Hi,
First, I would like to thank all Inkscape coders and contributors. This is a real good software and I use it a lot. Thanks, guys !

I am currently trying to code my first Inkscape extension, that generates a guitar fingerboard.
I have two questions about dimensions.

1 - In the input fields, I only have one digit after the decimal point. Is it possible to have two or more digits ?
2- In the main Inkscape interface, the dimensions and position of an object are automatically converted, when switching from one unit to another. Is it possible to get the same kind of behaviour in an extension ?

Thanks for your help.

I found how to specify the number of digits after the decimal point, by adding precision="number_of_digits" in the .inx entries.
Any answer for the second question ?
Thanks,
Tomate

Hi Tomate,

Welcome to InkscapeForum!

I can't answer your question, unfortunately. But I wanted to let you know that relatively few of our members will know the answer, and who probably don't visit the forum every day. I'm confident that someone will know, it just might not happen right away. So I just want say hang in there And welcome

AFAIU not automatically, you have to take care of the conversion yourself in the python script - see for example the 'Visualize Path > Measure Path…' extension, which allows to select a unit in the extension dialog and does the conversion accordingly (using a helper function from 'inkex.py': unittouu()).
