Hi all,

I'm looking for a "simple" way to build my sketch using parameters, like:

• radius of a circle
• coordinates of a nodes
• ...

There is an extension that propose a workaround, https://gitlab.com/mnesarco/inkscape-pyscript . That's great, but I personally don't find it very intuitive to use.

Do you know if Inkscape offers other solutions for building sketches with parameters.

Many thanks !

There was a new extension posted to inkscape.org by Scott Pakin, might be what you are looking for:

https://inkscape.org/~pakin/%E2%98%85simple-inkscape-scripting

Seems to work quite well :)

circle([15,25],10)
circle([15,25],3)
polyline((15,25),(60,75),(75,22))
circle([75,22],3)
circle([75,22],5)
circle([75,22],7)
circle([75,22],9)
circle([75,22],22)
polyline((60,75),(60,100),(45,120),(30,110))
polyline((60,100),(65,120),(85,100))
line((60,75),(120,25))
circle([120,25],10)
circle([120,25],3)

Many thanks @inklinea, I was not aware of this extension. It looks like that's indeed what I was looking for.

You've made my day, thanks ! 👍

Simple Inkscape Scripting is now at version 2.1

The code example has to be updated to:

circle([15,25],10)
circle([15,25],3)
polyline([(15,25),(60,75),(75,22)])
circle([75,22],3)
circle([75,22],5)
circle([75,22],7)
circle([75,22],9)
circle([75,22],22)
polyline([(60,75),(60,100),(45,120),(30,110)])
polyline([(60,100),(65,120),(85,100)])
line((60,75),(120,25))
circle([120,25],10)
circle([120,25],3)
