...choose the current snap options based on the current task Got it. Awesome, many thanks! For the record, Inkscape could add functionality to snap the node based on the boundary box (if you were laying down a new path and snap to bounding box were enabled). This would allow me to have a 1px grid, ...

As mentioned earlier, the two snap modes ('Nodes and Handles', 'Bounding Box Corners') don't mix: a bounding box corner does not snap to a node, nor does a node snap to a corner or edge of a (visual) bounding box. I got all that. I'm not sure why you're restating previous points rather than answeri...

Thanks ~suv, I think I'm almost there. I'm able to replicate your results but am still confused about a few things. I think you're giving me two different methods, and I have a question on each. 1) With 0.5 pixel grid spacing, I can then use Node-snapping, because the stroke edges then end up being ...

Plus, the technique only makes odd-width lines look OK. Evens alias. Seems to be the most useful snapping behaviour woul...

But I notice that it's the node of the path that gets snapped to the grid as I draw a 1px wide path, as shown below: screenshot17.jpg As the red circle shows, the positioning of the path is actually on a 0.5 pixel.
