Bobbin lace: grids and patterns
jo.pol
A collection of plug-ins primarily intended for designers of bobbin lace patterns. The plug-ins draw various types of printable grids of dots or pair diagrams. For non lace makers: pair diagrams are two-in-two-out digraphs. Some tools have a BSD license, others a GPLv3. An older release of the plugins (for a pre 1.0 version of InkScape) has a 5th plug-in, it complements an interactive online tool. This tool is replaced by GroundForge on https://d-bl.github.io/ The tool generates thread diagrams from pair diagrams. The new tool groups the segments of a line and doesn't need the 5th plugin any more.

Inkporter
Rania Amina
An extension that will help you to export your object in your SVG file to several formats (SVG, JPG, PDF, Multiple PDF Page, WEBP, and EPS) by its ID. If you're a book creator, icon designer, seller in a marketplace, web designer, this extension will help you with your task. This extension is also available as a CLI version (https://inkporter.raniaamina.id). How does Inkporter work? The simple explanation is that Inkporter will read ID patterns (i.e icon-1, icon-2, icon-3, etc) that you've set and then export them to the file format you need. Inkporter allows you to feel like you're working with artboard-like or multiple pages in Inkscape. How do you use Inkporter? Just copy and paste the Inkporter directory, inkporter.inx and inkporter.py to the Inkscape extension directory. If the installation is correct, you will find Inkporter menu in Extensions -> Export -> Inkporter. For a complete guide and the dependencies needed, please refer to the README.md file. If you need better performance of this tool, we provide Citramanik (https://citramanik.dev-is.my.id) the next generation of Inkporter. --- Reviewed by Martin Owens on May 12 2021 4:55 PM pytest coverage: 0% pylint score: 5.75/10 Tested on Inkscape 1.1, packaging issues. --- Curated by Martin Owens on May 25 2021 1:37 PM --- Curated by Martin Owens on May 25 2021 2:41 PM

Inkscape Axonometric Projections 4.0
Jeroen Hoek
This Inkscape extension transforms objects drawn on a two-dimensional plane to an isometric projection — or even any other dimetric or trimetric projection. Inkscape provides an axonometric grid that by default is configured for the isometric projection (i.e., the three axes are set at 120° angles). Drawing with this grid works quite well for simple shapes, but sometimes it is easier to draw the details of an object using a two-dimensional grid, and then scale, shear, and rotate the object to set it on an isometric plane. For more information, see: https://github.com/jdhoek/inkscape-isometric-projection For users of Inkscape versions older than 1.0-beta2, please use version 1.2 of this extension: https://github.com/jdhoek/inkscape-isometric-projection/releases/tag/v1.2 If you find a bug, please report it here: https://github.com/jdhoek/inkscape-isometric-projection/issues

Pixels to Objects
Scott Pakin
Select a bitmap and one or more other objects, and run Extensions → Raster → Pixels to Objects…. The extension will place one copy of an object at each pixel coordinate. For example, a 32×32 image will lead to objects being placed at coordinates (0, 0) through (31, 31). Options enable objects to have their stroke and/or fill color adjusted to match the corresponding image pixel; background-colored pixels to be either considered or ignored; image coordinates to be scaled up or down; and multiple objects to be assigned to coordinates either randomly or deterministically. For instance, in the banner image above, a 16×16 bitmap was selected along with four path objects of size at most 18×18. In the dialog box, "Apply color to stroke" and "Ignore background pixels" were checked. "Image coordinate scaling" was set to 18 to prevent the path objects from overlapping. And "Instantiation of multiple objects" was set to "By image coordinates" to cycle evenly through all four path objects.

Simple Inkscape Scripting
Scott Pakin
Simple Inkscape Scripting makes it easy to automate repetitive drawing tasks. It defines a simple set of Python functions such as "rect" to draw a rectangle and "line" to draw a line. For example, the one-line program "for r in range(7, 0, -1): circle((100, 100), 10*r, fill=['white','red'][r%2])" is all it takes to draw a bullseye. Invoking the extension (Extensions → Render → Simple Inkscape Scripting…) brings up a dialog box that lets you load a Python script from a file or enter Python code directly in a text box. Shapes produced by the script appear directly on the canvas and can be edited just like any other shape. See https://github.com/spakin/SimpInkScr for details and examples.

