Title: Patterns from inkscape
Post by: jscott2 on December 02, 2012, 06:38:13 pm
In the Pattern Request section I mentioned something I had learned about Inkscape.  Probably most of you know it but I didn't so there might a few others who don't.

When I tried to make a pattern from text, I could never get nice sharp lines to follow.  I would change the colour of the text to a light grey, then try to trace the bitmap - it never gave a sharp line to follow.  Very frustrating.

Finally I tried tracing the bitmap first, then changing the inside colour to a light grey.  It worked like a charm.

Hope this is useful.
