On Linux or other Unices, no problem : Perl is always available and just adding a few modules to the standard core installations is sufficient (XML::LibXML and Local::gettext as I also made support for I18n). So I decided to write my own tools to get my extension working with Perl and now it does work flawlessly.Īs I've always been an OpenSource enthusiastic, I logically want to share my work with others. Of course, I wrote it in Perl as Inkscape allows using various scripting languages for it, but their preferences go clearly to Python : every docs and canevas for extensions are written for and in Python.
It's sometimes tedious so, as Inkscape allows it, I decided to write a dedicated extension for it to do that. Since a few years I started doing paper folding artwork also known as 'Origami' ((折り紙 or おりがみ) and I use a very popular OpenSource vector-drawing software called Inkscape for drawing Origami diagrams.ĭiagramming Origami require somes very specific tools for drawing, to solve geometric problems to find where a crease will fall, following the axiomatic of Origami. I'm a newbie at the monastery but not a perl newbie : I started using perl with version 4, beginning of the 90's. You must have installed in the same folder as for this long first post, I just want to explain as clearly as possible what I'm attempting to do. Special thanks to Lazur URH and BetaTestingPro. Note: sadly, I have no available platform other than Windows to which I could compile this extension. Resultant images (after using the extension):Ī copy of the original SVG file is also generated. They are there just for marking weither what's a group and what's an object. I'm showing a sample SVG printed image and the resultant files on the respective folder. There's a help file included for further information. inx files to inkscape/share/extensions/ and when you initialize/reinitialize inkscape there should be a new sub-tab on the Extensions menu called "Multiple Export". The purpose of this extension is to allow one to select multiple objects/groups and then export those to their own PNG files in just some few clicks. I'm glad to announce that my extension for Inkscape is done.
