Thanks - will try tomorrow. Happy 4th!

Thank you, Ragnar.

However, I'm afraid it didn't work. Please see attached screenshot showing that the two ends are still separate.

Hello Inkscape gurus! I have been doing pretty well with Inkscape figuring things out and googling and what not (I think), but I have run into a question that I haven't been able to figure out. I am creating a shape using the calligraphy tool and tweaking it using several tools, mainly the path tool...

I thought that I had just posted my question here on the forum.

Also, can you tell me more about what is " #inkscape chat on IRC ? " I have no idea what that is.

I have a list of specific things that I'd like to be able to do, and the time that it will take me to figure them out with online tutorials is too...
