Hello, I am trying to create a climate map, (like the koppen climate map), in which each shaded area represents a different climate. I'm not quite sure how to go about doing this using inkscape. I have the continent coastlines ready, but how do I draw each climate area without spaces between each on...

Hello, I am trying to select all items on a layer, and fill them the same colour. However, some smaller items are being filled with a lower Alpha opacity so the colour is not uniform among all selected objects. Is there any option to make fill the same (including alpha) on all selected objects? Than...

Will they mask the ocean by default?

A problem I'm facing is that, if I colour the land say brown and change the opacity slightly, the inland seas also change in opacity and become a slightly different colour from the ocean. I'm probably missing a very basic or obvious step...

Thanks.

Hello, I am currently trying to colour a map (an elevation map, with several different shaded areas). There are some 'inland seas' which I traced onto the same layer as the continents, so when I try to fill them the same colour as the ocean, they are affected by the continents' colours. Do I need to...

Hello all, I currently have quite an intricate coastline drawn out (mostly using the pencil tool), but as I haven't drawn it in one continuous stroke, and have stopped and started in various places, it seems that the coast is not one long path, and I can't fill it. Is there any way to join all the p...

Hi all, sorry to bother with my questions again. This time, I have imported a raster image which I am tracing manually with the bezier curves tool - once I have finished tracing, how do I remove the original raster image so I can colour and alter my new 'vector trace' as I like? As usual, I am proba...

Thanks for the replies guys, sorry I forgot to mention it is a raster image. Tracing the coastline manually seems like it might work ok as long as I zoom in enough to not miss any parts.

Hello all, and thanks for the help so far - I have currently ran into another problem. I am trying to edit a map to show various dialect groups, I am doing this by shading selected areas and providing a key. My problem now is, when I draw a path around an area with one 'edge' being the coast, I cann...

Hello all, I am very new to inkscape, so please bear with me and my questions. I am trying to draw a rectangle, but it is only showing me the 'outline' lines (the dotted lines) not a proper straight line when I draw it. Does anybody know how I can fix it or am I missing something? Have I perhaps cha...
