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!

SVG requires for a stroke to do that.
However, one way to address this would be to clip or mask with a copy with the same dimensions, just no stroke.
Clipping or masking would force me to always use double the stroke width for the borders, and masking all shapes in my drawing would be a pain.
But at least is a solution. Thanks Jon.
