I am Creating a Guilloche Tutorial for Inkscape. A Rosette consists of multiple Sin Functions plotted in polar coordinates, each incremented slightly out of phase (rotated). e.g. [sin(x+0.0)], [sin(x+0.1)], [sin(x+0.2)], [sin(x+0.3)], ...
I can plot each (120) individually. This is tedious. Is there a way to enter all of the iterations in the "Function" box with separators so that they are plotted in one go? e.g. [sin(x+0.0); sin(x+0.1); sin(x+0.2; sin(x+0.3); ...]
or maybe there is a way to invoke Inkscape on the command line with many function parameters for the plotter??
I don't think that extension supports multiple entries.
I could be done by editing the python extension or writing another extension to call the function plotter.
The command line as far as I know, does not accept parameters for verbs ( extensions and filters act as verbs ).
It is quite possible to achieve what you want using the command line, but it is very hacky ( by updating inkscape preferences.xml in the loop to adjust the stored parameters for that function just before Inkscape command line is called. )
Unless you are happy to do that kind of hacking in Linux, it probably isn't worth it. Certainly not something a normal user of Inkscape would be able to work with.
Is it something you just want to do as a one off ?
If you are happy to post a long list of the functions, an svg with the correct size rectangle or square and a screenshot of the settings you have in the function plotter. I can try to run on my Linux machine.
