Inkscape make white transparent8/30/2023 ![]() ![]() * Placed the red A above the Rectangle in their stack order * In terms of the rectangle: A) Set the rectangle to have no paint B) Gave the rectangle paint, but then setting the paint opaque and Alpha both to 0 I also tried to used both black and white for the alpha0 setting, and also turned document background back on again as combinations for testing. * Setting the document background to transparent checkerboard, and its background color wheel alpha to 0. I'd expect to see just the A without any background as I see it in Inkscape, after its exported. The A is displaying OK, but so to is the rectangle as a painted object!. That's not happening after I export the selected A and rectangle. The problem is that I need to see the A, while the square that it sits on, should be transparent. (the rectangle is needed to set the dimensions of the exported A icon so that the icon is 10 px square in the game) I'm using inkscape to create some simple icons for a game.įor this issue, imagine a red letter A on a 10 px sq rectangle. Then use that slightly blurred one for the trace.I understand how to make a documents entire background transparent, but not sure how to make just 1 object transparent ** that stays transparent** when I export it. ![]() Or if GIMP has a blur tool, you could use that, and not need to scale it. If pixel art is all you have, then you could just slightly scale the image up, and that would pixelate it, which would have the effect of blurring the pixels. Or if you don't want the pixel art appearance, you could start out not using pixel art for the trace. And then you can remove the background from the result. And also use the original with the white background. If you want the pixel art appearance to not be there, use either auto or smooth option for import. But I guess being such small images.requiring so much zoom to really see them, where the difference really seems exaggerated.Īnyway, as I said, if you want to preserve the appearance of pixel art, import with the blocky setting. I wouldn't have thought it would make that much difference. ![]() Interesting! I guess it must be the anti-aliasing which accounts for such a difference between the transparent and white background versions. But the way you showed the one with the white background, I can't get to it. I got the one with the transparent background from your first message. So that's why I wanted to test both versions. Or if you don't want to ungroup, you could use Ctrl + click to select the white rectangle, and then delete.īut personally, I'm curious why the white background should make any difference, if the image is otherwise identical. I'm guessing that Moini is right, that you just need to Ungroup the results, and remove the white background. Is there any chance you accidentally used the wrong image or something?Ĭan you provide both versions for us to test? I don't understand why there should be any difference in the results, if the only difference in the originals is the white background. If so, are they absolutely identical, except for the background? Because when I use your original with transparent background, I get a very different result from you. Where does the white background come from? Do you just have 2 different raster versions of the image? The 2nd one starts with the image on a white background. The first one starts with the image with a transparent background. Ok, so comparing the first rectangle on the top to the 2nd rectangle in the middle. If that's not what you meant, please try again to explain it Don't move the objects, but move the nodes. By nodes, using the Node tool, make objects underlap each other. Third, the best way to get rid of it is to manually edit each and every piece. Second, the easiest way to get rid of it will be to add a stroke to each object, which is the same color as each object (black stroke for black pieces, gray stroke for gray pieces, etc.). I can't see the gap at their original size. I mean they look like approx 16 x 16 px icons. Try putting it at 100% zoom and find out. So you probably don't need to do anything. Is that it?įirst, at the size of the original objects, that gap will probably not show up. If you put a red object behind it, it would look like a thin red line. There's a very thin gap between each object, so that if you put a white background behind it, looks like a thin white line between objects. I'm going to go out on a limb and try to guess what you're talking about (although my track record for mind-reading is not very good). How can it have a transparent background and a white background? ![]()
