I would use Inkscape for the case where for each source image, you need to make multiple cards with different sections covered. For example, you can: 1. Paste a map of Europe into Inkscape 2. Go to file -> Document Properties and click "Resize page to fit drawing" 3. Create a filled ellipse or other shape for hiding parts of the map 4. Drag the ellipse over a country 5. Go to file -> Export Bitmap and save the drawing as a new PNG image which can be added to Mnemosyne later 6. Then simply drag the existing ellipse over another country and go back to step 5, until you've exported a PNG for every country on the map. It's a pity you can't simply copy the image to the clipboard from Inkscape and paste it directly into a card in Mnemosyne. That's one advantage Anki has with its very good multimedia support. best of luck, Oisín > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "mnemosyne-proj-users" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected] > . > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msg/mnemosyne-proj-users/-/a8IlYuykly4J. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mnemosyne-proj-users" group.
