![]() ![]() This is useful when you want to move something out of the way, but want to move it back to the exact same position as before. If you press Ctrl+Shift+F the Fill and Stroke Dialog should appear on the right - you can use the Fill tab to set the fill colour.įirst we copy the rectangle, then paste it in place (Ctrl+Alt+V or the option under the Edit drop-down menu, as I said before) - I've moved the lower rectangle down and to the left to show the three overlapping shapes (side note: selecting an object, shape, or path and then clicking the arrow keys will move that object exactly 2 pixels in that direction, and pressing shift and an arrow key will move it exactly 20 pixels in that direction. If that still doesn't help, PM me and I'll respond with a more coherent and complete explanation in the morning.Įdit: Oh, or you could check out some of the Inkscape tutorials linked to in the Illustration Tutorials and Advice Superthread, which is stickied in this board.Īh, in Inkscape you can select paths and shapes and set their fill colour. They're under the Help menu, and should cover all the tools you'll need to make a map in Inkscape. If that doesn't help, try going through Inkscape's in-built tutorials.

There are a number of ways to do this, but one way is to draw a shape over the outline you've already done so the overlap between the new shape and the outline covers the entire area that you want filled in a certain colour, then copy and then paste in place (Ctrl+Alt+V or "Paste in place" in the Edit drop-down menu) the outline, select the outline copy and the shape and use the Intersection Boolean Function (Ctrl+* or "Intersection" from the Path drop-down menu) to create a shape consisting of just the overlap. This won't work if you're trying to fill in the space between two unrelated paths, though, so you may have to create new paths for each coloured area. ![]()
