[solved] Triangle Out problem

Postby jonix » Sat Mar 19, 2016 7:41 pm

Hi,

When using the 'Triangle Out' setting with the Bezier or Pencil tool the line that is drawn is always 'Triangle In'. Does anyone know if this is a bug or am I doing something wrong? I have had a look for a solution but can't find anything....its driving me mad.

J


PS. I am using Inkscape 0.91 on Winodws 8.1 64bit.

Ah yes, this is a known problem, and appears to be already fixed in the development version.

Hi Brynn,

Thanks so much for your swift reply :) Now I can get on with exploring Inkscape and stop trying to get 'Triangle Out' to work :)

Bear in mind that triangle-in and out are just shortcuts to the Pattern Along Path LPE (live path effect). You can get more power by using the LPE directly. See my tutorial in issue 106 of Full Circle Magazine (free download), though you might need to look at the previous few instalments too for a more general introduction to LPEs:
