Exporting aligned squares is not accurate

Postby user6 » Sat May 26, 2012 2:57 am

Hello,
I have a problem with exporting aligned squares to bitmap. After exporting there are semi-transparent lines between the squares. I've noticed that it is somehow connected to the dimensions of the bitmap. For example when I have 4 squares (2 x 2) the dimensions have to be even (leaving no remainder when divided by 2) and the bitmap will look OK. But when I want to export something more complex it's rather difficult. I've read here: https://getfreecloud.com/public.php?ser ... export.png

Thanks.

Welcome to InkscapeForum!

Yes, this is a known issue, which I hope will be resolved when we have the new renderer in version 0.49. But meanwhile, this might help you: viewtopic.php?f=29&t=9866 Rather than changing the dimensions, maybe one of the solutions in that topic will work better.

Hi again,
I tried the solution with export resolutions to be multiples of 3, however it didn't work for me. But I have tried another workaround - exporting to big resolutions like 5000x1000 or even 10000x2000 and then scaling the bitmap image in Gimp to the lower resolutions (around 1000x200 in my case). This was much, much better (but still not perfect).

Direct export to bitmap:
