Scientific Inkscape
burghoff
A set of extensions for efficiently importing, editing, and resizing scientific figures. 1. Scale Plots: Changes the size or aspect ratio of a plot without modifying its text and ticks. Especially useful for assembling multi-panel figures. 2. Flattener: A utility that eliminates much of the structure generated by common plot generation programs and PDF imports. For most imported plots, this should be the first thing you run. 3. Homogenizer: Sets uniform fonts, font sizes, and stroke widths in a selection. 4. Auto-Exporter: Automatically exports SVG files in a directory and keeps them updated. 5. Gallery Viewer: Provides a way to view and edit the SVG contents of files or folders. 6. Text Ghoster: Adds a semi-transparent background to text so that it can be overlaid with data. 7. Combine by Color: An extension that fuses paths of the same color and style together into a single path. 8. Favorite Markers: Lets you designate certain markers as favorites so that they can be conveniently accessed. --- Curated by Martin Owens on April 22 2022 9:10 AM

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!

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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

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

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. More details on how this works in the Link.

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

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)

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.

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.

Ink dbus
inklinea
Ink Dbus ------------------------------------ 21.01.23 update to automatically detect the python path on windows so should work if you have installed Inkscape to non default folder. ------------------------------------ A test of the new dbus features of Inkscape 1.2.1+ This allows an Inkscape session to be controlled from a separate gui. It supports running basic macros. There are 3 branches of dbus actions: Application / Window / Document Choose an action - add a parameter if required, click run to activate the action. Double click the action to add to the macro list. The items in the macro list can be toggled on / off or deleted. The macro list supports drag reordering of items. You can set a number of repeats - for example you could simplify 72 times if you wanted to. For Ubuntu 20+ everything should work. For Windows 10+ The 'Window' branch of dbus does not work. I have raised an issue on Inkscape gitlab for this. Please note: It does help if you have some knowledge of how the command line works. Most of the Application dbus actions mirror the command line and its parameters. Some of the commands act as 'flags' which are set, for example if you set export-area-page to True, then it has to be set to False again before you can use export-area-drawing set to True. As a quirk export-area which takes dimensions, once used you cannot go back to export-area-page etc. for that session. This is a new feature of Inkscape - so be prepared for exciting things to happen unexpectedly.

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

Reset to standard (STD) configuration
Jacob Grobler
https://github.com/hemelbesem90s/Reset-Standard-Config.git Inkscape Reset to Standard Configuration Extension This extension resets the visibility of all layers in an Inkscape document to a predefined standard configuration. Functionality The extension works with SVG files that have a hierarchical layer structure, where: Top-level layers represent option groups. Sub-layers represent specific options within those groups. Layers are made visible or invisible to enable or disable corresponding options. Layers that are part of the standard configuration have "(STD)" appended to their names. The extension resets the visibility of all layers so that only the layers with "(STD)" in their names (and their parent layers) are visible. Usage Install the extension by placing the reset_to_std_config.inx and reset_to_std_config.py files in your Inkscape extensions directory. Open your SVG document in Inkscape. Go to Extensions > Layer > Reset to Standard Configuration. Acknowledgements This extension was developed with the help of Gemini Advanced, Google's next-generation AI model.

Exponential X-Axis
Jürgen Weigert
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.

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.

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

Batch Remove Symbols
RuaridhW
This emulates Inkscape v1.3 gui remove_symbol action but also: -Removes symbols of selected clones on canvas OR ALL symbols and clones. -Also packaged is a Quick Remove Selected extn(.inx) using same py as main Batch inx. -For use in managing symbol library file and is intended to aid symbol library creation only. Other uses not tested. -"Symbols Batch Remove..." + "Quick Remove Selected Symbols" placed in Extensions>Symbols -As with any v1.3 extension can be allocated a keyboard shortcut. The premise for this extension is that the inbuilt symbol remove function only allows removal one symbol at a time; even using xml editor. (Batch Add and Sort extension also available)

Alpha Sort Symbols
RuaridhW
In Inkscape v1.3 the symbol library displays in XML stack order only. -This z-axis restacks the symbols in alphabetical order -This functions similar to Arrange>Restack extension by sorting symbols in the Z-axis. -For use in managing symbol library file and is intended to aid symbol library creation only. Other uses not tested. -"Alpha-Numeric Sort Symbols..." placed in Extensions>Symbols -Whilst this does reorder the SVG XML file structure and it is likely that 1.31 or later version will provide inbuilt non-structural sorting, but in the interim this is probably of use to some as an extension to allow the display of your symbols in alpha-numeric order. Other Symbol management extensions available: -Batch Add & Sort (with Quick Batch Add) -Batch Remove (with Quick Remove Selected)

Prover iLock attributes
hugo_at_prover
This extension opens up a dialog that allows the user to set some Prover iLock specific attributes. The attributes decide how Prover iLock will display the svg file, in particular they are used to associate layers to "visualization features" that are used to dynamically change the drawn symbol based on the current state in the tool.

