Gabriel Arazas b088086b06 Merge evergreen notes into the notebook 
Now, it's all under the notebook umbrella. Seems to be appropriate as it
is just my notes after all.

I also updated some notes from there. I didn't keep track of what it is
this time. Something about more learning notes extracted from my
"Learning how to learn" course notes and then some. Lack of time and
hurriness just makes it difficult to track but it should be under
version control already.

Inkscape

A free software for editing vector files. One of the free alternatives to Adobe Illustrator.

How to turn an image to a symbol

Import the image into the canvas. We will use the image to trace the lines on it. As a personal preference, reduce the opacity of the image to make it easier to see your work in progress.

Then it's all free from here. For a start, you can use the calligraphy and the bezier curve tool.

Repeating patterns on a shape or path

  • you need two things: the object (e.g., a shape, a single line) and a pattern to stamp all over the object
  • select the object and apply the "Pattern along path" effect on it
  • configure the effect to repeat the pattern
  • copy the pattern
  • paste and link the pattern into the object
  • to finalize the effect, convert the object into path
  • the new object is a group composed of the pattern tied together, you can break it apart to change each individual pattern
