Hi,

I've tried quite a few times to accomplish your explanation with this drawing. But no success. This is also a svg drawing. Could you, please, explain to me what I'm doing wrong?

vriendelijke groeten, Marc Meyen

Dear MarcM,

Here is an attempt.I used quite the same method as Polygon explained, with minor differences :I'v drawn all paths around frames (the future clipping paths), then selected bitmap and paths and used shapebuilder tool : with inkscape 1.4, it will creates clipped clones of image (decreasing file size).I used vertical guides then placed bitmap clipped images so that dashed middle line of image matches with guide. I dragged rotation point on guide (using snapping to guides and rotation centers). Eventually I did rotate clipped bitmaps a bit when dashed middle line of bitmap wasn't exaclty vertical, using the 3 pixels of width of this line on bitmap).With node tool (enable show clipping paths option) I place the left nodes of clipping paths (enable snapping to cusps nodes and guides) on guides : this way my clip is perfect on midlle dashed line.Once satisfied, I cloned the clipped image and reversed it and used snapping to rotation centers to place original and its clone exaclty.
