Wrap of transparent PNGs

[marce]

Hi! Is there a way to wrap around an image with transparency? Normally in layout programs, transparency is used as empty space, and text use it for flowing around the image. But i see that in VS the image is squared, and transparency not used. I screenshot a transparent png and a svg, when you can see the difference in wrapping

@marce No such option in VectorStyler. You need to draw a clipping path for now.

Hi! I cant find how to make a clipping path in the manual, im not sure if you are refering to a line manually draw as contour or something else.

Draw any shape, and drop the image inside the shape in the Layers panel.
The Node tool can be used to keep editing these shapes

Here a Video

you could cut a shape (Ctrl+x) and put it per "Paste Inside"
into another shape

or like vectorstyler mentioned select a shape in the layer Panel
and drop it onto another shape in the Layer panel

the video show both ways

to enter a clipping shape, if you like to edit the content
double click at that clipping shape

to leave that editing state double click anywhere
outside of the clipping shape

Thanks VS and Subpath! Great thing the drag and drop inside a draw shape! Nice. Would be nice for bitmaps with transparency to have the option to extract automatically the contour for wrapping purposes.
