I have the image shown above where the black colored stroke is the outline of the cloud. I also have a slightly offsetted blue color fill. What should I do to put the blue color fill inside the outline (along with the whitespace)? I tried using the clip option, but it wasn't helpful.
The above picture shows how I would want it. As you can see, the whitespace is still there, but the fill lies inside the stroke.
Answer
Assuming that you are starting from two paths, one filled in cyan without stroke paint and the other with a black stroke and without fill; and assuming that the filled path is at the bottom, we have a similar situation:
You have to perform a few simple steps:
- Select and duplicate the path with the black stroke while pressing Ctrl-D
- Maintaining selected the duplicate, hold Shift key, select the path with the cyan fill and obtain an intersection pressing Ctrl+*
You can tweak a little the cloud:
You can obtain a similar effect (although not flat) starting from a path with border and fill and using Filters->Bevels->Combined lighting or other analogous filter:
