I have 2 black separated areas:

Actually the 2 black areas have a different shape and are separated by white line of constant stroke width (shown in red here):

When I put this fiuigure over a different background (not white, with text), the white line becomes visible:



PS a workaround was to retrace exported bitmap, with this result:




I would like to convert these 3 paths to 2 black-filled areas of which boundaries are the same as visible boundaries on the first picture. In raster graphics, this would be called "flattening", I don't know the right word for vectors.

Thanks!

Select your black objects.
Path → Combine.
Select your line.
Path → Stroke to Path.
Make sure that your path is above your black objects (Object → Raise to Top).
Select your path and your black objects.
Path → Difference.
If desired, Path → Break Apart.
