Sometimes the border/stroke becomes blurry

Postby Novakaiser » Wed Aug 28, 2013 10:52 am

Hey guys, I have a an issue that involves having the border or stroke of 1 to 3 px being blurry, while other border stroke's with the same border / stroke seem to be crystal clear.

As you can see, in the picture I've provided, I have some sort of Top-down tower sprites. the ones at the very left seem really clear and nice, while the same tower but different color and moved over become blurry. I hope someone can provide a fix! Thanks!

Hi.

Anti-aliasing has it's effect on exported png-s.
Inkscape works with a 90 dpi grid.
For such pixel-fitted images you would need to use even px dimensions-coordinates for everything,
and use an exporting area defined by even pixels, and an exporting resolution of 90 dpi.

I should have mentioned that this blur issue is when using the program its self, not when I export an image:

But like you said, my image is not on the proper coordinates. Thanks for the extra notes too about dpi.

There is an extension "pixelsnap" that should work for it's purpose -to make drawing pixel-fitted.
Also you may try to set up a pixel grid in the document's properties panel (Shift+Ctrl+D).
Well none of them can be as good as awareness, but both may help.

I can't wait for svg2.0 and http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/wiki/ ... e_position so that we don't have to bother with pixel snap

addl tip: I've also heard that you should ensure the width and height and all those top boxes have the sizes ending in '0's. See how your width is 34.154, try making it 34.0000 and do that with all sizes, and that is supposed to help with the blurriness issue, somewhat.
