Thanks folks. I am in fact only concerned with screen (web) display. What got me thinking about this at all was that the bitmaps I was getting were slightly distorted. Not horrible, but slightly glitchy-looking circles, etc.. Led me to wonder about the stated dpi being so low; other than that, I wou...

We may not need to know the theory behind it, but there are big implications for what we do every day. Do you create your vector images at very *small* sizes, to allow them to be converted to high quality bitmaps? If we were talking about bitmaps (like pictures), it'd be the other way around. You'd ...

I'm having trouble getting my head around the relationship between the size of a vector object, the size of an exported bitmap, and the resolution of the exported file. It's not that I don't understand what happens, it's just completely backwards from how it should be intuitively, to me anyway. Say ...

@brynn: Thanks for trying this. I wasn't able to get that working the way I wanted either. @druban: That's roughly what I did, only I just nudged nodes outwards from the center by the same amount. I wasn't dealing with circles, so it was messier to do, but it was possible. Not entirely accurate, but...

Sorry to keep posting to my own thread, but I think all I want is to move all the nodes of the composite object (inner and outer paths) outwards from their common center by the same number of pixels.

Simple when I say it, but don't know how to do it.

Actually, as I think about it, I don't want the distance between the two objects to be constant everywhere around their perimiter, I just want it to stay the same while I resize it. The text-converted-to-paths scenario is very close -- what was varying stroke in the original text is now distance bet...

Hmmm, that is the same issue, thanks, didn't find it. But mostly people seem to be saying it's not possible, The one post that thinks they did it says, "been able to reproduce that sort of scaling (also) by using circle shapes as linked or dynamic offsets, can't remember which..." Hadn't h...

(Inkscape newb here. Great program!) I have a shape that's a path with another one inside, same idea as a letter O. I'd like to resize it larger, but keep the distance between the inner and outer shapes the same as it is now. Using the letter O analogy, I want to keep stroke width the same. Just to ...
