![]() ![]() In the bottom portion of the Create Tiled Clones window, in the Rows side (left-side) of Rows, columns, enter the number of clones you want to generate. If the path ran vertically, we would enter a number in the Per Column number field. Since the new path runs horizontally, we’ll enter a number in the Angle Per Row number field. Let’s take a look at the settings we’ll use: Keeping the new path selected, open up the Create Tiled Clones window by clicking the menu bar, and selecting Edit > Clone > Create Tiled Clones… With the Create Tiled Clones window now open, click on the Rotation tab. If you need to change the stroke or fill, that can be done using the Fill and Stroke Palette. With the Bezier Tool, create a simple path that runs horizontally. Let’s walk through the process of cloning and spinning a simple path in Inkscape. ![]() (Go to the Menu Bar and select File > Inkscape Preferences… or Shift-Control-P) How to Clone and Spin Paths How Inkscape treats cloned paths after the fact can be determined within Inkscape’s Preferences. ![]() These transformations include shift (translation), scale, rotation, blur, opacity (which is really nice!), and color variation. What does the Create Tiled Clones window do? It allows you to clone any selected path or object and apply transformations to those clones. Imagine some of the things you could do? So how did I achieve this? I used the Create Tiled Clones window. You can find the Create Tiled Clones window by clicking the menu bar, and selecting Edit > Clone > Create Tiled Clones… To me, I see massive potential for this technique. Per the caption, I created a simple 2-point path, and cloned and spun it to create the effect that you see here. Introducing the Create Tiled Clones Window ![]()
