Hi Inkscape learners and professionals,
I am learning Inkscape. I am trying to merge multiple colors or ornaments of different shapes, sizes, and colors into an object/picture. I want to see my final image with no colors or any objects beyond the boundaries of my image. Is there any specific tool I can use in Inkscape or tutorials on this to watch? Please see an example here.
Let’s say, I have this vector file:
And I want the final image to look like this:
Any advice and suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
As mentioned above by #Juancho, you must learn Masking and clipping which is mostly used in all graphic design softwares.
Your problem can be resolved by simple clipping (Inkscape -> Object -> Clip ->set). Check it out:

I am trying to isolate shadows from this image and remove them:
The reason why I am doing that is because shadow is problematic for my edge detection algorithm.
What should I do to remove the shadow? I haven't done this before, so I do not even know where to start from.
From the similar questions on SO I wasn't able to find anything to help me with my task.
I have the image in both: png and jpg format, so I am not even sure which format to use to start with.
That's a very interesting question. One option you can try is to divide the RGB values in the image by the grayscale intensity of the image. There is apparently another method explained here: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/col.21889.
I'm having trouble creating an SVG (for web use) from an illustrator file sent by the design agency. The SVG exported doesn't look like the same, specially because the affected areas are suppose to look like shadowed areas of human characters. The art created is quite complex and I'm not authorised to show it, but I'm just putting here one of the elements that replicates the issue.
original .ai file + exported .svg in this zip: http://we.tl/AdJPqFqQd1
I've also saved it in .eps and tried exporting, but it didn't make a difference
I'm looking for a solution that wouldn't be too hurtful considering that there are many elements in the original artwork like this shape and most of them have different colours and shapes.
I tried to access the CSS within the SVG but I couldn't manage to change the gradient.
Using Illustrator CC 2015 I've tried exporting with all the different options (unless I missed some special combination, which I do not believe)
Hopefully and with a lot of luck, I would like to find someone who came across this problem before and knows how to deal with it. If you could try it yourself, you would be aware of this issue and I would appreciate it very much. Thanks
I'm kicking around an idea for a side project and am looking for advice on which direction to go in terms of technology. I've done some research already, but am still fairly confused as to what the realistic options are.
I'd like to make an interactive map based on a fictional world (think Middle Earth), including a timeline filter and a details section for additional information on an event or location.
Desired Features:
map on the left
details pane on the right
timeline slider/filter at bottom
Territories
color for political affiliation
displays details in details pane
labels
labels for cities
Hurdles:
Get a clean map image to work with
Map image into intermediate format (svg, geojson, topojson?)
Display map on webpage, style map, add animations, etc
Technologies
SVG
I'm pretty sure I could code all of this in SVG using events and boundaries. I've already been able to create SVG Paths from the image using GIMP, so converting the map into an SVG file seems plausible.
The issue with doing it this way is I would end up doing all the work the hard way when there seems to be lots of frameworks for this kind of thing already.
Kartograph
La Bella Italia is a very nice example and would serve as a good starting point. I love the trade route animations and the border styling with the glow filters.
The bonus here is that I know I can make an svg map, which is all this would need to get up and running.
My issue here is it doesn't seem like Kartograph is as rich of a platform as D3.js. I'm not sure if I can double dip and link some D3 stuff with the kartograph events. If I could, that might be the solution.
D3.js
The sliders, animations(hover and selection), and topojson seem like they would be perfect. But the main issue I have here is getting my image converted into a GeoJson format. From what I can tell these formats are strictly for Real World maps, using longitude/latitude.
So there you have it! I'm hoping there is some good news on how I might convert my map image into topojson so I can enjoy the benefits of D3.js. If not, I suppose I could just try kartograph and wire the events up with D3 controls.
Thoughts?
I'm currently writing my master thesis and I have the same topic like you had these days. I called my project Arda Maps. Feel free to ask me anything if have techonology questions.
I'm using the following frameworks/tools in my project:
QGIS
JQuery
D3.js
GeoJSON/TopoJSON
TimeGlider
I am working on an application where I need to display color coded indicators. The standard colors will be red/amber/green, but I need to be able to pick any color (e.g. by hex value). The colors are updated dynamically by a script, based on data (dashboard style).
Are there libraries that could help me? I am thinking in particular about using svg or canvas graphics that the script could modify.
Note: the question has been rephrased to better explain the context.
I like this collection on WikiCommons. They are in SVG

Here are a couple of links to start with:

I am attempting to apply an SVG filter (Gaussian blur) to only a portion of an image (i.e. the background). I have achieved the effect by appending a clipped SVG image with Gaussian blur applied at the same position (to make it appear like the Gaussian blur is applied to the original image).
This is obviously inefficient and I'm looking for a better method. After reading some SVG docs and examples it looks like the enable-background attribute is needed but I would greatly appreciate some help on how to actually implement it!
Edit:
An example of the effect I'm looking for: http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/92/chromeblur.png
Here is a good description of how it should work in SVG
http://srufaculty.sru.edu/david.dailey/svg/SVGOpen2010/Filters2.htm
But SVG support is still incomplete in all common browsers. Especially the filter effects on backgrounds using the in="BackgroundImage" and enable-background attributes are not supported by any common browser.
