Hey folks,
I am a fairly new user of Inkscape and was wondering
how I can create a square that has rounded corners on
the top, but streight corners on the bottom?
So far, I've noticed there are only 3 nodes which I
can use to modify my square. One of which is used to
round the corners- but it does all 4. Is there a way I
can only select 2 of the 4 corners to round?
Hi Patrick,
there is a way how you can achieve this but you have to create two
rectangles (one of them without rounded corners), convert them to a
path (Path - Object to Path) and use boolean operation[1] "Difference"
to cut off rounded corners of one side. By this you'll get rectangle
with only two rounded corners. The disadvantage is that it is no longer
a shape but a path, so you can not easily change the radius of rounded
corners.
best regards
Josef
