I have a CSV text file having 1000 lines specifying 1000 circles, with fields x,y and r. Can anyone suggest how I can get these circles created in Inkscape? Perhaps some script or external SVG creator tool? Thanks.

Hi.

I have been barking up this tree a lot lately!
Perfect task for python using the csv and svgwrite modules.

Please revert back if help is needed writing the script.

If anyone knows an existing script/tool, please do say. Thanks.

Ok, I'll bark up a tree a little deeper in the woods;

Use Veusz, ready made for you, accepts CSV - outputs SVG.

If we can see (part of) your CSV file we can help you along.

Looks great - thanks. I see how to get the x and y - in an XY plot - but not the r.

You "Scale Markers" to r.

See this;

(You have to change the import path to where your csv file is located.)

Result from Veusz using your data; (Grids and Labels can be turned off and image can be centered by adjusting borders.)

Wow! Just the ticket. Thanks! Trying it now.
