[Gmsh] Gmsh and Inkscape

[Mengda Wu]

Hi Jose,

   Thank you so much for help.

   Following your steps, I was able to load the shape into Gmsh. That's
great! But when I I try to mesh, it
did not generate 2D triangulation. What I did is just click the "2D" button
in Mesh. I attach a screenshot
for what I got. I am quite new to Gmsh. Are there other steps I need to
mesh?

Sincerely,
Mengda
