You can mirror an image vertically or horizontally, which reframes the perspective.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Is your reflection in the mirror reversed?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Mirrors don&#8217;t actually reverse anything. &#8230; The image of everything in front of the mirror is reflected backward, retracing the path it traveled to get there. Nothing is switching left to right or up-down. Instead, it&#8217;s being inverted front to back.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I make a gradient in Inkscape?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>The Gradient Tool can be activated in the tool bar.

Inkscape stores the original path data in the Inkscape Name Space so that it can be modified at a later time (it will not be displayed by other SVG renderers). If the original path is modified, the LPE will be regenerated.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I make a background transparent in Inkscape?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open File \u2192 Document Properties and click the Background colour option.
