Imagine that you highlight your whole initial straight-line rabbit outline shape and do Path/Shape to Path. Let me try to explain what I am trying to find a fix for. You then modify the bezier curves and line thickness, OK. You draw a series of single-line straight-line segments, finally closing the loop behind the rabbit's ear. There is definitely a communication problem here, I know I didn't quite understand Inkscape's use of the terms Path and Stroke, but let's use your demo example. (Your demo is great - is there a note somewhere on howto make/post such demos?). Hi Tyler Yes I know about the N node tool drag etc you show there. If I could press one button and have all these paths thin to a single line following the original line's centrelines, I would be very happy and could more quickly tweak and clean up the drawing finally pressing Path/Stroke to Path to get adjustable-width lines where I needed them (not many). Summary: As I stated at the top of this thread, I draw line drawings on a Wacom Intuos Pad, and the exported SVG output is all filled paths. But with Paths, I have to alter the nodes on both sides of the curve individually, to keep the filled width constant, which is of course twice the work (or more). With single-line curves like the B and P tools produce, it is easy to alter the line to e.g.
My problem comes when I need to bend or drag a part of a curve. Those are both useful and powerful, of course, and I do a lot of that in my tweaking and cleanup editing. with the N command I can drag individual nodes and also alter the Bezier lines between nodes. Either I drag one as a whole, using the S command, or.
for example) and there doesn't seem to be an easy way to manipulate a part of those Path objects. In my work I need to alter drawings which contain mostly constant-width Paths (like curved C tool pen-strokes. Then importing that into Inkscape and doing centreline trace - it did seem to give improved results, perhaps because the lines were closer together to begin with. I also tried opening the image in GIMP, enlarging it to 5000px + width, selecting by colour then shrinking the selection until the smallest lines in the image ( the lines in the eyes ) still had an unbroken selection. It was slightly better I think, but it produced a lot of random tabs that poked out. I also ran it through a free program called F-Engrave which runs a v-bit ( cone shaped tool ) between the two lines, a cone should vary in depth but always give centre. This worked in Ubuntu Inkscape 1.0.1, but crashed Windows Inkscape 1.0.1 I found that creating the bitmap (alt+b) from a 3000px wide version of the SVG did improve things. I had a few attempts at centreline tracing the fox yesterday.
