[Inkscape-user] Making the stroke line to be inside a shape

Hi,

I am new to Inkscape but I am loving it!

I noticed that when I draw a shape, e.g., a rectangle, and add a stroke line to it, the line gets thicker/thin with its center on the shape's border, i.e., the line grows thicker both inwards and outwards the shape.

Is there any way I could make the stroke line in a shape grow inwards only, so that adding a stroke line would not increase the drawing's dimensions?

Thanks for a great product!
