Beginners' Questions Distort Pattern Fill?

    Nube question - Evaluating Inkscape for a specific use. (v Affinity Designer and v Vectorstyler)

    Inkscape allows vector and bitmap pattern fills. One can also modify an object shape/outline.

    Is there the ability to have the fill distort with changes in the object outline?

    Out of the box, I don't think so.  There may be an extension out there, but it may take a hunt. 

    One might work in Inkscape with linked bitmaps while editing in Gimp, but actions in Inkscape would not automagically drive the changes in Gimp.

    I did find that VectorStyler was supposed to have this feature, but I have found it to be quite buggy.

     

    Many Thanks!

    svg transforms will distort patterns, bitmap or vector, so it's possible to generate isometric perspectives. Envelope and perspective distortions only distort vector objects and don't work with patterns.

    I just discovered an extension for this but I can't get it to work on my mac. You might have better luck in Linux or Windows. Let us know what you find.