Make Page Tileable
Scott Pakin
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.

Customise User Interface
Mr. Raven
This extension allows you to show or hide menu items and toolbar buttons in Inkscape. The purpose of this is to: - Hide user interface elements you don't want to see. - Make the interface simpler for educational purposes. - Tailor Inkscape towards a specialised working enviroment. I welcome comments, ideas, suggestions, bug reports. If you use it, please write something at the bottom of this page. Installation. Download the .zip file. Installation instructions and a manual are in the file "custui_Readme.html", which is included in the zip file. I will also submit this extension for review so it may become available in the extensions manager. Inkscape 1.0 on Windows misses a "HarfBuzz" library that is needed. If you use Inkscape 1.0 on Windows, you need to install the HarfBuzz library manually. Instructions are in the Readme file. Many thanks for testing and also advice and ideas: @Kirstie, @DoctorMo and @Adam.Belis Changes for version 0.3: - Change the interface too look a bit better - Add function to restore default settings - Make some more items in View menu immutable for Inkscape 1.1

Ids to text elements
whidev
A simple Inkscape extension that lets you extract attributes (like id) from all selected paths, and show them as <text> elements inside the paths. Useful for when you want to have all paths' id shown on the SVG document as <text> nodes. You can also use it for other path attributes, like `label`, `fill`, `stroke`, `width`, `height`. Available under the Extensions > Text submenu. Check the extension's repo on GitHub for examples. Options for styling and formatting the text: Font size in pixels Color (the fill color of the <text> elements) Font (should be installed on the system) Font Weight (should be supported by the selected font) Angle (controls the rotation of the generated <text> elements, in degrees) Options for further editing the extracted text (only used with id and label attributes): Text to replace (a simple replace function to remove characters you may not want from the text) Match Regular Expression (matches the extracted text of each path to a regular expression and uses the result on the path, e.g. if the id is `Province_055` and this field `\d+`, the text on the path will be just `055`) Capitalize (capitalize all text) Group paths with the generated text elements (if checked, also group the path with its text label) Note: only works on <path> elements. If you have a <circle>, <rectangle>, <text>, etc., first use Object > Object to Path to convert it. For Inkscape v0.92 and before, you should check the extension's repository on GitHub.

Inkscape extension for creating generative art. The scope of this extension has been kept very minimal. It simply takes the selected object(s) and creates the specified number of copies of it. Each new copy will have a cumulative transformation applied to it where each transformation consists of - a rotation around 0,0 (top left of the canvas), - a shift in x and y, and - a scale operation in x and y. The rotation and shift operation can be done either lineraly (the same amount for every copy) or by a sinusidal factor (oscillating for each copy).