Sibelius ViewBox
musikai
This is an extension for Inkscape 1.2 for correcting SVG-files that were exported by Sibelius via the graphic selection tool. These SVG are always the full page with 4 white rectangles that cover the unwanted area. The page size and viewbox isn't set correctly to show only the selected area. The extension will correct this and has the options to - remove the white cover boxes - remove all elements that are outside the page (most of it). #### Download: Click on the image above #### Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg7QqarVrA4 #### Installation: On Windows extract the zip file into something like this path: C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\inkscape\extensions\ To find and open the correct folder you can also open Inkscape->Edit->Preferences->System->User Extensions->Open After installation and restart Inkscape you can run the extension in "Extensions"->Document->Sibelius Viewbox. #### (Optional) Usage as .bat-file to process multiple SVGs: As it is a python script it also can be used to batch process multiple files via command line. Put this line into a text-file, edit the paths (yourname) and save as SibeliusViewbox.bat: for %%a in (%*) do python.exe "C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\inkscape\extensions\SibeliusViewbox\SibeliusViewboxExtension.py" --remove_whiteboxes=True --remove_elements=True %%a > %%a_viewbox.svg An example .bat-file is included. Once created you can drag and drop multiple SVGs onto the SibeliusViewbox.bat-file and the script will generate the corrected SVGs. Note: If Inkscape is not installed in "C:\Program Files\" you must edit the Python script. #### (Optional) Add .bat-file to Send-to-Menu: You can add the .bat-file to the Windows Send-to-menu. Open Windows-Explorer and insert this into the address-bar: shell:sendto This opens the Send-to-folder. Copy the .bat-file into it. Now you can select all your SVGs, right click -> Send-to -> SibeliusViewbox.bat

Dynamic GUI example extensions with GTK
Nikki.Smith
For extension developers. Most extensions to Inkscape use an .inx file that describes a static user interface, then a Python script is run one time when the user clicks "Apply". To create a dynamic UI (that changes as the user clicks buttons, selects from dropdown menus, etc) you can build it in GTK using a Python script that runs immediately. Requires Inkscape v1.1 or newer. These short examples demonstrate a handful of functions in GTK+ 3. Now includes an example extension that uses a .glade XML file to create the UI with Gtk.Builder(). Also many small changes that result in much higher pylint code scores.

Localization / translation example extension
Nikki.Smith
For extension developers. This minimal extension pulls together some helpful documentation about adding localization to an extension, including where the translation files go and what gettext commands to use on both Windows and Linux. Now includes localized text in the Python script. Also many small changes that result in a much higher pylint code score.

Lock/Unlock all layers
Jacob Grobler
# Inkscape Layer Locking Extensions https://github.com/hemelbesem90s/Lock-Unlock-All-Layers.git This repository contains three Inkscape extensions for managing layer locking: ## 1. Lock/Unlock All Layers This extension provides a convenient way to toggle the lock state of all layers in your Inkscape document. **Functionality:** * If any layer is unlocked, the extension will lock all layers. * If all layers are locked, the extension will unlock all layers. **Usage:** 1. Install the extension by placing the `lock_unlock_all_layers.inx` and `lock_unlock_all_layers.py` files in your Inkscape extensions directory. 2. Open your SVG document in Inkscape. 3. Go to `Extensions > Layer > Lock/Unlock All Layers`. ## 2. Lock All Layers This extension locks all layers in your Inkscape document, regardless of their current state. **Usage:** 1. Install the extension by placing the `lock_all_layers.inx` and `lock_all_layers.py` files in your Inkscape extensions directory. 2. Open your SVG document in Inkscape. 3. Go to `Extensions > Layer > Lock All Layers`. ## 3. Unlock All Layers This extension unlocks all layers in your Inkscape document, regardless of their current state. **Usage:** 1. Install the extension by placing the `unlock_all_layers.inx` and `unlock_all_layers.py` files in your Inkscape extensions directory. 2. Open your SVG document in Inkscape. 3. Go to `Extensions > Layer > Unlock All Layers`. ## Acknowledgements This extension was developed with the help of [Gemini Advanced](https://sites.research.google/gemini), Google's next-generation AI model.
