How can I achieve sets of concentric arcs shown here: http://pics.nexuizninjaz.com/images/54o ... xzmg3l.png
Is there a simple way to do this?

It's not in the devel version, so I guess it's fixed.

When I have something (let's say 50 px long) that I want to make longer (90 px), inkscape doesn't go immediately to 90px if I enter it in the Width field. Instead, it goes to 80.7, then to 89.6, then to 89.993, etc. It takes several entries to make it 90. How can I eliminate this behavior?

Oh, OK then. Just as long as it's not a bug unique to me.

Oops, did I say memory? I meant CPU.

For some reason, inkscape's memory usage can spike to 50% on a dual core system. I am using ubuntu 8.10. Is this normal?

Thank you, early blake, that is exactly what I was looking for. It's too bad that there is no simpler way though.

Ok. Picture one: The square has been cloned and tiled. Top right is real. Picture two: One side of square has been bent. Other side has not been bent in the exact same way. Notice the varying thickness of the border due to incorrect alignment. What I want to do is to bend two sides in the exact same...

I am trying to achieve a tessellation effect with inkscape. I was able to successfully tile clones with the 'Tile Clones' dialog, but the thing that gets me is trying to move the opposite borders of a figure (let's say a square) exactly together.

Excellent. Thank you.

Thanks, but my edges don't turn out straight.

Hmm, didn't think of that. Works beautifully, though. Thank you.

Sorry, but there are eight nodes. which ones?
And what do you mean by stroke caps?

Attached is an svg with two partly transparent groups. If you overlap them, then the transparancies affect each other. Is there a way to avoid this?

I realize that, but that is not as precise as deleting nodes. Is there a way to delete nodes from a circle and not have a complete circle left over?

I want to know how to make an rss icon. I found the following tutorial, but it is for illustrator and I'm not sure how to do it in inkscape. I am having problems with making the waves from a circle.

I do know how to use them, but I don't know how to use them to make flames. Sorry if I come across as stupid.

All my flames end up looking like blobs, could someone post a more in-depth tutorial?

I want to know how to do flames in the style in the link, my experience with inkscape is average at best.

Like in this image:

I'd like to know how to make vector flames that could be part of a fire. I have a strange suspicion it has to do with paths bur would like a confirmation and a tutorial. Thanks.

Yes, this is exactly what I meant. Thanks.

So what I am asking is how you closed the path without going to the starting point.

No. Okay, let me rephrase this: I need to make a beizer that is not a closed shape, like in step one on the original link in post 1.

No, what I meant was this: See how that beizer curve is thin and not closed? Like it's only the thickness of it's stroke? That's what I want to do.
