Inkscape lagging with many nodes from interpolation

Postby 4seasons » Tue Dec 29, 2009 2:13 am

I did a text effect with 50x interpolate and afterwards it became laggy.

Anyway from what i read, it is because of the number of nodes which makes it laggy and is there anyway to work around it?

I've seen suggestions of turning off that interpolate effect layer but hell why would i want to do that as i like to see my overall work result.

Bump. Hello certainly someone will encounter this problem before?

Just try interpolating a text 50x to get the lag i have.

How many nodes does the original text have. If there's too many nodes in that then do Path > Simplify (Ctrl + L). If that doesn't work it may be faster if you view in outline mode (View > Display Mode > Outline). Otherwise, when a program becomes laggy I don't know if there's much you can do about it.
