Re: Extension text

I decided to use ( 'font-size': Fontsize * .65,) and ( y-(Fontsize*.35)) instead. This is stable and more flexible, but you have to start a new string every time you need a superscript. It would be nice to keep it all in one string, but for what I'm using it for this works fine. I read somewhere tha...

Re: Extension text

Thanks Moini,
I used the xlm editor in inkscape and realized baseline-shift was a style attribute. So I added "baseline-shift":"super", to the style and it works

Extension text

I need my extension to create a superscript. I know SVG supports This, but I don't know how to write it in an extension. Here's a sample of what I'm trying to do. (var2 needs to be a superscript) leng = str (int(var1)) + str(var2) t='rotate(%f,%f,%f) matrix(1,0,0,1,0,-%f)' % (deg,x,y,0) self.addText...

Re: [Extension] Architectural Dimensions

brynn,

I'm just testing the water right now. If it looks like there is enough interest I will.
Can you post a group of extensions (like 5 or 6) there?

[Extension] Architectural Dimensions

I made this extension for my own use , and was curious if any one else would have a need for it . This version is made to work in Inkscape.92, and uses Imperial measurements (feet, inches, fractions). How it works: select the Bezier tool. While drawing a line, snap to points you wish to measure from...

Inkscape .92 debug

When I use inkex.debug in my extensions it returns units in mm not px.
My question is, why, and can it be fixed?

Re: Architectural drawings?

Hi Phil, Good question, The cons - Inkscape dose not render in 3D. If you need 3D use SketchUp. SketchUp has more drafting friendly tools. Extensions can be made to take there place. Most ot the time they work better, but are more limiting. If you're coming from a CAD background, inkscapes flexibili...

Re: Architectural drawings?

Here it is.
The new and improved Dimensions Line Metric.
I included the old directions (the new extension looks different but works just the same).
The directions are a svg file, so just open them in Inkscape.

Re: Architectural drawings?

Thanks for your input. The numbers should be on top of the measurement line. I used my backup version to make this extension, and I think I forgot to hit save last time I worked on it. Anyway , it's an easy fix. As far as the double print, and the measurement line bypass...Well not so easy. A while ...

Re: Retrieve a selected groups x, y coordinates?

Hi Moini. Yes I did see simpletransform / boxunion, roughBBox, refinedBBox. I just don't know how to access it. Or what to access. I'm guessing it should look something like this. import simpletransform bbox = simpletransform.refineBBox(node.get('path')) x = bbox [0] [0] [1] [0] And what is xmin, an...

Retrieve a selected groups x, y coordinates?

I'm making a python extension, and need the extension to retrieve a selected groups x, y coordinates.
I think this can be done with the bounding box, but I don't know how to do it.
if there's any other way of doing it I'm all ears.

You might want to check out O-Skape Extensions.
Not sure if it's updated for Inkscape .91, but I know it works in Inkscape .48.

Here's the converted extension.
The directions are a svg file, and you should be able to open it in inkscape .
