Also, it's not necessary to read through from start to finish. All the steps in this tutorial could be done in less than 2 minutes, by a complete Inkscape novice, if they didn't have to read the info in between the steps. ![]() This is one of those cases where it takes MUCH longer to write about and read about, than it takes to actually do the work. Unfortunately, it's mostly text, because I don't seem to have a screen capture tool that will capture the mouse pointer, which is a very important part of drawing paths with Inkscape. And even a long and very skinny rectangle shape could be called a line, without being a path at all.īefore you read on, I should say that this is a very long tutorial. Sometimes a closed path with a fill (color) can look like a line. And a compound path is made up of 2 or more, open or closed paths it could have any even number of ends. A closed path has no ends (like a circle, for example). ![]() An open path is probably what beginners would think of as a line it has 2 ends. There are 3 types of paths - open, closed, and compound. But it's not just a matter of terminology. What we generally think of as a line, is called a path, in Inkscape. ![]() That's because "line" is a bit of a nebulous term, at least in Inkscape.although in some ways it can be confusing in any vector graphics program. New Inkscape users are sometimes frustrated when they search the manual (or forum) for how to draw a line, and can't find instructions. How to Draw a "Line" with Inkscape - An Introduction to Paths
