[solved] Converting Transform Matrix into Path Data for

Postby Andy_D » Mon Sep 08, 2008 4:43 am

Hi there

I am trying to import a saved path from Inkscape into degrafa for flex as an svg data defenition

To create the path I used a skew transform in Inkscape. This does not get converted into the path data in the SVG file, but instead appears within a transform defeniton as matrix values. My problem is that I can find no way of using the matrix values in degrafa, which can only load the path data. Hence the change made by the transform is lost.

Is there a trick to remove the matrix values from the defenition by effectively "baking" the transform into the path data in SVG?
All help much appreciated

Andy

The answer is yes!

Simply select the Path and choose Path > Simplify

(in case anyone else was wondering... :roll: )

Alternatively, make sure you have "Store transformation" set to "Optimized" (in the Transforms section of Inkscape Preferences), and then move the path.
