The BMP's produced by imagemagick could not be loaded using the Windows API function LoadBitmap(). What I do instead is load the SVG in Gimp with the correct dimensions and then copy and paste the image to MSPaint. It's lengthy work, but it pays off.

Thanks. Unfortunately, for the smallest bitmaps, it still looks messed up. The smallest is 21x21 pixels. I tried turning anti-aliasing off in Inkscape 0.91 for the document, but turning it off does not seem to apply to exported files. I'm going to try another option which is to import the SVG into G...

It seems that the latest Inkscape really restricts your export options. I have a number of SVG images that need to be exported to monochrome bitmaps of various sizes. The requirement for there to be various sizes is why I used Inkscape in the first place to create images. Unfortunately, even though ...

Thanks, all. I went with a new path and it fixed it.

I set both stops of the gradient for a path to full-on black (R=0, G=0, B=0, A=255) so that there would be a solid, uniform stroke running along the path. Unfortunately, even with this setting, the line still "fades out." Again, the gradient has only 2 stops. Each stop is set to the color ...

Solved it by making sure the road object was on top.

See the pictures below. I'm trying to make the black rectangle with the white rectangle inside it (which is a single group of paths) on the left serve as the pattern for the path on the right. As I show below, I follow the instructions laid out here: http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Exte...

Is it possible to create a path from a cross-section? For example, I'd like to draw a cross-section road with lanes and things like this, and then use a path to make it twist and wind its way through.

I am using Inkscape v0.48 on Windows 8.1 64-bit. Though I can access it initially when I open a file, after I do really any sort of other work, I become unable to modify the location or dimensions of an object via the numerical tool in the toolbar. In fact, the location and dimension often cease to ...
