Creating margin guide automatically

Postby damaru » Sun Jan 05, 2014 8:50 am

Hi there,

I use inkscape a lot for creating posters and print design. What I miss the most is having margin created, not hard margin but just guide. I have to manually create these guide every project. Is there a way to have margin guide created automatically, or is there a plugin for that?

Talking about plugin, what is a good source on how to make a plugin for inkscape?

Thanks!

Sorry for the noise, didn't search hard enough :

http://plugintop.com/inkscape-extension-guide-creator/

this extension does the trick really nicely, but doesn't create margin by size. That's a good start though :D

And just realized it was part of inkscape :S

Hi. I've written a bundle of inkscape extensions related to guides. You can find them here: https://github.com/sambody/inkscape-guide-tools

One of them is for adding margin guides. Either all margin guides with the same distance to the border, or separate distances. Maybe that's what you're looking for?

^ Now, when I know to whom, I thank you for the Remove guides.
One may hide guides, of course, but instead I`m relaying on your extension - very often.
