Hi,
I'm playing around with the Trace option for tiled clones and I'm having a problem.
I'm creating an 8x8 grid of tiled rectangles overtop of a bitmap (I tried this with a gradient filled rectangle underneath as well). Using the trace tab, i can get the clones to be output based on presence, opacity, and size, but I can't seem to get them to be created based on the underlying object's color as is described here: http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Tiles-Trace.html
I've made sure the base object has an unset fill (which the tooltip and article recommend) but I still can't recreate the example in Tavmjong's guide.
Any clues as to what I'm doing wrong?

Actually, this is very weird. When I check the tiled clones, they DO have the colour that the underlying bitmap image had, but they don't show that colour!? When I click on one of the clones, it shows me a certain colour for fill and stroke, and everything appears to have 100% opacity, but the rectangle clone in question still appears to have it's original stroke and no fill, unchanged. Why would it show me the object has color and full opacity and not show it?
Confused.
