In this tutorial we'll be going over how to convert vector objects to raster (or pixel-based) images using Inkscape. This is accomplished using a simple command ("Make A Bitmap Copy"), but more importantly, we'll be going over why you would want to do such a thing and checking out an example of when it would be useful.
