Beginners' Questions How to get rid of empty space between polygons?

    I createdseveral (mostly triangular) polygons using the Beziertool. I did this in a manner, where each point of any polygon should be aligned at the edge or border of another polygon, with snapping enabled. I then want to fill every polygon with a color or shape, without a contour. The problem now is, that there are small line spaces between all the polygons and I dont know why, or how to get rid of it. Is der a easy solution to this, or is my error more trivial?

    I am attaching a test file, where the problem can be easily seen.

    Cheers

    That´s the world most famous Anti Aliasing effect.

    Only thing in your case is to add stroke of same color to your polygons. When it´s just for rendering/exporting to PNG for instance you can group everything and make 2 or three duplicates of the group to simulate kinda "super sampling".

    I believe this extension can help with adding stroke of the same color - didn´t test it myself: https://inkscape.org/~jabiertxof/★stroke-color-as-fill

    The updated Versions by Mario Vogt "Inkscape Extensions mightyscape-1.x" contains a working version. Bravo.

    Hi Polygon, thanks for the quick answer. The filling seems to work, but now I have the problem, that the borders are to wide (in any case) and the triangles are not tight. I included a picture to show the problem, where the anchor point of the corners of the triangles is marked by the black small triangle. In this case now, they overlap at several points, which in the end is not looking too good. I will try the other option you mentioned and will let you know

    You have enabled "dynamic offset" for some shapes - I´d recommend to select all and go Path->Object to path - then change stroke style Join: to "Round join".
