Toying with Inkscape Extensions

January 14th, 2009 by heathenx

In continuation of my on and off again interest in Inkscape extensions, I decided to modify an existing python extension into a slightly different one just to see if I could get something to work. I realized that what I have added to the Effects menu has no business being there since it isn’t an effect. However, adding new items to the Effects menu is pretty easy as opposed to compiling the whole application if I chose to add this new option the the Help menu where it really belongs. “The quickest route to point B” is my motto.

Video.

Next up is an uber-simple effect that actually does something. :)

    Yo..

    That was very cool. Now just convince the Inkscape guys to put our entry in the help menu and point it to our site. No biggie. I assume you’ll have that done by sundown.

    :P

    What I really would like to do is be able to import a raster image and call Imagemagick to convert it to a perspective (distort). I think it would be a walk in the park for someone who can code but a real challenge for me. :(

    It wouldn’t be the same but I wish so very badly that Inkscape had the ability to take a raster image and adjust it exactly like Gimp does with it’s perspective command.

    Anyway, I’ll fiddle around with various things until a light bulb goes off.
