Thanks, that is interesting. I don't know if that's the source of the problem I've seen, or not. But it sounds like it could be.
All best :-)

I am not certain that I understand your last comment, but perhaps the following may be of interest: https://docs.python.org/2/faq/design.html?highlight=self#why-are-floating-po... https://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/floatingpoint.html#tut-fp-issues

Interesting! Yes, there are several situations where you can make Inkscape perform a little better by adding extra nodes ;-)
Well, in this case, I didn't need absolute precision. I would have liked it. But that was good enough for this project. (I just use Inkscape as a hobby.)
This is another subject, but I recently learned that snapping is somewhat less than precise. Apparently snapping can be off by 0.00001 to 0.0001. Maybe it's what I've seen referred to as "rounding errors", I'm not sure.
Anyway, thanks again! brynn

I am surprised, you were satisfied with the work around. The 'answer' turns out to be one those things that seem obvious after the fact. If you double the number of node you get a better result! Stricly speaking you only need to double the node count for the intersecting segments. Also, it may or may not not surprise you, but you need to add nodes to both objects.
See grab, as proof of concept.

Hi u, No, I don't need a solution for the Difference problem. I already made it work using your first idea. But, I'm always interested to learn new things! What did you find?

Finally found an answer to this. Do you still need a solution?

I hadn't noticed the small remaining overlap as it was hidden by the stacking order.

Hi C R, I just realized something. I use a custom default doc with landscape orientation. Could this be related to the transform attribute issues? I was one second away from posting the bug report when I thought of it. Do you think it should still be posted, given the new info about custom default doc? Or would that explain it?
Btw, ugajin is right about reversing the subpaths. It improves the situation, resulting in less overlap. But there's still a tiny bit of overlap.
(And C R, in my previous message about positioning, I think I probably misunderstood you. Both rings still sit at the same x and y coordinates as before the Difference. So nevermind about that comment :-))

Heh, interesting! I'm getting a new and different offset error in inkscape trunk. It does not appear to be a problem with the difference boolean op, (fortunately) but rather the position of the result is off by a little.
I'm not sure what causes this, but I suspect it's a roundoff error to do with the precision. To fix, simply erase the shapes directly behind your result, or use snapping to snap the
It is a bug though. Whether it's one that can be easily fixed, I have no idea. :)
I say file a bug report for it.

Thanks C R.
That was the first thing I thought too, at first. The bottom object must have a stroke. But as I said, they are both filled with no stroke.
Here's link to SVG file: http://inkscapecommunity.com/jd/imgs/diff-diff.svg . It has the rings already duplicated. So to reproduce, select the top green and top gold rings, and do Difference.
Thanks again :-) brynn

Could not duplicate the error, however if you have a stroke applied to your shapes that is the same colour as your fill, that may explain what we are seeing here. :)
Boolean shape ops are done to fills only, and do not take into account line thickness on the resulting paths (this is intentional).

Hi Friends, It seems like I should know the answer to this. But I don't recall hearing about it. Starting with these 2 rings, which have fill and no stroke: http://inkscapecommunity.com/jd/ss/diff1.png I duplicate both, and then Difference. At 100% zoom they look ok. But zoom in (in this case, all the way, for best view) and you can see that the Difference wasn't correct. http://inkscapecommunity.com/jd/ss/diff2.png It's not a huge amount, but I would expect there shouldn't be any difference at all. This on Windows 7, 64-bit, sp1, Inkscape 0.91, 32-bit, exe installer. Is that a bug? Or is there some reason it's expected not to be precise?
Thanks for your help :-) brynn
