I use Ubuntu 14.04 32 bits, and I want to use Gradient Mesh on Inkscape 0.48.5 r

I watched here that exist a tutorial, but I didn't saw this resource in my Inkscape.

How can I enable this Gradient Mesh?

Thanks!

  • What is your version of Inkscape? This feature is in Inkscape version 0.48+devel r12483. I've got Inkscape 0.48.4 r9939 (from PPA, under 14.04 LTS) and this isn't yet available in my version.

I have now got 0.91 from the Inkscape PPA.

To enable access to gradient mesh editing (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS), I had to do the following. In Inkscape:

  1. Go to Edit > Preferences (or SHIFT-CTRL-P), then Interface > Keyboard Shortcuts.
  2. In "Search" look for toolmesh as search term.
  3. That should leave Context with a drop-down toggle. Toggle it to reveal a line that says:

    Mesh ... Create and edit meshes

  4. Click on the line in the "Shortcut" column, and choose your "accelerator" key combination (I used CTRL-ALT-M, fwiw).

Close the preferences dialog. Next time you click on an object, you can hit your key combination to put the gradient editor into "mesh-mode", as in the video linked by OP.
