Tutorial | 基本
このチュートリアルは Inkscape の基本的な使用法について説明しています。これは Inkscape 正規のドキュメントであり閲覧、編集、複製、および保存が可能です。
The Basic Tutorial covers canvas navigation, managing documents, shape tool basics, selection techniques, transforming objects with selector, grouping, setting fill and stroke, alignment, and z-order. For more advanced topics, check out the other tutorials in the Help menu.
キャンバスのパン
There are many ways to pan (scroll) the document canvas. Try Ctrl+arrow keys to scroll by keyboard. (Try this now to scroll this document down.) You can also drag the canvas by the middle mouse button. Or, you can use the scrollbars (press Ctrl+B to show or hide them). The wheel on your mouse also works for scrolling vertically; press Shift with the wheel to scroll horizontally.
ズームインとズームアウト
The easiest way to zoom is by pressing - and + (or =) keys. You can also use Ctrl+middle click or Ctrl+right click to zoom in, Shift+middle click or Shift+right click to zoom out, or rotate the mouse wheel with Ctrl. Or, you can click in the zoom entry field (in the bottom right corner of the document window), type a precise zoom value in %, and press Enter. We also have the Zoom tool (in the toolbar on left) which lets you to zoom into an area by dragging around it.
Inkscape also keeps a history of the zoom levels you've used in this work session. Press the ` key to go back to the previous zoom, or Shift+` to go forward.
Inkscape のツール
左側の縦のツールバーには Inkscape の描画ならびに編集ツールを表示しています。ウインドウの一番上、メニューの下に一般的なコマンドボタンのあるコマンドバー、そして各ツール固有のの入力域を表示するツールコントロールバーが配置されています。ウインドウの下にあるステータスバーには作業に応じて有用なヒントとメッセージが表示されます。
Many operations are available through keyboard shortcuts. Open Help⇒Keys and Mouse Reference to see the complete reference.
ドキュメントの作成と管理
To create a new empty document, use File⇒New or press Ctrl+N. To create a new document from one of Inkscape's many templates, use File⇒New from Template… or press Ctrl+Alt+N
To open an existing SVG document, use File⇒Open (Ctrl+O). To save, use File⇒Save (Ctrl+S), or File⇒Save As (Shift+Ctrl+S) to save under a new name. (Inkscape may still be unstable, so remember to save often!)
Inkscape はファイル形式に SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) を採用しています。SVG は広くグラフィックソフトウェアで使用されているオープンな標準です。SVG ファイルは、XML を基準としていてあらゆるテキストエディターと XML エディターで編集することができます (そう、Inkscape をはなれても)。Inkscape は SVG 以外のフォーマット (EPS や PNG など) の入出力も行えます。
Inkscape opens a separate document window for each document. You can navigate among them using your window manager (e.g. by Alt+Tab), or you can use the Inkscape shortcut, Ctrl+Tab, which will cycle through all open document windows. (Create a new document now and switch between it and this document for practice.) Note: Inkscape treats these windows like tabs in a web browser, this means the Ctrl+Tab shortcut only works with documents running in the same process. If you open multiple files from a file browser or launch more than one Inkscape process from an icon it will not work.
シェイプの作成
格好いいシェイプを作ってみよう! ツールバーの矩形ツールをクリック (か F4 を押す) し、新しいドキュメントの中か、ここでクリックおよびドラッグしてみましょう:
見ての通り、デフォルトの矩形は青く半透明で、黒いストローク (輪郭) になっています。これがどう変わるかを見ていきましょう。他のツール、円/弧、星形、螺旋を作ってみましょう。
これらのツールは総称してシェイプツールと呼ばれます。各シェイプには一つ以上のひし形のハンドルがあります。このハンドルをドラッグしてシェイプがどう変わるか見てみましょう。シェイプのコントロールパネルはシェイプを調整するもう一つの方法です。コントロールは選択中のシェイプ (すなわち、ハンドルの表示されているシェイプ) に効果があり、そして新しく作成したシェイプのデフォルト値として適用されます。
To undo your last action, press Ctrl+Z. (Or, if you change your mind again, you can redo the undone action by Shift+Ctrl+Z.)
移動、拡大縮小、回転
Inkscape で最もよく使われるツールは選択ツールです。ツールバーの一番上にあるボタン (矢印の) をクリックするか、または F1 か Space を押します。するとキャンバス上のすべてのオブジェクトが選択可能になります。この矩形をクリックしてみましょう。
矢印型の 8 個のハンドルがオブジェクトの回りに表示されます。ここで:
Move the object by dragging it. (Press Ctrl to restrict movement to horizontal and vertical.)
Scale the object by dragging any handle. (Press Ctrl to preserve the original height/width ratio.)
今一度矩形をクリックしてください。ハンドルが変るはずです。ここで:
Rotate the object by dragging corner handles. (Press Ctrl to restrict rotation to 15 degree steps. Drag the cross mark to position the center of rotation.)
