Changing the color of an object

Postby codedog » Mon Feb 17, 2014 5:50 pm

Hi everyone,

I am an Inkscape newbie trying to understand how it works. For starters I have a need for a rosette in 3 different colours. Here's a blue one: https://openclipart.org/detail/174086/award-ribbon-by-mirek2-174086. Is there any way I can duplicate this and create identical ones in green and red? I have no idea where to even start... any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
D.

Hi.

Download the svg, open it up in inksape.
Then read the corresponding part of the manual:
http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Attributes-Fill-Stroke.html#Attributes-Gradients
http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Attributes-Fill-Stroke.html#Attributes-Gradients-Define-Editor
Enter the group (Ctrl+Enter) and go on.

Good luck!

Hi.

This one is easy, Have a go at some of the Inkscape tutorials.
After completing a few you'll be able to make this in 5 minutes.

First have a look at THE guide; http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/
