The Secret To Creating Perfect Outlines In Inkscape
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 лис 2023
- In this tutorial I'll be going over how to apply an outline to text in Inkscape using strokes. The problem with using strokes is that by default, the stroke is applied to the inside of the text, which distorts its appearance. Changing a single setting in the Fill & Stroke menu though can correct that.

People like you make the world go around. Bless
I did get confused about the difference between 'outline' and 'stroke'. Excellent tute, Nick.
This is a gold nugget. You have NO idea how much time this will save me, and thanks for making it simple so even I can understand!
Man, have I overlooked that ‘order’ option. Great video! Clear and concise.
So inspiring. Thanks, Nick!
Damn, I've been using outlines for years, and never knew that scaling option. Always did it manually... I feel so silly. Thx for the tutorial.
Wait what?? I literally went to look for this kind of tutorial in your channel yesterday because I have a task to do that require outlines. Now you posted it??!! Wow, what a coincidence lol. Thank you for this, Nick!
No such a thing as a coincidence 😅
May Allah (S.W.T.) guide you and bestow upon you His Blessings; Ameen.
That order option is quite important for my uses with markers.
Excellent lesson Nick! Thank you.
Great video...
Caught me off guard with the change of voice tone on 4:05 lol
I love and apréciate your videos dude plz keep up the good work 🙏
Yet another great tutorial. Thanks for all the useful content!
Very useful. Thanks Nick!

Another great tip!
I learned so much, thanks sir
Excellent !!!!
Very handy cheers.
THANK YOUU NICK!!!
Good one! Thank you Nick.
Thank you.
Great alternative to offset, nice trick
Cool. Thanks.
❤ simple and effective
Great work.
I’ll appreciate if you make a video of how to make custom text logo.
very informative video, 👍
Brilliant! Tried right now. Perfect. BTW just curious to know what font that is...
It's called Heather Oliver
Hi Nick, I know that coreldraw has some features that we can generate agenda files there and I’m wondering if it is possible to do it using Inkscape as well. Do you know anything about that? Thanks
Hello, what font are you using?? I like it.
Wow i would be interested in how your icons in Fill and Stroke are so large, mine are tiny and i cannot make out shapes of them. Yours are huge compared to what i see.
What is the name of the font you're using please?
Hello Nick. I have a small problem with the text. The next line does not work for me and I cannot move to the next line when I press the enter button. I tried many methods and they did not work. Can you help me?
Hi Mr.Nick hope you can see this. I'm having a problem in Inkscape why is it crashing? I am using 1.3 version.
The shift+click to outline doesn't work for me 🤔 doing it from the Stroke menu doesn't work either
is there a way to have the white be transparent while maintaining the outline look?
Yes but you would have to convert the stroke to a path, ungroup it, then use the white text to do a "Path > Difference" from the outline.
How did you get your workspace layout like this?
"Document Properties" Control + Shift + D and change the page color
Hi,¿what's the name of the font you used in this video?,thanks.
"Heather Oliver"
I wonder if you can add two strokes to an object in inkscape :). I have a dotted line, which is a bezier line with no fill and that dotted stroke and I want to add another stroke to it. Right now I transform the stroke to a path, then add a stroke to it, but that's a workaround.
What would be your objective?
Point is, you want to add a stroke to something that's already a stroke. The vector object is a line, so that is not going to have a stroke because a line is mathematically just that: an object with length and curve, but no width. As Inkscape allows you to add width by altering the stroke size, that is what you can get out if it. I'd advise to create a path from the line and work on from there.
Short description of the goal: draw a bezier curve with a double stroke, without using Stroke to path :).
I'm drawing a bezier curve on top of an image (a map) and I turn fill off and stroke to dashes, let's say yellow. I like that I can modify the curve later on using the nodes of the bezier path. But I also want to add another stroke so the current dashed line will be more visible - this "second stroke" would be 1-2px black for example. What I am doing right now is making the dashed curve/line, turn it into a path using Stroke to Path, then add stroke to it again. It works fine but at the end I can no longer reposition the curve/line using the initial nodes of the bezier curve. As a workaround, before using Stroke to Path, I duplicate the bezier curve and keep one as a backup in case I need to move the nodes later on.
I looked at Path Effects and Extensions for a way to simulate a second stroke on a Bezier curve and couldn't find anything, but I have not looked extensively :).
In Inkscape it's not possible unless you make a duplicate copy and make the stroke larger so that it appears to be a second stroke, or another way would be converting the stroke to a path as you mentioned.
I don't think the first method works in my scenario. I would have preferred that. I have a dashed line created with the bezier pen, no fill, dashed stroke. To it, I wish to add another stroke, so basically outlines around each dash. And keep the nodes from the original bezier line :)
@@MihaiNeacsu All right, now you have two similar answers: it is not possible :)
Struggling to fill the holes in letters like A O e those small holes dont want to fill in. Not only that it gives some random white/transparent artifacts around things like "."
but how with logo with multiple shape?
❤❤❤
This did not work for me when I selected the word then shift and color nothing happened. I’m not the most computer friendly but that was pretty easy instructions and it didn’t work 😢
Inkscape would earn more users if they made these settings default.
Say, WHAAAAAAAAT! 😲
