It is WONDERFUL and the community reflects that. Well written tutorials such as this and the Tavmjong Bah manual are outstanding, simple, clear, fast, just like the program in fact! I'm a REAL novice here, but re: the pattern white line - what happens if you set the stroke to none? Robin Hi

You can work around the problem by editing the SVG markup for your pattern using the editor under EDIT > XML editor. It may be intimidating at first but what you're looking for is a branch that's named something like "svg:pattern". If you select this and then look at the left side of the window, you'll see a set of attributes and values associated with your pattern. The items of interest here are "width" and "height". These values equate to the bounding box of your pattern. If you reduce them slightly, you can eliminate the seams. The reason for the visible seams in your pattern is anti-aliasing.
