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.

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

Imagetracer.js for Inkscape
Mario Voigt
This extension is an InkScape wrapper for https://github.com/jankovicsandras/imagetracerjs. It utilized a standalone node.js executable to run the JavaScript code. It will be fed with embedded or linked images within InkScape. The big difference between this tracer and all other tracers in recent InkScape is the fact that it is capable of splitting an image into it's "isles". The regular tracers separate by colors but not by objects. That makes it hard to work with sometimes. Imagetracer.js will vectorize your beautiful image into a more beautiful SVG trace with separated infills (break apart into single surfaces like a puzzle), that means you get a lot of single areas. works for Linux and Windows

Line Animator (draw by invisible hand)
Maren Hachmann
Create simple, line-drawing animations for the web from selected paths. When you look at the file that you've applied the extension to using a web browser, it will look as if someone were drawing the paths with an invisible pen. Notes: * Find the extension as `Extensions > Animation > Line Animator` * **Only path objects** can be used for this. * **No path effects** should be applied to the paths (something may happen, but perhaps not what you expect). * The paths must have **a visible stroke** (else you won't see anything happen). * The object **lowest in stacking order** will be drawn **first**, then the one above it etc. * Animation speed can be changed by using the same animation name and selecting the same objects, then setting a different duration. * If you are animating a path consisting of **multiple subpaths**, all of them will start to be animated **at the same time**, but the shorter ones will finish first. * If you want to **change the direction** in which a path is drawn, change the path direction in Inkscape (`Path > Reverse`). Examples -------- See https://gitlab.com/Moini/ink_line_animator/-/blob/master/README.md Installation ------------ Drop the files `line-animator.py` and `line-animator.inx` into your user extensions directory. Learn where to find the directory in Inkscape: `Edit > Preferences > System > User extensions`. License ------- This software is licensed under the GPL v2.0 or higher. Note ---- Due to a bug in Inkscape (https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/-/issues/9327), Inkscape 1.3 instantly crashes when you open the Selectors and CSS dialog. So don't do that!

Boolean operations for multiple objects at once - difference, union, intersection, exclusion, division or cut. The extension is a rewrite of the Multi-Bool extension, and offers many adjustable settings and improvements. It takes a selection of one or more groups, or of several elements (paths, shapes, text), or a mix of both, and applies a chosen path operation with the top-most valid object in paint order and each other valid object which is part of the selection (directly or as member of a processed group) that is lower in Z-order.

RealScale (resize by line of known length)
Maren Hachmann
Quickly resize (architectural) drawings by indicating a line and its length in real world units. Optionally scale the drawing with a specific scale factor and draw a scale rule. Version 1.2, Inkscape extension for Inkscape 1.2 and higher. Download most current version from here: https://gitlab.com/Moini/inkscape-realscale-extension/-/archive/master/inkscape-realscale-extension-master.zip Installation: Copy the files realscale.py and realscale.inx into the directory indicated in Edit -> Preferences -> System: User extensions Usage: • Import an architectural drawing / floor plan / map /... into Inkscape or open a file containing one. Make sure it is a single object (group it, if necessary). • Draw a straight line that connects two points in that drawing of which you know the distance in real life (for example, if you know how long a wall of your house in the drawing is, draw the line from one end of the wall to the other). • Select the line, then add the drawing to the selection. • Open the extension dialog: Extensions -> Scaling -> RealScale... • Enter the length of the line you just drew, as it is in the real world (for example, if your house wall is 10.5 m long, enter 10.50. • Select the unit you used (for your 10.50 m house, select m; for your 10 cm cardboard box, select cm) • If you intend to print the drawing, and the original object is bigger than the sheet, consider using a scale factor. • To do so, first select if you want to use a metric scale factor (based on mulitples of 5) or an imperial one (based on multiples of 2) or if you would like to enter your own scale factor. • Then, in the corresponding dropdown, or in the number entry field, select or enter the scale you would like to use. The dropdowns only offer scale factors for downscaling. In the 'Custom' field, however, you can also enter values smaller than 1 to upscale a drawing. • If you would like the scale rule to be drawn on the page, check the option 'Generate Scale Rule'. • Now choose the number of units the scale rule will comprise. Those will be doubled in the generated scale rule - e.g. it will show 10 cm to the left of the scale rule center (labelled 0) and 10 cm to its right. • Apply!

