Equivalent to Adobe Extensions?

Postby happycactus » Thu Jun 12, 2014 2:04 am

Hi all, I am new to using Inkscape and also new to programming, so please bear with me.

I had several extensions on Adobe Illustrator that pulled data from an online database (for example, someones name) and integrated it into an Illustrator file. Is this kind of thing possible with Inkscape?

Thanks!

Hi.

That's perfectly possible.

See 'The manual';http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Extensions.html

My favourite is python https://www.assembla.com/spaces/MadButterfly/wiki/Introduction_to_inkscape_python_extention
but you can write extensions in any language, http://sugarpillstudios.com/wp/?p=142
