RE: [Inkscape-devel] Inset/outset path, what do they do?
Hi, I'm trying to find a correct translation (to spanish) for the "Inset path" and "Outset path" menu items but I can't figure out what they exactly do.
Just launch Inkscape and try them out :)
I've been able to have a look at Freehand 10 and saw that it has the "Inset path" option under the "Modify/Alter Path" menu. I think this was translated as "Ampliar trazo" in the spanish version which means "Expand path" or "Extend path". Does this make sense? Would the "Outset path" command then be "Reduce path"?
Contrariwise. Inset makes a path smaller (by displacing it perpendicular to the path in each point), outset makes it larger.

What makes you think I haven't? ;-)

Aha, so that's it, in the examples I was trying out I just couldn't see any difference, it just added a few nodes to my path
Thank you.