Apollonian Master
macbuse
Extension to make Apollonian gaskets. Tested Inkscape 0.91. An Apollonian gasket can be constructed as follows. Start with three circles C1, C2 and C3, each one of which is tangent to the other two (in the general construction, these three circles can be any size, as long as they have common tangents). Apollonius discovered that there are two other non-intersecting circles, C4 and C5, which have the property that they are tangent to all three of the original circles – these are called Apollonian circles. Adding the two Apollonian circles to the original three, we now have five circles. Take one of the two Apollonian circles – say C4. It is tangent to C1 and C2, so the triplet of circles C4, C1 and C2 has its own two Apollonian circles. We already know one of these – it is C3 – but the other is a new circle C6. In a similar way we can construct another new circle C7 that is tangent to C4, C2 and C3, and another circle C8 from C4, C3 and C1. This gives us 3 new circles. We can construct another three new circles from C5, giving six new circles altogether. Together with the circles C1 to C5, this gives a total of 11 circles. Continuing the construction stage by stage in this way ad infinituum one obtains a set of circles which is an Apollonian gasket. Source: Wikipedia

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.

Contour Scanner And Trimmer
Mario Voigt
This tool helps you to find nasty contours which might bug you and prevent your work from being ready for production. It will find open contours, closed contours and self-intersecting contours. Self-intersecting contours can be closed or open contours so you can select this option additionally! Bentley-Ottmann algorithm is used to check for those intersections. The algorithm works with the accuracy of the selected paths (epsilons). Self-intersections usually happen if you just have large overlaps where the contour crosses itself like an 'eight' character for example. Using the highlighting it's easy to find contours with unproper path handles. While in a CAD system an area of of a surface can only be calculated if the contour is closed and clean, finding self intersections in InkScape is not required to do so. SVG format allows to calculate areas on open contours and self-twisted curves. This "artwork behaviour" makes it harder for handling machinery-like drawings for laser cutting, vinyl cutting or whatever. That's why we need to have extra sanity checks but we also have the great freedom of Inkscape. Finding self-intersecting contours does only work for curves with straight line segments (polylines) because it just calculates with a set of given XY points. It does not respect bezier curve segments. Bezier curves have no regular points but special handles, which define the slope of the curve per handle side (left and right). To properly handle a bezier curve we need to split the bezier curve in a lot of small linear segments (acting like infinitessimal solution). We can use the tool "Flatten Bezier to do this (will make your curve looking edgy or ugly possible). If you want to leave the shape of the line clean (bezier type, no edgy approximation) we can use Split Bezier (Subdivide) or Add Nodes instead. But remember that your calculated self-intersection points will only be an approximation then. The higher the subdivide count is the higher the precision of the calculated self-intersecting points coordinates will be.

This extension lets the user join SVG paths. After installing, it would appear under Extensions->Modify Path menu. Select the paths that are to be joined and invoke the 'Join Paths' menu option. If the ending nodes of the paths to be joined don't coincide, an extra segment is created; if they do they are merged. Quick Introduction: https://youtu.be/mC7rtjkT4kc Update (Apr 10, 2019) I have uploaded a variant of this extension on github. This will join the paths based on distances. Do let me know if you come across performance or other issues. Video: https://youtu.be/3-cVmrlBRAI Update (June 26, 2024) This extension is rewritten using the latest inkex APIs. Also added options to determine path order based on selection, z-order and distance along with a few other options. Do check it out and open issue on GitHub if you come across any problem.

Transparentify
schulzki
Adds transparency to the selected elements, while keeping the original color value. The color is calculated with respect to a background color, so that the element will have it's original color when overlaying the background. The background is white by default, but might be set to any other color. If the amount of transparency ist set to high, the rgb channels might exceed the possible value range of 0 -255. In this case, the highest possible transparency is applied. Alternatively, you can check the "force transparency" option, which will adjust the color to allow the desired transparency. The extension is available under extensions/color. It applies to stroke and fill and also works on gradients and elements, which already have an transparency set. Transparentify is available for inkscape v.1.x. --- Curated by Martin Owens on May 12 2022 3:39 PM

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

Duplicate, reverse and join to create stickfont
Ellen Wasbø
With using a sketch pen with my plotter, I prefer the true single line SVG fonts that draw the lines only once. But – as these true single line fonts cannot be installed and be used as regular outline fonts I would like to offer my single line fonts as stick fonts too. A stick font is an outline font with zero with so that the letters will be traced twice. I wrote an Inkscape extension to effectively converting a single line SVG font to a TTF stick font. Visit the link to the right (my blog) to learn how to. NB! The extension uses the reverse function which was not implemented correctly in Inkscape v1.0.1 so you will need to update the paths.py. Read howto in the link.

Remove Empty Groups
Mario Voigt
This extension is totally minimal. It will just clean the whole document from groups without content (dangling groups). That usually happens if you have a group but remove it's paths for example. The group will possibly stay in the XML tree. This also applies for layers because layers are just special types of groups.

