Re: Need help with inkscape
I think it looks like you're on the right track, what you should try is, using the :tool_node: , you should make all the nodes "smooth" (upper left, hover over the icons of the tool, to get tool-help). Then, Strg+A to mark everything, and Strg+Shift+) to expand the blobs. Should look great.

Re: Development builds: Easy to install and sexy new features.
... addendum: If the Folder is in a path that has spaces in it, the icons are not found (most). German Windows has the Desktop under .../Dokumente und Einstellungen/... (F%&kup if there ever was one). So better not start it from the Desktop.

Re: Need help with inkscape
try again with :tool_pencil: Fill : Black, Stroke : None; After painting, press Strg (Ctrl) + L , A LOT (10-20x). Use the :tool_node: -> the nodes can be taken to where you need them, + there are handles that rule where the curve is going. Try a little. The jpg is not good for automatic tracing. But...

Re: Need help with inkscape
I guess you want this special paw-print rendered in the minimalistic style of the Jack Wolfskin logo? Don't go for :tool_ellipse: . This will look too standardized. Try this: :tool_pencil: draw around the print, and return to the square that marks the beginning of the Path, this will close it. Work ...

Re: snap to spirograph path?
Slightly Off-Topic: 1000 nodes seems to be the maximum the Spiro-Tool does, which elicits some rather strange behaviour: Some Spirograms are non-repetitive, or only start to repeat themselves after lots and lots of "turns". -> They always are created with 1000 nodes. If the Quality is set ...

Re: help understanding path operations
Hm. With me it works as advertised.
First, select the spirogram. Fill -> Fill holes.
Then select the circle, press Shift, select the spirogram, and Use Union (Or Difference).

the P6 symmetry would work too, just make something square and invisible, and locate an upright stroke on it -> if the stroke is on the rightmost, the resulting figure will be a hexagon -> if the stroke is not as high as the (invisible) square, the hexagons will look "dashed" just like on ...
