Thanks for the extra info, will remember that!

Nevermind, worked out to duplicate and flip, though aligning the 2 small dots was tricky, but I got it to work.

Please delete thread if necessary etc. Cheers.

Hi, I'd like to create a radial displacement of scaled dots. I created a simple circle, then did and Edit > Clone > Tiled Clones - to make a column of 15 dots with each clone -5% smaller than the original: http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f224/poet666d/dots.jpg I then group them and apply a radial ...

Nice looking filter, thanks for sharing. How do you "combine" it with a gradient though? When I create a solid gradient fill, then go to filter editor and select either option, it either turns the whole gradient black and white or the same blue and orange as the filter, not a combination o...

Thanks for all the help so far. Managed to follow your tutorial instructions now (the added instructions finally helped me get my head around it. Cheers! :) ) and am getting some good results. Nothing as good looking as the original design... yet. Have been playing also with offset and outset/inset ...

I went back to the start and looked at how Inkscape does its strokes. I created the below with 3 layer, a white filled 1px stroke text, a white filled 3px white stroked, and a 3px brown stroked. Then drew the line and duplicated x10 and used row/column (I think that way gives nicer control of placem...

Here: http://www.gimptalk.com/index.php?/topic/50223-engraved-inline-text-tutorial/ Though the stroke path...

Hmm, thanks for the tip. Will double check in a while (need an eye break for a bit) though pretty sure I followed every step as written. However, for now I have worked out a way to get pretty close to the effect using Gimp and the "Layer Effects" script from the Plugin Registry which allow...

Wow. Impressive results. 8-) Thank you so much for taking the time to do that and write it out for me. Am having problems replicating though. Steps 5 and 6 (the hatched fill) work perfectly and with a little tweaking I have a nice hatched fill (though I had to go Object>rows and columns rather than ...

Hi! Am pretty new to Inkscape after years of faking/making it with the Gimp. Am trying to reproduce the effect in this (illustrator) Tutorial: http://fontfeed.com/archives/engraved-festive-type/ http://fontfeed.fontshopusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/engraved_831.gif 8-) (for those interested in ...
