For standard Linux package formats (deb, rpm, …), it depends upon your Linux distribution maintainers whether they will patch up the version of Cairo they want to distribute.Dithering does not work for mesh gradients!.
#INKSCAPE SUBSCRIPT WINDOWS#
This means that it will only be available in the pre-packaged builds (for macOS, Windows and for the Linux AppImage).ĭithering can be turned off (better performance / smaller exported file size for raster images) in Preferences → Rendering → Use dithering. This functionality requires a special version of Cairo, our rendering engine. There just aren't enough colors available for a smooth transition.ĭithering softens these steps by scattering pixels of the different adjacent colors along the gradient, a little bit like a blur.ĭithering is now used both for Export of raster images as well as for displaying gradients on canvas ( MR #3812). The effect becomes especially prominent when exporting a gradient that only spans a small color range to a high-resolution image. Gradient banding is caused by the difference between how many different colors are available for the selected image file format and how many colors a human eye can discern. Inkscape's gradients sometimes suffered from visible steps between colors, a phenomenon also known as gradient banding. You can also choose whether the embedded image data should be replaced by a link to the exported file ( MR extensions#461, Bug extensions#167). You can now enter a base filename if none is entered, the ids of the selected images are used as filename. The Extract image command has been improved and works with multiple images now.This also helps find objects you've hidden, as the option to unhide objects under the cursor only appears if there are hidden objects in that location ( MR #3800). Context menus no longer contain functionality that is not available for the selected object (no greyed-out items anymore), making it easier to find what you're looking for.Improved and reliably working settings for padding, tile size and tile shape / auto-stretching.

Between 1 and 5 palette rows that can be displayed all at once, or scrolled through vertically / using the arrow buttons.
