Live Path Effects

So far, we have seen some ways to automate certain design tasks with things such as clones, but we’ve really only just scratched the surface of what Inkscape can do. This chapter is about the power tools of Inkscape – the path effects, also known as Live Path Effects (LPEs), which offer non-destructive effects that can be applied to paths to generate all sorts of effects that would take a long time to do by hand.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

What is a Path Effect, and why is it live?
The Path Effects dialog
Using Path Effects with single-path objects
Using Path Effects with groups
Limitations of Path Effects
