Is there an easy way to have Processing save only what is inside of the canvas? import processing.svg. For now, lets simply publish our artwork with pretty standard settings. Its pretty straightforward, but there are a ton of cool tricks in this thing. I can't promise it will work in all cases, but it might work for you. Step 1 Well be getting to know Export Bitmap very well ( File > Export Bitmap ). (Shift+LMB on eye-icon of top layer) Print. ( Ctrl+Shift+Home) Select all in all layers. If I save this SVG by pressing “e” and open it in Inkscape, I get the bounding box with an intersecting line that starts at (-50,0). Escape key (works around bug in next operation) Move the new layer to top. Step 3 - Press Shift Key and draw a circle using the Elliptical Marquee Tool on the image. Step 2 - Select the Elliptical Marquee Tool from the toolbar on the left-hand side.

I am using simplified code for this example here using one line (but in the files I have problems with it is hundreds of lines), but basically if I tell the program to draw a line (or ellipse or whatever) that has coordinates outside of the designated canvas size (any negative x- or y-value), it still draws and exports all that is outside. Step 1 - Open the image you want to crop into a circle. I have figured out my best workflow in terms of saving SVGs but just hit a snag. Now select rectangle and the group, and go to Object > Clip > Set. Create a rectangle that covers the page, use snapping to page corners if it's there in your version, otherwise adjust the width, height and position using boxes on Selector toolbar for example. I am just learning Processing to make files for the Axidraw. Group everything inside the page, or just the objects protruding out.
