Fill tool leaves a white border?

Postby katsmyth » Tue Feb 24, 2015 3:30 am

Hello as above, how can I get fill tool to go right to the edges of the lines?

Surely a simple solution but i can't seem to find it! Complete novice here :)

Hi.

As a "novice" I reckon you want to "color" objects.
Select object - Press SHIFT CTRL F to bring uo the Stroke and Fill dialog.

In there set the stroke and fill color.

Good Luck

If you really, really want to use the bucket fill tool then take a look at part 21 of my tutorial series: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=11981

Of course the fact that I don't introduce that tool until part 21 should suggest that it's not really the best way to add colour to an Inkscape drawing. As Ragnar said, it might be the Fill & Stroke dialog you're after - covered in parts 4 & 5 of my series (but in that case you may as well start at the prequel, or part 1, to make sure you haven't missed anything vital).