Render Gear Pair
Abhijit Karnik
This extension extends the existing 'Extensions>Render>Gear>Gear' and renders a pair of gears based on the settings selected. This is aimed to help render pairs of gears which will be laser-cut. The extension can render gear pairs based on the distance between the shaft centers (D), or a fixed circular pitch (CP) for a fixed number of teeth on each gear. It can also render a gear pair using a combination of D, CP and gear ratio (GR) to generate a 'best-fit' tooth count. The modified parameter is added as text for future reference.

Slic3r STL Input
Mario Voigt
STL Sliced Import (by Slic3r). Supports OBJ/OFF/PLY/STL as input file formats. How it works: - projects an STL file on the X-Y plane by cutting the objects into "slices" - each "slice" is a group of polygons, with a label indicating its z position - the polygons are converted to paths for better editing in inkscape - use Object → Rows & Columns → distribute the slices in a grid Warning: Requires Slicer 1.3.1-dev (the really latest build possible) docs: https://stadtfabrikanten.org/display/IFM/Slic3r+STL+Input based on stl input extension of Jürgen Weigert.

CardCarton rev.1
Andrew Sinclair
This Inkscape extension draws carton containers intended for plotter or dieline cutting and creasing. This is release one; thus, it is a proof of concept that developed while exploring the potential of Inkscape's extensions framework. In this version, under Job Settings --> General --> Drawing Diagnostic, I have implemented an experiment titled. "Closure." This allows one to see what the clip lock lid design would look like when assembled as opposed to being flat. I later intend to use this same feature to tidy up the trash-lock base, to make sure it holds together when assembled. Then it will be a real crash-lock, not a quick and dirty imitation trash-lock.

Tabgen 3D Papercraft Extension
Sue Zakar
Tabgen Papercraft Extension for Inkscape 1.1 by Obzerving Use the tabgen extension to add tabs on pieces for assembling papercraft projects. Please read the important setup info below. After installing, it is available under Extensions->Papercraft->Tabgen Using it is very simple and straightforward. Select the path that you want to put tabs on. Run the extension. It will generate a new piece with tabs along the outside edge, and/or any enclosed path (i.e. along the inside of cutouts.) The tabs have scorelines. The path MUST contain only straight segments, as tabs cannot be generated on curves. Every segment will create a tab, so eliminate stray nodes. New version allows for selective tab placement. Options/Parameters The angle of the tab is the angle used at the edges of the tab. The height of the tab is how far away from the path the tab extends. The length of the dashline is how large any one cuts making up the score line is. Making this number too large may result in missing score marks. If zero is used, the score line will be solid, and will not be part of the path, but will be a separate path grouped with it. The choice for tab placement are outside, inside and both. This affects whether tabs are placed along the outer path, inner paths (holes), or both. Dimension units are the units in which you specify your setting for height and length. Keep this consistent with your document parameters.

Paperfold
Mario Voigt
Paperfold is another flattener for triangle mesh files, heavily based on https://github.com/felixfeliz/paperfoldmodels by Felix Scholz aka felixfeliz. Possible input files are STL, Wavefront OBJ, PLY and OFF. To run this you need to install OpenMesh with python pip. The algorithm of paperfoldmodels consists of three steps: - Find a minimum spanning tree of the dual graph of the mesh. - Unfold the dual graph. - Remove self-intersections by adding additional cuts along edges. Reference: The code is mostly based on the algorithm presented in a by Straub and Prautzsch (https://geom.ivd.kit.edu/downloads/proj-paper-models_cut_out_sheets.pdf).

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.

Parametric SVG
Frank
This Extension allows you to embed a python script in the svg document, in that script you can define vars and functions (any python code really)... Then you can create parametric attributes in your svg objects. a parametric attribute is an attribute prefixed with parametric namespace, this attribute can contain any valid python expression which will be evaluated by this extension and the result will be set to the real attribute (without namespace) for example: # Import utilities from pyscript import svg import math # Simple rotation # 1. Get the Element element = ink.select_first('#arrow') # 2. Parse the element path = svg.PathObject( node = element ) # 3. Rotate path path.rotate( math.radians ( 30 ) ) # take into account inkscape inverted coordinate system # 4. Update element path.commit() Project page: https://gitlab.com/mnesarco/inkscape-pyscript

Simple attribute editor
MatheM
Collection of extensions useful for bulk editing of element attributes. Menu location: Extensions > Attributes Edit Attributes Edits attribute on all selected elements. Available edits: - set sets new value of attribute (adds attribute if necessary) - append adds new value to the end of current value of attribute - prefix adds new value to the beginning of current value of attribute - subtract deletes the given value string from current value of attribute - remove deletes attribute of given name Import Attributes imports attribute values from given text file. Lines in the file must be in format 'elementId,attributeName,value'. Malformed ids will be skipped, malformed attribute names will cause an error. Remove Obsolete removes attributes sodipodi:absref, sodipodi:docbase and sodipodi:docname from the document. These attributes contain absolute paths to resources which can pose a security issue. Inkscape will sometimes re-generate those attributes.

