One way in which you can offset a path in Inkscape is by using the Dynamic Offset tool. Offset a path with the Offset path effect Offset a path with the Dynamic Offset feature.Offset a path with the Dynamic Offset feature.Two Methods For Path Offsetting In Inkscape:

The following video tutorial will quickly walk you through how to use each of these features:Ĭontinue on for the written instructions. By using the new Offset Path Effect that was introduced in version 1.0 and above: this new path effect offers more control over the offset, allowing you to create sharp (or “miter” as they’re called) corners, but the downside is that it’s obscured within the Path Effects menu and cannot be accessed as quickly.By using the Dynamic Offset feature: this is a quick and simple feature that can be accessed with only a keyboard shortcut ( Control + J), but the downside is that it forces the corners of the offset to become rounded.No, I think you're asking for a god, lol.There’s two ways to offset a path in Inkscape: But for a program (like inkscape) to write a new program which is unknown to the original program. Could one program ever write other programs? I guess it could, if the other program is known. I don't know how any program could be written (like Inkscape) that could write a program for a tool for any random shape. Not that I really know what those goals are.īut I just can't get past the idea of drawing any random shape, then clicking a button and automatically have a new tool that would make that shape. And I'm not sure if it would fall into the development goals for Inkscape. I think that a feature that would allow someone to draw a shape, and then click a button to have a new tool automatically created, that would draw that shape, would be quite a sophisticated feature indeed. Most Inkscape users don't have those skills.
You want to draw a shape and have a tool magically created that would draw more of those shapes? I guess you'd pretty much have to know programming to create new tools. I think druban's suggestion of using Symbols is more what you're thinking of (although I haven't seen that feature yet). I don't have Word on this machine, but I've used it in the past, and I don't remember any shape having the sophistication of an Inkscape tool. You can make them larger or smaller, or maybe skew them. Word has a lot of different shapes, but I don't think you can do much with them. What if you could add your own designed basic shapes next to ellipse and rectangle tool, that you can later modify with such handles? How to do that? You can set the parameters by the shape's handles -as the rounded corners of the rectangle or the star's spikes. As the mentioned word has plenty of basic shapes, all with parameters. Lazur URH wrote:I was thinking of a way to "predefine" your own shapes. It's also up to you to make sure the sides are straight. Note that when you want to resize this path in a non proportional way you will have to drag each PAIR of corner nodes to its new location. Now CTRL ALT A to select all the nodes in all the sub-paths. This should flip the arcs into your desired orientation. Now you have four straight lines and four lovely little quarter circle arcs.Ĭlick on each arc, press V, then H. Hold down ctrl and drag the little circular handles to round the corners circularly. Try to snap it to the grid when doing so! I like this way a bit better than the circles because the nodes in the result are more precisely positioned.Ĭreate a rectangle. Here's an alternative way to achieve your object. Showing and snapping to the grid makes things much easier, as does using ctrl-drag. Once you edit your rectangle resizing and keeping your corners circular (rather than elliptical) becomes a chore.
