Further information on the SVG format may be found on the official SVG website.Īdobe's PDF format (Portable Document Format) is very widely used as a general purpose platform-independent document format. Inkscape and recent versions of Adobe Illustrator and CorelDRAW have good support for reading and writing SVG. The World Wide Web Consortium ( W3C) is the main international standards organization for the World Wide Web, the W3C standard vector image format is called SVG ( Scalable Vector Graphics). Adobe Illustrator and recent versions of CorelDRAW have very good support for reading and writing EPS. It is widely supported as an export format, but due to the complexity of the full format specification, not all programs that claim to support EPS are able to import all variants of it. It is the standard interchange format in the print industry. At least it shows you the shapes without having to switch the display mode.Adobe's EPS format (Encapsulated PostScript) is perhaps the most common vector image format. It also helps adding a stroke to your design when you have difference/ union issues. By ticking the option and turning on the ‘show path outline’ in the top row of icons, Inkscape will add red ‘half arrow’ pointing the direction the nodes are oriented. Inkscape’s Preferences (Ctrl+Shift+P) you can check “Show path direction on outlines” in the Tools -> Node section. Sadly Inkscape does show the orientation of the nodes only when you know where to find it. The sequence (clockwise or counter-clockwise) of these nodes is the orientation. These nodes define the position in relation to it’s neighbors and the angle the two are connected by. What’s vector orientation anyway? Vector shapes are a sequence of nodes – those little circles and squares when you switch to the node tool. The same problem shows in Affinity Designer, Adobe Illustrator or CorelDraw (just to mention the tools I am frequently using). This is not a unique problem to Inkscape. Most likely the issue is a different orientation of those two objects. Even though the vector shapes show both elements as one object but in the same fill colour. A lot of the time this is due to vector orientation. You want to cut a shape out of your design and it’s just not showing as cut out. All of a sudden the substract won’t work. Vector Orientation – understanding a frequent problem Inkscape TutorialĪ very common question on social media groups for vector art are problems with difference and union.
