A very simple question

Hello everyone,

I have been working on a project recently that will require an animation sequence. I have gotten the hang of every technique in Synfig to make my idea a reality, except for one.

I am looking to merge the two circles together so that the circumferences of each overlap each other. How could I go about making this happen?

Thank you for your time!

Make the white outline double thick and stack layers like this:

Circle 1
Circle 2
Outline 1
Outline 2

So when they overlap the circles are merged but the outlines are always below.

Thank you for the fast response! But I think I used the wrong term, sorry
I meant to merge the two edges. Pretty much exactly like this Link

I really hope this is possible.

Hi!
Something like this maybe? When you move the purple circle over the blue one then the overlapping part changes color, creating the fishbladder.

Stack them like this then:
Outline 1
Outline 2
Circle 1

That’s exactly what I was looking to do. I did some research on the Spline tool and how to make Outlines, but I can’t seem to work it out. How exactly did you get the circle outline for both circles the way you did?

Thanks !!
