![]() The page size determines the size of the page area of the canvas. Inkscape provides a number of standard sizes. When creating a new document, you should review them to determine if one of them fits your needs and, if one does, you should click it to select it. OrientationĪ rectangular page has a long and short edge. In Inkscape, the image orientation can be either portrait or landscape. If you choose portrait, the shortest edge of the page is the top. If you choose landscape, the longest edge of the page is the top. If none of the standard sizes fit your needs, you can create a custom page size. Use the Units field to select a unit of measure, the Width field to select a width, and the Height field to select a height. If you create your image within the page and you want to create a margin around it, click the plus sign in front of Resize Page to Content and then type the size you want your margin to be in the Top Margin, Left, Right, and Bottom fields. Then click the Resize Page to Drawing or Selection button. ![]() It is unlikely that you will ever need to change the options in the Scale section. Background Checkerboard BackgroundĬhecking the Checkerboard Background box displays the canvas as a checkerboard. The default background is white, if you are creating images with white in them, it may be difficult to distinguish the image from the background. In such instances, it is a good idea to use a checkerboard background. Areas that display as a checkerboard are transparent. Use the Background Color field to set the color of the canvas and the images background color and transparency. The default creates a white canvas and images with a transparent background, which is fine for most purposes. Display Use AntialiasingĪntialiasing smooths jagged edges. This box is checked by default, and for most purposes, it is best to leave it that way. Inkscape checks the Show Page Border field by default. With no border, it is difficult to distinguish your page from the remainder of the canvas. Inkscape also, by default, adds a border shadow to your page. ![]() You may want to remove the border and/or the border shadow. If you want your border to appear on top of whatever you draw, check the Border on Top of Drawing box. Otherwise, it appears behind your drawing. The Border Color field sets the color of your border. Grids are often useful when creating tangles as well as other images. They can help you align and place objects. With Inkscape, you can create and display grids. Use the Grids tab in the Document Properties dialog box to define your grid. There are two types of grids: Rectangular and Axonometric. For now, we are going to focus on rectangular grids. Therefore, the default - Rectangular Grid- shown on the Grids tab is fine. NewĬlick the New button to create a new grid. Rectangular GridĬheck the Enabled box if you want to snap to the grid. You can snap to grids that are not visible. Check the Visible box if you want the grid to be visible. If you zoom out far enough not all the grid lines display, check the Snap to Visible Grid Line Only box if you only want to snap to visible lines. The Grid Units field specifies the unit of measure used by your grid. The Origin X and Origin Y fields determine where the grid begins in relationship to the page. Entering zeros in these fields aligns the grid with the page more or less, which is suitable for most purposes. So it must be a 0.Positive numbers in the Origin X field shifts the vertical grid lines to the right negative numbers shifts them to the left. On Win10/Inkscape0.91 the rotation center was immediately correctly reset to the center by the Shift+Click. This time it's not just on my Win7 /IS 0.92 system, but I also observe it under Win10 / IS 0.92. But that's not how it's intended to work? Then I see that the rotation center is moved back to the center. I get back the handles only if I move the object or double click the object ending up editing the rectangle. I would expect handles appear again but they do not! Just the dashed bounding box without handles. Handles will disappear and rotation center does NOT "jump" back to the center of the object.ħ) deselect object by clicking somewhere outside of the objectĨ) select object again. Rotation center and Rotation/Skew handles appearĤ) deselect object by clicking somewhere outside of the objectĦ) Shift+Click on Rotation center. Scaling handles appearĢ) click 2nd time on object. However, with this Shift+Click on rotation center I do observe a strange behaviour (only with Inkscape0.92):įor example if you just draw a rectangle.ġ) click on object. ![]()
