I want to draw an involute gear - I have a text file (can also be made into a CSV-file), describing the coordinates. Is it possible / how do I get all these (maybe 100 points or something) imported and connected together?
There must be a way... Please advice, thanks...
import coordinates from CSV-file
Re: import coordinates from CSV-file
Is it possible to make a script that uses the xml-editor to accomplish this?
Re: import coordinates from CSV-file
Or shouldn't it be possible to write directly to the svg-file... ?
Please help - inkscape noob.

Re: import coordinates from CSV-file
hi,
edit the following file (= replace ENTER CONTENT OF CSV HERE by your actual csv content)
note: coords should be in the following format x,y x,y x,y x,y
(or do it the other way : open you csv ; go to the front and add first part of svg; go to the end and add remaining svg)
