I have found the following post but I don't understand the answer, maybe because I am a noob at Figma.
I have chain like this but longer. Can I somehow make it go along any path like spiral without changing it thickness and without making it into brush?

I have an issue with a pattern image (TIFF) that I just cant get around with. To keep the explanation short, I'll add pictures for reference.

I am looking for a geometrically accurate way of creating a venn diagram. Lacking a specific method, I improvised and the circles probably don't overlap like they should.

I have an image layer that's almost a perfect rectangle - it is a photograph I took of a rectangular object and have carefully cropped out. Is there a way to either warp it into a perfect rectangle or have it snap to guidelines within my project? I want all of the edges to be perfectly straight and square. Thanks!
Like what the title says, basically is there a way to disable a object ability to overlap with another object especially when moving? If not any ideas what would be a workaround for me? In this case I am trying to move the circle so it perfectly touches those two lines and so I can make a nice circular curve. So the ...

I have a question about how the quantity and orientation of text can impact on the user experience. Have a look at the attached sketch.

I already have the bezier tool taking different forms, for example, when I draw a straight line, sometimes it doesn't change the width, I can't zoom in or out, then after I finish the line, sometimes it becomes invisible, it can't be restored, sometimes after I finish drawing a thin line, the line suddenly grows.
I have a color that has a HEX value of 180031 or rgb(24, 0, 49). However, the color is supposed to be a shade of purple with a black background, but I don't know what the alpha value is.

In Inkscape 1.2.2 on Windows 10 I'm tryint to create an SVG that completely starts off from px measurements, and I'm trying to get the base measurements (widths, heights, stroke widths, etc) all in integer values.

Here is a character table I hand-assembled from a book that was published in 1954. I'm trying to figure what font this was typeset in. The scan I have is of very low quality but it is good enough to observe the characteristic uppercase 'G', 'J', 'K', 'Q', 'R', and 'W', and the italic lowercase 'p' and uppercase 'W'. Th...
I like the shapes of AMS euler. I would like to use it for text, but it is made just of math typesetting, so it is missing some basic glyphs like hyphen, dashes, quotation marks and letters with diacritics, and the letters are too spaced apart. What are typefaces like AMS Euler but suitable for text? The idea is that t...
First off - I have very little experience working with SVGs beyond using them as image files. I have an SVG file I got from a third-party vendor. Whenever I save the SVG, it sets the width and height to 1146px. If I remove those attributes, embed the SVG in my html file with a set width/height of 16px, the svg is 16x...
If I wish to make an asymmetric stroke with the thickness to one side of the line in Illustrator or Vectorstyler, there is an option to alter the profile of the stroke for this purpose. In Designer, I seem to be limited to changes that run symmetrically along the stroke. Is this correct, or have I missed something? Edi...
I am developing a star chart. As of now, I am using pure black color (HTML #000000) for the background to display the stars on. I have a sample that was printed by Posterbrain, and that was laminated. It has come out well, but the black color is very shiny (i.e reflective). There is also a light blue color on the ch...
After much trying tutorials and googling how to remove the black outlines of text in Inkscape (I think it's the "stroke"), I have no luck.

I want to curve the line between points of a path using a specific value. Instead of dragging the line to curve it, I want to type a specific curvature value. Otherwise, it is impossible to get two line curved exactly the same way. The exact coordinates of points in a path can easily be set. However, I really haven't f...
Notice the small space before the letter L in the first two lines in the following image. It's more notable the larger the font size, but it's there in the second line too. The fonts in this example are Noto Sans/Noto Serif and sizes are 60/12 pt, but it's the same with other fonts I've tried. Is there a technical ter...

In most fonts the “8” is asymmetric - for example, with the upper circle being smaller than the lower one. I need a font where if you flip the 8 upside down by rotating it 180 degrees what you get is identical to the unflipped 8. Anyone know of some fonts where the 8 is designed like this? Thanks!

I would like to erase by hand with a brush or eraser tool, but I only want darker colors to be erased. For example, if a pixel under the brush is 100% black (luminosity=0), it would get 100% erased (turned to opacity/alpha=0%). If a pixel is a dark blue (say luminosity=20), it would get 80% erased (alpha=20%). If a pix...
I'm using Adobe Illustrator 2020. I just can't make points align. Notice I don't want to merge the lines.

What is the name of this kind of vertical separator between sections? I've seen it somewhere but can't remember where or what it's called. It's likely a specific type of printer's ornament, however I can't seem to match it anywhere.
I need to produce a scale going from "bad to good". Usually red stands for bad and green for good.

Are A...

I'm currently learning UI design, right now I'm focusing on color. I make good progress, but now I have hit a roadblock I can't wrap my head around. I understood that it's possible to design an interface with just one color. The key is to create darker and lighter variation of that base color. For a darker variation, I...

I've recently come across a new menu command for smart objects - "Convert to Layers", I don't really understand its purpose as all it seems to do is reverting a smart object back to a raster layer. What is it meant to be used for where there already is the "Rasterize Layer"command?
I have a bunch of emf files that were converted from svg files with Inkscape commandline. The SVG files were autogenerated and have text objects. Within an SVG file, the text is nicely editable.

I exported an image (from R) to SVG and want to modify it with Inkscape. My problem is that when I change the font size, it only changes it vertically, the width is not changing at all, which therefore disforms the text. The width of the text is somehow stuck and I don't know how to fix it.

The circle/ellipse/arc tool works well, however, I am finding the tool is copying the last used circle somehow. I have previously tried editing the nodes, and fiddling until e.g. a circle looks perfect by eye.
