I give shoutouts to software. Big whoop. Once more, lets talk

I basically got some new shapes by installing the inkscape-open-symbols into my user share folder, which would have been cool to have inside the actual application. But the symbol sets need to be properly formatted, so there you go.

I need to draw up some easy to understand illustrations, and I think: symmetry is akin to accessibility. Shout out to my OCD fam. I used simple snapping to expedite concept stages and it's ez.

A document in the vector graphics software Inkscape that is in 4K landscape mode. The window is dark, has a sidebar to the left, toolbar up top, color palett at the bottom and a sidebar for tooling on the right. The document itself is a white background with an illustration of planet earth in the centre. On the left are 5 illustrations of servers, 2 of which have a devil emoji and 3 of which have smiling emojis. To the right are 5 illustrations of the same thing, which isa smiling emoji, a All-in-one PC or iMac and a smartphone, orderered from left to right. The author attempts as he may to straighten up the grid and work in symmetric terms, and the simple snapping tool helps with this. On the upper right is an open pop-up menu that allows you to turn on and off snapping, to enable or disable snapping to bounding boxes, nodes and according to the alignment tool, as well as a blue text link to enable Advanced snapping, which is a subject for another time.

Some "shapes", or SVG's with icons formatted so that you can use them within Inkscape in an easy and effective manner.

PanderMusubi/inkscape-open-symbols contains so many icon packs, from bootstrap, GNOME, font-awesome, etc. Licensing does apply.
github.com/PanderMusubi/inksca

But we also got some shapes for techies!
github.com/upb-lea/Inkscape_el
github.com/fsmMLK/inkscapeCirc
github.com/fsmMLK/inkscapeLogi

This shows you can easily generate shape sets for Inkscape. Neat!

I see the burdgenoning GTK4ification of . It's new way forward. They've also come a long way since being a fork of sodipodi. I've used it on and off for years - but never in any serious way. I would defer to Affinty, or even further back, to Adobe.

But I see the work put in, I see the changes, the direction towards a more modern Inkscape, that can do what all the other big boys can do. If we could get multi-page documents with variable sized pages it could cover desktop publishing too.

Maybe I need to qualify that all these screenshots are in lol But still, I've written the alt texts of the screenshots in English if you want some translation.

My job now is cajiggering in to my workflow and to create ways to easily deliver graphics, assets and illustrations.

It's going to take a bit more exploring before I get to a point where I can consider myself afluent in the ways of Inkscape.

How am I doing so far, @inkscape @doctormo ?

also, still learning how to make threads... apparently I'm all over the place, but it's more or less a "blogging" of my learning process and I share my experiences as I go along.

Feel free to correct me if I've made any logical errors, language errors, etc. I'm only human, tryng to hume the best I can.

For future reference, I might try to make one long thread instead of branching ones. But I feel like some asides deserve their own branch.

Again: I'm learning as I go.

Filters, has it! Not that I have any clue what I'm doing at this point. This is where we deal not only with vector, but the composition of pixels that it outputs.

We have some basic tooling and a way to work with them. To me, the routing system in the "Filter Editor" is still a bit confusing. But knowing I can not only alter vector, but also the raster it pumps out through standard effects adds another layer of convenience. Neat.

Does it follow SVG standards though?

An open Inkscape document where the previous illustration of a globe surrounded by both good and bad servers, as well as the users with their displays and phones, as illustrated by emoji faces. Our focus on the right, where the Inkscape "Filter Editor" is open. We see that a filter has been applied, where by the output of the line colours and the outputted graphic thereof are merged in a composite filter set to "Lighter", which feeds into a "Turbulence" and "Meld" effect, causing a weird distorted - almost deep fried - illustration in the actual document. I will admit, I still don't know exactly what it is doing. But hey, you can filter pixels that vector outputs. Technically it's an SVG filter, which is probably something that requires learning to understand the machenations of the "Filter Editor".

But how about a REMIX!!!! 📯

It's how I work sometimes. Being able to take something mundane, like a standard symbol, and just twisting it to my purpose and theme can help me to effectivise the process of visual messaging.

This is why I have to learn about Path Effects in . While copying source material is always an option, you end up with a lot of clutter. Being able to just modify paths using math and logic adds a whole new level of effeciency that people need to know about.

An open Inkscape document, where there are two symbols. One is a warped pound sign with round edges, which is achieved by using the BSpline path effect and the oe in focus is a keyboard button like shape, that has a line diagonally from the lower left up towards the uppper right, which is also a path effect called Slice that creates a line that the shape fills, negating the need to create new path nodes and adjust them accordingly This illustrates how using Path Effects in #Inkscape can save loads of time and be a boon to anyone who does any in-depth illustration and design.

Just a couple of more screens to show how awesome Path Effects are. What's that old adage? "Work smart, not hard"? This.

This feature is probably the best example of how has come a very long way. I absolutely love the drop down, the categorization, it's just good UX. Job - well - done.

You can only add one effect, but.. you can flatten. So the possibilities are endless. You could concievably create immaculate art by just flattening into forever.

The Inkscape Path Effects list. They are categorized as editing/tools, warping, generating, converting. For instance, the "Tiling" tool under "Generate" allows you to easily generete tiles out of one path. The "bounding box under "Convert" allows you to create a bounding box around a path. Under "Wrap" you have for instance "Lattice Deformation", which will deform a path based upon a lattice grid.
An Inkscape document, where a path has the "Generator" effect "Tiling" applied. It then copies said shape in a grid of 3x3. On the right side of the screen you can see the many options the effect has, showing that it can be used for advanced tiling and symmetric alignment.
