Inkscape vector image with gradient4/29/2024 However, experience tells me that most people don't want to do that research, and want to see how it's done. That's plenty of information, including the proper terminology, to lead you to whatever you need, to learn how to do that. And finally clip them all with the outermost shape (the plus sign or shoreline). Although in some cases, interpolation including interolate style could be absolutely ideal! Then you just blur each shape until it gives the appearance you want. Path offsets might be the best way to do that. For either one of the effects you described, you would just draw shapes that are progressively smaller. And I think some people might even say this is the best way to do it, even if there were a gradient mesh tool already available. However, you can create an effect like that now. I don't remember exactly where, but a search for "gradient mesh" should turn it up pretty quick.) In a recent message on the forum, someone mentioned where to find it. (I think you can get a rudimentary gradient mesh in the development version of Inkscape. But I don't think there's any estimate about when, or which version it will first be released in. And such a tool is currently under active development. This also explains why there are such modifications as “Inkscape SVG”, “Photoshop EPS”, or “Illustrator EPS”, “Xara EPS”, “FreeHand EPS”, etc.The kind of feature that can do that is called a gradient mesh. While they can be successfully produced in vector formats like PDF, editability can be transferred normally only partially. This file also shows why native implementations are required: they allow advanced features, more effectively and intuitively operating control over complex features, etc. So this specific design could be transferred to fully editable vector design, retaining most if not all properties of the original design, by combining different elements rendered in different apps (or converting individual elements to native elements and reapplying equivalent formatting parameters), but it seems that there is no other app that could perfectly open the Inkscape created SVG (neither in “Inkscape SVG”, “Plain SVG” or PDF format). Direct copy paste from Inkscape to Affinity Designer via Clipboard works also well but has inaccuracies in some details. As for this specific image, Xara Designer seems to import original features otherwise most accurately but has odd polygonal artifacts in imported circles with gradient transparency in strokes. Partially the problems are related to another app (like CorelDRAW) not supporting natively a specific feature (like gradients or “fountain fills” as they are called in CorelDRAW, in object outlines ), and partially to complexity related to transferring a feature that has been converted to PDF back to native objects trying to retain all aspects and attributes of the original objects. So instead of using the native or simplified SVG format, it is sometimes better to export and import using the PDF format (or sometimes possibly even EPS): While Inkscape does a good job in exporting these features to a PDF file (attached below), the original SVG file contains Inkscape specialties that do not transfer perfectly to other vector graphics apps like Affinity Designer, CorelDRAW or Illustrator (very old CS6 tested only, though), even when exporting from Inkscape using plain SVG format. This SVG file is a good demonstration of problems related to transferability of advanced vector graphics features like fills and outlines containing transparent gradients.
