Filling in the gaps

Postby datumizer » Sun Nov 19, 2017 10:43 am

How do I "fill in" the transparent areas of the attached image with a color using Inkscape? I.e. the buttons should be red. Thanks!

Hi.

If you break the path apart (Ctrl+Shift+K) the subpaths can make an image where there are no gaps and everything can have their own fills.

Hi make a bigger object, rectangle or circle place on top to cover (path) image. When both are selected go to path>exclusion and while both are still selected path>break apart.
