'SOLVED' Inkscape 0.91 - spiro width

Postby Janne » Wed Feb 11, 2015 6:24 am

I have problems understanding how the spiro tool works now.
The Ellipse tool works as always but triangle in and triangle out are 'strange' ( example shown )
Changing the width in the path editor doesn't do anything.
Changing the stroke width in the bottom of the screen makes it a normal stroke.

Any suggestions? I LOVED that tool :)

Hello
I think that you have added the "pattern along path" effect, when it's not needed.

It seems tha now, whe you add a triangle shape to a drawn path, the stroke width is controled with the "powe stroke effect". Double click in the stroke, and you will see the node handles. Paid attention to one which is pink. When draging that pink node with the mouse you can change the width of the stroke
If you have problems:
1.- Post a sample (or samples) of your file please.
2.- Please check here:

Thank you, Hulf - YESSS - it worked, but it's working very differently now though. Thank you so much :)
