Please,
I am considering the use of Inkscape to draw simple maps. The main problem I see so far is the indication of roads. To do this I need to draw sets of two parallel curves a small distance apart. For rivers I need the same feature, but I need to colour the region between the lines.
Go to: http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/ch08s02.html Scroll to bottom.
I also need to create my own objects that I can place anywhere on the map: bridges, canal locks, compass points etc. But I get the impression this is quite easy.
How can I go about this ?
In one document you can simply copy and paste any object you've created. If you are working with multiple documents where you want to use the same objects repeatedly, create a "library" document with all your objects. You can then copy and paste between documents within Inkscape if you open the documents from the same Inkscape process.
