Hmm. I don't think Inkscape --shell can accept verb commands, as the verb commands require a GUI.

Wow. I did not realize this existed. Very cool. Hmmm. Curious. I have never done anything like this before. If I run the following within PHP it will execute the shell and then just hang, as it waits for further instructions. system("inkscape --shell"); How do I keep sending it verb comman...

Hi, I use Inkscape via CLI with the PHP system command to create unique SVGs within a headless GUI. I use PHP to create a base SVG with unique text/variables (like a mail-merge), and then use Inkscape CLI verbs to complete actions and save out the "rendered" SVG. Here is the issue. It is s...

Great! Thank you guys for your help. -- Wyatt

Hi, This little "transform="translate(0,973.00002)" setting that Inkscape seems to automatically put on the default layer is messing up my world, as it changes the Y-axis, and then Y values within the SVG do not match what is on screen. I realize the Y-axis is flipped also, but this i...

Your edited file exported just fine. What do I need to do to my other files to make them export ok also? How did you change my original file?

Hi Guys, Good morning! Wow! Thank you all for the responses. My version of Inkscape: Inkscape 0.92.3 (2405546, 2018-03-11) I tried adjusting my render settings. I doubled all the values, tested, then tripled the values, tested... Unfortunately, I received the same result. I typically render via CLI,...

Hi, I have run into an unusual problem with PNG export. When I export my SVG to PNG at width 2000px, all works fine. However, when I change the width to 3600px, my PNG export is all black. Very strange/weird error. No error messages are printed to screen or terminal. This is a big problem because I ...

I can test this, but manually setting it in the GUI dialog doesn't really help my case, as I have some code actions that align by page, and require other code actions that need to be aligned by "selection area" within the same command line.

I use it to vertically center text within a rectangle.

I select a rectangle, I select text. I choose "selection area", then press the align vertical center button and the text centers inside my box.

Is there a different way to vertically center text within a box automatically?

Hi, Using the Inkscape verb "AlignVerticalCenter" I'm able to easily align an object through the CLI. When I do this, the object is vertically centered to the page. Within the Inkscape GUI Align and Distribute interface, there is a dropdown titled "Relative to". I would like to b...

Hi Pelle, Great extension!. I'm very excited to try. I have been working with Inkscape command lines, and have become very frustrated with the inability to pass values on the command line. It seems I may be able to pass values with your extension and a CSV file. Here are the 3 things I'm trying to a...

Hi,

When I export my document it is being exported as 8-bit. How do I make Inkscape export PNG as 24-bit w/ transparency?

Any help is much appreciated.

Hi Moini,

Thank you for your reply. How would I load the values from a file via command line to pass to the transform function? I don't see any Inkscape documentation for this procedure.

Hi, I am trying to rotate an object X degrees. I would like to use the command line interface, but I only see ObjectRotate90, ObjectRotate90CCW. In addition, it is my understanding that I can't pass values through verbs. So I couldn't even do FreeRotate=X even if this verb existed... Does anybody ha...

My process above required GUI to be launched because of the -z tag not supporting inkscape verbs. This was extremely annoying and forced me to run my scripts through a GUI. This slows down the process considerably. I stumbled upon a workaround that works great! Instead of using a full GUI, I launch ...

Yippee Ki Yay! I have been working for this solution on/off for almost 6 months. Thank you so much for your response. Your response put all the pieces together for me. Here is how it is done: cp template.svg new.svg && inkscape new.svg --select=text187 --verb=SelectionCombine --verb=Selectio...

Hi, Can I merge a path into an envelope via an extension by way of the Inkscape command line? I'm trying to write a script to generate hundreds of unique graphic files each with different text within. This is typically done with mail merge, but I need to be able to merge the text into a bezier shape...
