Star Pattern<\/p><\/div>\n

Disclaimer: this is yesterday’s (Thursday’s) post, and tonight’s (Friday’s) may be a few minutes into tomorrow (Saturday), so please forgive me. So one of my favorite Inkscape converts, Beth Nolastname, posted on my wall yesterday, suggesting a really cool background generation site for use with Inkscape. She said:<\/p>\n

John, this looks like a neat link to use with Inkscape.\n\nTiled backgrounds designer\n\n\nWeb based tiled backgrounds designer, create any pattern your site\nneeds just for few minutes. Adjustable size, pictures, colors, texture\nand transparency<\/pre>\n
I didn;t use it to make my pattern though I did try it and like it. Aside from thinking that it’s a cool site, my only reaction is that Inkscape already has some amazing tools for developing these kinds of background patterns, with a lot more flexibility, such as the one I made for today’s sketch. I made mine with the tiled clones tool (edit\/clone\/create tiled clones) , which starts with a single (not two) selected object\/shape\/path\/group\/etc. of any type, and allows you to create repeated patterns with amazingly rich flexibility. You can affect transparency per clone, rotation per clone, distance apart, angle of repeat, and even color variation per clone. I kept mine pretty simple, adding variation of horizontal and vertical movement by a few pixels, blur variation with a degree of randomness, and so on. In short, while it may have a larger learning curve than Beth’s suggested site, it also is far more powerful and flexible. Thanks for the inspiration, Beth!<\/p>\n
