I have got a formula in SVG format, which I want to place over a colorful SVG figure. However, the formula has a white background and when I put it over the colorful figure, the white background is shown. Then, I thought that if I could transform the white background into a transparent one, the problem would be solved. Is that possible? How can I get a transparent background? From what you are saying I imagine the object is some text/curves (the

formula) on a white rectangle which are grouped together. If so you can remove the white rectangle in inkscape:

1. press n (node tool)
2. click on the white rectangle, it shoud get selected
3. press del

It is also possible to make the white rectangle transparent:

1. press n (node tool)
2. click on the white rectangle, it shoud get selected
3. press ctrl+shfit+f and play with the sliders for 'Fill' tab

Thanks, Karol. I do not have the white rectangle anymore.
