4 DONE How to insert images inside a circle video
If you want to create a circular image with border then I use this method.
- Create a circle object with border and clone it
- Insert image
- Place circle object over the image
- Click image and then the circle object
- Go to Object | Clip | Set
- Your image will be clipped
- Now use this clipped image and align it in the centre with the cloned circle object
- Finally export as PNG and enjoy
5 DONE Templates video
You can save a document as a template with your preferred size and guide. When you save a template it will be saved in the ~/.config/inkscape/templates dierctory, which I commit to my dotfiles.
6 DONE Distraction free mode video
I sometimes prefer to work in distraction free mode and it is useful when presenting.
F11: Go full screen with toolbars Ctrl - F11: Got full screen and also hide the toolbars F12: Hide docked panels
7 DONE Switch Modes
Instead of using the panel to change the mode you can press keys as well.
- s: Selection
- t: Text
- c: Calligraphy
When in the Text mode you can press Esc and then s to change to the Selection mode.
