00:01 Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on Create patterns in Inkscape.
00:06 In this tutorial, We will learn to create patterns using:

Cloning Pattern along path Spray tool and Path effect editor.

00:17 To record this tutorial, I am using:

Ubuntu Linux 12.04 OS Inkscape version 0.48.4

00:27 Let us open Inkscape.
00:29 Click on the Star tool and draw a star in the canvas.
00:33 Now click on the Selector tool.
00:36 On the Tools controls bar, change the Width and Height parameters to 40.
00:42 Zoom in and click on the star once.
00:46 Observe that the pivot point is visible now. It's the plus shape in the centre of the star object.
00:53 Click and move the pivot point far away from the star, as demonstrated here.
00:59 Now, go to Edit menu, click on Clone and then on Create Tiled clones.
01:06 A new dialog box opens up. You can find many tabs and many options under each tab.
01:15 Under Symmetry tab, we can see a drop-down menu with various methods. For this 'demo', we will keep the option simple translation.
01:25 Change the rows and columns parameters to 1 and 40 respectively.
01:32 Next, go to Shift tab. Change the percentage of Shift X parameter under Per column to -100, as shown here.
01:41 Next, let us go to Rotation tab. Change the Angle under Per column to 10.
01:48 Now, click on Create button. Observe, a circle pattern is formed with the star.
01:55 Likewise, you can use the other options under Create Tiled clones to make many beautiful patterns.
02:01 Let us move this star circle aside.
02:04 Next, we will learn how to create a pattern along a path.
02:09 Select Rectangle tool and draw a rounded rectangle. Color it green. Then click on the Selector tool.
02:20 On the Tool controls bar, change the Width to 540 and Height to 250.
02:28 Next, draw a star pattern using the Star tool.
02:32 Click on the Selector tool. On the Tool controls bar, change the Width and Height to 50.
02:40 Place it on the top left border of the rectangle.
02:45 Select both the shapes. Go to Extensions menu.
02:48 Click on Generate from path and then on Pattern along Path.
02:55 Change the Copies of the patterns option to Repeated and the Deformation type option to Ribbon.
03:03 Click on Apply button and Close button. Observe, a beautiful pattern is formed around border of the rectangle.
03:11 Let us now create another pattern using Path effects.
03:16 Select Bezier tool and draw a wavy path.
03:20 Go to Path menu. Click on Path Effects Editor. A dialog box opens up.
03:27 Click on Apply new effect drop-down menu. Notice, there are various effects listed here.
03:33 Let me select Gears and then click on Add. Observe the change in the shape.
03:41 Next, select Sketch and click on Add button. Observe the effect.
03:48 In the Path Effect Editor, you can find various parameters related to the current effect.
03:54 Let us change one of them, say, Strokes. Let's change it to 10 and press Enter. Observe the change on the object.
04:03 Now, close the Path Effect Editor dialog box.
04:08 Select all the shapes and move it to one side.
04:12 Next, we will learn to create a tree pattern using Spray tool.
04:18 Select Bezier tool. Draw a tree-trunk as demonstrated and color it brown. Now, draw a leaf and color it green.
04:38 Select Spray tool and click on the leaf shape.
04:43 Now, without releasing the mouse, drag around the trunk to create a tree.
04:51 Observe a tree shape is formed.
04:55 That's all for this tutorial. Let us summarize.
04:58 In this tutorial, we have learnt to create patterns using:

Cloning Pattern along path Spray tool and Path effect editor.
