Drawing and arranging Basic Shapes

Let us see how we can do this in Inkscape. In this process we will also learn a few new tools.

  • First create a rectangle of height 400 px and width 100 px using the Rectangle Tool
  • Remove Fill colour and keep only Stroke (outline colour)
  • Create a circle with diameter of 100 px using the Ellipse tool
  • Make it a semi-circle with help of Ellipse tool.
  • Align the rectangle and circle with help of Align tool
  • Now move the rectangle closer to the circle so that they touch each other
  • Combine the rectangle and circle into a single shape using the Union option in Path
Now let us look at this test tube in terms of the basic shapes.
  • The test tube can be thought of as composed of two rectangles and a semi-circle as shown below:

  • To make clear the different shapes we arrange the shapes as shown below
