Circle Outine Creation

Postby Coxside » Sat Dec 20, 2008 10:14 pm

Hi, a very basic newbie question from an Inkscape newbie...

I can create solid circles ok, but I need to just create the outlines of circles. How do I do this please?

Also, is there a way to erase individual pixels. Sometimes when I've drawn a line there is a section that I do not need...

TIA

You can do just a stroke by using the fill & stroke dialog to turn off the fill, and turn on the stroke. it lets you pick the color, width etc too.

As for deleting pixels, thats not something you do with vectors, but you can edit the line in the node tool (F2 :tool_node: ) to adjust it to how you want it. (including deleting sections if you need to)

Hope that helps

Hi -- I thought I'd add a suggestion to check out the Manual and Tutorials under the Help menu, for excellent self-help support. Also the Inkscape Resources forum here.
