I have the area in mind for an irregularย path, and was wondering if it is possible to set its size by area instead of height and width
Not sure - donยดt get the picture. Is it perhaps about filling an irregular shape to its max size in a given area like here with an ellipse in a square?
You could use the Extensions > Visualize paths > Measure path to know the area of an irregular path and optionaly know it's center of mass.
You could then make trial and error to approximate :
Not a really easy way to do...
ย
Another thing exists in the Universe.
Note - this is a geometric tool. It will set path size based on given area, but ignores stroke width / filters etc.
A workaround would be to do the sizing with a zero stroke path, then Edit>Paste>Paste sizeย possibly

Inklinea does it again!ย ๐๐ฅ
