Here is a comprehensive video tutorial, (created by syllie) that demonstrates how to use the awesome new spiro swirls feature in Inkscape 0.47, which was released in November 2009.
The first time I learnt about spiro in Inkscape was actually through Andy’s tut. While I was working on my tutorial, the contents on Andy’s blog were removed, which made linking to his quite useless. But I am the first to admit that the mini-tutorial was a source of inspiration.

hey really good little website you got here I work with the identical theme on my own blog yet for whatever silly reason it seems to reload more rapid on this web site despite the fact that the one you have contains way more content material. Have you been employing some plug ins or widgets that will speed it up? Do you think you could share the plug ins so I might use them in my own website so twilight breaking dawn fans could watch twilight new moon online trailers and videos faster I’d personally be thankful – thank you in advance Articles 16:40
[...] Posted in Inkscape I watched HeathenX’s spiro tutorial on creating spiral patterns with the Bezier, Pencil and Spiro tools then found this illustrator tutorial on YouTube which I thought I could replicate (not exactly). Also, as I posted previosly, I relied heavily on this tutorial. [...]
Thanks for a great tut. I have a problem though in the very first thing to do. after selecting bezier curve, setting the drawing mode to “creat spiro path” and selecting the shape to ‘triangle in’ I am unable to just draw. The tutorial shows the curve as it is drawn, but mine does not. Mine just has a line that follows wherever my cursor goes. I end up not being able to control the curve i want at all and just have to make do with what it gives me. Any help? I’m so excited to use this and everything else works, its just the first thing. Thanks
