#Inkscape svg not saving with pattern android

There I could convert the icon but now I can only use it android 7.0 and higher because I used the attribute 'fill-rule:evenodd'. Then I looked for some solutions on the web and found the following website: I firts tried to somehow convert the path to an object within Inkscape, but this didn't worked. I'm creating the icons using Inkscape and when I try to convert them into a VectorDrawable using Android Studio, it returns an error about not supporting certain things: line 22 is not line 139 We don't scale the stroke line 144 We don't scale the stroke line 150 We don't scale the stroke line 156 We don't scale the stroke line 162 We don't scale the stroke line 168 We don't scale the stroke line 174 We don't scale the stroke width! I started to learn how the create them because I need some custom icons for an Android app I'm currently working on. Have fun learning both GIMP and Inkscape, both complimentary tools that should be in anyone's arsenal.Hope this helps.I'm quite new to creating vector images. If you have to deal with source images created by someone else, I do think the above 'pre-processing' in GIMP is well worth the effort before converting it to a vector image in Inkscape. Especially in this simple example, it boils down to a circle, a line or rectangle for the handle and some blue paint.īy creating your image in Inkscape from the beginning you simplify your workflow and your outputs will be crisper (and both svgs and pngs slightly smaler in file size). I would recommend that you explore the creation of your assets directly in Inkscape as much as possible. Having said that, you mention that you created this image yourself in GIMP.

Run the Path > Trace Bitmap tool in Inkscape, delete the original raster image and save out as svg.īelow is the same example with the transformations above and you can see the improvement in quality.

In this case paint black various pixels on the rim of the circle, which are white.

Clean up any artifacts by hand & save out as png.

(In this case, with the color picker, pick the blue before running the Threshold tool then use the paint bucket to repaint the blue)

In GIMP, convert the image to true black and white (only two colors) by using the Colors > Threshold tool.

I've had to convert simple black and white raster logos to vector before an this is the workflow I've followed: Less is more with that tool as if you repeatedly use simplify it will distort the shapes in other undesirable ways. The one below is after using the Path > Simplify (Ctrl+l) tool to 'smooth' it out. The image above is without any modification after using the Trace Bitmap tool (I have moved the original png to the right, which you should eventually delete before saving as your final svg).

Doing this with the image you provided yields not the best results as seen below. png, etc.), and just by importing into Inkscape and saving out as svg, it does not mean that the image/shape was converted to a vector graphic (with it's sizing/scaling advantages).Īs mentioned, to convert from raster to vector in Inkscape you need to use the Path > Trace Bitmap tool. I am using inkscape 0.91.Īn svg file can have an embedded raster image (i.e. I downloaded an svg illustration online that was created with illustrator just to make a the same test in firefox. I tried converting JPG instead of PNG still the same problem. I tried to save with the 3 differents svg format ('Inkscape svg', 'plain svg' and 'optimized svg'). I tried several different options like 'Image rendering mode' to 'smooth' or 'none', the image DPI I tried 'from file' and 'default impression resolution'. No matter how hard I try, I cannot have a decent svg with inkscape (as soon as I scale).

But never figured out why I cannot make a decent svg with inkscape. I am a backend programmer who plays around with gimp and inkscape. When I resize them to a smaller image, the png looks much better than the svg. When viewing both image in firefox at normal scale, they both look the same. I opened the image with inkscape and saved it as svg. I created a simple image using gimp and exported it as png.
