Hi, I know there a lot of expert Inkscape users here so I'd like your advice on something I was thinking. I wanted to draw some pattern with lines like the ones seen in dry lands, see attached file for an example. My first approach was to draw a grid (starting with one rectangle and Tiled Clones) and using Jitter Nodes on it, but it doesn't work. Then I realized that what I need is a line with nodes with more than to segments conected. In this case every node would connect four segments except for the ones on the edges which would have three and the four ones on every corner which would only have two. I believe there is no way to make such an object in Inkscape 0.45, is it at all posible in SVG? has someone found this kind of object interesting or usefull? Thanks in advance for your reponses. Regards,
Facundo

It's not possible as such in SVG (although you can have "disconnected" segments in one path, so you could go a long way towards faking it). And yes, at the very least I find it interesting :) But whether it's useful? For example, for the kind of pattern you want to create you would probably be better off using a path as "stroke" (so not a grid-like path with a stroke, but a path whose fill forms the "stroke", what you get when you use "Stroke to Path").
You mean something like this file? The problem with this is that it's hard to keep the width of the lines contant. I'll keep it in mind and see if it could be usefull for what I'm trying to do. Thanks for your reply.

That's indeed what I meant. Judging from the photo I'd think having non-constant width paths would be an advantage :)
like this?

yes, something like that, with horizontal and vertical lines could make it. I'll work with it a little to see if I can get what I want. Thanks.

PD: si, hablo español.

You may be able to render such a pattern using L-systems (Effects-
Render->L-System)
I'm not an expert on L-systems but I have seen similar things done with them...if you can't accomplish what you need using Inkscape's built-in L-system parser you might be able to find another that can produces SVG output.
You won't have the line "connected" as you discuss, but you can of course draw two lines so that one touches the middle of the other.

you can convert to trace, draw a rectangle a make a intersection whit the lines and the rectangle.
