Hey, everybody. Why can’t I color an SVG shape? I apply the color, but nothing happens. Tried downloading other files - similar. Is it possible I’m doing something wrong? This is my first time trying to apply SVG. Can I post a link to an example file here?
I don’t know this for sure, because I have never tried to do this, but I suspect that a .SVG file contains its own color information just like a bitmap file would, so perhaps from that perspective, it’s nonsensical to try and color a colored object. That said, there may be a way around it by changing the filter where you can use different modes to render it, and there may be one that cuts the shape out of the current layer, and you can place the color behind it. Again, I haven’t messed with it that much, but I would at least check that.
Hi there,
Make sure your SVG path shape is closed, so that you can fill it with a color. To close an SVG path, use the letter Z at the end of the path.
I hope this would help.
