Hello Im real newbie in ingscape so maybe its stupid question, but i can not find a solution - I can not find way how to make paths invisible.
Im always getting result as seen on a picture http://www.visit.me.cz/inkscape/sunset.png
so can somebody please help me to have the picture without the wite lines?

thank you very much

What you are seeing are actually slight gaps between each of the objects allowing the white canvas to been seen.

I think what you need to do is enable the "Stack scans" option when you trace the bitmap. The effect of this option is described here - http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL ... ti-Options

Actually I think the result is pretty cool with the white outlines

aaha, thanks for your answer,
but I did not do the tracing ... now I just have some graphics like that and I need to fix it somehow .... do you have some idea how to fix it in inkscape, please ?
thanx

What we need to do is make all the objects a fraction larger so they overlap slightly to close the gaps

Select the entire drawing (Ctrl+A) then ungroup everything (Ctrl+Shift+G) so we can apply changes to the paths all at once. Now, with all the paths still selected, apply an "outset" to them (Ctrl+)). This process is going to lock-up Inkscape for a minute or maybe much more if your computer is slow, so be patient. And when it's done, we're done.

Note that by default the Outset will make eveything 2 pixels larger. This value can be change in Inkscape Preferences > Steps > Inset/Outset by. 2 pixels is large enough to close the gaps in this image, but if your outset value is too large, it may create too much overlapping and spoil the picture. So you may like to check this value.

Also, you could create this image almost exactly by using just few object with gradients rather than 269 objects. The image would be smoother and the file size much smaller.

yes, that seems to be what need,
thank you very much

and yes this simple drawing I try to do with gradients, but as I said before this was just a sample .... to show what I mean ... I have more dificult ones.
thank you once more
