I am new to Inkscape and have learn alot from ready the many useful posts. I need some help creating halftones. I am using simple Graphics & Fonts nothing complicated. (Well it's complicated for me). How would I go about doing this in Inkscape. Thanks for any and all tips.

While having an object selected go to the Fill and Stroke dialog where you can choose a gradient instead of the solid color fill, or go to the Gradient tool and drag over the object to create a gradient that you can edit onscreen.

You might be able to it with the Tile Clone function, but I'm not sure. Checkout the third screenshot on this page - http://www.inkscape.org/screenshots/ind ... rsion=0.42

This mentions an "unclump" can someone do up a quick how to on this one? The results in the image you point to Micro are amazing.

It is in the Align and distribute Panel:

Ok thanks... I was hoping for a quick tut on something like the "e" but I will see what I can figure out.

Did you get this to work, Darth_Gimp? I can't execute the tiled clone trace color-by-color as mentioned in the link.

If you want Trace with color to work, you need to set the fill (and potentially stroke) of the original object to Unset. The reason is that clones always take their fill and stroke information from the original unless it's set to Unset in the original. Only then can clones be independently colored. And since Tiled Clones creates clones and not just duplicates, the original object needs an Unset fill and stroke for Trace with color to work.

Thanks! loving inkscape.