Imaseq Helper
Croben
WHAT IS IMASEQ HELPER? Imaseq Helper is a free and open-source extension for Inkscape 1.0, released under the GPL version 3 license. This extension allows you to export PNG images by visibility or layers. You can also choose to make the extension duplicate a layer base on a setting, which is a common task when making a frame by frame animation. FEATURES • Export PNG image(s) to a fixed directory. • Export images using the layer name as a file name. • Batch export of rectangles or layers with incremented naming option. • Duplicate layers with incremented name and opacity of your choice. VIDEO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYXFYsGfj7U HOW IT WORKS? To make the extension work, you will have to create a layer that has a “rectangle object” in it. And it has to be a rectangle object, not a circle or rectangle path. This rectangle object will serve as a selection export area. Everything visible within the bounds of the rectangle will be exported as a PNG image. INSTALLATION 1. You must have Inkscape 1.0 installed. 2. Close Inkscape if it is open. 3. Copy or move the imaseq_helper.inx and imaseq_helper.py into Inkscape extension folder. • On Mac and Linux it is in ~/.config/inkscape/extensions. • On Windows it is in C:\Program Files\Inkscape\share\inkscape\extensions. 4. Launch Inkscape. If you install it correctly, you should see “Imaseq Helper” on “Export” sub-menu under the “Extensions” menu. HOW TO USE? 1. Select an “Export Mode” • None – The extension will not export anything. • Visible – Everything visible within the rectangle object gets exported as a single PNG image. • All Layers – Every layer except for the bounds and sub-layers will get exported individually. 2. Set a “Bounds Layer” • Create a new layer, name it, then type the name on the input field. • Add a “rectangle object” and make sure it’s big enough and position it to capture the target view. 3. Give it a “File Name” • You can choose to input a file name or leave it blank to use the layer name. 4. Choose a “Directory” • Set a folder where exported images will be saved. 5. To “Overwrite” or not • If not checked existing file will not be overwritten unless the “Export Mode” is “All Layers” 6. Set image “DPI” • To determine the desired DPI select the “rectangle object,” open export window (Shift+Ctrl+E), go to the "Selection" tab, in the "Image size" section, you can see the DPI. • If you want to export using the dimensions of the rectangle object, you can set the DPI to a number lower than one like zero. 7. To “Duplicate Layer” or not • On the “Layer Settings” tab, you can set to duplicate the selected layer if the “Export Mode” is “Visible” or “None” 8. Set “Layer Opacity” • This slider will determine the opacity of the duplicated layer. FRIENDLY TIPS 1. Using “Multiple” Rectangle Objects • Will not guarantee correct file name order, because the rectangles may get exported randomly. In this case, consider moving the target images to its own layer and use “All Layers” as the export mode. 2. Setting Export Mode To “All Layers” • This mode produces temporary files equal to or more than the number of layers to be exported. Therefore, you are advised to clean these temporary at your convenience. • Setting a file name will not guarantee correct naming order, because layers may get exported randomly. So it is best to leave the file name blank and use the layer name instead. 3. Fixed Background For All Exports • If you have a background on a separate layer and want it to be visible on every export. You can make the background layer a child of the bounds layer. Just make sure you set the alpha or opacity of the rectangle object to zero. 4. Child Layers Are Not Exported Individually • If you have a group of layers, only the parent layer is exported. But if the child layers are visible, then they too will be captured on the exported image. 5. Export Using The Dimensions Of The Rectangle Object • If you set the DPI to zero, the dimension of the rectangle object will be used as the dimension of the image. But keep in mind that if the dimension in “pixels” is not a “whole number,” it will be rounded to the nearest one. Example 24.1 pixels will be 24 pixels, 99.5 pixels will be 100 pixels, etc. GITHUB PAGE https://github.com/crobengames/Imaseq-Helper

Horizontal Lines Effect (hlines)
Sue Zakar
Inkscape extension for "unwinding" paths For each selected path element consisting of straight segments, this extension creates an additional path element consisting of horizontal line segments which are the same size as the original line segments. Installing: Copy hlines.inx and hlines.py into your Inkscape user extensions directory. Where is that? Open Inkscape and go to the System section of the Preferences menu (Edit --> Preferences --> System). You will find a User extensions item containing the path to your user extensions directory. NOTE: As of this time, this extension works under Inkscape 1.0, but not the 1.1 release candidate. However, it will work on 1.1 (and above) by commenting out line 45 of hlines.py and uncommenting line 46. Update: 06/24/2021 new version handles transforms better

Luthier Fret Ruler
Neon22
An Inkscape extension that draws full sized Fretboards for stringed instruments. Guitar, Ukulele, Banjo, Dulcimer, etc Appears in Extensions menu under Music. Will draw a fret ruler in three useful ways: 1. Ruler - ideal as a Lasercut metal rule or paper printout, 2. Template - to be used as a guide in a router or table saw, - e.g. https://youtu.be/0niBEfb5csk?t=95 3. Full neck to be printed and glued onto the neckstock for accurate sawing and marking. Includes fret marker placement and tapered necks. Scales: The fretboard can be drawn with a single scale or in a fanned format with two scales, on the bass and treble sides of the fretboard. The methods for constructing scales are: - 12th root of 2 - ratios of 17.817, 17.835, or 18 - scala files. Also draws a curved arc template for curved fretboards. This is in two styles: 1. Block - to be extruded into a sanding block or neck support. Possibly using the Inkscape to openscad extension to export to an STL for 3D printing. or: 2. Thin finger-like tabs to set the correct heights of strings at the saddle. Be sure to unzip the scales zip enclosed into the same directory. It will create a scales folder with 4580 interesting .scl (scala) files to choose from. There is a special tab in the extension for finding useful scales in this enormous resource. Works in Inkscape 1.0 - 1.3
