How to send click signal to the Apply button without using mouse?

Postby user1 » Sun Jan 07, 2018 6:14 am

After inkscape is compiled and started is it possible to send click signal to the Apply button without using mouse.

Code: Select all

Transformation::Transformation()
    : UI::Widget::Panel ("", "/dialogs/transformation", SP_VERB_DIALOG_TRANSFORM),
      _page_move              (4, 2),
      _page_scale             (4, 2),

Unfortunately, I don't have the skills to understand your code. I just wanted to mention that if you want to contact developers, you'll need to use either the devel mailing list, or dev IRC. Mailing list is probably the most dependable way. https://inkscape.org/en/community/mailing-lists/ (Inkscape developers tend not to visit bb style forums.)

I think it would help us to answer your question if you could elaborate on your goal. What do you want to achieve? Hitting apply might not be the best way to do it.

I want automaticaly duplicate the particular object when start inkscape and load a SVG file.
Then I want new duplicated object automaticaly moved to another place using Transform dialog, the Move option.
I want do it without having to use mouse

What is your goal? Could this be done using the command line? Do you want batch processing?

Yes I want batch processing if it is possible over it.

If I enter this command line
inkscape --verb EditSelectAll drawing.svg


the object will be automaticaly selected after inkscape starts.

If I enter this command line

inkscape --verb EditSelectAll --verb DialogTransform drawing.svg


the object will be selected and the transform dialog will be open automatocaly.

How to add move parameters directly over command line so the selected object is moved automaticaly.

That's impossible, currently... The command line doesn't take any parameters, except for those listed in the man page and this: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Using_xverbs . You could do alignment with other objects automagically, but almost everything that opens a dialog needing user input is doomed to fail.
You can, however, use an xml parsing library of your choice or an extension to add those transforms programatically. (they can be removed programatically, though: ObjectRemoveTransform) - an extension can be called from the command line, and doesn't necessarily need user input.

Btw. there's also an interactive command line that lets you try things out.

May somebody refer or write a simple example how to move selected object with python script.

Look into the extensions that come with Inkscape, and look for those that add a tranform (or rather: translate) attribute to an object. Or look at how some use functions from simpletransform.py - or use an XML library of your choice to add that translate attribute.
(depending upon the question if you want to use an extension, or write your own script that you can use without relying on Inkscape).

For external scripts to work reliably, make sure that there are either no transforms in your drawing that affect the object you want to move, or that you deal with them properly.
