(Remember that raster graphics (GIMP) and vector graphics (Inkscape) are very, very different.)Īlthough I don't know that for a fact. However, to use as a watermark, I'm guessing you probably need the page to be the same size as the object.
That's what the bounding box shows you, the size of the object. The text already is the size of the bounding box. I'm concerned that you might not need to clip the text at all. If you could give us a little more info about what you want to accomplish, we can guide you in the proper way to do it. Possibly you didn't have both the text/group and clipping path both selected. I don't know why the result would look like your 3rd example, because it looks like you've drawn a whole new clipping path. If you clip the text as you've shown it, it's not going to look any different.Īnyway, you have the correct steps for clipping.
But it's possible you don't need to clip the text at all. It's not clear from your screenshot what else might be happening with the image. (Even though the Rectangle tool draws a shape, not a path, it still works like a path for clipping, and some other things.)īut now that I'm thinking about that, I'm starting to wonder why you want to clip the text in the first place. But in any case, since they are already a single object, you don't need to group them.ģ - While you certainly can use any tool that draws a path, to create the clipping path, in this case you would typically use the Rectangle tool, and draw a rectangle around it. I don't know whether they are one text object or a group (I would need to see the SVG file, to know that). 2 - Ok, if you look at the text after you select it, notice how the bounding box (the dashed line rectangle) is already around both of them.
