I am creating an illustration to be printed on an acrylic keychain. I need to create a white plate first, but it is very difficult to adjust the paths for this, so I would like to use a python script to do this. I would like to adjust all the paths to -0.1mm to make it look like the one on the right in the attached image 1, and finally complete the base as shown in the attached image 2. Is there a way to do this?

This is something I do for my Cricut machine.
However If I am using a bitmap image, I find it much easier to do in Gimp rather than Inkscape.
Use the colour select / fuzzy select tool.
The selection can be fine tuned, then you can use the grow/shrink function.
The selection can be converted to path in Gimp and copy pasted directly into Inkscape or saved as SVG.
Thank you.It went well.
Can I make this GIMP path scaling adjustment scripted?
Gimp (beta) 2.99.16 now has Python 3 fu ( Scripting ).
I've not used it myself yet.
Maybe that is the way forward :)
