hello,
i've been using inkscape to colour in cartoons. i've been doing this by drawing a block of colour behind the outline, select both and use the path division tool to seperate the excess colour from the bit i want to keep. the problem is that the division tool cuts the outline down to fit the colour. i've had to duplicate the outline first and use that to do the division, then clean up the remnants of the duplicated outline. this is obviously a slow and painful way of working.
what i need is a path tool that does the division thing on the lower vector (the colour) without affecting the upper vector (the outline). is there such a path tool? if not, would it be hard to implement? maybe it could be done with a script or something?
thanks. john michaelson.
