Inkscape is an open source software that is almost equivalent to corel draw, although not as famous as the corel draw itself.

As usual before we get into the tutorial session, I want to invite you first to know what is inkscape? to make it easier for us to use this software. The tutorial I will share on this occasion is how to create a logo from a letter. On this occasion I came back again with a design tutorial using Inkscape software. You can ungroup them by navigating to Object>Ungroup, or alternatively press the combination Shift+Ctrl+G.Good morning everyone! hopefully you are always in good health and can perform daily activities and routines as usual, and hopefully today is better than yesterday. Once done, the result will be a group of the two paths (the original fill, and the original stroke converted to a path). Go to Path>Stroke to Path, or simply use the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+C.Select a path that has a stroke (if it doesn’t, this whole procedure won’t work).The procedure is straightforward, just apply the next two steps in order to convert a stroke to a path: To convert a stroke to a path means that you take that area covered by the stroke and make it a path with a fill color the same as the original path’s stroke color, and the newly generated path will have no stroke (stroke color is set to None), the same happens to the original path (the stroke will also be set to None).Īfter such an operation you can treat the previous stroke as a path, for example, you can add a stoke to that path, apply any path effect, or apply Boolean operations upon this path and another one (addition, subtraction, intersection, … etc.).

One parameter of the stroke is its width which is how much of the boundary (both inside and outside the path) does the stroke cover.

What Does It Mean To Convert the Stroke to a Path? Now what is the benefit of having two characteristics to paths (the fill and the stoke)? Adding more parameters to any object make, the object more useful on one hand, and on the other it makes thing organized. Note: you can omit the fill color or the stroke by setting it to None, yet if you set both to None you can’t see the path despite its existence.
