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 1.0 Packaging Tools
aljurado
This collection is a set of extensions geared towards the world of packaging to help designers create die-cut profiles of their designs. With this collection you can generate the profiles of different cases, trays, folders, etc ... to use in your designs. Initially, this collection includes 3 types of basic cases: linear, automatic funds and trays. Altogether 7 types of different cases. Linear: Girdles, Normal or opposite leg linear cases, Plane or parallel leg type linear cases and semi-automatic or Swiss bottom cases. Automatic bottom cases Trays: shirt-type or double rail type, 4P tray. These are the first 6 extensions, and although the cases generated are of the correct size and dimensions, they have some technical deficiencies that will be solved in future modifications, but which are not decisive for the design. The next extensions to be added to this collection will be 4 and 6 point trays and folders with 1 and 2 pockets, with and without spine. Among the corrections to techniques made more immediately are the substitution of some vertices for rounded corners. Add the option to offset the profile measurements based on the thickness of the material. And adding other work units like centimeter and inch, currently only works in mm. How to use these extensions: To use these extensions download all the files in the folder "share\inkscape\extensions" and restart Inkscape. Take into account that these extensions have been created directly for version 1.0 of Inkscape, just in this version the extension system was changed so that these are not valid for previous versions. License This collection of extensions is licensed under GPL v3. (GPL v3) Visit my gitlab repo to stay updated (https://gitlab.com/aljurado/packaging-inkscape-extensions). -------------------------------- Esta colección es un conjunto de extensiones orientadas al mundo del packaging para ayudar a los diseñadores a crear los perfiles de troquealdo de sus diseños. Con esta colección puedes generar los perfiles de diferentes estuches, bandejas, carpetas, etc... para usar en tus diseños. De forma inicial esta colección incluye 3 tipos de estuches básicos: lineales, fondos automáticos y bandejas. En total 7 tipos de estuches diferentes. Lineales: Fajas, Estuches lineales normales o de patas opuestas, Estuches lineales tipo avión o de patas paralelas y estuches fondo semi-automático o de fondo Suizo. Estuches de fondo automático Bandejas: tipo camiseras o de doble baranda, bases de 4 puntos. Estas son los primeras 6 extensiones, y aunque los estuches generados son del tamaño y dimensiones correctas, tienen algunas deficiencias técnicas que se iran resolviendo en futuras revisiones pero que para el diseño no son determiantes. Las próximas extensiones que se añadirán a esta colección serán bandejas de 4 y 6 puntos y carpetas con 1 y 2 bolsillos, con y sin lomo. Entre las correcciones a técnicas realizar de forma más inmediata están la sustitución de algunos vértices por esquinas redondeadas. Agregar la opción de compensar las medidas del perfil en función del grueso del material. Y agregar otras unidades de trabajo como el centímetro y la pulgada, actualmente solo trabaja en milímetros. Como usar estas extensiones: Para usar estas extensiones descarga todos los archivos en la carpeta "share\inkscape\extensions" y reinicia Inkscape. Ten en cuenta que estas extensiones se han creado directamente para la versión 1.0 de Inkscape, justo en esta versión se cambio el sistema de extensiones con lo que estas no son validas para versiones anteriores.

Inkscape Isometric Projection 2.1
jdhoek
This Inkscape extension transforms objects drawn on a two-dimensional plane to an isometric 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

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 1.1, Inkscape extension for Inkscape 1.0 and higher. Download most current version from here: https://gitlab.com/Moini/inkscape-realscale-extension/-/repository/archive.zip?ref=master 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

Inkscape to povray
Paco Garcia
svg2pov is a script for inkscape developed in python that exports svg paths to povray, the paths with stroke are exported as a series of cylinders and spheres with a radius equal to that established in the svg, the paths filled are exported as prisms objects. The border and fill color the are established in the svg file, including those with linear or radial gradients.

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

Color Swap
jeko
Extension similar to "color replace" that swaps two user defined colors. The zip file contains a version for Inkscape 0.92 and 1.0. The underlying color extension has a regression in 1.0 and does not work on grouped objects. This has been fixed in the extensions repository. Only tested on Windows but should work on all platforms.

Join Paths Effect
Khemadeva .
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

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.

Jitter Gradients
Ken Vermette
Inkscape extension, take a large selection of elements with gradients and randomly move their endpoints. Ideal when working with a large number of tiles, placing a large overarching gradient, then jittering to add texture. Still extremly basic, over time I expect to add more options and improve the overall quality of the extension.

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.

