One way is to use the Pen tool, and trace over it. If you need to use Inkscape, you'll have to convert that raster image to vector before you can make the lines thinner. It depends on what you want to do with the image, as to whether it would be better for you to use Inkscape, or a raster editor (such as GIMP). Next, I guess it might be a good idea to ask why you want to make the lines thinner. If you don't have paths, you can't have a stroke, which is what you would make thinner or wider. It's a raster image, and doesn't have any paths. GIMP is a raster graphics editor, while Inkscape is a vector graphics editor.ĭid you open the file you attached (59.jpg) in Inkscape? And that's where you can't change the width of the line? If so, that's because JPG is a raster format. This doesn't tell the whole story, but it gives a general idea. So first, I should explain about the difference between raster graphics and vector graphics. If you gave us a link to the svg file you are working with it might be more telling.Īahh ok. If that works, you wind up with paths that have no inherent thickness and you can assign as you wish. An extension you can download and add might work. What would be better is a path, (open path) and not a shape, (closed path.)ĭoing a centerline trace might give you what you are wishing for. That said, I bet your scan and resulting trace bitmap produced a shape, that can't have its thickness less than what it is. It will never be less thick than its shape, unless you change the shape. It is very different than how thick it is based on how thick you make the outline or stroke. This object is a solid shape, with how thick it is defined by its shape, (a closed path.) This type of thickness is a result of it's shape. If you give it a thickness, say 2 points, then do Stroke to path, it becomes an object. If you draw a line with Inkscape, it is a path, likely an open path.
