An EPS file can contain text as well as graphics. There are other tutorials, but they are more for specific things.What is a vector EPS file? Encapsulated Postscript Vector graphics (Adobe Illustrator) EPS is a file extension for a graphics file format used in vector-based images in Adobe Illustrator. Even though it's called 'advanced' it really is for beginners too. Also in Inkscape, and this is how I first learned to use Inkscape, Help menu > Tutorials > Basic, Shapes, and Advanced. In Inkscape, Help menu > Inkscape manual. You can go to the Home tab of this website to find beginner tutorials. Then select both, and do Path menu > Difference. Then you can draw a rectangle and place it over the top of the triangle. That will make an isosceles triangle, which is the kind you need to end up with the isosceles trapezoid. Hold the Ctrl key while you draw the 3-corner polygon (triangle), and drag straight up or down.

Use the Star/Polygon control bar to set to draw polygons, and set corners to 3.

Another way might be to start with the Star/Polygon tool. This is one of the many things which can be done in several different ways, with Inkscape.

Or instead of arrow keys, you can use the X field on the Node tool control bar to move by some particular value.ĭo the same thing for the other corner, only in the other direction. Hold the Alt key, and it will move something less than 2 px, and how much depends on the zoom level. Hold the Shift key while you do it, and it will move 20 px each time. Each time you press an arrow key, the selected node will move by 2 px. Then use the left or right arrow key to move it. Now you can edit with the Node toolĬlick on one of the corner nodes, to select it. That makes your rectangle shape into a rectangular path.

You can make them sharp by selecting it, and clicking this button on the Rectangle control barĪfter that, do Path menu > Object to Path. Well, a rectangle is a good place to start But it sounds like your rectangle has rounded corners. A pyramid with the top cut off.I think you're talking about (technically) an isosceles trapezoid.