Skew (shear) the object by dragging non-corner handles. (Press Ctrl to restrict skewing to 15 degree steps.)
選択ツールの状態で、(キャンバスの上にある) コントロールバーの数値入力フィールドを使用し、正確な座標 (X とY) と大きさ (幅と高さ) を入力することもできます。
キーによる変形
他のベクターエディターに比べ Inkscape を大きく特徴づけているのは、キーボード操作の重視です。キーボードから操作できないコマンドや操作はほとんどなく、オブジェクトの変形も例外ではありません。
You can use the keyboard to move (arrow keys), scale (< and > keys), and rotate ([ and ] keys) objects. Default moves and scales are by 2 px; with Shift, you move by 10 times that. Ctrl+> and Ctrl+< scale up or down to 200% or 50% of the original, respectively. Default rotates are by 15 degrees; with Ctrl, you rotate by 90 degrees.
However, perhaps the most useful are pixel-sizetransformations, invoked by using Alt with the transform keys. For example, Alt+arrows will move the selection by 1 pixel at the current zoom (i.e. by 1 screen pixel, not to be confused with the px unit which is an SVG length unit independent of zoom). This means that if you zoom in, one Alt+arrow will result in a smaller absolute movement which will still look like one-pixel nudge on your screen. It is thus possible to position objects with arbitrary precision simply by zooming in or out as needed.
Similarly, Alt+> and Alt+< scale selection so that its visible size changes by one screen pixel, and Alt+[ and Alt+] rotate it so that its farthest-from-center point moves by one screen pixel.
Note: Linux users may not get the expected results with the Alt+arrow and a few other key combinations if their Window Manager catches those key events before they reach the inkscape application. One solution would be to change the WM's configuration accordingly.
複数選択
You can select any number of objects simultaneously by Shift+clicking them. Or, you can drag around the objects you need to select; this is called rubberband selection. (Selector creates rubberband when dragging from an empty space; however, if you press Shift before starting to drag, Inkscape will always create the rubberband.) Practice by selecting all three of the shapes below:
Now, use rubberband (by drag or Shift+drag) to select the two ellipses but not the rectangle:
選択されている各オブジェクトは、デフォルトで破線の矩形である選択キューを表示します。このキューは何が選択されていて何が選択されていないのかを一度に確認するのに役立ちます。例えば、もし 2 つの楕円と矩形を選択した場合、選択キューがないと楕円が選択されているかどうかを判断するのが難しいでしょう。
Shift+clicking on a selected object excludes it from the selection. Select all three objects above, then use Shift+click to exclude both ellipses from the selection leaving only the rectangle selected.
Pressing Esc deselects any selected objects. Ctrl+A selects all objects in the current layer (if you did not create layers, this is the same as all objects in the document).
グループ化
複数のオブジェクトを結合してグループにすることができます。グループはドラッグや変形をすると一つのオブジェクトのように振る舞います。下の左の 3 つのオブジェクトは別個のもので、右の 3 つのオブジェクトはグループです。グループをドラッグしてください。
To create a group, you select one or more objects and press Ctrl+G. To ungroup one or more groups, select them and press Ctrl+U. Groups themselves may be grouped, just like any other objects; such recursive groups may go down to arbitrary depth. However, Ctrl+U only ungroups the topmost level of grouping in a selection; you'll need to press Ctrl+U repeatedly if you want to completely ungroup a deep group-in-group.
You don't necessarily have to ungroup, however, if you want to edit an object within a group. Just Ctrl+click that object and it will be selected and editable alone, or Shift+Ctrl+click several objects (inside or outside any groups) for multiple selection regardless of grouping. Try to move or transform the individual shapes in the group (above right) without ungrouping it, then deselect and select the group normally to see that it still remains grouped.
フィルとストローク
Probably the simplest way to paint an object some color is to select an object, and click a swatch in the palette below the canvas to paint it (change its fill color). Alternatively, you can open the Swatches dialog from the View menu (or press Shift+Ctrl+W), select an object, and click a swatch to paint it (change its fill color).
More powerful is the Fill and Stroke dialog from the Object menu (or press Shift+Ctrl+F). Select the shape below and open the Fill and Stroke dialog.
