[Ipe-discuss] fill closed line after grouping separate pieces

[Bornia, Giorgio]

Thank you so much Johan,
 with "Join paths" it works exactly like I wanted!
On the other hand, with "Compose paths" it still gives me the same issue as with "Group"
(that is, the splines are filled by first creating a "closing line" that joins the two endpoints,
and then filling the "closed regions" obtained between the spline itself and the "closing line").
Nevermind, I found one solution and that's enough :)

Best,
giorgio

Hi
you should not do grouping but either "Compose paths" or "Join Lines"
Difference is
    Compose is doing what you would expect the grouping to to, allows you to fill it with color.  Lines that are joint with compose can be decomposed just like ungrouped.

    Join lines you do with two lines that have at least one point in common. It connects them and makes one path of two paths.  When you do edit path on the new one, you can edit both.

You reach the compose and join with content sensitive menue (third button) after selection.

hope it explains

Dear all,
    I created a closed line in Ipe by grouping separate pieces of open lines
(some of which are splines, some of which are straight).
Now I want to fill the enclosed domain with some color,
but I don't get what I want.
It seems like it still sees the pieces as separate and not as a whole.

Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Giorgio
