In a tutorial from last year we went over how to design print-ready book covers in Inkscape: To put things into context, here are a few examples from tutorials we’ve gone over in the past where converting text objects to paths was a necessity. It also allows you to add Path Effects - an assortment of advanced transformations that can be made to vector paths that otherwise could not be applied to text objects. Let’s address this.Ĭonverting your text to a path allows you to edit the structural properties of each individual letter as if it were a custom shape: Converting text to a path allows you to edit the nodes of each letter. You may be curious as to why it is you would even convert text to a path in Inkscape in this the first place. Nodes can be transformed individually, allowing you to shape the object (or path) however you’d like. In short, paths are objects that consist of a series of coordinate points on the X and Y axis known as nodes. Objects with filters and/or path effects applied.The following are examples of objects that are not paths:
A tracing generated with the Trace Bitmap tool.A line or shape you have drawn with one of the pen tools.A shape that you have generated with one of the shape tools.In other words, a path is simply a vector object in its purest form.
