I put up a bug report about editing text when we had the bug party, then added extra information when I saw a comment yesterday. Now the whole report seems to have vanished. What gives? -- Bungee

Thanks Kuswanto that sounds pretty simple, I might even be able to DO that! another question, how do I get my messages here to read normally. i.e. without all the computer-ese everywhere?

Sorry, I'm really dazed !! Hi people, thanks to your helps I tried again the steps Phil noticed me. I saw that after the assigning of a new Pattern to fill the shape, Inkscape shows three powerfull handsets to manage the picture. There is an handset to move the picture into the shape, one to rotate it and one to scale it. Powerfull, really powerfull, better than in many other editors (es. the heavy macromedia freehand) R.

>Could you back up briefly and summarize the kind of artwork you're >doing where it helps to compare the two shapes you're tweaking? The first is an Escher lizard, the second is a clone (or a copy) of it, and I want to tweak the first so that it exactly fits the rotated copy of itself. __________________________________________________ Phil Hibbs | Capgemini | Rotherham Technical Consultant __________________________________________________ This message contains information that may be privileged or confidential and is the property of the Capgemini Group.

Delete the picture >I tried many times, but it's not possible, it deletes both :-) You should just have the picture selected. Inkscape has created a pattern using the picture, so you can just delete it. I don't understand why you can't delete the picture that you inserted in step 1. >>4. Select the object, and assign the new Pattern as the fill. >Where is this command ?

>Fill the circle with the picture, that should do the trick. I tried this the other day, it's nice, but there are a few steps to get it right. 1. Drop the picture into the document, move it over the object and resize it so it lines up how you like it 2. Edit -> Object(s) to Pattern (Alt-I) 3. Delete the picture 4. Select the object, and assign the new Pattern as the fill. If you move the filled object around, the pattern moves with it. If you select all the nodes and move them, it doesn't. This is quite a cool effect. Is there a way of moving or rotating the pattern once it's in the object? __________________________________________________ Phil Hibbs | Capgemini | Rotherham Technical Consultant __________________________________________________ This message contains information that may be privileged or confidential and is the property of the Capgemini Group.
