Image pattern problem

Postby petljalo » Fri Jun 03, 2016 7:38 pm

Hi,

I am using Inkscape 0.91. I have a problem with image patterns.

I import seamless image and create pattern from it. When I use this pattern I can see transparent lines alongside pattern edges, like tiny gaps. I checked the pattern many times and there is no transparent line in the image. To confirm I just aligned to imported images next to each other and Inkscape is again showing gap between aligned objects, so this is present even when not converting image object to pattern.

Is there a way to go around this?

Best Regards,
Sasha

These thin lines are rendering gaps.

Lazur wrote an article how to get rid of them, here:

The trick is to make your shapes overlap a bit.

With pattern fill its a bit trickier. Do not use a pattern with a filled background. Instead put a colored duplicate underneath your patterned object to get the colored BG.

For more trickery on that topic, read this thread:
