Multiple Boolean Operations with Inx Pathops
Maren Hachmann
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. For more info, please refer to the README file at https://gitlab.com/moini_ink/inx-pathops/-/blob/master/README.md . Inkscape extension written by su-v and updated for Inkscape 1.0 – 1.4 by Maren Hachmann, licensed GPLv2 or higher.

Styles To Layers
Mario Voigt
This extension will re-layer your selected items or the whole document according to their color (stroke or fill). Each style will be put onto it's own layer. This way you can devide elements by their colors with ease. It does some basic-only handling of gradient styles. See also https://inkscape.org/~MarioVoigt/%E2%98%85remove-empty-groups for useful cleaning extension. Notes: - includes "Apply Transformations" extension

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

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.

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).

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. Thanks for your hard work.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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
