Interpolating (more than two objcts)

Postby Raspi » Fri Jan 27, 2017 11:44 pm

Is that a new 0.92 feature or was it always there ?

What is the difference between Interpolation Method 1 and 2 ?

There always was 2 methods in the extension but both can work only with 2 objects.

Sometimes there is a difference between the results made with the two methods.
Example case -interpolate between a triangle and a rectangle, then superimpose the two resulting groups and switch to outlines only display mode (Ctrl+5 on the numpad twice).

It was already possible to do so at least in 0.91, don't know about previous versions.

The difference is... mathematical. In the manual, there's no mention of it, but the tutorial suggests to just try it out, to find which one looks more similar to what you want for a result. See https://inkscape.org/de/doc/tutorials/i ... te.en.html
