Thank you for your help. I have tried to use the transform="scale (0.5)", but it doesn't give the results that I am looking for. I need to somehow inset it within the current path data using the current coordinate system. I know it is possible to do using some type of transform matrix because Inkscape has an inset/offset function in it, but I am just not sure of the math or possibly not sure if there is something else that can be used with the scale transform.
I guess in a sense, I need to take each point within the path data, do some type of calculation that will inset it in a certain amount. --- In [email protected], "pavoturkey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Try using <defs> and the <use> tags.
