I run into these problems sometimes, but as yet had not really devised any good ways around them. That snap-to-grid thing will come in handy. This was a great post, Matt!

I too have come across this phenomenon and find myself spending hours figuring it out. Some of what you mentioned I've tried, though the contrast bit I had not thought of. Thanks for pointing that out. *smiles* Also thank you for the reminder that it doesn't have to be absolutely perfect. I find myself spending hours on graphics when it doesn't take me that long to create a graphic, the perfectionist in me comes out in spades in web and graphic design. Tina DesignNewbie Admin Matt,

You can get frustratingly close-but-not-quite-there and before you know it, the day is gone. :-( Nice idea for your website (DesignNewbie), I look forward to seeing it as you add more content there.

It would appear this is a glitch in the PDF export libraries, since Xfig manages to create perfect bitmaps - well, its design model is simpler than Inkscape, that may also be the case. Since I embed my diagrams later in LaTeX documents, I save the Inkscape doc as pdf and the result is quite good. Hi Matt,

Your solution is good, but this has something that's always bugged me in Inkscape -- that it requires so much manual intervention just to get a sharp-looking line. Especially when you've got more than a few objects in your design with straight lines. As a result, I've created an Inkscape plugin to solve this problem much more conveniently. You can have a look and download it here: [http://code.google.com/p/pixelsnap/]() Hi,
