I have got a path that encloses small areas within it. I would like to fill each small square below with some color using the bucket fill tool in Inkscape.

However, it always tells me the "area is not bounded" and I can't figure out how to fix that.

You could duplicate the figure (for security) and then use in the path menu, third section, second command. I'm using a german version, where it is zerlegen, from the comments I was informed it is break apart as english entry, hotkey Shift-Ctrl-K.

Then you should be able to select a color for the inner parts.

    Yes, that works! Thank you. It's called "break apart" and then you've got each of the inner squares as separate object then you can then color.

  • ALSO: Make sure your Threshold value for the Bucket Fill is set to like 5. I had it at 100 and I think it was trying to fill the entire canvas (unbounded).
