And vector capabilities. While Photoshop is paint only with a lot more unnecessary features.
You see in the bottom left corner? Where it has:
Fill: [Coloured box]
Stroke:[Coloured box] #
Where "#" is a number? Right clicking the number will give you some quick options, or you can double click any part of that section to bring up the Fill and Stroke menu, which can also be accessed by pressing Ctrl+Shift+F or right clicking a vector path and selecting "Fill and Stroke".

Re: The Inkscape Help Thread
Blurry? when you select a line and bring up 'fill and stroke', choose the 'stroke style' tab on the far right and change the 'width'.
Ahhh... Nameless taking his first baby steps in Inkscape. This will be day to remember!Spoiler

Re: The Inkscape Help Thread
While in Fireworks the group tool will effectively merge layers, in Inkscape it is used to collect paths in groups to better manipulate the selection (e.g. changing the fill and stroke for the whole group or transforming the group). To combine separate paths into a single path, select all the paths and use the Union tool (Ctrl++, or Ctrl+Shift+=). You may find that some shapes have been closed, and that others will not have been joined properly, but all the nodes are part of the same object, so you can use the node tool (located just below the Save, Print, Import and Export buttons in the top left).
Personally, I use the "Pen" tool, which is just below the pencil tool. While the pencil tool allows you to draw lines, and places nodes automatically, the "pen" (I'm not sure as to its actual name) tool allows you to place nodes, and draws the lines automatically.

That's actually pretty good for a first attempt, Nameless.

It's been a bit, GitP. If you're reading this, you're either digging through old stuff, or I've posted for the first time in forever.
If you want to stay in touch, reach out to me on twitter (same username).
The best answer is always to ask your DM.
Unless you're the DM, in which case you should talk to your players.

Re: The Inkscape Help Thread
Interesting fun fact I just discovered: Inkscape apparently DOES have an undo history window. I thought it didn't because I could never find it in the menus, but an accidental set of button presses (Shift + CTRL + H) just uncovered it. So that's neat to know.
(Also if everyone else knew this I shall proceed to feel very silly.)

Re: The Inkscape Help Thread
You know how when you copy (ctrl+alt+v) an object and it's not in the exact same position as the original? Is there any way to prevent this? Or do I have to manually adjust it?
It really annoys me.
Thanks in advance

^: You SHOULD!!
Anyway, here's one that's been popping out a lot lately in my PM box.

Voilà, now you have a full hair that can be used in Anime based OotS.Last edited by Crimmy : Tomorrow at 26:72 DM.

Re: The Inkscape Help Thread
I'm trying to make glasses for my oots-styled characters but seting opacicy to 0 does it for the "stroke" as well. Any ideas?

Re: The Inkscape Help Thread
aha, another solution though much harder I figured out is using the pencil tool.

Re: The Inkscape Help Thread
Putting text in a speech bubble:
First, draw a rough oval and write out your speech. You don't need any line breaks.
Selecting both, choose the "Flow into Frame" option, or press Alt+W.
This is the result, and you can change the size of the oval to give you:
A basic speech oval. (The words re-will wrap automatically)
You can either use it like this, or a recommended tactic is to make the oval fully transparent or move it out of frame, and then draw a new bubble, complete with tail, as the text in this bubble is a bit close to the edge.

Re: The Inkscape Help Thread
Thank you much. :)
Is there a way to set up text so it defaults to a smaller font, or do I need to resize it every time?Last edited by ResplendentFire; 2009-06-11 at 06:33 AM.
