Inkscape extension for creating generative art.

The scope of this extension has been kept very minimal. It simply takes the selected object(s) and creates the specified number of copies of it. Each new copy will have a cumulative transformation applied to it where each transformation consists of

- a rotation around 0,0 (top left of the canvas),
- a shift in x and y, and
- a scale operation in x and y.

The rotation and shift operation can be done either lineraly (the same amount for every copy) or by a sinusidal factor (oscillating for each copy).

tgk, what sets this extension apart from the 'Interpolate subpaths' path effect?

Maren Hachmann: interesting question! This extension takes as it input a shape and applies the same transformation for each copy (accumulated). It gives you control over the individual transformation components. I think "Interpolate subpaths" works slightly differently but I have not worked much with it.
