It's like the 100% free and open source cousin of Adobe Illustrator.

Inkscape is illustration software for creating or modifying vector images.

Incidentally, if I just include foo.svg as an image into this post, it tries to display as I would expect, except that the inclusion is ultimately not accepted as a proper image type.The Lightburn software is great for interfacing to the laser cutter and has basic drawing tools, but you are generally better of doing your designs in dedicated design software. The more disturbing part is the partial disappearance of the colored lines specified in the path declarations. I can change the fill to scarlet, and the image is the same, so the black does not appear to have anything to do with fill. I think you can see there is no indication of black in the spec.

is 'over quota', and I cannot seem to insert the code directly, so here is a picture of a piece of the spec including everything except most of the paths, followed by its display in Inkscape. I'm new to Inkscape, so any help would be appreciated.Īll right.

It seems to me that even if the curves were rendered a little differently in Inkscape, the strictly parallel nature of their specs should keep them spaced. Shouldn't matter anyway, as there is no overlap. Likewise in Edge (the bottom is cropped in the image, but appears with scrolling)īut if import into Inkscape, I get the following:Īnyone have any idea what is going on here? I've tried adjusting the stroke width, to no avail. (for some reason, code was not completely displayed in my original post - here are some relevant Bezier specs) An indicative section of my SVG spec showing a few of these curve specs is: My image is essentially a collection of parallel S-curves. I've been encouraged to move to a vector-based package like Inkscape to achieve better scalability in my images, but when I display a well-formed SVG spec with a set of Bezier curves in Inkscape I get a very perverse rendering compared to what both GIMP and Microsoft Edge show me.