このダイアログには 3 つのタブ、すなわち、フィル、ストロークの塗り、ストロークスタイルがあります。フィルタブは選択したオブジェクトのフィル (内部の塗り) を編集します。タブのすぐ下のボタンでフィルの有無 (×のボタン)、単一色、線形グラデーション、放射状グラデーションを選択できます。上のシェイプでは単一色が有効になっています。
さらにその下には、数種のカラーピッカーがあります。各ピッカーはタブになっています (RGB、CMYK、HSL、そしてホイール)。おそらくもっとも便利なのは三角形を回して色を選択し、三角形の中で彩度を選択するホイールピッカーでしょう。すべてのピッカーはオブジェクトのアルファ値 (不透明度) を設定するためのスライダーを備えています。
オブジェクトを選択するとカラーピッカーは現在のオブジェクトのフィルとストローク値に更新されます (複数のオブジェクトが選択されている場合、平均の色が表示されます)。以下のサンプルや、自分で作ったオブジェクトで試してみましょう:
ストロークペイントタブで、ストローク (輪郭) を取り除くことや色と透明度の設定ができます:
最後のストロークスタイルタブでは、ストロークの幅とその他のパラメーターを設定できます:
最後に、フィルやストロークに単一色に代えて、グラデーションを適用できます:
When you switch from flat color to gradient, the newly created gradient uses the previous flat color, going from opaque to transparent. Switch to the Gradient tool (Ctrl+F1) to drag the gradient handles — the controls connected by lines that define the direction and length of the gradient. When any of the gradient handles is selected (highlighted blue), the Fill and Stroke dialog sets the color of that handle instead of the color of the entire selected object.
Yet another convenient way to change a color of an object is by using the Dropper tool (F7). Just click anywhere in the drawing with that tool, and the picked color will be assigned to the selected object's fill (Shift+click will assign stroke color).
複製、整列、配置
One of the most common operations is duplicating an object (Ctrl+D). The duplicate is placed exactly above the original and is selected, so you can drag it away by mouse or by arrow keys. For practice, try to fill the line with copies of this black square:
Chances are, your copies of the square are placed more or less randomly. This is where the Align and Distribute dialog (Shift+Ctrl+A) is useful. Select all the squares (Shift+click or drag a rubberband), open the dialog and press the “Center on horizontal axis” button, then the “Make horizontal gaps between objects equal” button (read the button tooltips). The objects are now neatly aligned and distributed equispacedly. Here are some other alignment and distribution examples:
Z 軸順序
The term z-order refers to the stacking order of objects in a drawing, i.e. to which objects are on top and obscure others. The two commands in the Object menu, Raise to Top (the Home key) and Lower to Bottom (the End key), will move your selected objects to the very top or very bottom of the current layer's z-order. Two more commands, Raise (PgUp) and Lower (PgDn), will sink or emerge the selection one step only, i.e. move it past one non-selected object in z-order (only objects that overlap the selection count, based on their respective bounding boxes).
これらのコマンドを使って左の楕円が一番上、右の楕円が一番下にくるように下のオブジェクトの Z 軸順序を反転してみましょう:
A very useful selection shortcut is the Tab key. If nothing is selected, it selects the bottommost object; otherwise it selects the object above theselected object(s) in z-order. Shift+Tab works in reverse, starting from the topmost object and proceeding downwards. Since the objects you create are added to the top of the stack, pressing Shift+Tab with nothing selected will conveniently select the object you created last. Practice the Tab and Shift+Tab keys on the stack of ellipses above.
隠れているオブジェクトの選択とドラッグでの選択
他のオブジェクトの下にあって隠れているオブジェクトはどうやって選択したらいいのでしょう? 上のオブジェクトが (半) 透明なら下のオブジェクトを見ることはできますが、クリックすると必要としていない上のオブジェクトが選択されてしまいます。
This is what Alt+click is for. First Alt+click selects the top object just like the regular click. However, the next Alt+click at the same point will select the object below the top one; the next one, the object still lower, etc. Thus, several Alt+clicks in a row will cycle, top-to-bottom, through the entire z-order stack of objects at the click point. When the bottom object is reached, next Alt+click will, naturally, again select the topmost object.
[If you are on Linux, you might find that Alt+click does not work properly. Instead, it might be moving the whole Inkscape window. This is because your window manager has reserved Alt+click for a different action. The way to fix this is to find the Window Behavior configuration for your window manager, and either turn it off, or map it to use the Meta key (aka Windows key), so Inkscape and other applications may use the Alt key freely.]
This is nice, but once you selected an under-the-surface object, what can you do with it? You can use keys to transform it, and you can drag the selection handles. However, dragging the object itself will reset the selection to the top object again (this is how click-and-drag is designed to work — it selects the (top) object under cursor first, then drags the selection). To tell Inkscape to drag whatis selected now without selecting anything else, use Alt+drag. This will move the current selection no matter where you drag your mouse.
Practice Alt+click and Alt+drag on the two brown shapes under the green transparent rectangle:
Selecting similar objects
Inkscape can select other objects similar to the object currently selected. For example, if you want to select all the blue squares below first select one of the blue squares, and use Edit⇒Select Same⇒Fill Color from the menu. All the objects with a fill color the same shade of blue are now selected.
In addition to selecting by fill color, you can select multiple similar objects by stroke color, stroke style, fill & stroke, and object type.
最後に
This concludes the Basic tutorial. There's much more than that to Inkscape, but with the techniques described here, you will already be able to create simple yet useful graphics. For more complicated stuff, go through the Advanced and other tutorials in Help⇒Tutorials.
