Hello ...
I am trying to use the "pattern along path" to create a simple flower.
But It looks like the "Fill and stroke" attributes of the "Pattern" is not propagated to the pattern "repeated" on the the Skeletton path.
Is it normal ??? or is is due to my poor experience in INKSKAPE ??

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards.

Not sure how you treat your circles but both have issues; in one spot there are not connected points. After a repair the flower looks fine:

Hi ...
Thanks for your answer, but looking at the file you sent (Flo4U.svg) the problem is still there:

If the "pattern-shape" ( the little Green eliptic shape...) is correctly applied to the "Skeleton path" (in our case the "circle"...)
the filling color ( in our case "green" ...) is definitly not applied ....
So the resulting flower is " white " ....instead of "green", as i was expecting.

Anyway thanks for your answer ...
Regards

From my experience this is normal. Apply back the color.. The green ellipse has an issue as well in form of a small gap in the outline BTW:

Thanks a lot Polygon...
It seems to be a known problem...I will have to coop with it..
It might be corrected by a future release.

Pattern along path creates an object with the last style used, doubt there would be any change with it.
The bend lpe can cope with groups -meaning that can preserve multiple fill attributes better.
(Also you would need to repeat the pattern manually and group the duplicants together.)

Gradients won't bend this way either. Illustrator creates gradient meshes for that.

Hello ...
Another question concerning this feature :

The result of the "pattern along path" operation , is, in this particular case the Flower, which is a self contained "Object".

How could I split this object (the so created Flower ...) in a number of individual "Flower petal" objects, so I could treat them "indepedently", to, for exemple, ajust their "Fill and stroke" attribute.
I tried several action without any success....I someOne has a suggestion it would be super.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Cheers.

Select the flower and go Path->Object to Path (shift+cmd+C) then Path-> Disassemble (shift+cmd+K):

If it's for ordering objects in a polar array using tiled clones could be more handy, where you could tweak all petals at once by editing the parent object.

Hello Everybody !!!
To POLYGON : thanks a lot for the solution !!!!

To LAZUR : I am not yet too familliar with this clone stuff ....I will try after reading a little bit more on documentation...Anyway Thanks.


Cheers
