Issue in path effect editor

Postby ranmalm7 » Thu Apr 19, 2018 4:15 pm

Hi,
When I try to change the with of a triangular out line which I drew using the bezier tool, the path effect editor doesnt give me the option to change its with.
Below is the dialog box I get when I open path effects.

1. What is your Inkscape version? (see Help > About, and copy the full version description)
2. The screenshot hasn't been appended. Go to 'Full Editor and Preview' and use the attachment upload tab to upload a screenshot.
For the screenshot, please include the whole Inkscape window, and please switch to node tool.
Something doesn't work? - Keeping an eye on the status bar can save you a lot of time!

The reason the Width option is not there, is because the path is using the Powerstroke LPE. In previous versions of Inkscape, Triangle In/Out was using Pattern along Path LPE, which does have the Width option. But now, it's using Powerstroke.

You can remove the Powerstroke, and apply Pattern Along Path, if that's what you need.
