I would like to know if there's a chance to incorporate the feature "beveled strokes" into Inkscape sometime in the not-too-distant future. (I'm not sure if SVG supports this, though). Years ago, when I was still using Windows, I had Canvas 7 installed, that had this feature, and I really liked what one can do with that.
Could you explain more about how this feature works? :)
Sure; those are basically gradients one can use as strokes, that give the strokes a 3D look. When using Canvas 7, I once drew a bike, and by assigning a beveled stroke to it, I could draw a nice 3D frame with a metallic look. Unfortunately, don't have an example at hand anymore.
Does this give a rough idea? http://dave.lab6.com/acid/dump/2009/gradient_in_stroke.svg