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.

Dxf2papercraft
Mario Voigt
Unfold and import DXF into InkScape using dxf2papercraft. This is some kind of wrapper extension utilizing kabeja to convert the dxf output from dxf2papercraft into SVG. To make it work you need to install at least java. Works on Windows and Linux. dxf2papercraft itself is a tool to make flattened 2D output from a 3D DXF file. Note that kabeja and dxf2papercraft are really old tools. There might be a lot better solutions out there but this is a good starting point and it basically works :) You might have a look at https://inkscape.org/~MarioVoigt/%E2%98%85dxfdwg-importer and https://inkscape.org/~MarioVoigt/%E2%98%85inkscape-papercraft-unfold-stl too.

Parabola
Reginald Waters
Parabola is an Inkscape extension that renders a series of lines in selected shapes to form an optical illusion of a curved line (Parabolic lines) Shapes available are: * Square * Cross * Triangle Output is an object made of a series of editable paths. See the github for documentation and example output: https://github.com/opensourcebear/inkscape-extension-parabola This extension was tested on: MacOS Big Sur running Inkscape version 1.0 Ubuntu Linux running Inkscape version 1.0.1 Windows 10 running Inkscape version 1.0.2 *Updated 2/28/2021* ============================================== Version 1.1.0 changes the border behavior. The border will now only be drawn along the edges of the corners selected to be rendered. Previously it would draw the entire shape border when the border option was selected. ==============================================

Clip Out Inkscape Extension to clip a background image by object outlines then export to multiple png. Supports: Exporting individual clipped objects ( normal and inverse ) Export master of all clipped objects ( normal and inverse ) Cropping to resulting image size, or exporting to background image size. Appears under Extensions>Export Requires Inkscape 1.1+ --> The image to be clipped must be the last selected. An easy way to do this, is select all then shift & left click the image twice to make it the last selected. It does require that you have saved our svg file at least once before using ( will not work on an unsaved svg ) ----- 10.03.22 - bug fix ----

Chipscratches
Andrew Kurn
This extension creates visual noise of various kinds, using 3 ingredients, scratches, chips, and specks. Extensions -> Generate -> Noise -> ChipScratches The 3 ingredients go into 3 Inkscape groups. Where they are in the tree is controlled by the object selected at the time the extension is called. They become sisters of the selected object, under the same parent. If there is no selection, they go to the root level. In the text below, each * indicates a settable parameter in the pop-up box. The extension fills a rectangle, which defaults* to the page size, or is width* by height*. The overall size* and number* of marks is set. However, for each of the 3, a multiplier changes the size* and number*. To get the overall value, just set the multiplier to 1.0 Also, each of the 3 may be separately enabled* or disabled. For each ingredient, it is possible to set the size to grow* with y. For this case, it is possible to set the size to a negative multiplier, so that it, when growing, will pass through zero somewhere in the middle of the box. For scratches, it is possible to change their orientation from vertical to angular*, radiating from the center of the box. (If so, growth is measured from the center.) The initial angle* and the change with distance* are set. For chips and specks, there are similar controls, except the angular ones, which are omitted. Last, there is the option to use a density gradient*. In the simple case, the probability of making a mark is the same everywhere. With a gradient, it changes from 0 to 1 across the box from left to right. -- Some of the features above may be of little use, while some omitted ones might be important. This is a beta version, so I await user feedback. I notice that the extension might take 5 seconds to run. Is this important? A bit of clean-up might help this. Two features that might slow it down considerably are clusters and collisions. Collisions, if implemented, would keep any 2 marks from landing on top of each other. Slow, because each mark must search all the previous marks. Clusters is some method of putting new marks near old ones. I think this would be especially useful for specks, which could be clustered around the end of scratches. Right now, they're uniform, and so fade into the background. Again, feedback? Technical note: This file may also be used to generate the inx file. (The bundled inx file was generated this way.) Set the global /inxGen/ =1 and run the file stand-alone. - AK Sept 2018

Art PNG Export
Martin Owens
Remove anti-aliasing artefacts in Inkscape 1.2 by using this extension to use the correct anti-aliasing settings, color modes and down-sampling algorithm to produce to nicest results for adjacent shapes. In SVG, adjacent shapes are rendered sequentially. When antialiasing is enabled, this process creates very small gaps between shapes which are actually touching each other. All renderers of SVG, including browsers and other art programs have this effect since it's built into the way shapes are rendered. But there is a way to get a good output, and that is to do the anti-aliasing step after rendering, by resizing the image down. Your images will be 4x smaller when using this extension so you should account for that when exporting. But should remove all anti-aliasing artefacts. If you still see gaps, your shapes may not truly be touching. This extension only works with Inkscape 1.2 raster extensions.

