The "Preset hatch for fills" extension solves a very specific problem that comes up when you are trying to create filled (colored-in) areas with the Eggbot. | The "Preset hatch for fills" extension solves a very specific problem that comes up when you are trying to create filled (colored-in) areas with the Eggbot. | ||
| − | + | One of the several methods for [[Creating filled regions]] involves the use of an Inkscape "live path effect" with the ungainly name of "Hatches (rough)." The process for using this to create filled regions is documented in [[Drawing a smiley face, part 3|Part 3]] of the [[Drawing a smiley face]] tutorial. As part of that process, you need to manually set a surprisingly large number of parameters by hand. | |
| − | |||
To save you the trouble of entering those parameters by hand, we created this "Preset hatch for fills" extension, which automatically makes those changes for you. The extension applies a number of Eggbot-friendly settings to all path effects in the document that have type "Hatches (rough)." As the process is extensively documented in [[Drawing a smiley face, part 3|Part 3]] of the [[Drawing a smiley face]] tutorial, please refer to that tutorial for step-by-step instructions on using this extension. | To save you the trouble of entering those parameters by hand, we created this "Preset hatch for fills" extension, which automatically makes those changes for you.
