(Some options tend to produce a lot more nodes than others. You may be able to adjust the Trace Bitmap (or RO IT trace) to result in as few nodes as possible, but we would need to see the image, to give specific suggestions. But if you do it a second time, it will distort the path much more. You can usually use Path menu > Simplify once, without much distortion. It would make a long, wordy explanation, but you can give it a try. This is one that does: However, note that the centerline trace can't accurately reproduce things like text. But there are other trace engines which do have a centerline trace option. Inkscape's Trace Bitmap cannot guess where the center of that line is, to create an identical single open path. The Trace Bitmap software can't make that determination. It draws a path around what it sees, even if what it's looking at, to humans, looks like a line. Now it's a closed path with probably 4 or 5 nodes. Even though the stroke is wide, it's still one single path segment, because there are 2 nodes, 1 at either end. Switch to the Node tool, and make the stroke fairly wide, like 20 or 30 px wide (to make it easier to see the result).
Draw a simple straight line segment using Inkscape's Pen or Pencil tool. It will be a closed path.ĭo this experiment. When an image of a solid black line is traced, the result will not be a single path open path, as the line appears to be.
So it doesn'st sound like you need to use Object to Path at all, for this project. And after you trace the image with Trace Bitmap, you have true paths. You can remember its short cut which is Shift + Alt + B or click on this option. Here we have the Trace Bitmap option in the drop-down list. There's no need to do Object to Path on a raster image. Now let us trace this image and for tracing it select this image then go to the Path menu of the menu bar which is at the top of the user screen of Inkscape and click on it.
