In the meantime actually I found another way of doing it: draw a cross (vertical+horizontal lines), then select the circle drawing tool, press and hold ctrl.+ shift, place the cursor at the intersection of the two lines, click and drag to draw the circle. I think Aurèle's method is better though, more acurate. Guillaume

Hi.

I am new to Inkscape and have a seemingly simple problem, but I can't find a solution for it. I would like to create something like the yellow-pink egg as shown in the easter egg tutorial (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1493939&gro...), however, without black borders at the top and bottom of the yellow area.

Another example for what I want to achieve is http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b4/Inkscapepiom1.png/8... The wings of that insect have a darker area which touches the border of the wings (I don't want there to be a gap between the darker area and the border though) but does not have a border itself.

I had a look at all tutorials I could find so far, but none of them gave me a hint. I hope that someone can enlighten me :)

Regards, Florian
