Inkscape Tutorial Shapes

Write this to urge yourself not to slack off, rijiguibu

innkscape has four shape tools, and each shape can be customized with many attributes. Use the draggable adjustment bars and parameters to create the shape we want.

For example, you can change the angle, length, number of vertices, etc. of a star (shape). Of course, after you set these properties, the star will still be a star. Shapes are a little more demanding than simple paths, but they are more interesting and practical. You can convert a shape into a path (Shift+Ctrl+C), but you can’t do it the other way around.

Shape tools include rectangle, ellipse, star and spiral. Some frequently used operations will be explained below, and of course the details will also be covered.

Tips

If you want to create a new shape, click the Shape Tool in the toolbar, then click and drag the mouse in the canvas to complete. When you finish creating the shape, there will be adjustment bars on the canvas to adjust the shape. Drag them and see what changes will happen - curiosity will let you know more about me.

The four shapes will have adjustment bars in the shape tool and node tool. When you move the mouse over the adjustment stick, a prompt will appear in the status bar below to tell you the function of the adjustment stick.

Rectangle Tool

The rectangle is simple but the most common in our lives and works. inkscape makes rectangles easier to draw.

Switch to the Rectangle Tool with F4, or click on the Rectangle Tool. A blue rectangle is drawn below:

Shortcut keys for drawing a rectangle:

• Use Ctrl to draw a rectangle with a fixed ratio (2:1, 3:1, etc.);
• Use Shift to draw a rectangle with the starting point as the center.

As you can see, there are adjustment sticks on the three corners of the selected rectangle. The adjustment sticks in the upper left corner and lower right corner play the role of adjusting the size of the rectangle. The adjustment stick in the upper left corner controls the size of the rounded corners.

Below, the first two rectangles have rounded corners, and the other two corners are ellipses:

Usually the rounded corners in a work are fixed, even if the rectangle is as big as a house or as small as a dog house.

Using inkscape, you can easily complete this task: modify the rounding degree in the x direction and y direction in the status bar above the canvas
