: Convert region between ellipses to bezier path In an Inkscape file I got from somebody I found the following: On the right there are arcs of ellipses (not paths), and on the left there are
In an Inkscape file I got from somebody I found the following:
On the right there are arcs of ellipses (not paths), and on the left there are 4-node bezier paths each perfectly corresponding to the inside of the set of four ellipses next to it.
I have been trying to do the same: I create four arcs of ellipses and try to convert the inside region to a single path. Given the above examples I guess there must be a very quick way to do it, but I can't figure it out.

A very fast method to get an object of an inner area of several overlapping objects is the bucket fill tool..
This is how it works:
Draw overlapping objects:
Apply Bucket Fill:
Move new object from bucket-fill or apply custom stroke and fill:
You can do it in the following steps:
Make full ellipses (e.g. 3 ellipses)
Take the complement for the green and red ellipses (Ctrl -). It will automatically produce a path.
Break apart the result and delete the bottom part if you don't need it (Ctrl Shift K).
Take the union (Ctrl *)
