The last few days I have designed very simple gradients in Inkscape and saving them in Inkscape SVG, Plain SVG and Optimised SVG. I wish to be able to design from scratch. However, this importing old AI files, is not how I wish to do it in future. I just wish it would do this one thing with gradients and the web. But for what I am not know having to pay on a regular basis for only doing design work every now and then: well, I am not complaining. There are probably ways but I don't know near enough yet. I really like Inkscape as it is in many ways better than AI while losing just the capability of save gradients, styles, swatches, etc and a little more freedom than preset extensions. So, I experimented some and found I could 'import' various gradient I used in AI and then Cleaning the Document to get rid of unwanted ones. When I open the AI file I saw the gradient had come across with it. This one I did after moving to Version 1.0 Beta.Īs for how I made the gradient. It was the only was I could get it to display in web browsers. I have been able to get my Logo done with the last bit of AI I had left, saved it as SVG and then brought it into Inkscape and save it as a Plain SVG. While I used to use AI over time, I am not understanding of all the SVG specifications. I am not sure I understand the 'Points to gradiantA' and 'points to GradientB' and generic coordinated. Please help, I have spent weeks on this project in total in both AI and Inkscape. The majority of the original image has been removed just to show the most simple difference between the AI and Inkscape SVG versions. Is there a setting I am missing somewhere.

However, I cannot find anything on just normal Gradients. I understand from this forum that Inkscape's Gradient Mesh has a problem with displaying in broswers. The AI SVG will display correctly but the Inkscape SVG just display a plain colour instead. The Illustrator file has been saved as an SVG just to show what is happening. I have spent days learning Inkscape and re-making an image I had constructed in Illustrator but it does not display as it should in the Inkscape SVG version. Hi, I'm am new to Inkscape having moved over from Adobe Illustrator.Ĭan anyone please explain if there is a simple fix to allow gradients used in Inkscape to display correctly?
