Make Page Tileable clones all objects that straddle an edge of the page to make the page as a whole tileable. This can be useful for making background patterns for webpages, textures for games and raytraced scenes, tiling patterns for autostereograms, and other places where seamless repetition is desired. To run the extension, simply select Extensions → Page → Make Page Tileable. If no objects are selected then all objects on the page will be cloned. Otherwise, only the selected objects will be cloned. Each set of clones is placed in a group so their positions can be adjusted in unison.
A tutorial for beginners, teaching how to use clones to draw unique snowflakes, which are perfectly symmetrical. The tutorial is copyrighted, but the snowflake image (sf1.png) is CC-BY-NC-SA. https://forum.inkscapecommunity.com/index.php?action=articles;sa=view;article=27
This script create a circle of clones around each selected element, using --ray as the distance of the object center to the clone center. Each clone is rotated (360/--num-clones), making all bottom sides to point to the center. Now support "ray length unity".
This is an Inkscape extension that clones an object. It makes multiple clones that shrink toward a vanishing point, necessary for a perspective drawing.