cartesianStemPlot
fsmMLK
Inkscape extension to create 2D stem plot (discrete data) The main features are - optional grid lines in X and Y directions - adjustable tick mark intervals and sizes - LaTeX support - can load data from text file This extension is specially useful when used in conjunction with other mathematical tools, e.g. Octave, Matlab, R, etc. to plot data generated by these in Inkscape. You can either provide the data in one string 'Y values' (numbers must be separated by spaces) or by providing the path of a text file containing a table of Y data (in columns). You can inform the preferred field separator. In case of data provided via text file, multiple plots can be generated at once by providing Y data of each plot in different columns. The same 'X values' is assumed.

Multi-clip Image
Khemadeva .
This tool allows you to use multiple shapes as clipping regions to clip an image. Features include: Delete Selection: Optionally remove the clipping shapes after the operation. Group with Shape: Group each clipped part with its corresponding clipping shape (if not deleted with the option above). Add Below: Place the clipped images below the clipping shape in the layer stack (if the shape is not deleted with the option above). Animate: Add a simple translation animation to the clipped parts (can be tested only in browser). The extension is designed to be straightforward to use: select an image and the shapes, and apply the extension from the Extensions menu, no reordering of objects is necessary as the extension uses the first available image from selection and all the shapes for clipping. You can find it under Extensions > Generate from Path > Multi-clip Image. I look forward to any feedback or suggestions you might have. Thanks!

vpypetools - vpype for Inkscape
Mario Voigt
vpype is a command processor working with SVG files. It can do a lot of productive steps to optimize files for different purposes like pen plotting, laser cutting or the generation of creative artwork. vpype is really powerful and helps to extend Inkscape feature capability. vpype contains a lot of functionality which is included natively within Inkscape. The extension "vpype for Inkscape" does not deal with all features but with a set of important commands like linemerge, linesort, linesimplify, occult, etc. We can use it to shorten tool path lengths, remove hiddenlines and so on. vpype converts all elements into simple SVG elements like svg:line, svg:polyline and svg:polygon. They can be displayed properly in Inkscape, but they have no knot handles to edit (see https://alpha.inkscape.org/vectors/www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopicb51d.html?f=16&t=32562). We need to convert those elements to svg:path using key combination CTRL + SHIFT + C ("object to path"; do not use "stroke to path" because it will duplicate your outline with inset and outset contours). Our extension allows to do this conversion automatically. Documentation: https://stadtfabrikanten.org/display/IFM/vpypetools

LaTeXText: Render LaTeX in Inkscape
seebk
This Inkscape extension searches all text elements in a document and renders them with PdfLatex. The rendered text will appear at the same position as the original text and may contain Latex commands and math formula. Modifications of the source text will be considered when the extension is executed again. As the rendered text is added to a new layer, the original document content is not touched and you can always wipe out all modifications from this extension by simply deleting the created layer.

Blobs
Andrew Kurn
This extension creates a texture of blobs. Blobs are randomly scattered over a rectangle (user input). Individual blobs are randomly generated as described below. Inkscape v 0.92 on Debian Gnu-Linux. The pop-up has two tabs, Each and All. Each: Blobs are built starting with a number of (interior) points, in a Gaussian distribution. The (almost) convex hull is built and then (somewhat) smoothed with splines. In the above sentence, each parenthesis indicates an input parameter, called out in the pop-up "interior" "concavity" "bluntness". Also, "size of a blob" sets the /standard deviation/ of the distribution, so blobs are typically 3 times larger than the value. Bluntness = 0.3 makes pleasingly round, mostly convex blobs. 0.4 makes them more concave. 0.6 - 1.0 they're getting more and more pointy. 2.0 - 10. and they grow appendages like hot-air balloons. 0.1 makes the corners pretty sharp. 0.0 and it's down to the convex hulls that are the basis of the blobs, that is, polygons. Concavity goes from 0 to 1. 0 tries to be completely convex. Increasing the number allows more interior points to be used so the shape becomes more complex, as well as more branchy. All: The work area x,y values specify a rectangle in which to place the blobs. Their centers are restricted to this area, so blobs may spill outside it. Centers are placed randomly. Number of blobs. -- Blobs are on their own layer "Blob layer". There may be several.