Ids to text elements
whidev
Updated for Inkscape 1.0 ! A simple Inkscape extension that lets you extract the ids from the selected paths and show them as text elements inside the paths. Convert each path's id attribute to a new text element. Available under the Extensions > Text submenu. There are options available for styling and formatting the text: Font size in px Color (the fill color of the <text> nodes) Font (should be installed on the system) Font Weight (should be supported by the selected font) Text to replace (a simple replace function to remove characters you may not want from the ids during the extraction) Angle (rotation of the generated <text> nodes, in degrees) Capitalize (option to capitalize all text) Match Regular Expression** (matches the id of each path to a regular expression and uses that as text on the path, e.g. if the id is `Province_055` and this field `\d+`, the text on the path will be just `055`) 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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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

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

Dxf2papercraft

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.

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

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.

Openclosedpath
Ellen Wasbø
This extension will open up closed paths by removing all z-commands from the selected paths. My purpose: to use single line svg-fonts as otf/ttf/opf fonts. These font formats require closed paths and will add a closing command to the glyphs. This closing can be removed by converting the text to paths, ungroup and then using this extension.

Number subpaths
Ellen Wasbø
Visualize the order of subpaths within one path. Each start and end node will be marked with green/red dots and a text flag according to its order. Optionally the path ID could be visualized if working with more than one combined path. I use this for various projects where combining paths is needed and the order is of importance - embroidery designs, developing and testing extensions for cutting/plotting. This extension is based on the Inkscape included extension Visualize Path > Number Nodes by Aaron Spike from 2005. Number Subpaths can be found in the same menu when installed. Tested for v1.01, v1.02 and v1.1 on Windows 10.

Cleanup Styles
Mario Voigt
This plugin is a bit similar to Blueprint Maker but has a more special use case and a lot of options! It is useful for adjusting the stroke width and opacity of large groups. Usually for good laser cutting the line width has to match a maximum width to be recognized as a hairline. Additionally often opacity issues cause that lines are missed by laser cutter.

Inkscape2pcb
erichVK5
A set of extensions that allows export of paths to PCB layout editors, namely: 1) the pcb-rnd layout editor as a subcircuit in native pcb-rnd lihata file format (.lht) ( http://repo.hu/projects/pcb-rnd/ ) 2) the gEDA PCB layout editor as a footprint in native gEDA PCB footprint format (.fp) ( http://pcb.geda-project.org/ ) 3) KiCad users, indirectly, who can import gEDA PCB footprints from within KiCad The export script for pcb-rnd will also export paths as polygons, along with the outlines, provided the paths depict simple, non self-intersecting polygons. The pcb-rnd layout editor has a more capable data model, allowing polygons within footprints, and also load and save in KiCad formats.

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

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

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`). Removal of animations is not implemented yet. You can use the XML editor to remove the style tags whose `id`s start with 'anim_' and 'pathanim_'. 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/4906), the extension currently (2021-05-11) does not work with the Selector and CSS dialog open - Inkscape removes the CSS animations from the file right after the extension has created them. Changing an object's style after adding the animation yields the same result.

ImageAligner extension
matyilona
An extension fro aligning multiple images, by palcing markers over the same features. The extension has two features, drawing the markers, and aligning the images. First the markers are drawn, 3 for the "target" (top blue ones) -- theese indicate where the choosen features will end up -- and 3 for each image to be aligned -- theese indicate the same feature on all images. After the markers are positioned the ID for each image has to be set (Object -> Object properties) to name given in the ID field, and a number indicating wich set of markers are used for that image (if the id field is set to "qwert" then the image with the green markers has to have the id "qwert1", the one with the red ones "qwert2" and so on). If everything is set up, choose align objects from the dropdown maneu and click ok.

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. [Updated for Inkscape 1.0]

Exponential X-Axis
jnweiger
This Inkscape extension transforms an object along the x-axis. The bounding box remains unchanged. Points near the center of the object move to create the illusion of a curved surface. Points move left, if you choose an exponent > 1, and right if the exponent is < 1. An exponent of 1.0 does exactly nothing. This can be used in combination with the bend path effect to create a cone projection that retains aspect ratio. Idea from Simon Budig while preparing for the lampshade workshop.

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.

Set IDs to individual characters of input string
Ellen Wasbø
While creating svg-fonts using the Custom Stroke Font extension each path representing a glyph need to have the id set equal to the corresponding character. Even though you have set the id for all the paths correctly, many changes to the path will trigger a new autogenerated path id. Then you have to do the set id job all over again. I wrote an extension to set the glyph ids automatically based on position of bounding box to speed up this process. The ids (single characters) are set as one input string.

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.

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
