[Award Winner] Inkscape Tapering River How-To

[Black Tower of Time]

Hi, All.
Here is RobA's great tutorial as a PDF document.
Regards,
Gary

Thank you very much. This is very helpful as it is more easy to handle beside working on things or for read offline :-)
You also converted RobA's very big award winning tutorial about map drawing in a PDF too?

OK - Here is a real embarrassing update...

I discovered I had recorded a video tutorial (last fall) showing how to do this, along with my workflow of gimp->inkscape->gimp but never uploaded it

It is now hosted at ShowMeDo, so head over and give it a watch if interested! At the least it is another opportunity to laugh at my Canadian accent

Why would I laugh aboot that? It's a very serious matter.

Seriously, thanks for the tut. Nice work.

Man, that's exactly what I was looking for in the last two days. Thank you sooo much!

That's a pretty useful tutorial and I will definitely make use of that in my current project.
Additionally I would suggest an alternative method for the last step.

Instead of grouping the shapes you could also turn them into paths (Path>Object to Path) and then press Ctrl++ to turn them into one path. This would of course take away the option to change the course of the river with nodes ... but it's more useful for my technique where I treat rivers and lakes like inverted coastlines.