Ungrouper And Element Migrator/Filter
Mario Voigt
This extension parses the selection and will put all elements into one single group. If you have a cluster with lots of groups and elements you will clean up this way (one top level group, all elements below it). If you select a single element or a set of elements you just wrap it like using CTRL + G (like making a usual group). You can also use this extension to filter out unwanted SVG elements at all. This tool is also able to drop elements with certain SVG tags to perform some kind of cleanup in the selection. You can drop elements like circle,ellipse,image,line,path,polyline,rect,text,tspan and some more. Notes: - includes "Remove Empty Groups" extension - includes "Apply Transformations" extension

Animate Yo
prof milki
Allows to add trivial <animate> tags to a SVG document. Embedded animations work for standalone SVG graphics. Some instructions are understood by the GIF interpolation in ★export_gif <https://inkscape.org/~culturaljuice/%E2%98%85export_gif> (which this was originally intended for). Usually requires selecting one object, invoking the module in Extension➜Animation➜Animate-Yo, and selecting one of the tabs to inject an <animate*> tag. The [move] option additionally requires a selected path (second argument) for transitioning the main object on. You can use Inkscapes´ XML editor (Ctrl+Shift+X) to expand the options (keyFrames also have partial support in export_gif now).

An inkscape extension to cut an open path with a closed one and deleting the parts covered (or not) by it. Like destructive clipping. This is useful for pen plotters and similar devices that cannot deal with clipping masks, but need actually shortened path commands to steer them.

DXF calibration frame for Silhouette Studio
Ellen Wasbø
Silhouette Studio Basic Edition can not open SVG files, only DXF. The scaling of the design is lost when importing the DXF file. Adding a frame around the design matching the size it will be forced into when imported to Silhouette Studio will cause the scaling to be kept. For a quick way of doing this I created an extension with the option to add a frame matching the 8x12in or 12x12in cutting mat and media size in Silhouette Studio.

export_gif
prof milki
Generates a GIF slideshow from image layers ☰ (Shift+Ctrl+L). The menu option Extensions➔>Export➔GIF-slideshow… iterates over layers to generate animation slides. They get merged from bottom to top. Depending on shape overlap or layer transparency, there's different usage modes: 🞂 With a solid background in each layer, there's no accumulation to take care of. 🞂 Alternatively elect layers` can be labeled as [background] to stick, or [fixed] as permanent foreground, or [merge] for down-grouping. 🞂 If the -layers option is composite/coalesce/merge then all lower layers remain visible until the current frame. 🞂 Any [animate] layers get interpolated as is, layer transparency preserved. Requires ImageMagick installed; fit for standard Linux setups. But might work with convert.exe on Windows. And alternatively there's the builtin Pillow conversion method. The options mostly map to IM flags. 🞂 Without the PNG conversion step, SVG interpretation is up to Imagick, and will not render fancy font/path effects. Just for plain old SVGs. 🞂 The [PNG→Pillow] option works without ImageMagick, but often generates rougher GIFs, yet might produce smaller result files. 🞂 In [JavaScript] mode, no output file will be generated. It just adds a script for animating slides into the current document (web views). 🞂 A [fixed] layer label describes a permanent foreground (until overdrawn), but never constitues a frame. Whereas [background] layers only become active and permanent when its frame is reached. Additionally [merge] labels will enjoin partial layers to the preceding full slide. But also [exclude] to omit layers entirely. 🞂 There's also a rudimentary [animate=5] option to craft subframes from embedded <animate*> instructions. 🞂 Each layer label may also specify ImageMagick flags [--delay=2.5]. 🞂 The "default background color" is useful for otherwise transparent layers. Half-transparancy can be useful to gradually fade out lower frames (only seems to work in SVG/ImageMagick -displace mode). 🞂 Extra arguments are just a list of sample options, might not be particularly useful by themselves. Use the second input or [--flag=X] labels for more refined combinations. 🞂 Can't run two instances in parallel, due to fixed /tmp/inkscape… dir 🞂 It's also available as File > Save As... option (fewer options). 🞂 Tested on Inkscape 1.2 (2022-05-xx) and 1.3-dev (2022-09-xx) Might require some experimentation, and heavily utilizing the preview option. Potential error popups become informative at the very end. Code is derived from Xavi's "Export Layers Redux For Inkscape 1.1+". <https://inkscape.org/~VagabondArcade/%E2%98%85export-layers-redux-for-inkscape-11> ZIP contains the `pmd2inks` command-line tool to ease extending the options dialog (using the <https://pypi.org/project/pluginconf/> format).

