exactly right.
I use exported svg as import to Wings3D - based on the greatest modeler in the world: Symbolics - S-Geometry... (long gone lisp machine)

Ohh that is just brilliant. I did not realise that at all. so if I duplicate the object and then union it with itself - it all breaks apart. I still can't quite work out why Union does that but its a great result. As for why - I'm creating the QR code at many different Z depth levels in many differe...

Thanks guys, I'm reading up on tiling clones and checking out the inbuilt QR code generator. (alas fails in 0.48.4 with localise error - I'll check the code) However: ctrl++ does a uniion - but a union with what ? how will a union separate a region from the original ? ctrl-shift-K combines one or mo...

I've got a shape made from 'Trace Bitmap'. Its of a QR code. The image shows the problem clearest. I'm trying to extract each separate section as a shape. As you can see currently they all share points at the boundary of each block. http://i39.tinypic.com/27wzyol.jpg I'm trying to find an efficient ...

It does not write out to a file. Instead it shows you the data in a small popup window.
Then you need to manually cut and paste it into some other file for your use.

AFAIU dbus does not work on Windows. (but I see they intend to work on that at some point - alas the latest release makes no mention of it in the release notes) I don't need dialogs - I was commenting on the purpose of the existing fork. I have searched but obviously not well enough and can find no ...

yes - good idea much safer - I expect I will make a deepcopy and then delete the transformed result.
I can't get access to object-to-path its not exposed (same as union or many other tools)
SO I guess I will have to skip all non-paths

it looks like its not possible to do this :? Only a very limited interface between inkscape and python exists. It appears to only support the manipulation of grouping, styles, svg paths, and import/export of new formats. There is a fork of inkscape which has a python binding here: https://code.launc...

I would be happy to - and i have some more extensions to add also - its not clear to me how to add them so they end up in he next release. Perhaps I should get on the developers mailing list ?

To fix the transform issue: - import simpletransform - for each path (node.tag == inkex.addNS('path','svg')) - simpletransform.fuseTransform(node) Will 'bake' the coordinates into the node (discarding the transform). You can also get the paths all converted to cubic super paths to handle lines, move...

I am having a blast creating some extensions. I wonder is there a way to call union or intersect on a pair of closed paths I have created. (stored in lists) Something like: for x in range(len(xblocks)): for y in range(len(yblocks)): piece = intersect(xblocks[x], yblocks[y]) Thanks...
