00:01 Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on “Mango Pattern for textile design” using Inkscape.
00:08 In this tutorial we will learn to create a Mango pattern, Draw using Pattern along Path
00:17 To record this tutorial, I am using Ubuntu Linux 12.04 OS, Inkscape version 0.91
00:26 Let us open Inkscape.
00:28 Select Bezier tool. On the Tool Controls bar, change the Mode to Create Spiro path and the Shape to Ellipse.
00:38 Now draw a mango type design in the canvas as demonstrated. It should look like a mango pattern.
00:47 Next select the Star tool.
00:50 Now draw a star on the canvas. Click on the Selector tool.
00:55 On the Tool controls bar, change the Width and Height to 30.
01:00 Change the color to red.
01:03 Next we have to create a row pattern of the star.
01:07 To do so, go to Edit menu, click on Clone and Create Tiled Clones.
01:16 Click on Reset.
01:18 Change the number of Rows to 1 and Columns to 46.
01:24 Number of Columns may vary according to the size of the mango shape.
01:28 Click on Create. Now the row pattern is created.
01:33 Select all the stars and press Ctrl + G to group them.

01:42 Go to Extensions, click on Generate from Path and then on Pattern along Path.

02:01 Select the star pattern and press Ctrl + D to duplicate it.
02:07 Now select the duplicated pattern and resize it by pressing Ctrl key.
02:13 Keep it in the middle of the original pattern.
02:16 Let us now fill the empty area inside the mango pattern with another design.
02:21 Select the Bezier tool. Draw a design as demonstrated.
02:28 Now go to Path menu. Select Path Effects.
02:32 Under Pattern along Path, we can find many options.
02:37 In Pattern source, click on the 1st option, that is Edit on-canvas.
02:43 Observe there are 4 nodes created on the top left of the canvas.
02:48 Let me zoom in to see the nodes clearly. Move it near the pattern.
02:54 Now click on the nodes and drag. Now observe the change in the shape.
03:00 Click on the Selector tool. Now go to Path menu and click on Object to Path.
03:06 This is done to avoid any change in the shape, while resizing.
03:12 Resize the pattern as shown. Duplicate it and place inside the Mango pattern.
03:20 Next let us fill the empty area inside the smaller mango pattern.
03:25 Click on the Star tool and draw a star.
03:28 Click on the inner handle and recreate a shape like this. Change the color to blue.