createMarkers
fsmMLK
Inkscape's extension to assist creating new markers with custom shapes and colors. The main features/advantages are 1-) It is a convenient way to produce predefined markers you use very often. Right now, there are just 3 predefined types (dot, arrow1, ellipsis), but this number can grow fast if people ask or expand this extension. If you have some basic skills on python scripting, you can easily add your own predefined markers. 2-) It is possible to quickly control maker colors (both filling and stroke). It is a nice way to control marker colors, specially in 0.91 since Inkscape forces the marker color to match the line color. 3-) Easy control over its scale with respect to the line width. By using the standard 'Object->Object to Marker' present in Inkscape, you would need to make several copies of your custom marker, with different scales, and proceed with a try-and-error approach to find the appropriate scale. 4-) It is a convenient way to modify/redefine a marker in your document. You just have to use the same nameID and configure the extension to overwrite the old definition.

vCard QR Code Creator
Maren Hachmann
This Inkscape extension creates QR codes that contain your personal business card information in a standardized machine readable format (vCard 4.0), so you can quickly share your info by just letting another person scan your QR code with their mobile phone, e.g. when meeting people at a conference or business fair. It contains fields for both private and business information. All fields except for the name field are optional. Consider creating different codes for private and business events. The most up-to-date version can be found at https://gitlab.com/moini_ink/vcard-qr-code-creator Inspired by Sergey Vedernikov's vCard QR Code generator extension. Installation ============ Copy the files in the src/ directory into the user extensions directory (see 'Inkscape Preferences > System' for the exact location) and relaunch Inkscape. Usage ===== In Inkscape, you can find the extension in Extensions > Render > Barcode > vCard QR Code. The 'Full name' field is the only required field. Each field has an info text with an example which appears when you hover above it with the mouse cursor. Formatting is important! Email addresses, links to images / GPG keys and your birthday must be formatted correctly. The extension will automatically determine the correct QR code size. As QR codes have a limited size (less than 3000 characters), it may happen that the extension tells you that the text is too long. You can then reduce the error correction level to gain capacity and / or shorten/remove some of your data from the form. When you have entered all the information that you would like to appear in your vCard, click on 'Apply'. This will add a QR code to your document. Test the QR code with your phone's QR code scanner. Use: print it on your business card, share it on your website, copy it to your phone, … License ======= Main code: GPLv2 or higher Validation code for email addresses and urls: MIT

Batch Add & Sort Symbol
RuaridhW
This emulates Inkscape v1.3 gui add_symbol action but also: -Adds each selected object individually NOT grouped as a single symbol. -Alpha-Numeric and Canvas Position sorting options. -Auto-labelling options. -Sorting adjusts object z-axis like Rob Antonishen's restack extn. *NEW* - Alpha-Numeric Sort can be interleaved with existing symbols. -Positional Sort does NOT interact with pre-existing symbols. New symbols added below existing. -Adds an editable Title element to symbol if object title blank. Allows easier retroactive symbol label/name adjustment. -Also includes Quick Add extn which batch adds selected objects unsorted. But .inx adjustable to create own preset of main extn; see readme.txt. -Help and Troubleshooting advice in extension dialogue -For use in managing symbol library file and is intended to aid symbol library creation only. Other uses not tested. -"Symbols Batch Sort and Add..." + "Quick Batch Add Symbols" Placed in Extensions>Symbols -As with any v1.3 extension can give keyboard shortcut. The premise for this extension is that the inbuild symbol add function only allows adding one symbol at a time; multiple selected objects added as a single grouped symbol. Also with 1.3 the symbol library is only displayed in z-axis order NOT alpha-numerically; whilst potential for sort options to be introduced in 1.3.1 in the interim z-axis sort is all that is available. Other Symbol management extensions available: -Alpha Sort (sorts All symbols in current file) -Batch Remove (with Quick Remove Selected) _____ v.1.3 (14/08/23) -Bug fix remove debugging errormsg pop up; no functional change. _____ v.1.2 (14/08/23) -Alpha-Numeric Sort can now be interleaved with existing symbols. _____ v.1.1 (12/08/23) -bug fix unsorted add -simplification of main dialogue tab and py code -Added auto-label number format option -Now 'quick add' + 'add and sort' run off same py. i.e. both .inx ref same .py -'Quick add' + 'add and sort' included in package. -Quick Add Settings guide to allow setting of own preferences(readme.txt)

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

Create Links (Breakaway Connectors)
Mario Voigt
To create tabs in Inkscape, we cannot properly use the integrated eraser tool. It will clip only in a cosmetic fashion but we do not get the real paths we need. Creating links (also known as microtabs, tabs, bridges, breakaway connectors, links, perforations) is sometimes required for laser cutting or vinyl cutting. This extension allows to pinch paths to create according segments - no cosmetic one's, but real segments. It will split up open or closed contours with user defined rules. To get best output please try to close open paths before using. Docs: https://stadtfabrikanten.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=104923235

