This is a read-only archive of the inkscapeforum.com site. You can search for info here or post new questions and comments at Hello, I am a new user to Inkscape and also fairly new to Vector Graphics.
I am intending to use Inkscape to create printable fantasy maps for use in a game campaign I intend to run for some friends, and I am trying to achieve a particular effect.
If I want to fade an object either in or out starting from the edges, is there a way to do that with the included tools? In some applications, I believe this effect is referred to as an "Angular Gradient".
Specifically I am working on a world map and am trying to use this effect to create a continental shelf under the mainland that seems to drop off into the depth of the ocean. If anyone has an idea how I might achieve this I would appreciate the input!
Thanks!
