This package supports Inkscape extensions.
It provides
- a simplification layer for SVG manipulation through lxml
- base classes for common types of Inkscape extensions
- simplified testing of those extensions
- a user interface library based on GTK3
At its core, Inkscape extensions take in a file, and output a file.
- For effect extensions, those two files are SVG files.
- For input extensions, the input file may be any arbitrary
file and the output is an SVG.
- For output extensions, the input is an SVG file while the
output is an arbitrary file.
- Some extensions (e.g. the extensions manager) don't manipulate files.
This folder also contains the stock Inkscape extensions, i.e. the scripts
that implement some commands that you can use from within Inkscape.
Most of these commands are in the Extensions menu, or in the Open /
Save dialogs.