Get and set glyph IDs
Ellen Wasbø
A previous extension (setIDs.py) is now updated for Inkscape v1.1 with some extra features. This extension is used together with the Custom Stroke Font extension to streamline the process of font creating. There are two extensions; get and setGlyphIDs. The getGlyphIDs will fetch all path ids for the glyphs when editing an existing svg-font. The process of editing the paths frequently mess up the path ids and the order of the paths. Then the fetched IDs (or a custom string input) can be used with the setGlyphIDs when the font template is ready to generate the new svg-font. When using the setGlyphIDs, the individual characters of the string is set as path ids for the glyphs left to right as seen on screen (use one row when generating the font template from Custom Stroke Font). Known issue: If a glyph have path id " (doublequote) the extension might fail. Temporarly change that path id to something else (f.x. 'temp') and it should work.

path animation
katkitty
Create svg path animation from frames. A path can be animated as follows: <path d="{orignal frame}"> <animate attributeName="d" attributeType="XML" begin="0s" dur="0.73" repeatCount="2" values="{frame1};{frame2}[;{framen}]"> </path> Most browsers will draw the path, then animate it, interpolating between the paths in the animate values list. Some i-phone browsers do not animate. Grrr. To use: Place each frame of the animation in a layer named 'frame{n}'. Each of these layers should have the same number of paths, and each path should have the same number of points as the corresponding path in other layers. The animation is applied to the paths in the first layer in the sequence, so the properties of that layer are used. Animations with different numbers of frames can be put into different sequences, named 'sequence{n}', using sub-groups: Layers: > not_animated_layer1 > sequence1 >> frame1 >>> path1a >>> path2a >> frame5 >>> path1b >>> path2b >> frame2 >>> path1c >>> path2c >> frame4 >>> path1d >>> path2d > sequence5 >> frame >> frame >> frame NOTE, any numbers on frames or sequence are ignored. The z order of frames and paths determine their position in the animation. SUGGESTION: Set all frames but the first to not display or even delete them before using the animated SVG in a browser. Experiment with different duration times for each path. NOTE: The pop-up box does not close after creating the animate node. The node appears under the paths in the first frame of each sequence. NOTE: Inkscape does NOT run the animation! You need to load the svg into a web browser to see it.

Export to LaserGRBL for laser cutting
Nikki.Smith
This free extension for Inkscape speeds up preparation of laser cutting jobs by exporting Gcode to LaserGRBL (included with most laser cutters). Pick your model of laser and material / thickness from pulldown lists, then export a complex job directly into LaserGRBL with one click. Use different coloured lines for each part of a job. eg, red lines to engrave in a single pass at 3000 mm/min @ 80% power, but blue lines cut in 3 passes at 300 mm/min @ 90% power. The emphasis is on it being very easy to use, with the bare minimum of settings. v1.10 14/Oct/2024

Inflatemesh
Alexander Pruss
This extension adds the option to save to an OpenSCAD or STL file by inflating the filled paths (convert all objects to paths before using) in your object. There are a number of parameters controlling the inflation. The inflation height at a given point x is calculated as proportional to the L^p norm of the exit time of a random walk started at x (with some edge corrections, and with an optional exponential kill-time to flatten tops if desired). There is also included an svg2scad extension that extracts paths to OpenSCAD point lists, ribbons or polygons. It also tries to handle nested holes. The official home of the project is https://github.com/arpruss/inflatemesh

Simpleinkscape.V0.1
Mr. Raven
This extension changes the Inkscape interface into a simpler one. It hides quite some elements from the menus and toolbars so that a more basic version of the interface remains. This can be useful for educational purposes. It is very easy to use and you can always go back to the default Inkscape user interface. After installing the extension, you restart Inkscape, open the menu 'Extensions', submenu 'Interface' and then 'Simple Inkscape'. It explains itself. This extension was made in collaboration with @Kirstie, one of the users of the Inkscape forum and writer of a very good Dutch book about Inkscape. She made the changes to the ui, I made the extension that installs or removes them. There are two forum topics about this extension. https://inkscape.org/forums/extensions/simple-inkscape-what-items-do-we-want/ https://inkscape.org/forums/extensions/simple-inkscape-extension-children-education-learning-simplified-user-interface/ It works in Windows and Linux for Inkscape 1.0 and above. Lower versions of Inkscape will not work. Mac is currently not supported since I have no Mac to test it on. It will simply give an error message on Mac. If anyone who has a Mac wants to help me test it, I believe I can make it work for Mac as well. Please contact me if you want to help me with it. If you have questions - please feel free to ask. I would also be interested to know if the extension is used and what it is used for so that I can keep that in mind for future versions. So if use it - leave a post if you like.
