Hi all,
I'd like to draw a ring on inkscape, what's the best way to do this?
Thanks, a lot... -- Paulo Jorge Matos - pocm at sat inesc-id pt Web: http://sat.inesc-id.pt/~pocm Computer and Software Engineering INESC-ID - SAT Group

Two circles; subtract one from the other.

I'd go with circle tool, with a wide stroke and no fill. If you need a outline then get the width you want this way then do path>stroke to path on it.

This would get me a 2D ring, but I would like something more with a 3D aspect, make a ring from an approximation of an empty cylinder with small heigh or something...

How about concentric circles/elipsoids with graduated concentric fills and no stroke colour? I had a very quick try at this myself and it seemed as though it would work, once grouped the object can then be moved about tilted etc.

ok, still pretty easy, really crude outline of how i'd do it is in the attached.

Don't know what happened but the attachment seems to be borked (can't grab it with sylpheed claws)

I just got an idea: once cchost is made to support SVG images for openclipart.org it may be an interesting idea to deploy it also on Inkscape website as a place to host such type of short tutorials, how-tos, trick&trips - having them in a database with search, keywords, ratings and comments would improve discoverability.
