображення в Inkscape і зберегти його як файл SVG.

Але Inkscape може зробити навіть більше. Ми можемо імпортувати растрові зображення, над якими ми вже вклали так багато роботи, в Inkscape і перетворити їх кількома клацаннями миші на гарну векторну графіку.

<https://askubuntu.com/questions/301540/export-image-as-svg-in-gimp>

1. Open Inkscape.

2. Choose *"File - Import"* to import a bitmap file.

3. Choose to *"embed"* the image.

4. Select the image with the select tool (**↖**).

5. Select *Path - Trace Bitmap...* for settings (below shown for 2 colors = *"Scans"*)

6. Select *"Update"* for a preview until settings are fine.

7. Start tracing with *"OK"*.

   Now a vectorized image of your original bitmap will be seen on top of the bitmap. We can resize or move this newly created object, delete the original image, or choose to *"Object - Ungroup"* in case we need to adapt shapes or colour of sub-object created.

8. If necessary, reduce size of the vectorized image (hold down CTRL to lock ratio), so that it fits on the page. Otherwise it may appear "cropped" when viewed.

9. Use *"File - Save As"* to save your file in SVG format.
