Re: [Inkscape-user] Fill with multiple outline segments

From looking at .svg files and at the SVG spec, I have the impression

that what I'm asking for is impossible at the level of the file format, much less the GUI. Is that correct? Is it likely that SVG might ever have such a capability?

I'd like to be able to create a single filled object whose outline has multiple segments, with the multiple segments having different colours and styles.

I have a fudged example at http://audilab.bmed.mcgill.ca/~funnell/test_fill_multsegs.svg where I've overlaid 2 objects to get the desired visual effect.

Is there a way to do this in such a way that I can later edit the shape of the outline and have the fill adjusted automatically?

Thanks.
