How do I put a bitmap image inside a figure
I would like like to put a bitmap image inside a figure, and then get rid of all of the image that remains outside the figure. Can I do this with Inkscape?
One possible use of this would be to design a coaster for a drinking glass. I would draw a circle that is the same size as the coaster that I want to make. Then I would put a bitmapped image inside the circle, and possibly play with the magnification and placement of that image. Then I would get rid of everthing in the image that remains outside of the circle, and save the file.
The saved file could then be used to engrave the image onto a coaster with either a laser or a CNC mill. It could also be used to sublimate a color image onto a coaster.
Can this be done in Inkscape? If so, how?
Thanks for your help.
